Little-Rena's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Abuse Or Not!]

Alright

It's not too bad although the music was a little repetative, a mute button would be good to have and the right click menu made this really easy, lol, you should really have that fixed even though you said you know about it. The log in name was good and worked but didn't really do much other than showing it, some easter eggs or something would be nice.

There is so much that could have been done here, it really seemed very simple, like just buttons with "gotoAndStop(x);" commands, so eh. Could really do with expanding that, like scores and such. Anyway, the amount of reviews was good but randomising them would be better and when you get one wrong, you go to the start?

Overall though, it is very lacking in replay value and other nifty features, kind of something you would play once, but keep working at it.

[Story maker beta]

Okay

Well to start I have to say that there is no need for the two play buttons, just have one, it keeps things easier and a skip button for the intro would be nice since it takes up quite a bit of time. The menu was okay, though pretty simple, it had a nice background but could do with some better looking buttons.

The actually story making part, well it wasn't looking to nice, the text boxs had a horrible gradient, try using a grey to another shade of grey if anything, because the one you used doesn't fit in too well. And the button for the story, eh, keep it simple but smooth, because it doesn't fit with the theme to well. Also, just one story doesn't offer too much replay value in my opinion, could make verious stories just for more fun and such, not a bad start though.

[Defend Level 60]

Intresting

I didn't like how the menu took a while to load, that was kind of silly, if you have the animation going and the buttons working at the same time, that would have been good. Though the instructions where quite simple to follow and had a back button too, which was nice, so points for the instructions, lol.

As for the gameplay, well it was okay and the graphics are very newgroundish, would have been better if you drew them but still good all the same. Though the game itself does get a little repetative and kind of hard on the hand after a while, some power ups like sheilds or a turret would be nice here and would make it a little easier. I isn't hard to learn which is a good thing about this game, but I do think it could do with a little more.

Objection responds:

Well, frankly, my drawing abilities are not much better than a 6-year-old's.
I might consider your thing about shields, but I don't really know what Newgrounds icon(s) could be used as turrets.

[Halloween Squid]

Alright

This was a pretty simple game to play which is nice because it means it isn't to hard to learn how to play. The menu here was nice and the istructions where okay, though I would suggest putting in some images so people can see how to play in someway. The graphics here where pretty good and the sound was also good and fitting with this flash.

I didn't have a problem with the controls or much with this flash to be honest, everything seemed to be pretty neat. Although finding the sweats was a little annoying at times, maybe a radar would have improved this a little so you could locate them better, still pretty good overall :)

[The Windows Quiz (Part 1)]

Alright

Well for a quiz it is alright, a range of questions that are diffrent from each other, not sure how hard it would be to have come up with them but they where pretty good. Although there are quite a few things to improve on here, the first is the filesize, would have been nice if it wasn't some big, need to export at lower settings there.

The buttons could be better too, I mean you could have a button for the letter, so you would click A if that was your answer, the way it was layed out here made that pretty hard to work out at first. Another point is the way it looks, it does its job but it isn't very attractive to look at, add a nice consistant background, borders around pictures keeping them the same size and nice looking answers with a good looking button.

Hopefully you can take this advice for future quizs, obviously not for number two since you have already submitted that, but just in future. The questions are good though.

im putting the finishing touches on my studio nightbird quiznow... so ill apply some of those tips to that

[Shades ShootOut]

Okay

It's a pretty simple game here, it's not bad but then it's not that intresting either, you need to put more than just simple shooting in this, maybe some blood and some score to go with everything, it would make it more intresting. As well as being attacked back and haveing helth or a counter which tells you how long you took then you could have high scores.

The drawings for the enemies are good although they could do with a little more animation to them, the backgrounds, well I don't really like the fact that you used photos, it would have been better if you drew your own backgrounds and everything.

Overall, you have a good base idea here, I just really think you need to expand a little more in terms of gameplay and looks in some cases, but not too bad, keep working at it :)

[Bubblez]

Lacking

This flash is pretty lacking, it works fine as a game and it's not hard to learn, so I can say that the game itself is alright, though a bit repetative after a while and could do with a few power ups or more difficult opponents as the game goes on.

From the looks of everything else, it's not very nice, the backgrounds are photos when really you should draw your own just to show off what you can do. The menu isn't very nice looking, you could draw the background and make some real buttons with text on and a font that fits in better than that script style font.

But overall, if this is one of your first games, then it's pretty decent, you can still improve, just work on looks and don't use photos for backgrounds, it makes it look very fake. But keep working at it :)

[New to Newgrounds (Beta)]

Little Information

This is layed out pretty well to be honest and the music is good, nice buttons and text in good boxs although some buttons where aligned a little weird, but anyway. The content itself isn't anything new and it's in the FAQ too, these flash have been over done and the idea isn't new either, as well as this feeling more like a summary rather than being a key information point.

You could have included so much more, such as reviews and the audio portal as well as verious functions in the accout options, submision rules, whistle levels and so forth, yet a lot of things where missed out or not explaied very well. Granted this is better than your first attempt which is good but I really think you need more work on the information.

Sorry, keep practicing and working with flash though.

[GameTeam Pool]

Not very good

The looks of this are good and it has a nice looking menu but it really lacks a lot in terms of the game. Your comments say the gameplay is realistic, it is actually far from it, whenever there is a shot for the computer, it will nearly always pot the ball, it never makes a mistake other than hitting your ball first.

That is the main weakness of this, making it very dull, a difficulty setting would be nice and so would a play versus player mode. The power bar is good though, easy to adjust and the graphics are good. But that's about it, as a game, this is pretty bad and about as fun as watching paint dry.

Good luck with future games though or even a modified version of this to make it a little less impossible.
