"I love the art style!"

submission: The Homeless Vagabond

date: November 14, 2008

Nice work on the simplistic, cartoony style of the Flash; it's certainly very creative. The whole "silent cartoon" approach definitely helped make this even better, and the music is just perfect.

I hope to see more from you on Newgrounds, keep up the good work!

Score: 8

"Very Clever!"

submission: Dream 404

date: August 25, 2008

I don't have much to say about this except it's very original. You don't see many Flashes like this on Newgrounds.

The stop-motion was nice; I like how the image gradually "formed" as it was being drawn bit by bit.
Considering that the actual drawing was done in real life as opposed to just doing it in Flash; this is especially impressive. Well done!

Score: 6

"Not bad, though it could use some work."

submission: Liveswif tutorial basic

date: June 1, 2008

This is a fairly useful tutorial for new users if they are having trouble getting started (I especially liked how the "tools" part of the tutorial had different parts of the Liveswif program as buttons), but it could use a little more information on how to use the tools, etc.

The graphics are decent, although the "tools" part of the tutorial looks a little crowded.

You definitely need to fix the sound, though, and like other reviews have said, the Liveswif link doesn't work.

Considering that this was made in Liveswif, which is not as feature-filled as Adobe Flash, this is alright, though like I said, it needs some more work.

Score: 7

"Not bad!"

submission: The LiveSwif Tutorial

date: May 11, 2008

I use Liveswif myself (and was also thinking of doing a tutorial!) and I think this could be very helpful for new users to get started.

It's not spectacular (it could have used a background) but it goes over the basics, although I think the tutorial could have covered a few more topics (i.e. how to use the tools, etc.)

Apart from that, nice work!

Score: 8

"Almost like the console game!"

submission: Flash Kurushi

date: May 8, 2008

For someone who has never played Kurushi, I'd say you remade the game fairly accurately, except in the actual game, normal and active blocks don't reappear at the top after going off the bottom. Although I only played the demo. :P

To improve the game, I'd recommend adding some sound effects (i.e. different sound effects for when the player removes different kinds of blocks or when a row gets removed.) You could also make the blocks slightly larger or even add a feature so that a bonus row appears for getting a perfect score on a level.

Score: 7

"Fun time waster..."

submission: DodgeTheTurrets

date: April 25, 2008

Nice work on the game, especially with the moving turrets.

You could improve this game by adding a background, some music (with a stop button, of course) and even a pause feature.

Score: 2

"Sorry, but this needs a LOT of work."

submission: Zeld's Mouse Maze

date: April 13, 2008

Your idea is fairly decent, but the graphics need improving.
Try adding a background and practicing with Flash's drawing tools. Make the objects more interesting; the walls are plain and could use some more detail.

This also needs music and sound effects. Maybe you could have a sound effect for when the player hits a wall.

Score: 8

"Fun game!"

submission: Fruit Pursuit

date: April 11, 2008

This game is very good, the graphics and animation seem polished, although the title screen looks a little bit messy to me. The music is very good and suits the game well.

The only complaint I have against this game is that there needs to be more levels, possibly with a time limit e.g. "get X points before the timer runs out!"

Score: 9

"What the hell did I just watch!?"

submission: Larvae

date: April 5, 2008

This Flash is certainly... creative. It's very well animated with some good character designs and music. Nice work!

Score: 8

"That was... interesting."

submission: Indie

date: March 8, 2008

The animation was fairly well done; I thought the animated background effect and the interstitial parts added to the atmosphere of the whole flash.

Nice work on making a satire on the whole "indie" craze.
