"Great Work Yet Again!"

submission: Dad 'n Me

date: July 27, 2005

That game was amazing, the graphics were the usual synj goodness, and the gameplay and audio were also top notch. I have played the game through once, and it's still impressing me. It doesn't have huge replay value, but it definitely makes up for this with the style alone.

In conclusion, AWESOME. Great work again guys :)

"My score wasn't as high as I expected..."

submission: the NG Calculator

date: July 25, 2005

Not bad for this sort of thing (I'm sure all the stat whores will love it). Although, I still can't work out how you defined a feasible maney amunt for each of these stats; but I suppose thats not really the point anyway.

Onto the game itself, the presentation was nice, and I liked the NG style you had, but you could have done more here and made the whole thing look better. The old school audio track was nice touch though.

The batting average and whistle were a nice upgrade, but I still think the money you get from Flash and Audio submitions is too little. Meh, thats just my opinion anyway.

Overall, I liked the NG theme, and I thought it was a good idea, but it doesn't really have any replay value. After I entered my own stats, and a few other people, I got bored of it.

Score: 10

"Haha, GREAT."

submission: Alkie Kong

date: July 17, 2005

I really liked that game, it had just the right mix of novelty and gameplay. Also, being a huge fan of the old school ganes, I really appreciated the whole Donkey Kong theme.

The animation and music suited the style really well, and the whole thing was nicely presented, with an intro, and menu, and what not. Different modes were also a plus, although I have only tried the hard mode so far.

Anyway, it was fun for the whole fmaily. I'm hoping to see this one make the frontpage soon. Great work guys.

"Another sprite movie."

submission: Metal Slug: Battle

date: July 16, 2005

Well, I'm never a big fan of sprite movies, but that was pretty well done. The animation was smooth, and Metal Slug is always a good choice when it comes to sprites (I still love their explosions). I also liked the widescreen effect you had there.

As for the content, it was a little lacking in this area. There wasn't really any storyline as such, just some of the cooler sprites doing their thing. It was also quite short. I think if you had of bulked out this side of the flash more, it could have been quite a good little film.

As it stands though, I found it pretty average. Nice music track though.

Score: 4

"Hmmm. Rather disapointing."

submission: Jackass Quiz

date: July 16, 2005

Being someone who appreciated Jackass and CKY in the past, I thought I would check this quiz out. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed at all. First off, the graphics are really bad. There is some AS knowledge demonstrated in the game, but the presentation side really lets it down. If there was a nice graphical interface, with a bit of style and a good colour scheme, I think this could have done a little better.

As for the game itself, the content was ok. AS I have watched alot of these shows, I thought I would know pretty much all the questions, but even I found some of them hard. The questions seemed aimed at die-hard fans, as opposed to general viewers, but meh.

Overall, nothing impressive at all. The massive filesize doesn't help either, and I know that if you compress video more, the quality is terrible. Unfortunately, the format itself is hard to submit, with the 5 mb limit and all. Anyway, keep it up, and hopefully your next submission will be better.

"I liked it."

submission: Katocan

date: July 2, 2005

That was decent game, although my only problem was that it was a little simple. It was well designed though, and played nicely, despite getting repetitive after a while. There was choice of normal firing, or the special move, and this was slightly limited, but nothing major. Maybe one more variation of attack would have helped.

The animation was nice and basic, and suited the style really well. I guess you could have done more, and made the models more detailed; Still it reminded of that old game "Spectre Challenge", which is good im my books. The intro menu was a nice touch, and added a more professional feel to your flash. The audio also suited the theme very well.

Overall, I liked that game for what it was. Simple, but effective. Keep up the quality work Wez.

Score: 6

"Well done, but too short."

submission: HandyMen: Armed

date: June 29, 2005

That was a pretty cool little flash. I thought the animation was great, and the concept was good, it was just a little too short. I especially liked the design for your characters, and the NG tank turned out really well. In regards to artistic quality, this flash was impressive.

The idea itself was simple, but still came out nicely. I would say though, that overall the content was lacking. Keep up the good work misterjoe.

Score: 8

"That was great."

submission: Tornado Beat

date: June 25, 2005

I don't usually like this particular kind of FBF style flash, but that was definitely beyond the norm, and it worked really well. While the animation was simple at times, it was still well executed, and I liked the use of multiple colours.

The audio track was a great choice, and the syncing between animation and music was rather impressive at times. Other than the music track, there wasn't really much else, but this doesn't matter.

The best asset of this flash was the style, which was there from the start with a nice custom preloader. The film didn't drag on, and was the right length for this kind of thing.

Overall, I liked it. This submission shows not only animating skill, but also directing skill, which is more important. I look forward to seeing more work from you on Newgrounds.

Score: 8

"Nice little story."

submission: a present??

date: June 24, 2005

I'd like to see this submission pass judgement, although it was a little different, I thought it worked really well. The style of frame by frame animation you used was very well executed, and fitted in with the theme of your short.

The story itself was simple and fairly unoriginal, but nice nonetheless. I think this submissions strongest point was it's animation though. Keep up the great work cristian.

Score: 5

"Different, but not in a good way."

submission: SW VII Trailer

date: June 24, 2005

Well then, I didn't expect that. I guess the idea was to act out a new Star Wars film, to your own storyline. As newgrounds doesn't have a video portal, you are usually doomed from the start with these things (the 5 meg limit and flash format do not work well with video).

The actual film itself was pretty tame, and one thing that got was the lack of costumes. Clearly, the was very little effort here, same as the characters included. It was pretty poorly acted out, whether you were going for comedy or drama.

Although I could see you were aiming for humor, I really didn't find it funny. The problem with this flash is that it sits horribly in the middle. It's not good enough to be a serious, quality short, but it's not funny or silly enough to be comedy.

I'm sure you guys could do better.
