"Lol"

submission: Tom & the Afro-Ninja Sigs

date: August 7, 2008

That's actually pretty amusing, the sig creation at the start of this on the preloader was a good idea for those who want one. Though I am a little disappointed by the lack of letters you allow, it only goes up to 5 on the first set so I couldn't put "Little" in it, raise it to 6, lol. Anyway, the designs on that where good although lacked pink hair.

The preloader dress up thing aside, the actual flash was also pretty good, although I'm not keen on how you didn't give them teeth in the mouth movement, I really think that would have looked better. The graphics and animation to this are pretty good as well as some amusing jokes to this, some not so funny to me but eh. The voice acting and audio was done very well here, good work overall.

"Okay"

submission: Newgrounds: A History

date: August 5, 2008

Not really anything special in terms of looks of this, I think it would have been much better if you had used screenshots of the year you where talking about insted of using a modern one, kind of gives the wrong impression, also I would say that you missed out the part of the major redesign in 2007 which was a huge part of Newgrounds.

There is so much more information you could put into this, a lot that is left out I think, quite a lot has happend on the site. As well as Ross leaving again this year, so yeah, missing quite a bit. But some decent info there and the narration was good, just need to improve on the visual content and add a bit more history, even catagorise it if you could.

"Good Game"

submission: Beauty Resort

date: August 5, 2008

I thought this was a pretty good game for much of the time I played it, the artwork on this was very good and everything, which is nice to see here. Though the further you got in this, the more annoying it got with customers wanting to use something that was in use then getting angry, maybe it would be good to add some forms of entertainment or more than one of the same item.

Other than that though, I thought everything here was pretty good, everything ran smooth for me and it's not a hard game to learn, infact I picked much of it up without reading the instructions to it, lol. So overall I would say this was a pretty good game, just got a bit tedious after a while.

"Strange"

submission: blek koffi

date: August 5, 2008

Well that was certainly very diffrent as well as strange, really didn't look like it had a whole lot of point to it that is to be said, but it did in a strange way have some kind of plot to it. Everything was good here, though the changes in art style where some what odd, still good though, all of the art and animation in this was very well do I thought and very good colours, lol.

I thought it started off pretty normal till it started to zoom in on the coffee, that was where I think it all went strange, but still very good with that, a very intresting plot all the way through this and the ending was also very good. Nice audio, I liked the track at the main part of this, it was nice, rest of the sound was good and fitting too, very good job overall.

"Pretty Neat"

submission: Do you have a waffle

date: August 3, 2008

Well I thought the singing for this was done pretty well and a lot of the animation in this was good but some of it seemed to be slow so I wasn't too keen on that because it looked kind of laggy. Other than the slow parts though, the animation seemed very good and the artwork was also very well done for much of this which is great.

The lyrics to the song really came together pretty well I thought, kind of amusing for much part, as well as fitting in with the animation very well. Quality of the audio was good and it looped very well. Nice work overall on this, only think I didn't like was the slower parts, nice job.

"Alright"

submission: Abusive Review Guide 2

date: July 30, 2008

I still think this is somewhat lacking though, I don't know I mean you have plenty of information and it's good to see you are talking about whistling submissions and how to. Still not too keen on all the text though and the red font doesn't work too well with the orange background. The audio is fine, which is great to have and all, as well as a mute button.

You added a quiz to this which is good but one major problem with this is that the questions aren't based on the information in the flash. I would suggest basing questions on the content of the flash, but it's good the way it seems to have been done with a try again method. Although still somewhat simple, a scoring system and such would be decent.

Not sure what more you could really add to this, a more entertaining way to present the main information would be a decent idea. I mean the quiz is a simple way to get information across but surly you can think of some clever way to get the main talking parts across. Try some wacky animation some time with some way of bringing points in.

"Okay"

submission: Abusive Review Guide

date: July 28, 2008

You have quite a bit of information in this, which is good and everything to help people judge what is an abusive review and then work out what isn't, it's just a shame this is all text, for myself I find chunks of text hard to read after a while. I would suggest throwing some images in there, even just a background image or design, just to give something else to look at while reading.

The audio was fine, no problems with that, but a mute button would have been good to have. The buttons worked fine going back and forth between pages, so again, nothing wrong with that. The actual content was decent enough to get an idea, though one other thing you could do is expand on the examples, like giving real examples as oppose to a brife summary.

I would also suggest putting a game in this, like a short little quiz or something, just to see if the viewer has lernt anything from it as well as giving them something else to do after reading. But that's entirly your choice, maybe you'll use those in future if you do another.

"Okay"

submission: Ruptonia Trailer

date: July 25, 2008

Well your drawings could use some work, the needless head movments seem kind of pointless too, you don't really need to animate that, just looks kind of silly to me. Some of the drawings look okay, others do need some work, but none of them really look disgustingly bad, so yeah. The story to this seems okay but you do need to find a way to explain who the enemy is to the viewer I think.

The sound effects are pretty good, the voice acting is somewhat clear but could do with more work to give more charator to the soldiors. Also for the interactive part, which was a good idea, I only found what to click by pressing tab, you might want to make that a little easier to find, also make the retry part go to that scene, lol. Otherwise, pretty decent work, just needs a few improvments.

"Okay"

submission: Hay Wars

date: July 25, 2008

It seems to be kind of odd in a way, there doesn't seem to be too much point shown in the whole thing, no real build up or anything, some opening diolog between the two people being filmed would have been good to see and not really starting right into shooting. The shooting animation is decent and does seem to look like it's coming from the guns which is good.

The ending is probably the funniest part about this I have to say, much of the rest just seems more like a silly video, so I'm not really so keen on those parts, they where kind of lacking in my view. But otherwise, everything else here seemed to be fine, just need to expand the idea a little more I think.

"Alright"

submission: Jim Day 08

date: July 25, 2008

I think this was done pretty well, the loose hands seemed to come in handy with this flash, it seems to work with the fridge joke, that was kind of amusing I must say. The graphics here are much better than some of your older works which is good although some things still need work like the door and not using as many gradients, lol. Otherwise pretty good work on that part.

The voice acting I thought was actually done pretty well, especilly if you did the falling noises without actually falling, lol. So good work on that, there where some pretty amusing parts to this, nothing that was really a real laugh but still fun to watch and everything seemed to be thought out pretty well.

5/5
