Dawnslayer's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Save ur Planet]

It was okay

I was entertained, which is always important. I'd recommend working on graphics a bit; gradients don't get you everywhere. Level 5 needs to be fixed; I shot everything that came in, then it was a very long nothing happening. A good start, though; keep working on it.

Lucy88 responds:

This glitch has been corrected

[Monoball]

Nice premise

But the Scripting needs serious work. I clicked "instructions" and got level 0, made it through level 1 and started over; and for that matter, it wasn't clear I was supposed to click and drag the ball. I'd suggest actually making the ball into a cursor object to improve the game. But it does have potential; it just needs finessing.

Aaron0710 responds:

Right, I've fixed it up now... and checked it from the site. The instructions work, as does the shiny new plot button.

[Spec. OPS sniper]

Too basic

Fair enough for a shooter, but there was really no skill involved. You weren't fighting a timer, nor moving targets, nor anyone trying to shoot you before you shot them. And buying ammo (and upgrades?) should really be saved for the end of a level, not while you're shooting. Graphics improvement would be a nice bonus. Work on it some more, and perhaps ask a few friends to test it for you and get their input before submitting it here.

iamrunegecko responds:

i will be adding moving targets, then re-submitting...

[Bubble Adventure]

Enjoyed it a lot

Good twist on the platformer. Sadly I can't find my way past level 2 (where's the star?), but it was definitely an interesting concept. 8/10.

51lver responds:

level two star is on the far far top right hand corner of the game

[Twins V2]

Not enough control

It was too easy to have to restart the level with a difference of one pixel between "I made it" and "crud." The thing moves too far in a single keystroke. However, I did like the concept a lot, and for that I give it a good score.

Kwing responds:

That's what I originally thought, but when I decreased the speed by ONLY ONE pixel per frame, it was way too slow. I could have had it go at a speed that wasn't a whole number, but I just said "screw it," because the enemies couldn't afford to move slower than they already were.

[Loo-e Leaf game]

Did not enjoy it

Generally one expects to see the rock actually hit the cat in order to lose a life. Furthermore, this is the type of game where wrap-around borders are NOT a good idea.

And what is it with people and that damn song?! It's hardly the best of Linkin Park, and after a while you get tired of hearing it. Different soundtrack, if you would.

PRELOADERS: http://www.newgrounds.com/downloads/

That's all I have to say. Good try, but it needs lots of work.

flightlesschickens responds:

those are as2 i need as3

[Flash Password Tutorial]

Oh, carpal tunnel!

I'm working with ActionScript 1, and can't afford to update my software, so this thing's not much use to me. But for those with AS2 programs, I can see this being helpful. (Hint to other viewers: you can copy and paste the code he gave you!) Good tutorial; 6/10.

PolutedFuse responds:

Sorry, I have to edit that..
I'm pretty sure AS2 and AS1 are prettymuch the same except for a few minor differences.. this tutorial should work with AS1 :)

[Find 3 Ways to Kill Him]

Top-notch song, low-caliber game

There was no preloader, there was no entertainment value in the gameplay--there was really no point to the game itself. And the song "Clubbed to Death" deserves far better than this.

Newgrounds GIVES you preloaders ( http://www.newgrounds.com/downloads/p reloaders/ ), generally useful for something 7 megs in size. Try "Beginner Flash Game Programming for Dummies" to learn ActionScript; it's been helping me out a lot on my project.

No, nothing this time, but keep working on it.

luckyesmiperro responds:

Hey i know the preloaders page one

[flash actionscript (easy)]

Okay then...

I thought it was funny that the button you made for the Button tutorial only worked if the mouse was right over the text--no hit area or anything.

If you're going to claim to be a reliable Flash teacher, make reliable Flash.

karionfabe responds:

i fix the button and made background colour. also added a preloader

[Newgrounds Helpful Guide]

Very useful; thank you

I'm not perfect, but I am coming to realize I could be better on NG than I am. I've posted a few reviews which are justifiably labeled useless, and it helps to know what constitutes a helpful review.

This is a very practical tool for us users, and I think it should be made available outside of the front page list. Very well done.

Sispri responds:

Ah, thank you for your kind words.
