"More than I expected."

submission: Ichi Vs Byaku

date: September 29, 2008

Let's just state that I've never seen bleach, I know what it is, but I've never watched it.

Animation:9/10:
Some very nice, smooth, animation. Didn't amaze me, but you deserve a high rating.

Sound:10/10:
A good, high quality, backing track that added to the submission. The announcement was high quality, the sound FX was of high quality. Very well picked, you deserve a ten.

Art:9/10:
I liked the background. The stickmen were drawn very well. They looked different to most stickmen.

Humour:Not rated:
Not enough humour to rate. There was humour but it didn't really add or take away from the submission.

Presentation8/10:
I liked the way this was presented. The presentation helped out the overall quality.

Preloader:9/10:
I wow the preloader. A nice button over it to help you keep entertained for a few seconds before the submission starts.

Style9/10:
I love stickmen. These were stickmen but not drawn the same as the rest. This added originality to the flash style.

Violence:8/10:
Lots and lots of lovely violence.

V-Camming:9/10:
Not much use of vCam, what was used was well done.

Execution:10/10:
Well executed. Special fighting moves were performed a lot, which stopped it from getting too repetitive.

Overall:9/10:
Just well done. Everything else is mentioned above.

Score: 9

"A very nice, informative flash."

submission: How to write good reviews

date: September 26, 2008

I liked this submission a lot. It didn't teach me a lot that I didn't know, but I know that if all the users who write low quality reviews read and follow this flash, the flash portal would be a better place and contain less abuse. Well done for that.

Now, onto the review:

Animation:Not rated:
Not much animation. It's a guide so it's ok for little animation.

Sound:9/10:
A good, high quality, backing track that added to the submission. In many guides and tutorials the audio is distracting, but this suits the submission well. Well picked.

Art:8/10:
Nice fonts, decent background colouring and screenshots (if screenshots are counted as art), Well done.

Humour:Not rated:
Not enough humour to rate.

Presentation8/10:
I liked the way this was presented. The presentation helped out the overall quality.

Preloader:Not rated:
A good preloader, but I only give scores if the preloader was created by the artist. This is the standard NG preloader.

Style:Not rated:
Not rated.

Violence:Not rated:
Not rated.

V-Camming:9/10:
No vCam (or none that I could see) used.

Execution:10/10:
Informative and helpful. How every guide should be. Well done.

Overall:9/10:
Great overall. All the parts come together and form a great flash. A few improvements could be added (maybe a test after the guide) even small improvements can make a big difference. I wish you both luck in future submissions.

Score: 10

"A great flash."

submission: Can I Play With Madness

date: September 26, 2008

Animation:9/10:
Great animation, looks nice, mirrored real life (good character physics) and, well, just overall very nice. I couldn't see the animation at it's full greatness since I watched it on a low spec computer, I'll watch again on a higher spec computer.

Sound:10/10:
Very nice sound. Can I play with madness is a great song. The second song is very nice too. Sound FX is great as well.

Art:10/10:
Great character design, background design and execution on the art. More detail could be added but overall very well done.

Humour:9/10:
Not much humour, but what was there was quite funny. The dramatic evolution followed by a simple bullet through the head was unexpected and witty.

Presentation8/10:
I liked the way this was presented. Not amazing, but nice.

Preloader:Not rated:
A good preloader, but I only give scores if the preloader was created by the artist.

Style:10/10:
Great style. Some of the best madness animation around.

Violence:10/10:
Very well animated and realistic (well...farfetched, but...). Overdone, but that's the way I like it.

V-Camming:9/10:
Very nice use of vCam. Well done.

Execution:10/10:
Wow, I'm amazed. Ten out of ten all the way.

Overall:10/10:
Great overall. All the parts come together and form a great flash. I wish you luck with future submissions.

Score: 2

"Very...short."

submission: fbf something

date: September 24, 2008

Animation:1/10:
Quite low quality. I like FBF flash but this was choppy, short, and didn't have much point.

Sound:6/10:
A good backing track. Not any other sound though.

Art:2/10:
I liked the background. Apart from that, I was not impressed.

Humour:Not rated:
No humour.

Presentation1/10:
Not much to present.

Preloader:0/10:
No preloader. Very annoying.

Style:5/10:
The FBF style is nice but I think you could improve on your work.

Violence:Not rated:
No violence.

V-Camming:Not rated:
No vCam used, or none that I realised.

Execution:0/10:
I didn't enjoy it. You CAN improve on your flash. Just take more time on it.

Overall:2/10:
Very short. Try to improve and extend your flash.

Score: 10

"Amazing"

submission: Madness Regent

date: September 24, 2008

Animation:9/10:
Very nice. Smooth, clean animation.

