[=Button Tutorial 2=]

Great Tutorial! (Recommended 4 Tut Collection)

I do have to agree will Haggard though... The Background/ Text color combination is a bad one here, and it is a bit hard on the eyes.

The tutorial itself is wonderful; I love how you explained everything simply, and still snuck in a few full on finished examples along the way.

Suggestions for the future:
- Typos and spelling errors can be an eyesore; Take the time to make sure these things are taken care of.
- Next time I would consider a bit more complicated looking layout

Overall, great work :]

I agree on the spelling mistakes. I can't believe I missed them.

Thanks for the review

[Ballz! Bounce]

not bad, but could use a few things

The music was okay and I love a "get-all-the-upgrades" game as much as the next guy, but I relly had trouble understanding this game at first, once I got the hang of it though... I kinda lost interest :(

Things to improve upon
- The upgrade menu was a bit sketchy, and It would have been nice to have a little more info on the upgrades you were buying (before you bought them)
- I didn't really understand the "money-gaining" system here
- It would have been nice to hear more than just one song in this, and a mute button is a must
- I encountered a weird bug where the music started playing multiple instances of the song, and I ended up getting attacked by this "Tri-layered beast of a song"

Overall this game is pretty cool, but still a bit buggy

[NG Audio Elevator]

Nice & Simple

I really like that this little widget was easy to understand, worked great, and had a nice-look overall design. I also really liked the random song/ link features :]; very nice!

Things to take a second look at
- I would have liked to see an option to categorize the random song search by genre (rather than just randomly going through the whole pile)
- I also wish you could get more info on the song that you're streaming, while you listen :p

Overall I think this is a great idea, but needs a little bit more :p

Surn responds:

"random song search by genre (rather than just randomly going through the whole pile)"

That would be possible, since the songs are picked from a predetermined list of 20 (so it doesn't search, per say). If I had a lot more it might be worth it.

"I also wish you could get more info on the song that you're streaming, while you listen :p"

While it is possible to retrieve song information, it only works with desktop applications. The only other way would be to read the site itself. Not even NG radio does this.

Glad you liked it, thanks for reviewing.

[Madotsuki's Dream Dock]

I have to agree with chris on this one x.x

Both the animation and music were very enjoyable, but i'm not really sure what this is supposed to be?

Most of the visuals that were supposed to be scary... really weren't, and I found myself kinda bored waiting for things to change...
By the time that the final sequence happened and the girl screamed i was like "wow really... about time"

This could be really spooky and has a pretty nice overall presentation, but I think you should work on the timing a bit bit more

[Daft Punk Soundboard]

This was a cool idea :D

I was kinda upset that it only had the initial vocal parts though; I wanted to do that whole song :]]]]

Great work

[Ten Second Slaughters]

Thanks for using my track!

This is a shweet little game ya got here, but I kind of agree with gkanda; a little viewer window or something would be cool :]

fun little game, but I think it needs a few adjustments.

Rabid-Animals responds:

Great track, man! I think it really tied the game together. I'll discuss this viewer window idea with my partner.

Thanks for the review (and song)!

[Symphonic TD - Halloween]

Loved this just as much as the first!

When will you guys be holding another music competition? I'm still itching for an opportunity to see one of my songs make it in one of these games! >o<

Awesome work guys keep it up! :D

[DK Arcade Returns 2]

Really great, but the moving platforms are crazy

I still haven't managed to get across them, but I really like this submission overall :).
Also, the first fire in level 1 is a bit buggy; I actually fell though the floor on the left side of it a couple times. It seems like the fires might bit like oneeee pixel too big. (could just be me though)

Final thought; great game, just needs some touches

Not a bad game, but a bit too hard.

I got to about level 9, and really lost the urge to play; It's not a bad idea to make your game challenging, but levels like level 9 are pretty frustrating in comparison to the first 8 :[

I really liked the music, and the gameplay was interesting; I was really locked into this for a few minutes, but the super challenging maze things got pretty frustrating.

Things that could use that extra lookover:
- The blank white backgrounds got boring pretty quick
- some of the coins seemed to spawn in really odd spots (Inside of the spikes/ barriers)
- The main menu is okay, but the plain background makes this submission look a lot less professional :[
- I got kind of tired of hearing the same music loop over and over again while playing this game; maybe add a few music submissions to the next one, and give each level its own song?

Overall not a bad submission, but this could use a few more things/ touch ups imo

Will do, mate :)
thanks for you feedback :D

[Shrimpy's Adventure 2!]

The background is weird :S

I do think that the intro/ tutorial thing at the beginning of this flash was a huge improvement over the previous one, and the music that you pick for these things is always pretty good stuff :}.

The Jumping feature seemed less glitchy this time around, but after a couple respawns; I found myself controlling an army of shrimp people, and the game became pretty difficult to progress through.

The platforms were also very small in some spots, making it really difficult to survive long :[

Overall, i think these games are almost there; a few more changes, and you'll have some solid work. :]

Great effort!

shrimpchris responds:

I'm not really sure why he does that multi-shrimp thing. I had problems with that when testing while working on it and couldn't figure out why since I did the same thing that I've done in other games, but that still happens. Glad you enjoyed and think I'm improving! See you next game!
