"Mirror Shined"

submission: pixelBOMB

date: June 3, 2009

Professional, sleek, simple, easy. Could spread like wildfire this. Exactly the thing you want from a casual web browser game, and has enough scoreboard features to keep me interested. You did well with this Chaz.

Score: 10

"This Review will be buried soon enough..."

submission: The Newgrounds Card Game

date: March 5, 2008

To combat the argument about registration, I personally don't care who has my email address. Neither do most people. Every one arguing about the server having thier details so that they can continue to play the game no matter where they are in the world is just looking for any excuse.

Other than the chat system being evil incarnate, the game is a nifty addition. Balanced, fair, annoying when you lose and gratifying when you win. Course, that's just like it was on FFVIII, but meh. There are so few decent multiplayer Flash games out on the Portal at the moment, and hopefully this will start the trend off nicely.

Score: 6

"Just a mouse avoider..."

submission: The Green Dot

date: January 31, 2008

But one I enjoyed playing none the less. One I actually got pretty involved in until I realised I was spending my time playing it...

Good game for 27k. Needs a lot of tidying up (the graphics, while I know can't be made much better could still be improved or stylised to hide the lack of substance some more), and some actual thought was put into it (including, suprisingly, the difficulty curve... well done there).

Only an average score because, hey, it's only a Mouse Avoider. But I'm a cynical hasbeen who always votes low anyway. Good luck with the next project.

Score: 10

"Epic"

submission: Webcamoose!

date: December 2, 2007

Absolutely extraordinary. Its amazing you've managed to do this entirely in a month and come up with such a good result. This animation's made you methinks.

Keep up the good work Alex. :)

"Exceptional"

submission: Mardek Rpg: Chapter 1

date: June 9, 2007

Okay, only played up to the beginning of the Fallen Star quest but I can see the work that has gone into this game. I'm amazed. Some niggles with the interface and control system (why do I have to jump from cursor keys to ASD? Why does the battle interface need the mouse when the keyboard would be much better?) but I have to say this is one of the most complete RPGs I have ever seen on the Internet.

You should be proud.

Score: 7

"Made me smile."

submission: The Sun And The Moon

date: March 18, 2007

Made me giggle. Sound quality was dire for the moon and could do with replacing. But other than that, awesome.

Score: 2

"Remember your preloader!!!"

submission: A Goomba Short

date: March 15, 2007

Was wondering why it wasn't working until I checked the file size again. a seven mb flash file NEEDS a preloader. Since one's so easily available, I docked you a potentially huge score.

Because the bits I got to see were really, really, REALLY well done for sprite movies. Perfect timing on the sounds, the animations match with the game it's based on...

In short, nothing wrong bar the cardinal sin of forgetting that other people have to download it...

Score: 3

"Not enough happening."

submission: War Pigs-Intro

date: March 11, 2007

For three minutes of a ten odd minute song, there's nothing actually going on. It feels like a load of still images.

That and the stuff that's not been sprited, or the stuff that turns pixels on thier sides, really ruin the feel of the piece. If you're going to do sprites, make it all sprited.

Summary: Make more stuff happen. Make it look better

Score: 8

"Genuinely Enjoyable"

submission: Super Mario Hardcore

date: November 28, 2006

Ah. So nice to see a fresh take on Mario...

Well... at least a take on Mario that gives you some better weapons. Very nicely done in my humble opinion, although I think the sprites could have been made bigger to capture the real Mario-style vibe.

Good luck on future sequels. Make them even more like the bastard child of Mario and Quake and they'll be solid gold entries.

Score: 9

"Excellent Style, but demanding graphics"

submission: StarCraft FA 5

date: November 22, 2006

My machine is anything but low tech. 2.6 ghz, P4 with 2GB Ram. And I was still running it on low quality.

Other than that, an excellent defense game. A bit difficult with the menu transitions (too unresponsive), and some obvious preference of graphics over game play, but otherwise worthy of Front Page and a Daily Award for effort and style alone.