Sound:8/10:
Well produced, original and fitting sound.

Art:10/10:
Brilliant character, background and object design.

Humour:9/10:
Not much humour, but the ending was humorous and unexpected.

Presentation:9/10:
Presented well. Very well.

Preloader:9/10:
It's the madness day preloader, but still very nice.

Style:10/10:
I loved the style of this flash. Set out well.

Violence:10/10:
A load of nice, well created violence. Like every madness flash should.

V-Camming:Not rated:
No vCam used, or none that I realised.

A.I.:9/10:
Very well created AI, in some situations repetitive.

hitTests:10/10:
No hitTest bugs noticed.

Physics:9/10:
Brilliant physics, I can't think of much more to say.

Characters:9/10:
Great characters, though unoriginal. Using Hank in a flash is very unoriginal. No disrespect intended.

Execution:10/10:
Great execution. Some of the best, and well animated features to a flash.

Overall:10/10:
Many great features, combined make great flash. This flash has many great features and is a good overall flash. Well done. Nothing less expected from two of the most respected users on newgrounds.

Score: 2

"Choppy animation."

submission: Wegra Adventure 5

date: September 23, 2008

Animation:1/10:
Not too impressive. Very choppy and seemed more like a powerpoint than an animation.

Sound:3/10:
Quite well done. The voices were very bad and some dialogue didn't have sound added, no lipsync was apparent as well. The MGS sound was well added but more sound effects were needed.

Art:2/10:
Very bad art...I'm sure you can do better. Don't get me wrong, some good art was used but it needs a lot of improvement. In a few scenes no backgrounds were used, if you added some the whole flash would feel more professional.

Humour: 5/10:
A few good jokes, nothing too original though.

Presentation:2/10:
Not much needed, so not much added.

Preloader:4/10:
I'm glad you added a preloader, but I only give good marks for this if you created your preloader yourself.

Style:3/10:
I didn't like the style of this flash. Not much else to say.

Violence:Not rated:
No violence.

V-Camming:Not rated:
No vCam used.

Execution:4/10:
I've seen a lot better, I've seen a lot worse.

Score: 4

"A nice flash."

submission: Nameless Flash File

date: September 21, 2008

A nice game - Give a more impressive or original title and you will get less 0-Bombers

Animation:1/10:
Not too impressive. The worst point of the game.

Sound:Not rated:
No sound, add some and people will vote higher.

Art:5/10:
Decent art, I liked it but it would look a lot nicer if some more detail was added.

Humour: No rating:
No humour needed, some was added on but not enough to rate for.

Presentation:2/10:
Not much needed, so not much added. What was there wasn't presented too well but I've seen scruffier flashes.

Preloader:0/10:
None added. This is the only attribute I vote on if there's none involved as it can piss you off a lot if there's no preloader. Go onto the download page of newgrounds to get yourself one.

Style:4/10:
I love stick figures but they're very overused. These stick figures weren't used well so that took some marks off the score, in fact I've given 8 to a stick movie for style before.

Violence:5/10:
Not very well created. Worked well enough but more weapons would've been nice, as well as some more blood.

V-Camming:Not rated:
No vCam used.

Execution:6/10:
Very nicely created. It worked very well but took a while to get into. If someone just saw the start they might get confused in what to do and vote low. Some more time and effort could help this flash a lot.

Score: 9

"I liked it"

submission: Metal Gear Crisis 1.2

date: September 18, 2008

Sound: 9/10:
Quite nice, worked well with the animation style.
Animation:8/10:
A good style but at some points it seemed very choppy and I found a few times, especially when Snake was running, when the fill on a certain object didn't cover it all, please respond if that is just the style.
Art:9/10:
Some well created backgrounds and objects in this flash, one thing that did stick out was the line tool moustache, a way of improving this would to make it slightly more fluid, though that suggestion would fit into the animation section more.
Humour:9/10:
A few very well thought out jokes and humorous phrases in some scenes but the comedy was spread out far, and some scenes had little or no humour in.
The box joke made me laugh quite a bit and it is quite true to most of the metal gear games I can remember playing.
Presentation:9/10:
Well laid out but nothing special.
Preloader:9/10:
Very nicely made but again, nothing to make it too different to most preloaders used in flashes. Still it's nice to see some flashes not using the newgrounds preloader.

And an overall suggestion would to have the tabChildren boolean set to false to make it harder for users to just be able find the easter egg.

I hope I helped.

Very ninja, I liked it but it kinda needs a ninja cutting pirates open then sucking their organs out with a straw.

submission: [KK] Daily Seizure #3

date: September 14, 2008
