Attack of the Alien Kids

"A decent start, but you need some work."

date: May 20, 2009

There are plenty of problems with this game, some that can be addressed fairly easily. First off, use space bar for firing rather than ctrl, its more comfortable. Secondly, use either attachMovie(linkage,newname,level) or duplicateMovie(linkage,newname,level) to create new instances of the bullets, and use variable counters to ensure they have different names and are on different layers. That way you can shoot more than one bullet at a time. If you don't know what I'm talking about, search for basic tutorials on them or look at the flash help page. Third, come up with a better concept than side scrolling enemiess that your space ship shoots. I'm sure this was one of your first submissions and you followed a basic shooter tutorial (I started with the same one) but try and put more effort into your submissions. Lastly, don't give up, as each successive game becomes easier to make as you get more familiar with actionscript. Good luck and hopefully I've been helpful.

Tower Defence Generals

"Not a bad game."

date: April 26, 2009

Your animations were fluid, your gameplay was solid, and your sounds were good too, but your game fell short on originality. While there were components that deviated from the norm, such as leader powers, the concept has been tirelessly done over and over again. You have talent and could make gold, but this isn't it. A good, solid game never the less.

"This has to be the greatest game ever."

submission: Tri-achnid

The art, the music, the physics, the controls, the concept, all perfect. I have never seen a game that was this well made before.

Air Hockey Ikoncity

"good"

date: October 19, 2006

However, you need to increase the framerate. Im guessing you used about 30 fps? It needs to be at least 60 when dealing with highspeed collisions. Half the time I would go to hit the puck, and I would have moved so much by the time the frame updated, that I was infront of the puck, causing it to bounce backwards, usually into my own goal. Your disclaimer shows that you know of this, but were too lazy to do it. For that I took off a few points. It was a good game aside from that, good Ai, sound, and graphics.

Swords and Sandals

"good game, but too hard"

submission: Swords and Sandals
date: October 1, 2006

and the lack of a save feature is infuriating, I dont want to start all over because I lost one match. It is way to hard to beat the champion.

Audiball

"good concept"

submission: Audiball
date: September 28, 2006

Could have been better, if you included more objects to dodge, more objects to hit, and more everything. It was kinda slow paced and boring, and to the dumbass below me who was shouting into his mic, try blowing into it, makes alot of noise in the computer, but none in real life.

Author's Response:

I know what you mean with the boredom - the movement AI was done a bit last minute and I only tweaked it a little. I may do a sequel.

"Another amazing work"

David you have once again provided newgrounds with a unique and high quality flash. Oh and tell Jerry Jackson that Ebaum stole his mario parody.

Save/Load Tutorial

"Good, but I am having trouble with it."

submission: Save/Load Tutorial
date: August 23, 2006

I have tried this out, and can't seem to get it to work.
I believe the error I am having has to do with the declaration of the file name. Does it need to be in quotes? Do I need to specify the path? Do I need to include the .swf? Please help me out.
