Fro's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piggy123s NG guide]

Not bad.

Animation/Graphics - This could really increase your score if you worked on this. Just the basic layout could of been much better. Things could of been a lot neater too like the arrows on the bottom of the page were very rough. Just working on this part itself could personally bring my rating up from 5 to 7.

Story - A guide is always a nice thing to have on newgrounds and I think the more the better just in case someone who doesn't understand some things. The wording could of been better in some parts. Is English your first language? If not then I totally understand, but if it is then you need to work on your grammar. Lastly, it kind of ended randomly. I think you need some sort of The End message like, "This is the end of my guide, thank you for watching".

Audio - Decent audio. I don't think that it really needs anything changed on it so good job here.

Overall, work on it just a little bit and this will turn into a better guide.

Ok thanks

[Newgrounds Flagging Guide]

Pretty good.

Animation/Graphics - The buttons were nice the way they were organized and the entire flash was pretty well organized itself. And if I may say so myself you are a great drawer. >.< I know this has been stated in other reviews, but you could of had better color combinations because I almost went cross eyed reading your buttons and text. It seems like none of use can find the good background to these guides.

Story - This was made around the same time that mine was made. WE MUST BE COPYING EACH OTHER. Haha, joking of course. The more of these that are out there the better so there is a better chance of people who don't understand the whistle system to see it. Just like the one I help make you left out some important stuff, but you also had a lot of other stuff covered that most guides don't.

Audio - Decent audio. I really didn't like it though since it got really boring and old fast. I think guides like this should have a menu where you can select different songs to listen to.

Overall, a good guide that will help people out.

Little-Rena responds:

Well thanks, I'd been meaning to write my own guide for a while just often very lazy to do so, just wanted to try it, lol. I know about the text but my fla went blank when I opened it again so I couldn't change anything and the decomiler made the images all rubbish so ehh.

Audio menu is okay but then, it could bring the filesize way up, which isn't what I wanted, so I had a mute button to it, lol.

[Abusive Review Guide]

You hit everything perfect.

Animation/Graphics - When I review a slides show or other game that's formatted the same way like this then I look for a couple of things to comment about. The first thing was how the colors and the background looked and everything looked perfectly fine to me in that category. I also look to see if the text is the right size just in case someone might have a hard time reading it and this also seemed fine to me. Lastly, I look to see how organized and neat all of the columns and text is and everything again seemed perfectly fine.

Story - Not only was your information here very helpful, but it was also very accurate. I could see this really helping a lot of people out so that's why I plan on linking it to my abusive review guide, which I appreciate you linking here in your flash. You also had a lot of information here and the back buttons were a very nice addition just in case someone wanted to go back through without exiting the flash and replaying it. And just to let everyone know, you can't find all of this stuff written down in the FAQ, so it's very helpful for people who don't understand.

Audio - It's great that you had a song playing on the flash. A song can really add to a flash like this and even greatly improve the score and rating.

Overall, a very good flash that is very helpful. Maybe you need to make more flashes like this. Need any help then just send me a PM. You know I'm always there for help.

Wow, that's a hell of a review! My whole goal was to present information in a way that was accessible to people new to Newgrounds, as well as provide information which both elaborates on and compliments what is in the FAQ.

Thanks for an awesome review!

[Newgrounds Info: Extended]

Pretty good!

Animation / Graphics - When I review a game that is made up of menus like this one I usually look at the neatness and how you organized everything in terms of the columns and text. Everything here seemed to be in order and looked pretty good. Pretty good overall here.

Story - Good, the only thing I can see that you could add would be to add a small explanation of how many experience points that are needed to get too each level, how many experience points you needed to get to the old levels, how many B/P points you need to get to get the new B/P, and how many you would of needed to get the old B/P.

Audio - A decent song, but it gets old quite fast. Maybe in future submissions like this include a music menu so the listener can choose what they want.

Overall, a pretty good helpful flash that could use a little bit of improvement.

Phil responds:

I think after reading this I am going to add the exp needed to level up and the bp one too if it fits.
For the audio I think a selection may take up too much space but I think I could choose an audio track thats loops less.
Anyway thanks for the helpful review.

And try to get Review Mod if ya can :3

[MSC 3]

Really awesome!

Animation / Graphics - I think it's one of the best dress up/ scene creator games that I have ever seen. It's awesome that you made all of these things from scratch. They were all nicely drawn. Good job on all of it.

