"Needs work."

submission: Flash Crossroads

date: June 30, 2008

Well, there's not much I can say about this submission except that it needs some tweaking and fixing up here and there. First of all, I have no idea what just happened, I saw a lot of sprites, but the dialogue passed just way too rapidly. Secondly, you used sprites. Sprites are extremely unoriginal and don't show any signs of creativity in an author of an animation, it shows laziness. Lastly, when you are displaying the transition of time, it's a white screen with hand written words, the credits are also hand written, on a blank frame. If you don't have straight, neat writing, then use the text tool, and add something more in the background.

Here is a summary of pros and cons:

Pros:
N/A

Cons:
- You used sprites
- Dialogue passed too quick
- No preloader
- "Transition of time" was sloppy

That's about it, good luck with your future projects.
- Credits were sloppy

Score: 5

"Mediocre"

submission: Agile Flyer

date: June 30, 2008

Well, Tikislab, you certainly have the ability to create great graphics, but you need to find yourself a better concept. The game is just way too hard, I understand that it's meant to be this way, but there's a limit. I couldn't last more than a couple of seconds, but thats because I suck at these kinds of games. This game has so much potential to do better, and so do you. I'm not writing this review for you because I want you to feel bad, I'm writing it because I want to see you do better.

Here is a summarized list of the pros and cons that this game has:

pros:
- Nice graphics

cons:
-Very hard
-Not a very good concept

Tiki, here's a recommendation for your future projects. Before you release a game/animation, post a link to it on the newgrounds forums. You will get feedback and tips before you actually release the game, so when you actually get around to releasing the game, it will live up to your full potential. I look forward to seeing more submissions coming from you.

Score: 9

"Good"

submission: The_Weekend

date: June 30, 2008

Very nicely done, Brokenfridge. For your first submission to newgrounds this was fairly impressive. The only things I would recommend that you improve for future submissions is your art and animation. Your art wasn't horrible, but that doesn't mean it doesn't require improvement. The animation, was choppy at some points and the entire "movie" felt like it was moving very slowly. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this submission very much. Nice concept, almost excellently executed.

Here are a list of the pros and cons this submission has, for future reference.

Pros:
- Nice concept
- Executed quite nicely

Cons:
-Choppy animating
-"Rough looking" art/drawings

You have much potential, keep up the great work.

Score: 1

"Horrible."

submission: Untitled-11.swf

date: June 29, 2008

I'm not going to take my time to write a review for this. It was terrible, and yeah, I did escape using a "cheat". I hit the "X" in the right hand corner of the window about twenty seconds in.

Score: 9

"Fantastic!"

submission: Deathgore

date: June 7, 2008

Very well done, TrippingMetal. You have put together a very comedic and action packed animation. I enjoyed it from the opening sequences all the way to the "cliff hanger" at the end of it.

Here are a list of the pros and cons this submission has:

Pros:
-Good Animation
-Good concept/story
-Nice soundtrack
-Very entertaining

Cons:
-Sound effects are missing

I find that sound effects are a must if you're aiming for a higher score. Unless that was completely intentional, you knew that sound effects weren't necessary, then that's fine with me. I really enjoyed this and I can't wait for the sequel, and for more of your works to be released. Keep up the great work.

Score: 8

"Good."

submission: I'll Save You!

date: June 6, 2008

This simple animation wasn't excellent, wasn't horrible. It was right in the middle. I actually enjoyed the actual storyline even though the animation was conducted using stick figures. Anyway, nice story. You don't really need excellent art to tell a story. You just need art that doesn't make the eyes of users bleed uncontrollably.

Here is a list of pros and cons:

Pros:
- Nice story
- Nice choice of soundtrack
- Good for something made in so little time
- Enjoyable in general

Cons:
- Stick Figures usage
- Just a little too slow and rushed

Anyway, it's fairly good. I mean, I've seen a lot worse here on newgrounds. It's definitely something to be proud of. Nicely done, hope to see more from you.

Score: 10

"Excellent."

submission: Irod Bad!

date: June 4, 2008

Even though I haven't seen Iron Man yet, I loved this submission, not as much as your Indiana Jones submission - but still. It was memorable, well thought of and flawlessly executed. I enjoyed it from start to end, it was funny and in total it was just really well put together.

Here is a list of pros and cons:

Pros:
- Nice animation/art
- Great concept/story
- Nicely executed

Cons:
N/A

So, basically: keep up the excellent work. I simply cannot wait to see more submissions coming from you, you certainly have talent.

Score: 10

"Fantastic!"

submission: Indiada Jodes

date: June 4, 2008

Being a fan of Indiana Jones, I simply adored this video. It looks like you put a lot of time and effort in to making this video, and the result is excellent. I laughed several times, and I just enjoyed the entire thing in it's entirety. I have not seen the kingdom of the crystal skulls, but it does look fairly interested. Anyway, back on subject of this submission.

Here are the pros and cons that this submission had.

Pros:
- Nice animation/art
- Beautiful concept
- Extremely comical
- It's Indy for christ sakes

Cons:
N/A

Nicely done, I'm going to go watch "Irod Bad" now, after seeing this submission I doubt I will be disappointed. Keep up the excellent work!

Score: 9

"Great!"

submission: Agent Scarecrow #2

date: May 31, 2008

You've done it once more, presented a fabulous instalment to this series. Everything was just the way it should have been in this episode, however, I was unable to complete the car chase scene. You need to do something with that. I believe the car scene doesn't work properly for me due to the fact that I'm using the Linux version of flash. Please, fix this issue. I want to know what happens in the end.

Here's a summary of the pros and cons:

Pros:
- Very good, enjoyable storyline
- Nice artwork
- Good voice acting
- Very fun and memorable

Cons:
-The car chase scene wasn't functioning
-This episode was too short

So, basically ... fix that issue, and you'll have a better game. By the way, when am I going to get the e-mail concerning testing episodes 3 and 4? I was very much looking forward to doing so.

Anyway. keep up the good work, always a fan of your works. Nicely done.

Score: 7

"Repetitive."

submission: JogoGames Prison Escape

date: April 6, 2008

I liked the concept of the game, the graphics and engine was fine, but the game itself was just way too repetitive. I mean, it was an easy game, the only extremely effective weapon was the second one, and I enjoyed the round I played.

Here's my complete review:

Pros:
-Nice Graphics
- Good Engine
- Nice Concept

Cons:
-Gets boring quick
-Variety of guns isn't good

That's it. Can't wait to see more games from you!
