[[SB] Apu]

Not Bad

--The Good--

Well, the sound in this soundboard was pretty good. The quality of the sound was good, and so was the way you set the sounds up, which kind of goes in style. Also, I liked the background you used; the many different images of Apu were great! There was some interactivity in this game, and it was pretty funny (as 'The Simpsons' usually is).

--The Improvement-Needing--

Well, first of all, when you press the sound above 'Off my Jerky, Turkey' it plays 'Hands off my Jerky, Turkey!' Just a little bug I noticed. Also, there weren't that many sounds. It might also be nice that if you scrolled over the sounds, they eould change colour, or something like that.

--Overall--

Overall, I gave you a 7. It is pretty good, but it could use some improving, like most games/flashes. This isn't bad if this was indeed your second soundboard, but, yes, it couls use some improving. Anyway, nice job!

[Kickass Dressup]

Average

--The Good--

Well, there were lots of options in this game. I liked the hats and the shoes, and the heads were kind of humorous. This game had not a bad style to it, either. I liked the shirt the guy was wearing, and his head and face. There was some violence in this game; the blood, and the ninja stars with blood on the end, and the knife with blood on the end. When you stuck it on your guy, it looked pretty realistic, and wasn't animated badly. Also, there was a some interactivity in this flash.

--The Improvement-Needing--

Well, first of all, although there was sokme interactivity in this game, there wasn't a lot. It eould have been nice if you could drag the items, not just press arrows (for most of them). Also, I found that sometimes you couldn't click the down arrow; you could only click the up arrow (at the beginning). Maybe you should fix that. Also, there was no sound in this game; it would be nice to have some sound. This game also wasn't very funny.

--Overall--

Overall, I gave you a five. There are good things about this game, and bad things about it too. Obviously, the no sound is not a very good thing. Also, I dont like how you have to press arrows for most of them. This might be okay, but maybe you should make the arrows bigger. However, I sort of liked the style of this movie, and the graphics weren't bad.

Crusty-Wiwuh responds:

With most dressups you have to drag & drop everything, which I think is annoying and pointless for alot of it. It would be difficult to get everything exactly where you want it if it was drag and drop, and it would have been difficult for me to fit all teh items onto the stage. I do agree some of the features on teh selectable stuff could have been left out as drag and drop though... I didn't put everything as drag & drop because mainly I just wanted to practice movie clip control with this game, and also I wanted it to be different to all teh other dressups. I thought it was more proffessional to have selectable clothing.
I didn't really think of having teh selectables on a continuous loop, maybe I'll put that in.
There was music in this - The white box at teh bottom was where you could select teh song. Everyone else found that, but maybe i should put a lil title on the box...

[Ryan's Dream Adventure]

Not a bad platform game

This wasn't a bad platform game, but it could definately use some improving. Like, the music was kind of annoying, it wasn't very fun (I kind of agree with the last reviewer on that point), and, well, it basically just need some improving. It wasn't absolutely terrible, it just needed, well, improving. Which is kind of what I am going to talk about in this review.

The graphics in this game, were, actually, pretty good. It had a nice, sort of light, airy look to it. It wasn't dark, or very tense, either. The whole had that kind of feel around it; nice and airy, carefree, and it wasn't really a big deal if you lost (which could or couldn't have been a good thing). Of course, the grpahics couls use SOME improving, like the enemies were (kind of) hard to see. Although, this sin't a huge complaint, maybe you could make them less hidden next time... or were you aiming for that? Anyway, this was a almost definately a high point in this game.

The style of this game was pretty good too. Like the graphics, the whole thing had a nice, polished touch to it. It was, again, light and airy, with a positive mood towards it. I liked how the enmies moved; especially that one enemy that slides across the ground (although I haven't palyed all of this game). Nice job with this!

The sound in this game was good, but it got kind of repetitive and annoying. There were, I think, many better music options out thee for you to put in your game, not that kind of twangy, annoying beat. Just search the audio portal! Anyway, I gave sound a 7 because it definately fit the game, and some people might like it, but I personally didn't like it very much.

There was a little violence in this game. The jumping on the enmies was the obvious one (and quite possibly the only one). The violence wasn't really that graphic, though, so I only gave you a 4. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, and it fit the whole kind of light and airy feel of the game. So, in short, I can't really say, "Nice!", or something to that effect in this category (is there such a thing as 'nice' violence [maybe...]) Anyway...

There was a lot of interactivity in this game. Well, sort of a lot... if you get what I mean. I mean that there were probably more combinations you could have used (more button combinations, maybe...) You could have used more buttons, and maybe a crouch button...? Just a thought. Anyway, once again, I can't really say "Nice job!" here, well... actually... I guess I kind of can... Nice job!

