Fro's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[CatBurgler]

Needs some work

Animation/Graphics - The drawings/pictures that you used were pretty good. The only thing that I can recommend to make this any better would be to add actual animation to the cat instead of just a moving picture. Perhaps something like an walking legs, etc...

The animation of the moving walls that you had could have been done just a little bit better. I think you should have drawn them a little off of the screen in addition to what you did draw so they looked like they were attached to something instead of just floating in the air.

The one wall in the first level I could go right through on the way back. This made it really easy. :p

Story/Content - The first level was pretty easy. I got through the first time without dying. The second level gave me a problem a couple of time, but I eventually figured it out and when I did it was also really easy. Perhaps adding a level where enemies follow you around or something like that. It needs to be a little harder in my opinion.

When I collected everything in the second level it just ended there. What was I suppose to do? I could just move around until I died.

Audio - I don't remember hearing any audio. I think that you could have added some nice background music and a sound effect when you succeeded/failed in a level or when you collected something.

Overall - It needs a couple of things worked out on it and needs to have much more added to it.

yes thank you for the review i did intend of doing many levels like this which i probaly should because of there simplicity but you are right but this was my first game i had ever made

[Willy Wonka Soundboard]

Good soundboard.

Animation/Graphics - The layout was done pretty well. I can't really think of anything else to add to this at all. There isn't much that you can do with the visuals of a soundboard anyway.

Story/Content - You had a lot of things to choose from, but to be honest when I think of a sound board I think of small sentences. Something like three to five words, give or take a couple of words. I think small phrases are much better than anything too long. The new pictures with the old sounds was sort of weird.

Audio - The voices sounded good and were pretty clear. Easy to understand and everything. Decent all around here.

Overall - A very decent soundboard that you have made here. I think the only thing that I recommend is shorting the phrases, but that may be a personal preference more than anything.

Frenzy responds:

Thanks for another review, and I agree with you on the old/new background thing. I would have used an old background if I could have found one, but I couldn't.

[Floor of Irritation]

Awesome job.

Animation/Graphics - This is a really high quality game that you have here. All of the animation was very smooth and drawings were well done. I understand you didn't draw anything more than squares, but everything about the game was good on the eyes. The color used, background, etc...

Story/Content - Not an original idea, but still a very fun game. I personally thought it was a little easy, but that's just me. The only level that I died more than two times on was level 5. I think that might be because it was the first "hard" or different level. After that I knew what to expect though.

I think you can really add to this game and add different shapes. That would bring a lot of different element to the game because trying to aviod a circle and triangle is obviously different from trying to advoid a square every time just because of the shape.

Something else that you may want to think about making for the game in the future is upgrades. Something like having a time for each level and the sooner they finished the level the more money they received. They could then by small upgrades like a shield that takes one hit before it disappears, speed upgrade, maybe a health upgrade so it takes more hits to kill you, etc...

Audio - I thought it was a great choice for audio here. Really fast pace and quick just like the game itself. I don't think it needs any sound effects, but if you do implement the money and store to the game you could add some money sounds and things like that. That's obviously completely up to you though.

Overall - A good game to play and perhaps if it had things like upgrades it could be a little better.

AntoArts-Admin responds:

I don't know if it would work any well with a store. It's a great idea, but I think that most of the upgrades would probably make the game too easy

[Yet Another Dress-Up]

Basic

Animation/Graphics - The drawings really need to be worked on. That's the biggest thing that's going to improve on your score of the flash. I recommend not only working a lot on your drawing skills here, but perhaps try adding some actual animated items. I know that most dress up games don't include animated objects, but I really think it adds to the quality of the flash when they have them.

Story/Content - Wow, what a good title because it was basically the same as any other beginner dress up game. Nothing too exciting, poor drawing, etc... I think the only way that dress up games get any attention anymore is if they are different in some way. If this means adding some animated things, doing a subject that hasn't been done before, etc... You should try something different out in the future.

I think you should also add backgrounds that the person playing can change to so they can find something interesting. Something like the different colors, snow, cave, forest, city, etc... Anything cool that would make it more visual.

Audio - Decent audio. I see that when you click the button twice the song plays twice, but a lot of dress up games and other games alike are like that. The choice of having more than one song was a nice part of the flash.

Overall - It's basically the generic dress up game.

Frenzy responds:

Yeah, this was basically my first attempt at a full body dress up game. I know it's not great but hey I tried.

[Interactive Drum Kit]

Decent job.

Animation/Graphics - There really wasn't any animation so perhaps in the future you could think about having the drums animate when you click on them. The drawings themselves weren't too bad, but could have been worked on a little better. Maybe simply adding background, color, and working on the drawing could have greatly improved the visuals of this flash a lot more also.

Story/Content - Nothing much here, but things you could add would be something like the drummer to the drums. That of course would add a little bit more animation, but I think it would add to the submission a lot. This could also open up a lot of things in the game like having the people be able to "dress" or just choose their drummer and then see them in action.

Audio - Of course the audio was perfectly fine. I think it sounded very good all around. Not too much more to say than that.

