One-Dollar's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mind Boggle]

Good, but too small

Nice game, I could do the beginner easily, but I've no idea how to go about the advanced. The problem is the lack of content, e.g. there's only really two levels, one of which seems (to me) near impossible. It also couldn't harm to put in some nicer visuals, like sliding the blocks, and making them look more rounded and shiny. At the moment it looks like games you'd get with a Windows 3.1 computer

atkman responds:

Thank you for your input. I have added an intermediate stage along with more sound and better graphics.

[Basic Actionscripting]

looks very helpful

Very good tutorial, covering loads of things and explaining them very well. Also presented pretty well, you don't really NEED great graphics and music; though it would slightly improve the submission if you did. My only slight issue was that one character was moved with WASD and the other with the arrow keys, but thats not much of a problem. 5/5

Thanks for the review and tip..I know I need to add some music and make it look alot better! The whole idea was to help noobs with nothing fancy so they could understand it as easy as possible :P

[ID Movie Clip Tutorial]

Not enough and FAR too simple

This is incredibly simplistic stuff. That's not a bad thing in itself, but if you can understand your descriptions of how to make one, you probably already know how to make a movie clip. Some examples of uses of movie clips would have helped (e.g. treating it as a graphic and setting the frame to have, for example, an eye blinking at frame 10 that is all in one movie clip)

IceyDrummer responds:

yes i no it was simplistic but as i found when doing tutorials myself as in reading them if they get too far ahead too fast then people usally just close it but if u put it as simple as possible and go step by step the steps that you think no1 would need then peopole don't get as overwelmed... so that was what i was trying to do here, but that is a good example and i might use it and credit you i guess

[So you think you know NG?]

Pretty good

This was well made and put together, and an interesting test for Newgrounds enthusiasts. I liked it though there was the odd mistake - I don't think 'featre' is spelt like that, and according to the Newgrounds history page Tom Fulp was unable to get Newground as his website (as you seemed to suggest Newgrounds was originally) because it was already taken.
A few suggestions if you were to make a sequal - maybe add more interactivity for example giving users the option to change the style or music. Also why not pick a random 20 questions from a much larger batch, that would improve replayability. I'm not too sure about having a score and lives, why not get rid of the lives and do something like lose points for incorrect answers? But these are just suggestions and you submission is still very good

ELFERRETO responds:

thanks for the great review! i will certainly look into those suggestions