And, finally, humour, which there was (probably) none of. Once again, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Although, I probably would have expected a game like this to be at least KIND OF funny, it wasn't really a big deal.

Overall, I thought that this was a pretty good platform game. Although I didn't paly through all of it, it could have used some more button options maybe (like a crouch button...) The grpahics and style of this were pretty good. It could use some improving, like the fun factor (and probably some other things that I didn't even notice), but for the most part, this was a pretty good platform game. Good job!

Sk8erGirl14 responds:

Wow, I appreciate the nice long review...

...This was a first for me, I wasn't trying to overstep myself on the first time around...I learned a lot since making this and I plan on developing other games...

...I chose the Chiptune Music cause Im a fan of it...I like Old Skool game music...there could have been other choices for it...

...there is a crouch key in the game, it simply is the DOWN ARROW...this is pivital to the game because it allows the game character to slide, and if you played through the game you would have had to use it to get the Shoe Power Up to jump higher...

...but anyway, like I said, this was a first for me...and things will only get better...

[[SB] Spongebob]

A Great Soundboard

This was a great soundboard, for many reasons. There was a plethera of sounds to play around with, most of them were either pretty good or pretty funny, and you obviously worked hard on this. Good job! It might need a little bit of improving, like most flashes/games, but it was still a great soundboard; good job!

The graphics in this soundboard were, actually, pretty good. I liked the bakcground you chose, and the way you had the sounds set-up and layed-out. It was a nice set-up, and almost definately enhanced the whole feel of the soundboard. One thing that might have improved it was that you should put a 'STOP ALL SOUNDS' label uner the picture of that fish; this might just be me, but I couldn't figure out how to stop the sounds! This isn't a huge complaint, though, just a suggestion.

The style of this soundboard was very good. As I said before, I liked the background, and the way it was set-up was nice. There were so many sounds (I think I mentioned this before( which made it enjoyable. There were more sounds for Spongebob than anybody else, but I suppose that this is kind of a given, as he is the main character, after all. Anyway, the stlye was pretty good in this soundboard. Nice job!

The sound of this soundboard was very good as well. The sound-quality was very good; none of them (that I listened too, at least) were scratchy or not understandable. There was a little glitch, though (I probably wouldn't have noticed this if one of the otehr eviewers before hadn't mentioned this, but still), when you press on the same sound many times, it gets all, well, scratchy, and kind of fuzzes out after a bit (at laeast I think it fuzzes out...) It isn't a big deal, as many of the things you need to improve on in this soundboard are, but I just thought I'd mention that.

There was practically no violence in this soundboard at all. However, there was no need for much violence in this soundboard. I gave violence a 1 because of verbal aggression; there wasn't a lot (and there might not have been any...), but, just in case there was, I'll just give it a 1.

There was lots of interactivity in this movie. Of course, like most soundboards, you had buttons, but there were over (or about) 75 sounds in this particular soundboard, so there was lots of intercativity. This should probably go in the soudns section, but just in case, some of the sounds went on too long, and/or had more than one character in them. Just something I thought I should mention.

And, finally, humour. There was plenty of humour in this soundboard. Spongebob Squarepants is supposed to be a funny show, and this soundboard is funny too. You picked plenty of good quotes (although some of them were too long or contained more than one character, but I've already mentioned that). I don't think
people would use this for prank phone-calling people, but more as kind of a funny quote soundboard for Spongebob Squarepants. Anyway, it was pretty funny (from what I listened too), so nice job!

Overall, this was a very good soundboard, with tons of quotes. The multiple characters were good in this soundboard, as were many other things. Some things needed improving, but overall, it was a very good soundboard. Nice job!

FattyWhale responds:

Thanks for the really long review :o The stop all sounds button was the fish's face I believe. Thanks for the longest review I've ever gotten!

[Mini-Golf]

Not bad

First-Impression: As I started this game, I noticed that it started automatically; there was no pre-loader. That probably wasn't a very good sign. I played the first hole, and completely didn't get it! After another try at it, though, I seemed to get it.

Graphics: The graphics in this movie were actually pretty good. They were almost definately beter than I thought they would be. They had sort of a light, wispy look to them. Good job with these!

Style: The style was actually very good as well. Once again, the whole thing seemed to have a very light, loose feel to it. Good job with these too!

Sound: This was definately one thing I would have liked to have. Most games need sound. if you had included some nice, easy music, or even just the sounds of some birds chirping, that would have improved the game. It would also have been nice to have sounds, say, when the ball hit the wall; you want to hear a 'crack', or something like that. Also, maybe a suction noise when the ball went into those weird tubes that suck in your ball.. version two...?

