Fro's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[What an awesome Dress up]

It's about time.

Comments before actual review - It's about time that I actually reviewed this. I used it as an example in one of my blogs for so long and never actually got to reviewing it. >.<

Animation / Graphics - It was nice to see a little bit of animation in your dress up game. That is something that is missing from most games like that. Maybe you could add a couple other animated things next time you make a dress up game. Also, the drawings were done pretty good. Not the best I have ever seen, but again pretty good.

Story - There really isn't much of a story. It's just your generic dress-up game. It does look like you were going for more of the heavy metal style here. The controls were also very easy to use since all they were was click your mouse and drag.

Audio - Heavy metal alright man! I recommend putting some other choices of songs on there too with a menu so people can select from different songs. Audio is always a big plus when making a dress up game. It really adds to the overall quality.

Overall - Not too bad. It's a pretty good especially for a first time dress up game. I recommend you make another one, or maybe update this one with some of the effects and things that I mentioned. I'm sure the score of this flash would go up a little, or your next one would have a higher score. I will also recommend it to the dress up collection.

[Madness Short 4 - M136]

Hey there.

(Honest score on review because it came through the RRC)

Animation/Graphics - I don't want to sound like I'm just repeating people here, but it's the only thing that I can really think of to improve on is exactly what Bezman was talking about. The animation was just a tad slow and a little skippy. It could of been much smoother. When the blood was coming out it just didn't look like blood. Try and make it look a little bit more like the blood on the madness animations. Just doing this part would increase the rating on my review by quite a bit.

Story - Almost starts off like the flash that I wrote for you. ;) So it looks like you have been practicing and you are getting much better at animating. It's only a matter of time before you get pretty good at it so keep up the good work. I can't comment on how short it was because you were just making a short one on purpose, but I hope if you ever get to our flash that you can make it so the choices are more of the style like how to choose which way to kill the bad guys and which direction to go, etc.. I thought when the bullets hit the wall and stuff that they should of created bullet holes instead of bouncing off and such.

Audio - Again, I understand that you did this in a hurry, but it really needed some background music let alone some sound effects. The addition of this would of also increased the rating of my review by quite a bit.

Overall - You still have quite a way to go, but everyone starts from somewhere and it looks like your starting off in the right direction so keep up the good work and I hope you improve next time around.

Thanks Corky, you really helped! Your review showed me that just because it's a short, doesn't mean I have to be quick about making it! Actually yeah, please don't give away the script, I hope to get really good soon and make it in time for the next Mandess Day! Please re-send it to me if you can and I'll save it on my desktop as it is stuck in my PM box :(!

I've also learned zooming and scrolling (V CAM).

Thanks for the tips about the bullet holes and other, I'll use it!

PM me sometime too :) THANKS FOR GIVING ME A REAL REVIEW CORKS ;)

[Bloons Tower Defense 3]

It's about time that I review this.

Because I've played it for about a week straight now because it's fun as shit. :D

Animation/Graphics - As playing your first two tower defense games time after time I can see that your animation and graphics have increased by a lot! They aren't as rough as the first couple and overall are pretty good. I don't think you could do too much more to make them better in this game.

Story - The only thing that I didn't like about this was that you couldn't change the quality of the submission. When I got to level 60 and 61 on a game it moved very slowly and it kind of made me upset that everything was moving that slow. That's something you should really think about in future games. A nice couple new towers and items to choice from here, which make the game very fun and new. Perhaps we get another tower or two in the next game if there is one? The new upgrades is what made this so fun though. More upgrades on the next one too? That would be awesome. Other then that you had a nice selection of maps and everything else was perfectly fine.

Audio - A nice selection of audio and sound effects, but I did notice that sometimes levels didn't make popping noises and things like the missile launcher didn't make any noise at all. I can see where the noise might get annoying if they were there since they shot so fast and everything, but it was kind of weird not having the noise of them.

Overall - A very fun game that I spent a lot of time playing in the last couple of weeks. It's a lot of fun and I added it as my favorite game here on newgrounds. If you make a new one and it's even better then this then I'm sure that will become my new favorite game. :D

[Daily Life]

Very nice game.

Just a warning before my review I couldn't really play the game too long so my review is of just what I saw at first glance and a couple of trials. I will probably come back to the submission sometime when I have more time to play it and check the entire thing out.

Animation/Graphics - The drawings were very nicely done and the animation that was there was also very nicely done. I couldn't see anything wrong with it, but the only way I can see to improve it would be to add more actual animation. There was a lot of clicking and stuff and just pictures, but no real animation for us to see except for a couple of things.

Story - A good game. I always enjoyed games like this actually. It's something good to play when you feel like playing a game, but want to relax at the same time. Everything seemed to be perfectly find here. Just like any other RPG life game really, which I usually tend to enjoy.

Audio - The audio was a nice selection. Maybe next time add some more sound effects or maybe even add some voices on the flash submission to make it even better in terms of audio.

Overall - A decent RPG game, which would be fun to play if you have some time on your hands and if you just want to relax.

[Madness Regent]

GREAT JOB GUYS!!!

Animation/Graphics - You guys did a great job on all of the animation and graphics. The game play was very smooth an there wasn't anything wrong with the animation or graphics throughout the entire flash. There could be a couple of things like where the character jumps and a part of him goes through the roof of where he goes through the wall a little bit, but they were so minimal in number that it doesn't really effect the game at all.

Story - A great game. I died right after shooting the speakers off next to the clown, but I'm going to play it again because it was fun as hell. I need to see this game to the end! I wonder how long it is. Maybe something like health or powerups could of been added, but still a very fun game nevertheless without them.

