[The Sketcher]

A good challenging game.

I remember playing Wario Ware and Mario Party games that were similar to this, but this one had much more variety. The animation and controls were very smooth, that made it much more fun to play. You get an exciting vibe when playing it, mainly because of the upbeat music and fun images you can trace. The spiral level on easy mode was probably the most difficult picture I had. I entertained from beginning to end.

The only thing I didn't like was that some of the levels were fairly repetitive. Just making the lines change the direction that they point in really didn't add that much of a challenge. Aside from that, I thought the game was consistantly entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. Keep working on these party games, they are a blast to play. Keep up the great work!

[Inquisitive Dave]

Really fun adventure.

You have my kind of humor, and that is a great way to be entertained when playing a game. The graphics were nice and the controls were smooth. It took me forever to beat the wizard on the last level, but I thought it was a ceative way to end it. I like the random captions that you can see when you hit space by an object, most of the captions were so random I couldn't help but laugh. Good job all around.

After getting two of the slices, revisiting the same paths over again got to be really repetitive. It just seemed like it was the same mission each time to retrieve the key slices. Don't get me wrong, this game was great, but I could throroughly enjoy it because of the repeated themes and missions. Aside from that, I did find this game to be highly amusing. Keep up the great work!

[Apollo - Turnabout Mute]

Excellently made.

This is definately one of the best Apollo Justice tributes I have seen. I beat it luckily on my first try. All the presses and presentations were logical and really made you think. You really do get that feeling that you're actually playing one of the Apollo Justice games. It had everything from the appropriate sound effects to the recurring characters. Great job on this.

I wasn't really annoyed by the cliffhanger, but I thought there was way too much talking going on after you present you you think the murderer is. You only have one more press and then it seemed like nonstop blabbering. It would have been much better if you could have pressed more often or object to another false testimony. Anyway, I really enjoyed this. I'll recommend it to the Phoenix Wrong collection. Keep up the great work!

[Marblet]

Highly addictive.

I definately slammed my keyboard a couple times out of frustration, but I still thought this was a fun game. The animation and concept were nice. I didn't get that far, but it definately takes a few tries to get the hang of it. I'll try to get farther later on, it was an enjoyable game.

I didn't like how the controls changed depending on perspective. This type of game has also been done before, so it seemed like it lacked some sorts of creativity. I still got a cheap thrill from the game though. Keep up the good work, I found this game to be pretty amusing.

[Fervor]

Not overly impressing.

I am somewhat dissapointed to see this game you've made. Simply bringing the use of a stopwatch to the internet and letting people see who can stay on the longest does not seem like much of a game to me. I've viewed your other work which is very well organized and fun to play. After letting this online stopwatch run on my computer for a couple of minutes, I realized this game had no value.

The setup to the game made it look promising, vibrant colors and sounds, but after that it all went downhill. Even the simple button clicking games keep you entertained for the majority of the time spent playing. Those games have a funny message that changes as time passes by, you could have at least had something enjoyable such as pictures displayed in the game.

Once again, this was inferior to your other work. I hope to see improvement from this game in your next submission. Keep up the good work!

K-Guare responds:

The game is a joke. :]
But thank you for your compliments, and criticism.

[Polygonal Fury]

Fun for hours.

I love taking the first shot of every round. I get a thrill out of watching each of they polgons vanquish each other one by one. This was a very creative game with smooth controls and animation. Thanks for giving the tips in the instructions too, they helped a bundle. I lost somewhere in the medium levels, but I'm sure I'll come back and play this game again.

This was spectacular for your first game, I'm highly impressed. I like how it required strategy but a lso a great deal of luck. These chain reaction games are always a blast and yours is one of the best I've played. Keep up the excellent work!

[Errors '09]

Decently made.

This a pretty clever collection of error messages. I love whenever you go to the Vista screen and it always gives you one choice, I thought that was very creative. Good job for creating so many types of desktops to choose from, that must have taken a long time to complete. Plus the start up music gave it a realistic feeling to it. Good job all around.

One problem I had was that it seemed like some of the messages had been done in previous error flashes, mainly the dime a dozen Bill Gates jokes. I understand that the purpose of the flash was to show error messages, but being able to click around on the desktop could have lightened the mood. Simply reading messae over again is pretty boring.

Aside from those two flaws I saw, I thought this was pretty good errors parody flash. Keep up the good work!

AntoArts-Admin responds:

Yeah, I believe more error games would do it.

Quote from my comments:
"Many new errors never seen before, but many classics here too!"

So, I've chosen to have some classics in this flash too ;)

[Pilgrimage]

Had its highs and lows.

Any author can make a run of the mill Mario game and submit it to this site and gain success from it. That's basically what I thought it was. Granted, the lower resolution of pixelation as the game continued on was creative, but the simple and trial and error method made the game seem boring. The artwork was decent and the medals were something to make it a tad more enjoyable.

The abstraction concept is a good idea for a game, but I think you added to the wrong game. A basic Mario-like game doesn't really fit the purpose that you stated within the artist's statement box in the game. You could've have really taken the concept to the next level by making it into an adventure game with all sorts of missions, therefore mixing the abstraction with more difficulty. I just felt this was the wrong genre of game to tie the abstraction idea into.

I've seen both of your work, and this was far from what you normally submit. It was entertaining for a while, but the repeated bore of jumping onto enemies made the game lack. The slight creativty, concept, and artwork were all that benefitted you for the game. Hope to see other amusing submissions from you guys in the future, keep up the good work.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

I'm curious as to what you think the artist statement says

[NG Flagging Guide 2]

Very helpful.

Thanks for creating this guide, it should really benefit the other users who need some reviewing help ever since Rage's thread was closed. It took me two tries until I perfectly finished the quiz. The review art was something I was curious about as well, thanks for covering it. Overall, you did a very good job compiling much needed information, kudos on that.

I found it funny how you put several jokes within the flash. i liked when you spoke about not linking to other sites, but you put your own link in there, that was funny. I also enjoyed how you rated the whistles on their style, I got a good laugh out of that. The music was decent too. Is there a certain collection you would like this to be suggested to? It really needs to be seen by other user so we can keep the site safe and clean. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Little-Renastair responds:

I can't think of a collection, anyway, I'm glad you liked it and noticed the jokes, as well as the one with the link, didn't think anyone would spot it, lol.

[Plumet]

A good timekiller.

I was playing this game for a good while, it is very entertaining. I thought the controls were smooth and the animation was great. I like the characters you can unlock, I played as the ninja most of the time. I found it essential to do the barrel roll as the platforms got faster, great game.

I found the game to be enjoyable, but the fun is definately limited. The quickly moving platforms are a nice challenge, but the game gets quite repetitive. I know it is similar to Falldown, but it could use some new features. The other characters were a nice addition, but it wasn't enough.

I got about 20000 points, I'll try to get a higher score later. You should try to get medals for the game, that should definately increase the popularity. Keep up the great work!
