"Great, but a few things set it back."

submission: Red Remover

date: July 13, 2009

The game was fun to play, but there were certain things about it that bugged me. The faces on the shapes were perfect, but the rest of the graphics were very plain. I think even just using a thicker line for the characters would have made it better. The music was decent, but I'm not sure it suits this type of game. Often times I'll find myself continuing to play some random game even after I get bored with it because the music is catchy, that's not the case with this one. The music didn't even appear to loop at all. And really, a farting sound when you fail a level? That was just stupid. I also think you should integrate the Sound FX options and that stuff into the actual game menu. Having to go to the right click menu for that feels a bit... odd. I guess I'm just not used to it.

All that being said, you've made another fantastic game. Nice job :D

Score: 10

"Awesome presentation."

submission: Free Will - The Game

date: June 26, 2009

I Loved the way everything looked and sounded, very old school. It also happened to be fun to play :P

Also, does the fact that the game shows a recording of what you did before you died (and apparently not be able to retry until you reopen the game) have anything to do with the game's title? Clever stuff.

Score: 10

"Fuck."

submission: Toggle

date: June 18, 2009

I'm trying to wonder how/why I never checked this out. This is exactly the type of game that I love playing. It's simple, addictive, relaxing, and it's not a complete cake-walk. Very nice job.

Score: 9

"Amazing game, but..."

submission: Super Stacker 2

date: February 3, 2009

The implementation of the music was terrible. The song choice was great, but you didn't loop it, it would just stop. You don't give the option to mute sound effects or the music either, so if I just want to listen to my own music, I have to wait for the song you put in to stop. The game itself is just awesome though, nice job. The whole music thing really bothers me though.

Score: 8

"Impressive animation."

submission: Rubiks Cube

date: November 28, 2008

Looks like there was quite a bit of effort put into this. I loved the facial expressions, and your overall drawing style. It was a little random, and the ending seemed a bit abrupt, but I still enjoyed it.

Also, when I first saw which songs you used I expected it to be much more creepy :P Thanks for using ma music.

Score: 5

"Contrary to what you're saying..."

submission: The One Layer Collab

date: January 17, 2008

This isn't made in one single layer. It's pretty obvious (especially when you right click and press play) you're using symbols everywhere just so there's only one layer in the main timeline. I mean, anybody could take a flash with 20 layers, make 20 movie-clips out of each layer and then finally put all those movie clips in the main layer, but what's the point? Not only is the collaboration idea itself rather mediocre, the animation, for the most part, isn't all that special either. On the plus side, the song was cool, and there was some pretty good stuff on there. The menu also looked very nice.

Score: 6

"Overrated..."

submission: :the Composer:

date: January 5, 2008

There was obviously a lot of effort put into the animation, and music, but was there as much effort put into the story (and voice acting for that matter)? I'll start off with the voice acting: it was extremely unconvincing, and laughable. The voices also happened to take me away from the music, so you probably would have been better off without them. On another note (pun intended?), why is he playing piano while his parents are fighting?

Then his dad leaves, and, "The Composer," decides to roll, oh wait, DRAG his piano onto the side walk so he can... play piano outside. Why? While he's playing a bum happens to stroll along - by the way, what kind of place does this guy live in where hobos are just strolling along the sidewalk? So the guy gives him some cash, but before that, the Composer closes his eyes, clench his teeth, and starts whimpering. Am I supposed to be moved by now? Then, my favorite part, the bum looks up with a smile, a tear in his eye, and the Composer plays a nice little chord - classic. Then I guess the Composer says to himself, "Well shit, if I can impress some random hobo on the street I must be amazing," and drags his piano all the way to the city to play for all the people who couldn't care less. It's at this point, some guy talking on a cell phone rolls open this paper saying, "The Composer," which of course implies that he is instantly famous. Then some more instruments are brought into the mix, and the Composer's job is now limited to holding one hand on a music stand, and waving his arm around on the beat. Oh, and why are everyone's eyes closed? Shouldn't they be reading the music?

Only now, after God knows how many years, people start to realize that this, "composer," has been playing the same song the whole time! And then the song finishes, so he decides to walk home. The part where he passes the heavy metal show seemed a little unnecessary to me, keep in mind I'm not just saying that because I'm trying to defend that genre of music, which I'm not. So the composer arrives home, and discovers that his house has been abandoned. He turns and notices a sad boy playing his guitar. He gives him some money, starts crying, nice face by the way, and sits down next to him.

In the end, I think what basically ruined the flash was that you tried to hard, and it shows. The fact that the story is so stupid helped kill it for me as well.

Score: 10

"Closest you could get to EgoRaptor's work."

submission: Awesome's Creed

date: November 23, 2007

If I didn't know any better, I would definitely think this is one of his submissions. Everything was spot on, including voices, animation, and the general randomness to it. Only thing that could of used a change was the ending gun shot (hurt my ears). Seriously though, great job. I really think you should continue making more seeing as how the Awesome series is basically coming to a halt.

Score: 8

"Very clever :P"

submission: Out of Sink

date: October 24, 2007

Some of the animation was a little choppy, but I think that sort of added to it - the guy looked hilarious when he ran. You definitely get some extra points for the awesome choice of title. Overall, a funny video. Good job!

Score: 5

"You're one great artist."

submission: A Transformation

date: November 5, 2006

It was a really amazing animation, but the fact that it was the only thing in the flash, putting aside the music, kind of lowered the score for me. Since you say you don't have the patience to make flash, I recommend you make a bunch of short animations, like this one, then put them all together. So the user could scroll through the different mini animations you made. You could also give the option to listen to different songs.
