Fro's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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 Sig Creator]

Well..

I was all excited to check this submission out, but it really wasn't anything too great.

Animation/Graphics - While nothing was wrong with the drawing or graphics, everything was way to simple. Nothing exciting really. I was hoping for some color choice or some pictures to choose from, but it only really had the text and a small icon. Wasn't anything like a sig.

Story - Like I said with the pictures. This needs a bunch of cool pictures to choose from, several cool backgrounds, different colors, many different fonts, etc.. The list could go on forever. The idea isn't too bad, but it is really lacking.

Audio - No audio at all? You could of really went into it with some sort of background music, maybe a menu to select several different songs. You could of even went into more depth by adding a sound effect when you clicked a button.

Overall, a decent idea, but it needs a hell of a lot of work to be good.

[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-Renastair 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.

[The ghost train]

Awesome.

Animation/Graphics - Great drawing, animation, backgrounds, color, etc.. I do have to admit that the animation was very simple most of the time, but it really didn't need to be anything great in the case of this game. Pretty good all around.

Story - You had a lot of background and a lot of information on everything. You also had a game that was pretty fun and yet at the same time it was a puzzle type game, which I find to be boring now and then.

Audio - This has to be by far my favorite part of your flash. Very good music, sound effects, and I really loved the scary/spooky noises that you used throughout your game. Great job here.

Overall, a pretty good game which might deserve a higher score then it has.

[BirdBallz]

I personally didn't like it.

Animation/Graphics - I couldn't complain or find anything wrong with the animation or graphics. They were all done pretty well and everything seemed to run smoothly together.

Story - This is really what I didn't like about the game. I know that it's hard to come up with an original game, but I've played sooo many games like this that it's hard to come by one that is any fun or exciting in anyway unless they add something really new to the table, which I didn't think this one did. The controls were easy to use, but I found that there were a lot of glitches in the game as a whole. Times where I would fall uncontrollable or even times where I would disappear in the game. I would then have to restart it. This made the game not so fun to play.

Audio - Something else that I can't complain too much if at all about. Good job all around here.

[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

[Best Friends Forever(Old)]

Pretty cool game!

Animation / Graphics - Great animation and drawing here. I felt that the drawing of the characters, objects, backgrounds, colors, etc.. were all done very well. I also found that the animation was very smooth. I didn't notice any flaw in the animation at all.

Story - A pretty good idea for a game. I've seen quite a few of these games in my life, so there is a little bit of an originality issue, but you still made it very good. I even remember playing games like this years back with a game with fleas instead of men that you used. I do find the title a bit awkward though.

Audio - You had a pretty good choice of audio for this submission. Also, the addition of the winning sound after you accomplished a level was a nice addition.

Overall, a pretty fun game that you did a really good job at.
