"Has potential, but needs work."

submission: Parkour Parkour Brooklyn

date: November 18, 2009

The control scheme has been done before, so it's not that original.

The animation was jerky and not fluid at all - the opposite of what parkour should be.
I think you should practice your animation skills a LOT before you make the whole thing.
Maybe this could be good, if you made your animation much more fluid.

The character design was bad, and didn't fit with the background.
To me, this game doesn't really manage to pull it off. It has some potential, but it needs some work (animation-wise) before it can mature into a full-blown platformer.

Maybe you should check out The Animator's Survival Kit, it's a great book.
Remember. Fluid animation.

"Stunning."

submission: Making A Piranha Plant

date: November 2, 2009

This is just fantastic.
It looks so lifelike. You must be an amazingly artistic and creative person, with tons of patience to pull that off.
It's great, and it's inspired me to try and make my own.
Thanks!

"Nah."

submission: Orions Spartans: Origins

date: October 1, 2009

Animation:
It would appear that the animation is done almost solely via tweens. It's too fast, and it looks jerky & cheap.

Graphics:
The graphics seem to be recycled in several areas, but other than that they're pretty decent. It's just a shame that they're let down by the half-assed animation.

Sound:
The music's trying to make the whole thing more epic than it actually is.
The voice acting is a tad cheesy, but I've heard worse.

Okay, so...
Origins? What is this? A rip off of X-Men: Origins?
To me, that shows unoriginality. Not only is it a rip off of a game series, it's also a rip off of a movie's name.
Oh, and even the name doesn't utilize correct grammar.

And, by the way, I enjoy playing the Halo games.
But this doesn't do them any justice.
For shame.

Poor job.
Try harder.

Score: 1

"Poor."

submission: Multi Tank Defense

date: September 28, 2009

Redundant gameplay.
Boring graphics.
Repetitive sounds, but no music.
Code is glitchy.

Spelling and grammar is awful.
ASAP means As Soon As Possible, and you used it more than once on the wrong occasion.

Try harder next time.

Score: 4

"Boring."

submission: Naruto: Ultimate Battle

date: September 12, 2009

Graphics:

Everything aside from the sprites was cheap and poorly done. Times New Roman? A white square filled with text in the preloader?
You can even see a watermark on the menu background from where you stole the image.
Basically you use sprites to cover your evident lack of talent. Poor show.
4/10

Gameplay:

Slow, boring, redundant, clunky... I'd much rather go and play a real Naruto console game.
4/10

Sound:

Acceptable.
6/10

Bugs and errors:
On the menu screen, when you click play, for a few seconds it shows the 3 extra characters and "Extreme" difficulty, almost as though it's on the next frame or something. Might not be a bug, but I think it is.
Other than that, I didn't notice many bugs.
6/10

Effort:

Seems like hardly any effort was made graphics-wise, however, the coding would probably take some time.
7/10

To be honest, only a relatively small amount of talent is required to make a game like this.
Infact, someone could google Naruto sprites, find these exact same ones, and make a game like this if they had a basic knowledge of coding.

I like the Naruto anime, but this really doesn't do it any justice.

4 / 10 (Not an average)
1 / 5

Score: 2

"Not bad, but some graphics are stolen."

submission: Castle Quest

date: August 29, 2009

First I want to say that many of the Character Screen icons are stolen from the Skill Icons in the free MMO "Maplestory".
For example, Stone skin is actually the icon for Power Guard.
Medusa Blade is Dragon Roar.
Siphon Life is infact the icon for a Page skill called Threaten.

Visually stunning? Nah, the animation is choppy in areas, and the backgrounds don't look "stunning".
It's an alright game overall, but the skill icons are evidently ripped from Maplestory, which means you get a 2/10 from me.

Next time, draw your own graphics instead of stealing others'.

Score: 9

"Original and refreshing twist on the genre."

submission: Pirate Defense

date: May 29, 2009

Great idea, and well executed too.
It's quite difficult to set up the traps in a way which kills all of the bad guys.
However, that's part of the beauty of this game -
You've gotta keep trying until you find a winning combo of traps that gets them all.

Nice song too.

Score: 5

"Too drawn out."

submission: ~SA:ChristmasBattleParty~

date: March 15, 2009

The animation was fair.
The art was quite good.
But, over all, the story was a bit shallow and rather boring in my opinion.
I'm not saying I want lots of fighting scenes; just something a little more captivating.
I enjoy animations that have a solid, graspable plot-line and are clearly define as a certain genre.

I actually take offense to the "ADHD clock".
You labeling people with ADHD to purely have a short attention span is a bit thoughtless and slightly insulting in my opinion.
Which is surprising, as I thought you were one of those people that loves everyone, and is all happy happy happy, judging by the amount of "God bless you"s and "I love you all"s and "I love your honesty"s and "I prayed for you"s on your newsposts.

Also, the animal sex on the TV was a bit... twisted.

Score: 10

"Everything is awesome in this game!"

submission: Knightfall

date: March 11, 2009

The graphic style is fantastic, and every aspect of the gameplay fits perfectly.
I was tempted to quit at one point, but the desire to find new creatures and items pushed me onwards.
A game which can do that is a good game indeed.
I absolutely loved the sprites.

Awesome.

Score: 9

"Really funny."

submission: Sketched - Therapy

date: March 4, 2009

Loved it - the animation was top notch, and the humor was funny without being offensive.
Definitely going in my favorites.
