[WWEi - Raw Edition]

the sound is AWESOME!!1 :-)

At first, the file size looked questionably large.. but it was fair, considering all that awesome audio you atempted to compress. Yep- the audio was awesome!!!1 haha Jerry Lawler's voice was the besssst... plz make michael cole's voice jusst as funny in the smackdown installment. And please continue to make the audio (intentionally) 'below par'. Seriously, it makes this submission hilarious. I also liked the introductory scenes you presented- looked very neat & tidy. I didn't mind the graphics all that much- on the contrary, they were done pretty well to me. Simplicity does the trick really.. don't waste too much time on the visuals though; because ur submission has really got something going for it in content-wise & overall funny style & presentation. I think you did the right thing here... breaking it up into 3 scenes. The duration was good- plus, you were able to replay this interactive game which makes gameplay twice as long at the least. People don't realise that longer flash presentations increase flash development time three-fold, although i have little experience in this field though. Great project- Good luck for the efforts you invest in Smackdown!

Thanks for the support, and you're the first person who considers the sound the best part!

[Tha Viruz v1.1]

awesome update

yep.. it's official, this version is leaner & meaner lookin', has more interactivity and just generally more fun than its predecusor!! i'm totally fallin' in love with the new features.. i've noticed that the instructions are more friendlier in this version - NICE. The visuals are more graphically detailed too, adds to a pleasing playing environment indeed. Enough with the praise, awesome update overall

GameBalance responds:

Hey, thanks! You played 1st version :)

[Tha Viruz]

aka timeconsumer!

i kno u did ur best with the instructions but- ya, it was trial & error 4 me... hehe those virus icons were tricky, kept missing'em!1 well... my defective mouse did umm! gameplay was excellent & creative; there was a nice variation of tactics you presnted us with- not too simple, yet not too overwhelmingly diffikult. I suggest that you add a visual indication of level up's. For example, every point increment of 200 will increase the speed of the oncoming viruses. But not in a predictable way, maybe short bursts of rampage & periods of rest.. it's really addictive too. Maybe adding BOSS viruses meh, who knows hehe.. overall, awesome awesome awesome!!

GameBalance responds:

BOSS virusez :) Nice!

[Avoid 2]

nice update

still retains its simplicity.. yet, there is only so much you can do with a concept that was intently made simple (I may be wrong). It's going to be one of those Final Fantasy sequals hehe.. well, it's worth a shot if you have the spare time! As long as there's no seizure backgrounds... :-) neat work dude

C360 responds:

LOL. Nope, there's a lot of great ideas that people made that can come into play.

Thanks!

[Avoid]

misleadingly fun!

i get the idea that this submission was meant to be simple and plain with a small file size.. it's a nice fresh concept though.. that would be favourably appealing with the addition of levels with different playing conditions, etc. sound effects would wake up the audience as well. Neat piece of work nevertheless :-)

C360 responds:

Great ideas. And thanks. A lot of people been suggesting things similar, now its time to put those ideas to work and make a new version.

[dress a snow man]

a fun, enjoyable dressup :-)

great lookin' background you got there.. 'foilage' painting styles heh nicee, i'm soo lovin' the chipmunks in the music background ahaha good stuff there.. but in all seriousness it's a good 'fun' music track that projects a pleasent atmosphere, maybe loop the track next time ? it got a bit quiet without it.. heh nice accessories with the snowman, but it's a bit plain and ordinary. you need some more funny accessories, see the cigarette and jamaican hat were good..well if you want to improve it that is.. but i suggest that you move onto another project.. dressup simulator genre's these days are obsoleet.. nice work though

J0KER1344 responds:

thnks for the advice

[Delouse Saddam: Mini Game]

loving this concept... nice game, funny parody ha

wow congratulations, you have managed to create a very addictive game ;-) hehe.. i like the whole general concept of it, it's very fresh content and it's nice to see a game making a parody about saddam's capture and sanitary measures ahah.. i like the whole idea about using an actual picture of saddam and zooming it in where the 'gameplay' takes place.. also loving the challene, and unpredictable movements of the lice, like how it just appears from a random spot and disappears in another random spot, instead of just travelling predictably from one side of the screen to another..so nice script work on that! sound effects of the lice burning was an enjoyable addition, as well as the up-beat and tempo. music in the background... sound is good stuff in a game, good job on that... the interactivity is smooth, and the controls are responsive..well what can i say, great flash, great job

Ranxx responds:

Thanks so much for the review. It's ppl like you that keep conceptual artists submitting here. A lot of NG ppl only write a review when they have some hate to spread. Thanks again!

[J3nnica Dress Up]

nice dressing simulator - great detail

very nice variety and availibility of accessories you feature, i must say.. heh some of them were funny like the 'i love format' printing... nice to see you made a loop out of 'j3nnicas' eyes blinking.. some non-lazy work right there... the drawings, accessories , and backgrounds were drawn were drawn well and in great detail - good job on that! i like the whole thing with the animated flaming fireplace in one of the backgrounds you made, perhaps more backgrounds could be animated in someway, it serves as good eye candy.. the clothing accessories move smoothly when you select it with the mouse, so it works well there... well if your looking for suggestions... maybe making a 'reset' button is an idea, because along the way your going to mess the clothing accessories around when you try on different garments and put them back etc.. oh, and maybe some background music wouldn't hurt, it's a bit quiet.. but overall nice work, and good job :-)

Mopsicle responds:

I'm no musican. This game has been like this for weeks without music so in the end I dropped the whole idea. If someone wants to make me some background music, be my guest. The reset button was one of my ideas but in the end I just couldn't cope with this being left alone in the dark. Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appriciate something other than 'she's ugly' or 'dress ups suck'

At the moment I'd rather just pretend this never happened, I'm not proud of the end result and I spent way too long on this in the first place! I think it's time that I moved onto another project

[Classic Video Poker]

classicly addictive.. nice

a carbon copy of the original... a well polished project indeed, just as addictive... i like the feature how it instantaneously alerts you when you have matching pairs or suits etc.. makes you stress less and enjoy the experience more ha.. but what would be cool is if you electronically showed a picture of the cards being shuffled and see the 5 cards being handed out... of course it wouldn't be like the exact original, think of it as modified... now there's an idea... the sound effects were good, maybe add like a sound of a casino crowd in the background, and like the sound of money coins being inserted for an addition of increased realism.. but overall nice work

XSDSX responds:

Those are some good ideas. I may try implementing them some time. Thanks a lot for the review.
