"i'll have to be slightly biased"

submission: Lucky 7 Crew = Fatjewfags

date: December 25, 2007

FINE I WILL BE BIASED. OK I WILL BE OK?

now, onto your flash, i think you could have animated more then just two frames, maybe in colour with a background would make it better too. I paused your frames and i think your drawings were quite good. Maybe you could have tried animating. I also found the music, if that played, you'd get a higher score. Maybe if you drew mouths too, it would be better. A lot of improvement to be made, but the plot is excellent.

Score: 5

"Promising Start..."

submission: song 2 - blur music video

date: November 23, 2007

I liked the Frame by frame Line thing at the start, and it was a shame you didn't carry it on (yes I know it takes a long time, but then the song is only 2 minutes and a bit long). I didn't understand the weird face either. The guitar guy was also OK. A thing to add is a slightly darker tone towards the outlines of things- it helps. The school burning, try making the flames move- it makes it look much more real.

But seriously, parts like where the man pushes the woman looks very irregular- you've just motion tweened it. The bits where no background (white) should have some, I think you'd get away with putting words for one or two sections, but you could have put the words on a T.V.

A good part was during the "Woo-Hoo!", there were only two actions. That part I liked. I think it was too literal (in a bad way) wherwe the person was touching the others hair during the "When I feel heavy metal", maybe you could have a look at the lyrics :) The muffin sections were just a gap filler too. However, I did like the guy slipping- an example of good animation.

A bit I quite liked was when the mouths of the pictures were moving, like in Fonejacker or some Monty Python stuff. I think it ccan be improved on greatly, but then it would be really good.

Score: 8

"For your first game, its fantastic"

submission: Icy Bubble

date: November 23, 2007

It was really good- the concept, the design etc. was really good. I liked the themes- water, etc. The obstacles were good- I think that the circle spinning things were a bit hard though...

It needs music- i think some icy music would be good- techno might fit in, i'm not sure. Maybe you could have as well as levels, themes- 10 levels of ice, 10 levels of fire and brimstone etc. I also think you could have made different shaped blocks rather then just squares. Another idea i think would be good is to show wind etc. with an occasional wind thingy moving across the screen. And just maybe, a choice of easy, medium or hard.

This game was really good. I think you should have expanded on your initial ideas... well done

Score: 9

"Good game, but needs a lot of improvement"

submission: ImminentII - Resilience

date: November 10, 2007

Your game is quite good, but in my opinion, the last game was better. This game had a lot of bugs. I got tonnes of money for shooting one thing (couple hundred thousand).

One reason why I liked the prequel was that the graphics were good. In this- being frankly honest, black blobs. I also think that there weren't enough weapons-I liked the mortar idea- only except that the mortar didn't do any damage.Also, there were much less weapons. Only about 10. In the last one, there were at least 20 including upgrades.

There were many bugs. I have seen the following:

- Tonnes of money for killing air (Ie nothing)
- On the infinite mode, in Level 20, I just died when there was nothing there, and whatever killed me did something like 900 damage.

I liked the design, I thought the loader and menu were amazing, though a bit confusing. I also didn't like the backgrounds- there were only 2. On the pasue menu, you had to guess what the buttons did, since there were no labels.

So, to improve it, I think that you should:

- Try to ensure there aren't any bugs
- Try harder on the graphics- like Imminent I
- Make labels for menus
- Make more weapons
- Make 'turrets' that are auto-controlled that can be upgraded.
- Make boss levels
- Cheats?
- Maybe create soldiers that kill units... or that just might make it rubbish and slow
- Make 3 Save Slots

I know that was a lot of suggestions, but I hope it helps :)

Score: 10

""Oh Dave- Your dirty man""

submission: Retarded Animal Babies 19

date: November 5, 2007

Quoted from The NG Sketchbook Tour... which in my opinion was true- in a good way. That was very funny, and I really was quite shocked by the start as the others weren't. Good job for experimenting!