Violence: Of course, there was no violence in this game at all. It isn't a bad thing, seeing as this i s a mii-putt game.

Interactivity: There was tons of interactivity in this game; more than most other games. The fact that you can control how hard you hit the ball, among other things (though not many; don't take that as an insult), made this a huge advantage to this game.

Humour: This game didn't need any humour. It was just kind of... fun.

Overall: Good job. It could definately use some improving, like the lack of sounds needs attending too, and maybe some extras, or an instructions menu? I had trouble understanding what to do with this game at first, but I eventually got it. And why are the holes (that I got oo, at least) Par 3's? Anyway, nice job, but it could definately use some improving.

NinjaOnFire responds:

Well thanks for the positive review, but I dunno what you are talking about, there is a pre-loader.

[Mission Manic]

Sorry, I didn't really enjoy this

I didn't really enjoy this. Sorry. There are many places you have to 'patch up'. The graphics are sort of sub-par and I don't really understand the whole plot of the story. You have made plenty of flashes/games; I don't know if this one was one of your first or not. If it was, this might be excusable, but, if it was one of your later flashes, you should really improve.

Graphics are a very important of (most) flash movies. Of course, there are a few exceptions (as I mentioned above), but most have to have at least half-decent graphics. This one doesn't really have very great graphics; they are mediocre. Of course, (most) graphics aren't going to be perfect, but most should be, again, good, or at least a little more than average. These really aren't. They are pretty much dead on the average line.

Style-wise, this I'll give you a little bit more in than graphics because there was some style to this game. I guess the way you did the buttons to move the text forward was okay, and I didn't mind the character designs. When people die and/or fall over, though, try and make them not turn 2D-ish and sort of slump down on to the floor; make them more 3D-ish and have them fall backwards... I realize this may sound like a hard task, but it will probably improve your flashes!

Sound waasn't bad, and it was maybe even pretty good. The quality of the sound was average, I guess, but you adjusted the volume down approprietly, and it worked. The music wasn't blaring at you, it was nice and, well, not soft, but... right, I guess you could say. The choice of music was probably pretty right for the spots in the game where music was included.

Violence there was some of. The gun part and the blood counted for some of it, as did the tying-up scene. On the note of the tying-up scene, I couldn't get past it! Where's the place you're talking about to 'disable the trap?' Anyway, yes; there was some violence.

For interactivity there was a more than average (from what I played). You could click the text, and the gun scene counted as interactivity. That's pretty much all there really is to say about interactivity.

And last, humour; there was none. But, it doesn't really matter in a game like this... it's not supposed to be funny, it's supposed to be serious.

This was average, overall. The pretty good sound, and above average style counted towards some of the points, and the graphics took away from some of the points (don't get me wrong, I don't overall my score with points... I'm just sort of saying that metaphorically, if you understand what I mean). I don't really dispise the graphics in this game, I just think they could use some improving. Anyway, overall, it was average. If you improved it, I think it could actually be pretty good.

[South Park Kenny Dress Up]

Okay, but not great

This was okay... some more options for clothing would have been nice. Also, it was kind of (this isn't a big complaint) KIND OF hard to fit the clothes on to Kenny sometimes. You had to fit it just right on to him. It doesn't really matter though. The graphics were okay, there was a some style... this might just be a complaint from me, but a button to turn the music back on would have been nice.

Anyway, nice job.

blueyedguy responds:

Thanks for the review
I know some of the clothes didn't fit i'm sorry about that mate

[GravyMania - Updated]

Umm...

This wasn't that great, and I'll tell you why. It wasn't that fun, and the 'gravity orb' was so slow. I lasted about... well... maybe about 1 minute or a little under that. If you wanted to improve, maybe you could do levels? Or maybe you could keep track of how mlong you last? Anyway, it was okay, but it definately needs improving.

maxoga responds:

If this pass, i'll fix a few levels, if not, i think i'll give up.

[Simpsons&Futurama Creata]

Nice job

This was pretty good. It wasa definately fun to play and fun to use, so that's a plus. Graphically, it was pretty good. Nice job animating the Simpsons. Style-wise it was a little better then average, but the Simpsons are cool and so is Futurama. Sound is okay, but, again; it had to do with the Simpsons! There is no violence in this flash game, obviously. Interactivity was pretty good. And humour there wasn't a lot of... but that doesn't really matter ;).

Nice job! I lok forward to seeing some of your flash games/movies in the future!

Aprime responds:

Thanks, add me to favs, but wheres the 10, lol!

[The Lego Dress Up]

It was okay

It was okay I guess. It was fun for about 2 minutes, and then it got boring. It would have been more fun if there were more options to play around with. Overall, I think your Habbo Hotel Dress-Up was better, but this was still pretty good.

Aprime responds:
