"This is good"

submission: Travelling Mind

date: December 10, 2009

As far as art and animation goes, this was decent, but I'm sure you'll improve with practice.

It might disappoint you to know that, despite your effort to try something completely original, such random animations actually have a sort of genre, a collection on newgrounds. I believe it is called "experimental". There are quite a few like yours, random, meaningless.

Perhaps you're taking originality in a very literal sense. The color white, it's been used before. Using it again would be unoriginal. That, as I see it, is faulty logic.

An original plot would be something new, perhaps the basic structure of the plot has been used before, but the skin and the bells and whistles around it are new, of your own creation.

As I see it, this flash is as original as any other flash with non copyright characters. Or perhaps a bit more original. But the thing is, originality doesn't always equal a good flash. I could walk backwards in the street, in hopes of being unique. But it's impractical, and stupid. I could develop a new creation that helps people in an effort of being unique, and that would make me unique.

People are finding more and more new original concepts in games. But if you rip the game apart, you'd find that all games are very similar; you press on buttons to play, press on the correct buttons to win, press on the wrong buttons and you lose. But that's not how people look at it. I guess it's merely relative.

But in conclusion, I commend you on your efforts of trying to be original, and keep practicing.

"Microtransactions in games is a good idea..."

submission: The Forest Ranger

date: October 3, 2009

But only if your game is of exceedingly high quality and is a huge it. With averaged quality games, user will be offended by the fact that you want them to pay for something that is not worth it, and will think of you as greedy.

As for the game itself, it's okay. I mean it's pretty basic. There's not much to it. But you ever think about maybe practicing a certain aspect, such as programming, before working on games? Taking the time to fully learn Actionscript will pay off greatly.

P.S. Are you dudejonne from FGL?

"Incredible!"

submission: A Midnight Visit

date: September 30, 2009

A very deep and thought-provoking movie. I loved it. For those saying it was boring, if you want mindless action and killing, go watch the Madness series. The way I see it, any sort of action would have ruined this flash.

Great job, hope to see more soon.

"At first, I was thinking...5"

submission: --The Zelda Collab--

date: June 8, 2009

After seeing the collab from start to finish (without going to the author's page or seeing any bonus material) I just thought, meh, the animation's good and all but not very entertaining. The bonus tricks and all that are pretty awesome, the twilight realm in the author's page, good thinking.

You guys just need better scripts...

"I know a daily feature when I see one"

submission: Wacky Ride

date: March 27, 2009

And this is definitely getting a daily feature. Good work, it rocks!

"It's a snake game alright..."

submission: Classic Snake Remake Game

date: January 21, 2009

However, you could have done something more instead of just copying it from a tutorial....

"Amazing"

submission: 50 Optical Illusions

date: January 18, 2009

I've always spent hours searching for these illusions, I found most of the ones here, but it's great to finally have a collection that has em all.

Now my only regret is not thinking of this first!

Score: 7

"Best game on newgrounds?"

submission: Toad Massacre

date: January 10, 2009

No. It was great and all. The intro was very nice, the music fit in well. But the gameplay was just too simple. (I have nothing against toads) but it would have been better if it were side scrolling, and there would be toads instead of goombas.

The gameplay wasn't all that great, was a bit fast too.

Score: 9

"It's pretty good..."

submission: Mario-Combat

date: December 4, 2008

It's pretty awesome, pretty epic and all. However if you were to maybe add a story instead of senseless fighting...

I know it's a mario game, but still. We've had those beat em up games for years, changing the sprites doesn't really matter, if you were to add a story, some movies...anything like that, then you'd have a game to remember....

Score: 7

"That would have been incredible if...."

submission: .The Murderer

date: November 17, 2008

..it wasn't just pointless fighting like all the madness episodes. If you would have made a story and some dialogue and stuff, that would have been amazing....
