Fro's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Your New Friend]

D: Let's see here.

Comments before actual review - I didn't really like this one too much. D: It was kind of just.. overused I think.

Animation/Graphics - Same thing with the animation again. There really wasn't any, but oh well. I can't think of any that you could of added to a submission like this. The text was in much better order and was better organized than your last flash submission. Colors used were alright and generally easy to see.

Story - Ouch.. some were funny, but again some weren't at all. There really weren't as many as it said there were because I went through the whole thing and started back at the beginning and I couldn't really find any secrets that were mentioned at all.

Audio - OH NO. You needed some audio man. Whether it is audio from someone clicking the button or maybe just as simple as some background music. That would of helped your submission out a little bit. :/

Overall - It really needed some audio and it wasn't too fun or exciting. It needed just a little something to make it funny.

:D Let's see here.

Comments before actual review - Hm, looks like you have a couple more flashes than I thought. Are we still going to work on some more together?

Animation/Graphics - Pretty much no animation at all. I think that you should of added something like animated pee for the pee one or something of the sort. At least some sort of animation to give us more then a slide show effect type of flash. Also, I think you should of worked just a tad on the layout. Sometimes the text wasn't in a orderly fashion and it just seemed very unorganized.

Story - You did have a lot of items to select from, even if I didn't really understand what most of them had to do with anything. Some things were funny and yet something I really didn't get at all. :/ While still somethings weren't funny and didn't really have anything to make sense. Even though you did have quite a few to select from perhaps you could of added more.

Audio - Good audio here. It reminded me of something that you would hear at a mall when shopping or something that you would see on television on one those shows where they are selling things.

Overall - This does need a little bit more added to it and just a little bit more humor added to it. I also think that it shouldn't really be considered an interactive movie because there were only a few things that you clicked.

O: Yeah, watch out for version two...

[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.

Murad136 responds:

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 ;)

[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?

[Errors '08]

I guess everything was fine.

Animation/Graphics - Very simple and basic. Not really any animations, but all of the picture were pretty clear and the text was easy to read. Everything also seemed to be a nice and neat lay out. Maybe add some real animation next time like a mouse moving and trying to click the No button when it's not there or something.

Story - Meh, I didn't find any of the errors very funny at all, but some of them I guess I can relate too. Overall, I didn't find the content too amusing or entertaining though.There needs to be something to keep watchers tuned in to the game.

Audio - Good audio on every part except for when you clicked on a computer type. You could of had music playing in those parts too because without the music it got kind of boring. Also, maybe add a couple of error sound effects when you click the next error button.

Overall, it needs a lot of work in my opinion to become an entertaining flash. Keep up the hard work though.

I will... Thanks for your review!

[The Halo Quiz!]

Needs some work.

Animation/Graphics - The drawings were sort of rough, but it kind of gave it that homemade feeling. If that was the look that you were going for then I wouldn't change the graphics really, but if you wanted to go for more of the professional type quiz then I would think that you should make it so the buttons are neater and that the text was a bit neater and more organized. Also, there needs to be some sort of background just instead of the white background for each slide. Adding just a small amount of animation to a quiz will give you a much better score also.

Story - Decent questions. I have never played Halo before and have never even watched someone else play it, but I'm guessing the questions were good. I made it to about question six before guessing one wrong and then I decided that I saw enough to review your quiz properly.

Audio - Needs audio. Just a simple background song would of also improved your score and rating. You could go deeper into the audio by adding a selection of several different songs or even a sound effect when getting a question wrong or right.

Overall, the quiz needs some work, but if you keep working on it then it should be better. Good luck in the future.

Thanks :P Always good to have some good reviewers come by....

[Bouncy Bob]

Awesome game.

You know what? Flashes like these make me write short reviews because there isn't anything wrong with them. >:(

Animation/Graphics - Awesome animation. Really no room for improvement at all in my opinion.

Story - Original? No maybe not, but it didn't matter because it was fun to play. You had explanations in all the right spots and they were all very easy to understand. The controls were very simple and simple controls on a game like this can make it a lot of fun.

Audio - Awesome again. Great music and great boing sound effects that you had. I can't find anything wrong with this either.

Overall, a fun game, which deserves a bit more attention then it has received. Good job.

I know the feeling :). It's hard to write a review about a game where is nothing wrong. I guess I'm just too used to pointing out the faults :). I need to work on that :). Thanks for your review.
