Denvish's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xenosteel's Guide]

Superb

I really hope that people take the time to read this. Loads of useful info, presented in a highly entertaining style... this should be used as NG reference, linked from the FAQ.
I did have a few ideas about what you could add while I was watching it, but I forgot most of them. You could possibly suggest that first-time Flashers check their reviews in the Obituaries to pick up tips on where they went wrong.
Some great movies in there, too, even the 'crappy' ones were worth watching for humour, and I particularly liked your version of 'kill the guard'.
Anyway, as a Flasher and BPer myself, I'll finish off with: Well done. Spot on.

Xenosteel responds:

I included your advice about the obituaries, though I modified it a bit :P
hehe thanks I liked Vai-Oh-Lyn's (my version of kill the gaurd) too!

your words were very lovely, they really cheered me up and made me glad for spending all the effort in making this tutorial, I deeply thank you!

[Goth 2 Prep]

Heh

Really original concept. Window was a bit too narrow for my liking, but I assume that was purposeful. Cool graphics, and good selection of suitable audio. Not something I'll be coming back to time & again, but an entertaining few minutes.
Good work

[-Simpsons Soundboard V.2-]

Yep, pretty good

It looks polished. The preloader is nice, you added a good selection of new samples, and nice to see you took my advice to add the Stop All Sounds button. I personally think it would be better if you added it as the first action on each sound sample button (yes, I know it would involve a lot of cut/pasting)
so it kicked in before the next sound file was called.
Pretty damn good Simpsons soundboard, though. Not much you can do to improve it further IMO.

rafidhoda responds:

thanks, yes i was trying to do that, but i coudent figure it out. Could we talk about this?

[-The Simpsons Soundboard-]

Yay Simpsons

Quite a polished presentation, but it needs LOADS more words & phrases. Also you really should use Actionscript on the buttons to stopAllSounds() before playing the next... check it out in the Actionscript Dictionary in Flash>Help menu

[Clock Crew Cart V2 Demo]

Real 3D?

Graphics during gameplay are superb. That's one hell of a game engine you have there. Crash screen is awful. Main problem is it's virtually impossible to see where the road's going next. Maybe do a wider screen on it? Also some sounds would be good. Very nice for the filesize, though. Look forward to the finished product...

[Cts VS ts dress up!]

Good graphics but

I fail to understand how anyone could actually enjoy a military dressup game. Seems like a wierd way to get your kicks...

[GS#8 - Gaping Anus]

Don't know how/why this got saved

It looks good, but it's unplayable because the controls don't work. I look forward to the fixed version...

[Kung Fu - Remix]

Heh

ooh those blocky sprites, don't you just love em? Never played the original, but it looks amazingly authentic. Great job.

[StickMan Interactive Adv.]

Haven't seen the previous versions

But it's a cool idea. Backgrounds could use a little more detail maybe, and music is a bit repetitive, but keep on working on this one.

[Mr Flacit's Word Search]

Lovely job

What a superb piece of work. Graphics are stunning, sound is spot on, coding exquisite... I just can't think of enough superlatives. I love word games, but couldn't figure out how I was getting 600-700 while others were boasting 2000+ - and then I got Wade... zoink!!!!!
I think the game is pretty damn good as it is, you just have to get used to not using vowels. However, I do have a few of suggestions in case you ever decide to update it (go on, release a version2, you know you want to...):
1) Online highscore table of top 20/50, or even one using Flash cookies on local machine so you can beat your own score.
2) A few more lines for Mr Flacit (no, not cocaine)
3) Definitely a 'SKIP ROUND' button. As gfox said, it gets annoying if you get a poor draw with no vowels
4) Plurals/past tense
5) Possibly change the scoring so 3 letter word=13, 4 letter=15, 5 letter=18, 6 letter=22 etc

Great job. I look forward to your next Flash project, should you ever get time to have one.

Oh yeah, high score = 1815 but I am gonna beat that, even if it kills me

liljim responds:

Not sure what the score changes would do to change anything - other than inflate everything by 10 points.

I'd have loved to include plurals and what not - maybe I should have worked harder on making sure they were there before release, but there are around 40,000 words in the engine and it's a tough job to get every word in there. :)