Overall - I think simply working on the visuals and adding a few things to the content of the flash like the drummer and little dress up section with the drummer could greatly increase the score of your flash.

Frenzy responds:

Watch out for the sequel (once I figure out the hotkeys actionscript!)

Thanks for the review.

[More Avoidance!]

Nothing too interesting.

Animation/Graphics - You had a lot of different colors and everything, but perhaps adding some other things like pictures of things and have them warp/stretch/etc... as you move the mouse certain ways. It was laggy on my computer, but if I turned it down to low quality and it was then perfectly fine. Overall the layout could have been just a little bit better quality.

Story/Content - Um... why? Ha, it really isn't too exciting to do or anything like that. Perhaps if it was a game like you had to get certain colors into certain areas like that then it wouldn't be too bad, but it really has no point. It's rather boring and isn't really too interesting to watch.

Audio - A decent choice for audio. Perhaps in the future you could make it so you could select from a menu what audio you wanted to listen to.

Overall - I just can't see a purpose to this flash. Isn't really entertaining or anything of the such. Perhaps just a good practice of the actionscript skills.

therealmoomoomoomoo responds:

OK, some good ideas there, ty for the review ;P!

[Punkin Shoot Reloaded]

Good improvements.

Animation/Graphics - Hmm, if my memory serves me right it wasn't too much different than your last version of this game. For the most part the graphics were perfectly fine. Perhaps a little bit mediocre, but there isn't much room for improvement with the style of game you were making in my opinion. For the most part things were pretty well organized and everything. The animation was also pretty smooth and I didn't have any troubles while shooting the objects or anything. The seemed to explode on time also.

Story/Content - Hmm, again this is where you improved from the last one. You added a bunch of things to shoot. I noticed that the store had two things and you couldn't buy the one thing. The other thing was a new gun and it doesn't really do anything does it? Also, you should be able to buy this gun unless you have the score for it. You can buy this gun at anytime, which means that if you don't have the score it will just subtract a little bit from you.

For some reason a couple of the objects in the instructions, descriptions, and in the background could be shot for points both positive and negative. I'm not sure if you meant to do that or not, but it's a nice little way of "cheating" to get your score higher.

I don't think I have too much to talk about on things that you could improve upon except for trying to master upgrades and trying to make it so you can actually lose the game by perhaps making it so if you don't get a certain score that you lose and you can't continue. If you did do this than obviously I didn't score low enough to find out. :P

Audio - The sound effects were alright. The background music was pretty fitting for the flash also. The voices were a nice addition, but perhaps making them a little bit clearer because at times I can't really understand what they are saying. They aren't that bad though. Perhaps adding some voice overs where the instructions are could add to the quality of the flash also.

Overall - I will give you a couple of bonus points because of your obvious improvement on the game from the last one that you made. Keep up the good work and good luck on future projects.

Lord-Of-Lazyness responds:

Yes unfortunately I did have trouble with mastering power ups, though the game turned out better then I hoped*after fixing it*. Naturally I missed a few bugs after a couple of hours of debugging. I completely forgot to put in the losing code, I focused on the last bit of game more(which I had done this throughout the game) it might have been better(this was done over a few months, naturally I thought of better ideas later thus the beginning is not as good). I used the voices from the original Punkin shoot(yes I fit my user name here, did not want make many more).

Thanks for the review.

[Our Newgrounds quiz]

Not too bad.

Animation/Graphics - Pretty good visuals for a quiz submission. You usually don't see too much animation with quizzes or the backgrounds are rather dull or boring. You managed to get away from the boring old stuff like that and made it easier on the eyes. I liked the timer and the timer animation with the tank too.

Story/Content - You had a lot of good questions and perhaps some bad questions. There are some things that I never heard of and I've been here for quite awhile. You do need questions like that though to make it more difficult so I'm not really complaining. There were some questions that I didn't even have to think about as I was either a part of some things or just knew them. A lot of things aren't really things that you should expect anyone to know really. I'm sure even Tom himself would have gotten a couple of these questions wrong. The ranking was a little forgiving in my opinion. I say I got well over half of the questions wrong the first time and probably a quarter of the questions wrong the second time around, but still got Newgrounds Admin. You would think that somebody that didn't even know half of the information wouldn't be an admin on newgrounds. :/ Perhaps ranks that are a little bit more stricter because it seems like it's extremely easy to get the best rank, which I'm assuming newgrounds admin is the best one.

Audio - Decent audio. There was good background music and the sound effects that you get when you get a question right or wrong was a nice addition. I always think that quizzes should use some sort of sound effects like that.

Overall - Some questions were good, some questions were hard, but some just seemed almost impossible to know unless you could do some research. I also didn't use the passwords or the pause button. :P

MarioFlashMovies responds:

Okay, so here's my respond:
First of all, thanks for review my Flash :)

Animation/Graphics - I with you.

Story/Content - I know most of you get admisitor, because it has a really big rang, and yes, I didn't wrote the questions, so please don't ask me :)

Audio - Thanks :)

Overall - About the questions - I know, even I when I programed it didn't knew by my self. About the password/pause: Nice dude :)
