"Nice game with some flaws"

submission: Balloone

date: April 22, 2009

I like the Same Game concept, and the fact that new ballons appear adds a nice challange. However it is not anything all that unique. What is worse is that the sounds in this game are horribly annoying.

Score: 3

"Not really useable"

submission: Step Brothers SB

date: April 22, 2009

The most common use of these sound boards is to use for prank calls. Unfortunately the sounds here do not work very well. The sounds are too long and don't have dialog that would at least keep a person on the line.

Also, while it is good that you added a button to stop the sound, you should make it so that every new sound will cut the previous sound playing.

Score: 10

"A nice Clock version of an old favorite"

submission: halloween clock game

date: October 10, 2006

This is one of those games that you have to click in the exact place within an inhuman amount of time. Thus, the only way you can win is by sheer memory and replaying religiously. As you would guess it can be as addicting as it is frustrating. It is really cool to show friends your awesome skills in this game after you master it, as you look like a mouse-clicking, kung-fu master.

Score: 9

"A flash that is sure to take off"

submission: Valhalla Knights

date: February 28, 2006

Seriously, this flash is no joke; it was so good I thought at every turn it was just going to be a teaser. But it was a full episode that was ended at a perfect moment.

Graphics: 9
The graphics have obviously been done by a skilled artist. The movements were fluid enough and a good amount of detail was put into the art. I think that the author should take some time softening up the images to make them look a bit more human. Also, it might help to slightly blur a fist or a weapon when it is being swung, it seems to make it much more cooler with little extra effort.

Style: 8
I like how the background story is going. Sure we all know it is going to become a save-the-world thing, but the introduction of the main character makes the story a bit more original. I have a feeling that her dad never died from just a bullet, but rather there was some more deliberate and more nefarious element at work.

The one thing that put me oof a bit was when he decided he was going to find answers. It was like "hey after 9 years of waiting and since I am probably fired, its adventure time!" There is two justifications to this he either was always looking for answers in his spare time, every day, or he just decided to do it now out of the blue. If it is the former, then why did the girl say "warm" all of a sudden as if this is the first time he is carrying the artifact along? If it was the latter, there needs to be better explanation as to why he decided to do this now. Saying that it was his memories that made him get off his ass, isn’t a good enough excuse, since he was probably thinking about this his whole life. I hope you refine the story in the next submission.

Sound: 8
The music synced very well with what was happening and was not intrusive. I particularly like the song that was playing in the beginning at the battle at Valhalla, it sounded like something from Nightwish.
The only problem I had was that the music wasn’t so captivating that it would be too memorable, but that is what you give up when you don’t want the music to intrude upon the other aspects of your flash. Thus, this point was not really that big of a deal.

Also I liked the voice acting, Ken's voice sounded cool. I hope all your characters voices are as well done.

Violence: 6
The fight scene looked amazing, but it is obvious that you took a few shortcuts. For instance you never seemed to actually show the fight, merely just the Valhalla Knight getting thrown back, you did this many times. It seemed at the end of the first segment, the knight used some kind of dramatic kamikaze-type attack. But you would think that if that person was that desperate, you could have shown a little more blood and a little more wear and tear upon that character. So that you viewer knows that she is gravely hurt and losing the battle.

Interactivity: 5
You have the standard buttons that on could make if they had half a brain and cared about the viewer. I really like that you made a skip button since the preloader animation was rather slow.

Since this was a movie, this score doesn’t really count much and you filled what is generally required in terms of interactivity of a movie. If you want to improve on this you might want to consider adding in scene selection and quality controls.

Humor: 5
I can see you tried to put a bit in without making the movie too long. I thought the twitchy movements of his angry boss to be a bit amusing. I am sure that you will put some more in other episodes, but for now you are just introducing the plot.

Overall: 9
This is good, really really good. I will be very saddened if you don’t continue with this series. Just work on the above things and I think that this series will become a total hit.

"Did you try out the game before you submitted it?"

submission: Mario's Adventure!

date: November 8, 2005

If you die, you will get a game over and start back at the beginning, regarless of the amount of extra lives you have. It seems you prematurly submitted this. Work on you flash before submitting it next time.

"A nice spine on cursor maze games"

submission: deleteplease

date: November 3, 2005

This was a pretty cool game. Unlike other cursor maze game things like water lever would rise or you would have to move along moving rocks flotig on moltin lava. I see good potential. However I noticed a glitch where if you just complete a leve and quickly move your mouse after you hear the level complete ding. You will end of failing that level, even though you already won.

Score: 1

"Trailers = Fail."

submission: Heaven and hell trailer

date: July 30, 2005

I want to see the whole flash,not your trailer. I hate when people makes these just so they can get two submission high scored. Many times they dont even really make the full flash, just a bunch of eye candy trailers.

To make it worst, your submission wasnt even that good. Bearly any animation, just a slideshow. I hope you work on it when your full flash is released.

Score: 8

"Rebel Burger serves of a tasty order of potential"

submission: Rebel Burger Ep.1

date: March 2, 2005

I have a really good feeling about this flash. It is a real breath of fresh air from all of the stick violence. I feel as there has been more character development in that single installment then in most flash series. The characters seem real and not shallow stereotypes or clichés. Lifepoint1 allowed the viewer a good insight to how the main character Jason Treemoore, thinks and feels did not make Jason so introverted and pained that even we viewers don’t know what he is thinking. There however does seem do be something on the protagonists mind, which opens the door to a deeper storyline without sounding too angst-filled and Emo.

The other characters are Steven, who I have already grown to like just because he was so deftly sly with his words, and Amanda who only said five words in this episode seems like she will be as interesting and deep as the main Jason. Even in this short submission, they are very lifelike.

The graphics are great especially how you are able to handle movement of the characters. The only problem with graphics I see is the body proportions may need a bit of polishing, but I am sure they will improve as the Lifepoint1's drawing style matures.

The music score went was calming and went very well with the mood. I really liked the voice acting and that even though the volume of the characters voices was perfect, the artist still created subtitles that are perfectly timed to the voice.

Rebel Burger oozes with potential; I am eager or a second helping.

Score: 7

"Great work from an up-and-comming artist."

submission: Catfight

date: January 26, 2005

This work is so great in its orginality. The animation was pretty good, and the song pacing with the animation was perfect.

Some things that could have been done better in the animation are when the cats are walking. The close-up shows the tails moving tenaciously but at the actual picture of the cats only the legs are walking. Cats can be hard to draw, but I feel that if you spent a slight bit more time on the walking scene it would look better.

This also leads to the most dissapointing part, the fight scene. You hyped it beatifully, I was really geting into it. I came to be expecting a huge elaborate display since you made the training as such, and even slowed down the point of contact.

However, when I seen that all I was getting was Loney Toons style fighting, it felt like Christmas was cancelled. I am sure you were trying to play on the cute theme by having a watered-down fight followed by a friendship over lunch at the end, but it just ended up letting me down.

Very last bit is that it kinda seemed like the movie cut off at the end. If you still have music left, try adding a bunch of credits to kill time or to fade the song out by lowering its volume.

Though, this may seem a bit over critical, I beleive that it is essential for you to grow as an artist.
Thank you for your wonderful submission.
