[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.

[Medieval Rampage]

Pretty entertaining game.

I like the concept for your game, there haven't been too many games I've played that have a medieval setting. I thought the animation and conrols were both very smooth. The upgrades were a nice addition to the game, they gave me a reason to keep coming back to play. The in-game achievements were fun missions to accomplish as well.

The only thing I disliked about the game was that it got repetitive after the first couple of waves. The new enemies every few levels were nice, but just the running and shooting didn't add much variety to the gameplay. Besides that, I found the game to be quite enjoyable.

I'm not trying to overanalyze this, but I have one question. If the enemies have the abilities to teleport and shoot fire, how can this be classified as "medieval'? It just struck me in the middle of the game, and I don't want to come off as mean when I sat that, I'm just curious about it. Anyway, keep up the great work!

xdragonx10 responds:

Thank you,

I realize the games gets fairly repetitive, the sequel will address this issue with more environments, enemy abilities, melee, spells, bombs, rage mode, leveling up, and more!

I'm guessing you haven't played too many medieval games then, a lot of them include the things you listed. The game is still set in a medieval type realm though.

[It's a Nice Day Today]

A good combination of gameplay and entertainment.

I found this whole piece to be clever. I love interactive movies and this flash was highly enjoyable. The animation was very good, the controls for the interactive parts were very smooth, and I thought the music you selected for it suited the theme well. I am also overly excited about the five points added to my medal score, yay!

The ony thing I disliked was how the interactive part had only one goal. I understand that the objective the flash was trying to get across is that you should go outside, but some more interactivity would make this flash much better. Aside from that, this movie was highly amusing.

I laughed at the sun's reation when the man closed the window on him, I keep trying to imitate the face but I can't seem to do it. Overall, I thought this flash was hilarious and very creative. Keep up the great work!

Wow, a polite, well thought out review. You don't see those much.

Thanks!

[Learn to Fly !]

Pretty good for your first game.

I was playing this game for thirty minutes, it is very addictive. I thought the controls were smooth and the animation was nice. I thought you chose the appropriate music, it suited the setting and theme of the game very well.

The one thing this game lacked was originality. I have seen several games like this such as Hedgehog Launch and Shopping Cart Hero. Even some of the upgrades were similar, but I still enjoyed the game nonetheless.

The achievements were a good addition to the game, you should talk to Tom about getting medals added to this game, it will surely get more recognition that way. Keep up the great work!

Lightbringer777 responds:

The lack of originality is intended though...

Being my first completed game I wanted to make "my version" of a game, to see how I could cut it. I plan on making a few not so original games again, exploring and learning along the way, before creating "games of my own".

[Apartment 13]

A good mystery to solve.

I took me two tries, but I finally captured the culprit. After the first playthrough, it became so obvious who commited the crime. I have a somewhat interest in forensic science, so I found this game to be pretty entertaining. The animation and controls were smooth as well.

As I said before, this was an amusing game. I would recommend making it longer though. It also seemed as if the autopsy point in the game did not have a real purpose. Just exploring the victim's house and the suspect's characteristics was not enough.

You have a good game here. I enjoy most mystery games, and this one was a fun one to play. I'll recommend this to the adventure game collection for you. Keep up the great work!

willcheng responds:

Thank you for taking the time to produce such a detailed review. We appreciate your comments and suggestions. As for recommending it for a collection - that's amazing!!!

[Bally]

Death is enjoyable in many ways.

This was a pretty silly game. I thought it was amusing how such an innocent looking ball would have death upon it in a matter of seconds. The animation was decent, and I thought the music was clever since the theme of the game is so dark. Like several other users said, the game just needs a few more buttons and then you will be in business. Keep up the great work!

kokonut10 responds:

Thanks, I will!

[In Utero]

Based on a true story, perhaps?

I'm guessing this was a shot for shot remake of how Tom Jr was conceived, haha. If not, I still thought this game was highly amusing. The animation and controls were smooth, and the concept for the game was utterly hilarious. The boss after the first level is incredibly difficult, I'm gonna have to work harder to get the Aborted medal. Overall, it was a fun game. Keep up the great work!

FetusFulp responds:

it's a true documentary.

i'd like to know what makes the boss so difficult - it's hard since i'm biased, as i've played it way too much already. i could understand the crumbles being a little hard to dodge, but you just have to look for the cues and know where to go and when:

1) stay just in front of his mouth, at his chin's level, where you can still get him with 4 bullets.
2) when his eyes go red, move up.
3) when he starts to pound the ground, move left
4) when he barfs, move down slightly from your spot.

the same principles apply when he goes into intense mode.

thanks, and good luck (:

[Newgrounds Pass 3]

Best in the series.

I found all of the Newgrounds Pass games to be entertaining, but this was the best by a long shot. I'm glad you added medals, they made the game even more enjoyable. The secret areas took a while to find, but it was worth it. I had to use a tutorial to get the Click, Click, Click achievement, it was definately worth it. I hope you are planning for a fourth addition to this series. Keep up the great work!

M4KBOT responds:

Thanks for you review! I'm not sure if I will make a 4th one or not, mainly because they take so long to make. However, I might to a Newgrounds Pass collab at some point, so watch out for that!

[Escape Pico's School]

Another great adventure in Pico's School.

This was probably my favorite game this Pico Day. My favorite genre of games is adventure, and this had style and humor packed into it, an instant win in my opinion. The medals were fun to achieve, and I thought the principal and the extra at the menu were hilarious. It's cool that you worked on this with your dad, I wish my dad knew programming, haha. Anyway, keep up the great work!

14hourlunchbreak responds:

Yeah, my dad is awesome at coding. I'm glad you liked our game. It's funny how many people disliked it because of what type of game it was. Glad you could appreciate it, unlike some people. ;)

[Da Pink Knight]

A good challenge.

It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I thought this game was pretty entertaining. The intro movie was a good setup to the game, the whole concept of it is pretty funny. The timing effect takes some practice to adjust to, but once you learn how to use it properly the game seems a lot easier. Keep up the great work!

MindChamber responds:

thank god you dont have to buy any worthless patches to enjoy our hard work?

Aye? Aye?? lol.
