23450's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Smart bomb]

very simple, very good.

The concept is very simple, but i have to say i did have fun playing it. The graphics were well done, except for the actuall ground, but i understand you had no choice but to make it simple, because of its large size. its a great idea but i think you need to make another with more gameplay in it. maybe make the missile go much faster. but that would create problems ofcourse, going to fast, but maybe you could add a radar that gave you a look of the terrain ahead of you. that way you could go faster, and if your god, use your radar to see whats ahead and dodge it.

well, thats my idea. good luck.

grade A job

i dont give people 10's on reviews very often, only when it really is deserving. And this is way beyond deserving. It damn well demands it!

Graphics were friggin great, script job was great, and as you said before, the music fits perfecly and makes the whole thing 1000X better. And im almost sure i heard you say you were going to put in foot prints, what hapened to that?

i was playing for a good 20 minutes, which is more then usual. im deafinantly stuck...which is always nice to have a challenging game, but i have to say i would have played alot longer if i was not stuck. I will deafinantly come back and play it again, i intend on beating it.

good job, and good luck with your future projects.

The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

We're probably going to write up a quick guide to the game and put it on our site - we didn't want to do one right away, that'd be too easy ;)

As for footprints, it would have been nice but I didn't want to push Flash any further!

[Toss.]

simple, but good

idea was simple, enigne was simple, but man, it turned out great. The graphics were very well refined, i found them very easy to look at. Script job was well done, i seen no glitches. I normally have larger reviews, having alot of bad things to say, but i cant say i have much bad to say about this at all. good luck in the future.

TrueDarkness responds:

Thanks a lot man, means a lot =)
I'm glad you didn't find anything wrong with this... that wrong anyway.. =p

[The Tutorial Collab '06]

very fucking good.

so far, score wise, i think it might be a little underrated. but, maybe not. hard to tell. well, good things:

-Looked fucking B-E-A-UIFUL. I loved the interface. The colours, the setup, everything about it. Transitions were good, colours were easy on the eyes, everything very well done.

-Covered a good amount of subjects.

-Music was well chosen

Poblems:

-It seemed as if the art or animation part of flash was more neglected then the actionscript portion of it all. i think this was done because AS tutorials are just plain easier to make then animation tutorials. You dont need screenshots, you dont need to take the time to make good examples, and there is only ever 1 way to do something. unlike animation where there is large variety of techniques to get the same effect, and pretty much an unlimited amount of animation subjects.

-ok, i rarely ever look at flash tutorials anymore. Im passed that point. What i do look at is photoshop and, and if its there, a swift3D tutorial. Like the Ultimate Tutorial, your sections on these programs were sadly done. Well, not badly done so much lacking in content. I really see no point in having a swift tutorial section like you had, might as well have left it out. As well, there was hardly any photoshop. i would have loved to have alot more on PS, i love reading PS tuts. Im very much still in a learning stage of the program. If you had a larger section for that, then i would have easily gave this a 10 instead of 9.

-Fonts. they were small and hard to read. colours were good, and the filters over the letters did seem to help, but that fact that they were so small in parts made it unbearable to read. More pages, larger fonts next time.

So overall very well done. These tutorials are never big enough it seems, but covered enough to help a few people out im sure. Well done, congrats to all.hope this review helped a little anyway.

Depredation responds:

Great, loads to improve on there :). Thank s for the very helpful review, this'll come in handy for the colab '07. Thanks 23450 :).

[Orb]

very well done

very good. graphics were slightly above simple, and they looked very refined and well done. the only problem i seen with it was it was to hard distinguish the walls from the ground. i often hit the wall thinking it was ground. mainly because it was at a slight angle. i think mybe it would have worked vetter if it was completely over view.

[Parachute Retrospect]

good

i dont know...it was well made i geuss, it just erks me on how insanely simple of a game it is. yes, i noticed it said mini game, and thats exacly what it is, but i really wasn't exited to play it nor impressed by anything durring the game. with fairly surface level gameplay and graphics that could have had a little more attention, its still a deacent game. but with mini games you really want to catch some sort of exitement in a short period of time. This just does not deliver in that aspect.

overall a bit of a stinker, but deacintly done non the less.

jmtb02 responds:

Yeah, minigames tend to not be as fulfilling. Simple gameplay and graphics were the basic idea, and I couldn't say it was anymore than that.

Although your review wasn't positive, I felt it was extremely helpful, and I thank you for writing it. See you around the Flash forum :).

[Batter Up!]

good enough, not to bad i geuss.

Fairly deacent game i geuss. The only majow flaw is that he bats way to damn slow. its like he bunts every time. maybe a bit more gameplay would help as well, just hitting space over and over gets a little repetative at times. Overall well done, keep it up.

[South Park Soundboard]

One big thing wrong

I ony like sound boards when the sounds are short. Like "fuck", "shit" "what the fudge". I dont like to listen to an entire joke or conversation after hitting the button. Hit the button, start the sound, end it 1-3 seconds later, then let me click the next one. None of this this sitting and listening to it for 10-20 seconds. And if its a good short one, i will play it over and over, as it will be funny hearing it over and over again in a short period of time. A entire joke is not fun to hear over and over...

So yah, next time, please follow what i said.

[Geisha 3D]

lame

Im not going to shower you with a bunch of BS on how bad it is, you already know its a shitty submission. But, the graphics in this are very simular, correction, the same to another game i seen a good while ago. I cant remember if it was a submission or a beta, but im pretty confident you stole the graphics. Either that or your the same guy, which i cant see.

[RPS-25]

Nice one

Its a pretty simple idea, a little too simple really, but you really did go about it in a good way. I would have liked more gameplay in it, not to sure how you would inporperate any more, but im sure there is something you could do that will make it more then just, well...rock paper sissors. But, you did well with what was here. Smooth and well done. Goood job on that front.

Dave responds:

I kow a lot of folks will play this game as a standalone, but I almost feel like it's more useful as a tool for a referee to use for keeping score during a live match (i.e. with real people, real hands, and [hopefully] real beer). At the very least, this Flash version is useful for teaching you how to play the game live, where it's going to be much more fun. The best responses I've gotten this past year have been from people who've played this game in public and gotten strange stares from passers-by.
