[Log runner]

I liked it.

This was impressive for your first game. I immediately noticed the resemblance to Frogger when I started playing, but I like how you changed the theme to a lumberjack. The animation was good, I like the way you animated the lumberjack and the way you created the water. Plus that simple song that played in the beginning will be stuck in my head all day.

I like how you have to take the food and drinks the lumberjack collects back to land after collecting them, that was another way you put your own creative spin on this game. The controls were easy to learn too, good job on that. Congratulations again for having your first game be so addicting and such a success. Just some more originality and less redundancy could make you even better. Keep up the good work!

Awesome comment.
Thank you.

[drawing an eye]

Could use some work.

It started out somewhat unimpressively since there was no preloader. Plus trying to find some file decompressors would make the song less file heavy and the flash would load much quicker. The tutorial was quite basic, but it did teach me some things that I wasn't aware of. I never though about adding a white spot in the upper corrider of the eye, that's a good tip for upcoming artists.

You are definately helping out users by creating this, but you may want to expand the topic of drawing eyes. For example, how to draw a scared eye or a closed eye. Or drawing eyes or a girl and eyes of a guy. If you broaden the subject you should gain more recognition and more fans. I'll recommend this to the flash tutorials collection. Keep up the good work!

tnx,the song really was a bad idea,i should put a shorter song in it

[Insantatarium]

It was challenging, but fun to play.

I thought the concept of this game was very creative. Santa being trapped inside a dark room gave me a few chuckles. It htought the animation was good, but the movement seemed somewhat laggy like and delayed when you were attempting to open the first lock. I thought the controls were easy to learn, which is a bonus for a novice gamer like myself. It really expands your mind, the water level really blew me away.

My favorite thing about the game was how you played the Christmas music in Santa's death room, plus you heard the screams coming from the other rooms. That definately gave it a creepy touch to the game. I also thought the tile "Insantatarium" was highly original and funny. The only part I had to use a walkthrough on was when Santa reached into his pocket, that was the last thing I would of guessed. A great adventure game in my opinion. Keep up the excellent work.

[Reincarnation: ROA]

Another good game.

I preferred the first one a little more, but this was still a fun game to play. I like all the voice talents you collaborated with to make this game possible. As the demon said himself, the maze part was very tedious, I appreciate you allowing us to skip that part. This was more difficult than the first one in my opinion, mainly because you have to click objects while people are interacting with other things. That definately made it a lot of fun.

I like the environments that you created on Earth and in Hell, all the characters and creatures in those locations were animated perfectly and look awesome. The animation and sounds were laggy in some parts, but I still enjoyed the game. Keep us updated on the third chapter of this series, I hope it's as good as the past episodes. Keep up the great work!

[Reincarnation: ADDO]

This game was deliciously evil.

Adventure games are my favorite genre, and this was very entertaining. The animation was superb, I think your style is truly creative. The voice acting was good, but the lip sync was off at times which got pretty annoying. It also seemed like the scene when the man was gettting out of bed was extremely laggy. Aside from that, this game is perfect. I really enjoyed playing.

The storyline was really original, and the way you made the characters look really suited there personality. I wish I would have played this when it was originally released, I'm sure it would have gotten me into the Halloween spirit. Good choice on the music too, it fit the mood of the flash perfectly. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to playing more games in this series.

[Ultimate Mario Quiz v.2]

I preferred the first one.

I was pretty unimpressed that you had the same questions as the first edition of the game. It just makes the Mario quiz concept seem so unoriginal. Adding two or three new questions doesn't mean the flash deserves it's own file. Granted, the bonus ending was really entertaining, but that seemed like it was the only thing that made this form of the quiz different from the last.

The programming and everything was top notch, and the pictures were enjoyable too. Was the Lee character from Paper Mario? I thought I had recognized him from before. Anyway, it was a decent quiz that was toppled with an unoriginal concept. Anyway, congratulations on the award you won. Keep up the nice work.

[Ultimate Mario Game Quiz]

I beat the quiz.

Not a bad quiz on your part. The questions were fairly easy, I only missed two questions and they were both on hard difficulty. I enjoyed seeing the pictures that followed after each question, I laughed how some of them were completely irrelevant to the question that was being asked. I learned a lot of stuff from the game too. I guessed that Mario was older than Luigi and got it correct, but that is a cool fact to know.

The Mario theme became pretty annoying after a while, adding other songs the playlist would definately benefit the player and keep them interested. Plus answering questions after each other became somewhat tedious, but it was a quiz after all. Anyway, I'll go play the second edition of the quiz later, i hope it was as good as this. Keep up the nice work.

[Scribble!]

A fun game to play.

For a game so simple in concept, this was highly addicting. Granted, I was only a level one scribbler, but I still played it numerous times. I thought my connect the dot skills would pass over to this game, but apparently they did not, haha. The colors and animation were a pleasure to the eyes, and the controls were very simple. Easy to learn and fun to play, jsut the way I like it.

The most challenging level in my opinion was the one that was like a shuttle run, where you go left, right, left, right. It was an easy level to learn, but a huge time killer. The music you included was nice too, good choice. Overall, I was really impressed by your game, it was timeless fun. I hope to see more minigames like this from you in the future, keep up the good work!

[Canabalt]

Pretty fun.

It's nice to see that game so simple as this can be so incredibly addicting. I like the black and white animations too, it gave the game a dark tone. I'm guessing the world is coming to an end and the main character must run to survive? I'm only assuming this since whenever you die you sometimes see what looks like robots in the background.

I'm digging the song you used in the game. The controls were easy to learn and I did not notice in glitches in there. The only reason I took off points was because it gets fairly repetitive, but I like how it also requires memorization. Anyway, congrats on your trophy for this game and keep up the good work!

[Ollie's Dance Experience]

Awesome in every way.

It's not often you find a game that is addicting beyond belief and keeps you laughing from beginning to end. This game really came through in both those categories. The animation was unique and thought the music was great too. I liked hearing The Twist and Canned Heat, plus the song on level three sounded really cool. Great job on this you two, it was so much fun.

Just a note, sometimes on a few levels the music would start playing, then stop, then start playing again. That was the only glitch I encountered. I loved the titles you get after completing a level too. The special shopping cart level was probably my favorite. Overall, this game was very creative and hilarious. Keep up the excellent work!