Story - You had an amazing amount of objects to choose from. Over 200 objects and 25 backgrounds is pretty impressive for one game. You had a lot of controls, which weren't the easiest to remember, but it wasn't hard to go back and see what they were because you only had to push the enter button.

Audio - Nice music there in the backgrounds. Not too much more to say about the audio.

Overall, one of the best scene creators that I have seen on newgrounds and in opinion it deserves a higher score then it has. Good job.

Thanks for your review, glad you enjoyed it!

[Abe Simpson Soundboard]

Not bad.

Animation / Graphics - No animation involved, maybe something small could of been added to give the movie some animation. Everything else was fine though, it looked like everything was in order and neat. All the colors were fine too.

Story - A very nice selection of things to choose from. Something that I like to see from soundboards are simple one liners or ones with one word too. The reason being so I can prank phone call someone or something of the sort.

Audio - Nice music and nice lines form Abe. Everything ran smoothly and sounded good. Maybe it would of been nice if you would of made one audio stop when you clicked another one.

Overall, a decent sound board. Good job and good luck on future ones.

[Button Finder 2]

Not bad.

Animation / Graphics - Maybe it would of been nice to have a different picture to each level or even some actual animation somewhere. Sorry if you did have some actual animation somewhere, but I actually didn't get past many levels.

Story - The game is a decent idea. Kind of slow game play and can get a little boring, but good for someone that likes puzzle games. I found it to be hard even on easy, but I really don't have much patience to be honest.

Audio - Great audio here. The song you chose was a great match for the game. You could of added some kind of rewarding noise when you click correctly on the button on the screen, but that wouldn't be needed really.

Overall, a good game for people who like puzzles, but can be boring for some one who likes the more action type games.

EmmDubya responds:

Thanks for the helpful review. There was some animation, every 5 levels. I made 45 levels and I think no one have gotten past 25 of them! Most people didn't like the music, I was going to change it but the .Fla has broken :(

[Awesome Sprite Tutorial]

Good tutorial.

Animation / Graphics - Something that I look for when rating a flash that is primarily text is how well the text is organized and how neat it looks. Since nobody wants to be reading something that is all over the place or unpleasing to the eye. Your text was neat, organized, and easy to read. Another thing was that you added pictures a long with your explanation, and even added some basic animation in the pictures them selves.

Story - Each step and section seemed to be very carefully thought out and each section went into a lot of detail. Not only was there a lot of information, but it was clear to people who might be new to flash. I know when I tried making sprites that something like this really would of helped, since I find it more helpful then other tutorials that I have seen on newgrounds.

Audio - I never like listening to an empty flash. I rather have some sound effects whether it's just a noise when clicking the next and back button to some basic background music to keep the watcher from falling a sleep or getting bored.

Overall, pretty good tutorial with a lot of information.

Glad you found it a good tutorial. Yea the next one is getting some music xD

[BeerBubblePop]

Pretty cool game.

Animation / Graphics - Pretty decent graphics and animation here. The drawings were decent and the animation ran pretty smooth. I found the explosions to be a little touchy and it seemed like they reached a little bitter farther then the animation itself.

Story - I thought your explanation on how to play the game was done well, both in your author comments and on the flash. Decent idea for a game. It's been done before, but it's not over done or anything. I know it was your first time with actionscript, but maybe you could of added levels and after getting a set amount of points you could advance to the next level.

Audio - The popping noise was pretty cool, the only thing that I can suggest here is too have some sort of music playing in the background or even a selection of songs that a person can choose from while playing.

Overall, not too bad of a game, but if you were willing to add something to it such as levels, upgrades, or more audio I think that you could get a much better score.

DeadPoolkun responds:

thanks for the advice, I've added some music since other people mentioned that,
but I think I'm going to work on something new instead of adding levels and stuff to this one.

[Drawing tutorial: Chickz]

Pretty good.

Animation / Graphics - I can't really say anything about the animation since most tutorials don't include animation. I can say that the drawing and detail was very well done. There was much detail put into the drawing.

Story - You had a great explanation for every single step and every single page. You also had a great introduction. The button at the end which starts the flash over was a nice addition too simplify the flash instead of closing it out and starting over.

Audio - Sometimes audio can really help the rating of a flash. You could do a couple of things here. You could add a song or a menu where people can select different songs to their own liking or you could even add sound affects when you click on the next and back button.

Overall, a very good detailed drawing tutorial. Good job.

Thanks for your detailed and well thought out review, I tried finding some sort of script to initiate/stop music but I just couldn't. I'm a bad coder, haha.