Audio - Great sound effects and great Madness music playing in the background. I give props for you guys hitting it right on the nose.

Overall - A great game, which in my opinion is a lot more fun the the Madness Interactive game. That game was fun don't get me wrong, but I just had a lot more fun playing this one.

[Mario's Awesome Calc.]

OMG.

OMFG. That was absolutely amazing! Level 1 was pretty easy because... well everyone can do simple addition and subtraction, but then it started getting into multiplication and division on level 2 and I had a hard time getting Mario to the flag until I reached deep down into my memory banks and remembered that 4x4 was 16 BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE 16 TO DRIVE A 4x4! I never thought that I would use that in my life, but I guess I needed it.

Level 3 was terrible because I don't really remember percents that well.. but I managed to get the mushroom and I grew twice my size. I remembered that growing twice your size was doubling something so it was increasing by 100 percent! That obviously meant that I was 200 percent was my new size. WOO.

Level 4 though... I couldn't beat level 4.. WHY??? I kept trying and trying to divide by 0, but every time I tried a gumba would come out of no where and kill me. Oh well... Other then the last level, which seems impossible for some reason, this game was great.

[GTFTN1 - Scanlines]

Decent.

Animation/Graphics - Very simple, but you did have some actual animation in your tutorial when the text was kind of typed out in the very beginning. There wasn't any more animation after that though. The colors were good not only because they went well together, but also because the combination of colors made it very easy to read the text. Other then that there isn't anything else to comment on.

Story - The information was very good, but I still probably couldn't and won't use it myself, so it wasn't personally helpful. I'm assuming for people who use photoshop received some good information and hopefully it helped them. The text was organized well and the size was great to read. The pictures in your examples were of good quality and helped people who needed to see it be done visually.

Audio - Well, I see in your author comments that you were having trouble with the audio. I can't help you personally with that, but I'm sure if you have any flash questions then they would be able to answer it in the flash portal. This may be an audio problem, but I think it's more of a flash related problem. Things that could of been done if you weren't having problems could of been stuff like a simple background song, or maybe a selection of songs to use. You could go into even more detail like adding sound effects to when you click on the next or back button. I think that it would of been pretty cool if there was a typing sound effect, like a typewriter in the beginning when the text appeared across the screen.

Overall - A good tutorial, which I wouldn't be able to use myself, but hopefully others can. I hope you fix your audio problems and good luck on any future submissions.

thanks for the review, I think i know how to handle the music now too

[Dress Our King!]

Very good.

Honestly one of the better dress up games that I have seen. A couple of things that could of been improved on probably, but I will try to address those opinions in my review.

Animation/Graphics - All of the pictures were great and all of the backgrounds were fine. I found that the colors were all great also. I noticed you did have a little bit of animation, but I really like it when dress up games have items and other animation. I think that if you would of had a couple more pieces animated that it would of helped your score and your rating here just a little bit.

Story - You had a lot of stuff to choose from. 231 as you state in your author comments, but I didn't count them so I'm just going to trust you on this. You also had a lot of backgrounds, but I wasn't too impressed with the backgrounds to be honest. The first couple were nice, but after that they were just colors. I think that if you would of had more backgrounds with things in the backgrounds then it would of also helped your rating and score. I think a background that had a clock army in the background or something like that would of been pretty cool.

Audio - All of the audio was perfectly fine. Great job here. You always see those dress up games that only have one song too choose from, but you managed to get 8 songs on here without really making the file size too big. Good job everywhere here.

Overall - A great dress up game. A couple of things could of been done to improve it, but other then that it was better then most. Also, congrats on getting your game into the Clock Day 2008 collection.

Thanks for the review :)

[How to get Deity]

Hmm

Not bad. Overdone though. Hell I've helped make two of them myself as you know and I've seen about 5 or so of these done on newgrounds.

Animation/Graphics - The text was easy to read and the colors were user friendly. I think that you hit everything here pretty well. The only thing that I can think about is a couple of times I saw typos or places where the words and text didn't line up the best.

Story - The information itself was pretty good, but you really didn't cover everything. You want to try and cover everything when making a flash about abusive reviews because leaving just one thing out could make people lose their whistle status or miss out on some things.

Audio - The audio was a nice selection. I was hoping for maybe a menu with a couple of selections to choose from though. And maybe a mute button. If there was one sorry, but I didn't notice it.

Overall, the more of these out there the better in my opinion because the more people will learn.

* Side note - Do people find this review as helpful, useless, or abusive?

[Collector]

Hmm.

Animation/Graphics - I really didn't personally enjoy the graphics too much. While there wasn't too much wrong in the sense of neatness or anything, but at the same time it was really really boring looking itself. Boring colors and boring shapes. The same old same old. This needs something to brighten it up. Some exciting colors, backgrounds, shapes, etc.. It's really just too simple and overused graphics.

Story - The game was nice, in fact it's actually fun with two people, but with one person it's really boring. It's fun that you had a survival mode, but maybe you need to add more to the survival mode. Like awards for reaching a certain amount of time, etc.. The two player system was kind of fun though. I give you props on that one.

Audio - The audio was a nice selection. Good job on that. I think the only thing that could make it any better in this case would maybe add some sound effects in when you win and/or don't reach a goal in the survival mode. ( I know you don't have goals in the survival mode, but it's also something I think would be pretty good to add) Something such as the crowd going, "Ahhhhhh mannn" or anything else related when you lost and vice versa have the crowd cheering when you won.

Overall, a game that could use a lot of improvement, but if you did work on it a bit then you could probably have a really decent game here. Also, authors response please. I put a lot of thought into this review. >.<
