[Our Newgrounds quiz]

Ample Research, Little Payoff.

I give you the points for a very well written newgrounds Quiz. By that, I mean that the questions were well researched. And that's just a guess really, but I'd assume you went and looked for the actual answers.

The ranking system is bugged, as in the person didn't think his math out really, and seemed to just blindsight a rank system that sounded right. As I'm well aware that it was already mentioned, it's important, because there isn't anything else in this flash worth mentioning. Sure you had those "passwords" that I didn't bother to find, since 30 seconds per question is nowhere near ample time to go searching.

It's also apparent that someone spends a little too much time on the BBS, as quite a few of the questions would only be known to the extremely nerdy people who live there. Besides that, there's quite a few things I thought would be put into such a quiz, such as Pico and Tankmen references. Sure, they mentioned Jerry Jackson and Salad Fingers, but neither of those are that "big" on Newgrounds. There were some flashes that I didn't even recognize on there, making me feel left out, but then remembering that I've heard of almost everything on Newgrounds that was ever really notable, and I have an excellent memory.

If anything else, Quiz games are awful. I gave you a 4 out of 10 for having the effort of compiling this vast of (selective) knowledge on Newgrounds.

Well, It's about Newgrounds and it's a quiz so it isn't my problem you doesn't like 'em!

[Draw-Play 3]

Failure recks in a good game

I've played 1 and 2, and I have to say that this isn't your best work. Well, no that's a lie. This is about average of your programming work in this department. You don't always seem to get down a few aspects, and considering how this is a very simple genre of actionscript, I have to say that it wasn't up to par.

One of your biggest weaknesses is that the drawing itself is faulty. You had it right the first time. Now, it's choppy, and VERY unreliable near NO DRAW areas, as they don't always want to keep inside their little box, and decide to explore other regions as well. For many parts of the game, I had to simply jump to avoid the lasers and the bullets so I could wait for draw to work again. And it wasn't a quality thing either, because it happens on all qualities. I eventually passed the level when I tried another path, but that's crap that I have to think of how YOU did it, because of faulty coding. Unless you did that on purpose, and if that is the case, you take away what is supposed to be in this game: ORIGINALITY. The game was founded on HOW CAN U SOLV UT? and by taking that away you ruin the experience.

A platformer shouldn't be reliant on how well its coded, its supposed to be about if you can just make that jump. And if you did that, then you'd no longer have an original idea.

The level design was alright, and the Level Editor was a pretty dumb addon IMO, since the game itself, if it got a Player Pack, would be lessened as a bunch of idiots make impossible platform stages and claim they, their friend, and you of course, can complete them, leaving all of us in the shadows of failure.

It was a fun game, but I really think you could have done better.

EggysGames responds:

Why would I include impossible lvls in a level pack though :P

[Shotgun]

Buggy, but I didn't see any lag

Level 0 was impossible to get past. The jump was too high. Also, there was no audio sound, other than music. And the Shotgun, which seems to be the focus of the game, does nothing. You can't kill those balls of light. You need to make the objective clear, and fix up the other stuff mentioned above.

Also, NEVER EVER EVER SUBMIT SOMETHING WHEN YOU ONLY WORKED ON IT FOR 35 MINUTES! Especially a game. Games take longer to make than regular flash, therefore more work is required. A flash should be worked on for at least an hour or so before you decide to submit it. A game, I'd say around an hour and a half. And that's the limit. Not that when you work on something for an hour, its all good. That should be your limit.

Also, if you decide to resubmit, then test your game. You may notice some of the errors yourself.

lolghurt responds:

1 actually, it takes a few shots 2 kill teh enemies.
2 there are other sound effects
3 did u even w8 for the game to load?

[NO MERCY.]

A Simple Game, Yes.

I found myself slightly amused with this game's wide variety of mayhem. Yet, if you work on it some more, this could be a great game.

Oh no! I gave him criticism ! Ima gonna get punched in the face! AHHH! Nah, nah, I'm just messing with you man. Good job with this. Hope you get over your thing with criticism.

UniqueName responds:

A fair review from a totall asshole, how about that.
I kno the game's a bit pointless, i wouldnt even call it a game. but i have been experimenting with flash buttons recently, and i wanted to make something like this.
I'll be making a proper shooter after i fix a few of the glitches

I made this is less than 2 days, so i really dont care for critism on it,
My last game took me a long time to make, so I got REAL pissed off with dickheads trying to put it down.

Thanx for the review anyway... ass... only messin man lol

[Super Smash Bros Quiz]

Some of your facts arent straight...

Zelda doesnt turn into a guy. That's Sheik, Link's guide. Zelda needed to hide from Ganondorf, else she would be captive. So she changes her outfit to hide her appearence. One of the surprising twists of Orcarina of Time. They meant for the surprise to be that Sheik was Zelda, but for most, it was that it wasn't a dude. There are many jokes about it.

Also, I dunno if I got the question wrong or right, but in Brawl, I answered 15 for the second question, and the screen went black. You may have a linking error. Fix it up, and this game will kick some major ass.

Hasaxan92 responds:

I like what you write but poeple call him a guy and he is supose to be a guy but it turned out that he still was a womman.

[Binary Translator]

Cool

Its not supposed to be entertaining, Phoenom. Or well, minorly entertaining. If it went both ways, ud just type random shit that wont mean anything.

Its neat how u did that. Ur IQ must be like a billion. OR A COMPUTER!!!

(Dun dun DUN!!)

Nelson15 responds:

It's 142.

[Bush Vs. Kerry Punchout]

...

it was fun the first time, but then it stopped working... i could pick sides, but then i couldnt punch. and get a new productions logo thing. cuz this one takes WAY too long

Vloklor responds:

lolz but i like my opening logo xD, but yea the keys wont work it u have caps lock on. if its not the caps lock then its my glitchy coding haha

[Newgrounds Rumble]

This game kicked ass!

I'm normally a dark, but this game was awsm! Like a Super Smash Bros. NG style. But in versus mode with 4 players, the graphics got a little crummy on my computer. And for the record, Alien Homid isn't a NG original character.

NegativeONE responds:

Alien Hominid is easily one of the most NG-centric characters in existence. The console game came years after the original Flash version, which was born right here.
