"Style over substance"

submission: Rocket Attack

date: January 30, 2008

First off, the graphics look REALLY polished. You can see that somebody put some effort into it. I like them.

But there are two thing wrong with them:
1. They are a bit random. There seems to be no reason why the Robot looks like that and he doesn't have anything which would make him worth remembering. If you put so much effort into graphics, it is imprtant to work on the character of the graphics as well so they will have an appeal.

2. They slow my computer down (2Ghz Single Core) which is really bad. Bad graphics which run smooth are more fun that great graphics which stutter.

As for the game, itself it's the same: if you put so much effort into something, make sure it stands out from the crowd. Otherwise you are just wasting time.

Still I can see that somebody talented is at work here. Keep it up!

Score: 3

"Polished but plain and boring"

submission: Ultra Avoiding TURBO

date: December 23, 2007

It is a very simple game where you have to avoid different objects with your mouse. The game concept is very simple and very old. This particular remake doesn't really seem feature any improvements. The graphics are very crude and arbitrary, the music is something I'd rather turn off immediately. Although the game seems to have some polish (after the 3rd revision nothing you wouldn't expect) it isn't something I would spend too long playing. It needs some new game ideas and a consistent theme.

Score: 2

"Christmas-Themed Tutorial?"

submission: A Small Tutorial V5

date: December 18, 2007

I can't say anything about the quality of the content but as far as presentation goes, the Christmas theme is a very bad idea since the tutorial will be outdated in just 6 days. It is also very annoying. Having music in a tutorial is not a very good idea since you expect people to concentrate on the text. It is especially annoying since turn-music-off-button isn't permanent. The music is back when you press home.

One last thing: the graphics look really bad, like made in Microsoft paint with the mouse. I wouldn't use a tutorial like that just because it looks so unreliable. If you know enough about flash to do a tutorial you should be able to come up with something more polished.

Score: 9

"Well done and Funny!"

submission: It's a Halo Thing 1/2

date: December 17, 2007

This move is very funny. It has some great character animation, especially the faces are great in some scenes. The voice acting is superb and there are some hilarious gags ("problem solved"). I like it!

Score: 9

"Very Cool!"

submission: Grayscale Short

date: December 17, 2007

It might have no real "story" but the animation quality is superb. You can really see that someone put a lot of effort into this one. I love it.

Score: 8

"Nice Animations"

submission: Night Of The Snowmen

date: December 17, 2007

This Game features some very well done, funny animations and characters.

The gameplay, however, is somewhat dull and I can't stand any Christmas-Themed Games anymore.

Score: 9

"Great Game!"

submission: Elv is Black 2

date: December 16, 2007

Great Game! Great Graphics, great animation, simple and nice gameplay. Cool music, adorable characters. I love it!

Score: 7

"Nothing too new but some interesting features"

submission: The Parrot Hunter

date: December 15, 2007

I completely fail to understand why anybody would get money for shooting parrots.. or would play a game where he gets virtual money for shooting parrots. Besides that, it is your average click-on-moving-things-to-shoot-them-
game.

There are some crazy features though. There are some amazingly long and elaborate cut scenes, which you don't really need in this kind of game but they are still somewhat impressive. Then there is the option to invest the money you've got to earn even more money without shooting parrots which is just bizzare because I thought shooting parrots was the point of the game.

Nice, interesting game with some "production value" but, as I said, the gameplay is quite boring.

Score: 5

"Well executed but immature and boring"

submission: Kill Zone (Clay)

date: December 13, 2007

It is some nice claymation. An old technique and it is very exciting seeing how poeple are still experiment with it. Some funny effects too like the sword scene at the beginning.

However, the "plot" is very boring and immature. I think if you put so much effort into doing something, you should take your time to think it trough and come up with something meaningful to show.

But it is a nice start, and I'm looking forward to future films.

Score: 7

"Technically Awesome"

submission: Santa's Tower. Red Beard

date: December 13, 2007

For the technical point of view, this is an awesome game! Good graphics and amazing controls.

However, I think it is easy at the beginning and it doesn't get difficult fast enough. There is no real challenge.

Also, it is not clear which way around you are supposed to write the symbols. It leads to problems with the symbol ^

And last but not least, I'm soooo sick of the Christmas theme. The game is good enough to be played all year around, why limiting it to a seasonal thing?

However, in spite of the nit-picking it is still a very well-made game.