It was really funny this one... when Lindsay Lohan asks "is it the 300 again" you think the dog is about to pay her but its actually vice versa. I think the graphics were excellent (as always) and the sound was suitable. Well done!

Score: 10

"Amazing, just Amazing"

submission: Age of War

date: November 5, 2007

Very good your game (I normally review games at least 1 week after it is submitted due to bugs), there were absolutely NO bugs...

I like the 'evolve' part of the game where you could get newer parts + soldiers etc. However, i think there could be more units etc. Also, the background never changed (from caves to WWIII) I think you could have done special units ie on one level, it is WWIII and it is flooded so you can only make submarines and ships- what i am trying to say is that i think that there should be more themes and ages.

Also, it was too easy once you got the ion shooter thing- i had 2 and nothing got past halfway- maybe you could improve on that. I also think there should have been more missile slots, and maybe you could have even control something. However, i was quite fond of the idea of turrets.

The game was too easy- maybe you could have (like in crimson war), you gain a small bit of money for killing and you have a base rate that can be increased. A small thing is that there should have been a MUTE button for the music.

I think that the idea of the 'kill all enemies' was quite good, but maybe, you could choose a 'hit' area. The enemy should also have been harder and i think it would have been much better if we got to see the super soldier from the enemiy (or maybe it was invincible- idk...)

Otherwise, your game was fantastic.
PS: Add cheats

"i like it..."

submission: Imprisoned Ball 2 PRO

date: November 4, 2007

well atleast sort of...

i like the basic idea where you dodge the other balls etc. I think your game would be a lot better if you turned it into a game so that after every level, you can get the option to buy speed and maybe even an upgrade of guns to shoot the red dots etc. and maybe something like: "you must collect all the purple balls" etc.

it becomes better as things speed up... but at the start... it really is boring... the music was a good choice

one last thing, what were the passwords?

Score: 10

"Amazing... purely amazing..."

submission: Neo-Bender SE

date: November 1, 2007

That was amazing- both the detail, sound, animation, length, EVERYTHING... i don't know how you can draw so well but it was amazing... the only thing you could put is a scene selector and a play/pause/rewind button... :-)

Score: 10

"FACT: Speed travels at 769 mph"

submission: Speed of Sound

date: October 21, 2007

Sorry for my horrid title... I really couldn't think of much else...

i thought your flash was very good overall, hence getting a 10... (i rarely give 10s nowadays) it's quality in some parts was amazing. However, in 2 or 3 parts, it was really poor. The 3 bad parts were:

1) The start with the person near the building (i know I'm pedantic)
It wasn't a good intro (no offence to whoever did it), one part is the grass, lines in grass look sloppy.

2) The plane (after the black and white connection bit)
It really does remind me of the recycle advert [in the UK]. (again, no offence to whoever did it) The plane looks like some cans of different sizes stuck together.

Except for that it was excellent, I'm amazed by how you did the sky and space. I liked the ideas of the plane flying away. And I KNOW that the person that did the person near the building CAN do it as shown in the bit after the plane.

Your choice of music was really good, and I liked the way you did it... eg. the piano etc, You really utilized some effects in flash, thus making it excellent. If you improved on the things I have listed, it would be a very good submission (though it already is). One small thing, I think there could be a scene selector and a menu (play and pause)

Good Job :)

"Good Work"

submission: GCSE Animation

date: October 21, 2007

That was really good... this is one of those presentations that makes a rubbish product look good...

you presented your product quite well, but maybe you could show off its features or put it in say, a house and blur everything out except the fan... I also didnt see the fan moving... I also thought it was slightly short... As you didnt show off that many features, there wasn't that WOW! factor

Im sure you'll get a good mark for this but you should make it longer and show more features (ie a state of the art air cleaner) But, you may have had a maximum length... (I don't know since I never did DT for GCSE)

Otherwise, it was really good
