"Daily 3rd Place?"

submission: Operation Gi-go: File 2

date: May 29, 2007

This should've gotten daily 1st place... this was so good! Graphics were great but you could have some animation practice. I have not seen a Flash that actually keeps me going and interested like a Flash you made right here!

Did you use Photoshop for a few graphics?

10/10

5/5

Can't wait for the sequel but take your time!

"Nice FBF"

submission: FrameStorm: The Rise

date: May 25, 2007

It was alright, had nice fast and smooth FBF which I liked but it was very short and random... People don't realise how much it gives to a Flash movie when it has a story line - It's much better than just random cool animation.

You're drawings weren't very detailed but the animation was very good.

"Ok"

submission: Cow on Trampoline

date: May 25, 2007

It was ok, there wasn't really much that I liked but the "3D" cow flying in space impressed me a lot. The trampoline effect bouncing was pretty bad - a trampoline doesn't extend the amount of the material, it stretches lower, your flash made it look like the trampoline produces more of that material when someone goes to bounce.

You also need to put more effort into the jumping animation, it didn't look like he was doing much.

And your drawings need shadows, those really make a difference to drawings and improve graphics by a lot.

"Not Good"

submission: Frag Vince McMahon

date: May 24, 2007

Not very good at all, the graphics weren't good, gameplay wasn't fun, idea was ok I guess but could've thought of something better.

Your characters needed shadows, that's mostly why drawings don't look good, they NEED shadows.

Gameplay was very slow and boring... I could tell from the start it was going to be a bad game because there was no preloader, play button didn't look good, introducing the game and the bullets weren't done very well.

This needs heaps of improving, but I'm guessing that you have probably improved heaps because this was submitted 7 years ago, or you quit Newgrounds and Flash.

"LOL"

submission: Elmorama

date: May 24, 2007

It was pretty funny but graphics needed big improving. The human and elmo were ok but the background was crap! You need to work on backgrounds.

And I've said this so many times to people; you need to have shadows on your drawings, it makes the graphics so much better.

The lipsyncing was good with the kid but if you lipsynced Elmo when he was singing that would've made it better.

The voice quality was pretty bad, to fix that if its not the sound file just go to File>Publish Settings>Flash>Stream settings>Set it to 112kbps...

You can set it to whatever you want but don't set it too high because your flash .swf size will be huge and everyone likes to have flashes that load quicker but still are good quality.

Also, with the rating you should say that it has language in it because someone will be watching it with their little kid thinking it will have nothing bad and then they'll freak when they hear the kid swear... please give accurate ratings.

6/10 because humour was good and the shape of the characters was good.

"NGC Does Have Talent"

submission: NGC Talent Collab

date: May 24, 2007

I know that NGC does have talent but unfortunately they don't have many members... but better to have a few great Flash members than many members that aren't very good at Flash.

With Radioactive24's Tankmen parody, was that music "Start A War" by Static X, if it is did he get that off WWE Smackdown Vs RAW 2006 video game? That's where I have only heard it.

Daj has some awesome FBF skills, probably why he's doing the Brushed series which are FBF collabs.

SwiftstylerX has some good drawing skills and pretty good animation skills which need a little bit of improving.

Milburn's art is fantastic, 10/10 for you!

Space Walk has some good animating skills but needs to improve on art.

Irk is pretty good with both animating and drawing, they're both pretty balanced and one isn't overly better than the other.

Bendo is very good with walk cycles and layout graphics.

I'm not going to review the sprites because to me its just a bunch of images being thrown in for people who can't draw; I like to review cartoons that the authors actually drew.

And what I noticed is you guys don't have an actionscripter... maybe next year you might have a few actionscripters because the number of games collabs have gone down and I really like those type of collabs.

And Swiftstyler's Boulevard of Broken Songs collab parts were awesome, I saw them in the thread.

Good luck to Daj on Brushed*4.

Congratulations on all the awards, Bendo; I counted eleven.

You're using that tablet of yours pretty well, Irk. Keep it up.

Nice Photoshop skills, Radioactive24, much better than I could ever do, and the tankman looked almost identical, but I could notice a few differences because I traced a few tankmen and a user said they looked fully identical.

I loved Space Walk's talking animation; nice and fast paced.

Too all those sprite people that I didn't mention, I'm mentioning you now and saying good luck on future animations.

Great team effort and you deserve an award, though next time I think you should have a music collab or a collab that's not just a showcase of their work.

"Pretty Good"

submission: Twisted Minds Ep. 1

date: May 24, 2007

I thought this was pretty funny and enjoyable flash to watch. The intro music was great. What needs improving is the voice quality, the spelling mistakes and some graphics.

With the drawing you should add shadows... it really makes a difference. And the walk cycles were a bit robotic, both of the legs and arms are usually moving at the same time, not one at a time.

Lipsyncing was pretty good, but you definitely need shadows on your drawings. Good work! 7.7/10, 4/5.

"Awesome"

submission: Jellyfish

date: May 22, 2007

This was a great fun game to play. It was very different and easy to play... One problem I had though was when you clicked the play button, the jellyfish would go straight to the cursor which could sometimes make me catch something bad. It would've been a good idea to make it have 3 seconds before it actually started.

Overall it was very fun and unique game. 9.8/10

"Great!"

submission: Way Too Good

date: May 21, 2007

You have great, smooth and fast animating skills. I liked how this was reasonably fast as well as smooth so it keeps you anticipated, the smooth ones that are slow are ok but this was nice and fast. And the music was good for it too... You have great animating skills. Keep up the great work!

"Ok..."

submission: Mario's Job

date: May 21, 2007

But very boring... not the greatest animation, could've had more effort, a few spelling mistakes at the beginning and wasn't very funny. I also thought it was a little slow. Do you have your FPS at 12 or higher, I'd recommend at least 18, but I usually use 24-30 FPS with my Flash movies.

And I think the Mario sprites didn't look very good. Find better sprites and keep trying!
