"Quite Strange"

submission: LessThanThree

date: February 14, 2009

A very nice animation; the style was quite different to most animations that I have seen before, which worked pretty well with the concept of the animation. You picked the audio track very well; so that was a good idea on your behalf.

The only things that could improve it was to make what was happening slightly more clear; as I didn't quite understand it.

Very nice, 3/5 and 8/10.

Score: 1

"To be honest; very bad."

submission: Epic Randomness

date: January 23, 2009

Firstly, all of the animation is obviously just a normal video imported into Flash, as you can see by how visible the individual pixels were and that there is some space at the sides with no content at all.

The actual animation is very low quality and is little more than a badly drawn face with the voice of a nine year old speaking with no body movement at all. The lip-sync was very low quality, too, and didn't really resemble what was really being said. The things that were actually being said weren't really funny at all, so I'd recommend working on the humour side of it, too.

Score: 9

"A fine tutorial."

submission: Being a Helpful NG'er

date: December 25, 2008

I have to say that this is one of the most useful tutorials I have seen on Newgrounds. I watched it when it was first released and at that time I really needed to improve on my reviews and BBS posts, if you checked my posts at around that time you would see why. This Flash really was helpful and was what inspired me to join the NGPD and (just several days ago) the NGDD. Although there wasn't much of them, the graphics were well made and set out well. If you two are going to be carrying on making these flashes or similar I would like to contribute to them as much as possible as I found them so helpful. If one of you want to carry on though the other doesn't just try to contact me via PM or user page.

I feel that there could be a section on each of the NG forums to help people post their threads in the right section, as just not telling people to post their threads into the right section may not be enough for many users, they might want extra information on each of the boards. I would also suggest making small updates, maybe once a month, nothing more.

Score: 10

"A nice list."

submission: Plagiarism: The Flash

date: October 28, 2008

Content:9/10:
Contains a lot of me, so I like it. Plus most of the paragraphs were meaningful. The level icon and userpage picture were nice ideas too.

Layout:10/10:
Despite what you said, I really liked the layout, and I needed something to drag the overall score up to ten (<3).

Originality:10/10:
An original concept for a flash, I've never seen a blog post turned into a flash
before, and I might never see it again.

Execution:10/10:
Well executed, there's something in this flash that makes me enjoy it more than most flashes.

Overall:10/10:
Overall, I enjoyed this flash, and passed it.

TL;DR:
I like!

5/5

Score: 9

"I am impressed"

submission: Swords and Sandals 3:Solo

date: September 29, 2008

Animation:9/10:
Good animation. Improvements to the physics of animation could be made.

Sound:9/10:
A good, high quality, backing track that added to the submission. This suits the submission well. Well picked.

Art:8/10:
Good art. Detailed, high quality art and backgrounds.

Humour:Not rated:
Not enough humour to rate.

Presentation8/10:
I liked the way this was presented. The presentation helped out the overall quality and has improved since the earlier games in the series.

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

Style:7/10:
I'm not sure if I like the style of art in this series. It's nice but the character style looks quite weird.

Violence:9/10:
The violence in this flash was very well done. I liked the blood effects if you choose to kill them.

V-Camming:Not rated:
No vCam (or none that I could see) used.

Gameplay:10/10:
Very good gameplay. The many opportunities regarding what to do were nice and stopped the flash from getting repetitive. The new options and places to go were very nice. A real improvement from the earlier games. The options for the character model were very nice. An improvement in AI was needed from the previous game and there was one, though it's hardly noticeable.

Execution:10/10:
Very well executed. Many good new features that make the overall quality of the flash just that bit higher.

Overall:9/10:
A very nice game. Though it felt more like an improved version of the earlier games than a new game.

Score: 9

"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: 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.

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

"Amazing"

submission: SumoBall

date: August 31, 2008

Great physics, great scenario, great AI, just amazing. As a flash author I know how hard it is to make a decent creation and this is great. A suggestion would be for more modes and custom modes.
