Flash Pool

"Fun game!"

submission: Flash Pool
date: June 26, 2009

Actually, I find this game relatively easy to play, and this comes from a person that finds most simulation games/anything requiring aiming to be nearly impossible. I think the physics work passably well. Perhaps you can find a way to lock the direction you are shooting first, and then adjust power. I did find it a bit of a struggle to juggle both of those at the same time on some shots.

I also like that there aren't distracting sounds while I'm concentrating on my shots, but maybe you can consider adding music in future games, provided you also have a mute button so we can choose whether to hear it or not. Overall, I find this to be a good game: the graphics are detailed enough and you allow us a fair number of mistakes before restart. In closing, this is a great first submission, and some reviewers seem to be overlooking that aspect. Good luck with your future endeavors, and I've added this to my favorites.

Chronicles of Clitoria

"Well placed humor."

date: June 11, 2009

Frankly, I was a bit worried about the mention of penises in the comments but was pleasantly surprised to see how they were handled (pun intended.) The narrator's Tourette like moments of referencing the villain are pure genius. Also, the word "ladyboy" amuses me more than I had expected. However, I think the Zelda, Dogma, the Game - and most importantly, Monty Python - references are not so over the top. I think some or all these may be missed by more immature viewers, and this may be reflected in the score, which I would rate much higher. This does not lack for talent, and for that it earns 5/5. I will concede that animation could be tweaked some, but I am primarily interested in content, so I consider it 9 worthy. I rarely laugh out loud watching submissions, but this did the trick. I anxiously await a sequel.

Did You Hear That?

"Unique!"

submission: Did You Hear That?
date: June 1, 2009

I enjoy collabs to begin with, but this was a truly inventive plan to organize and create a theme. I really enjoyed watching so many artists each create their own work, yet there was some consistency for certain sounds. The duck, for example, ends up being a running joke through the whole collab without having been planned. Also, I enjoy anyone using the Doom door sound effect simply because I have fond memories of the game. I would really love to see another sound effects collab, or whatever else you might have rolling around upstairs. Thank you for a fine submission!

This is a great review. Thank you so much!
I too loved how the duck kind of stuck throughout. Duck and eagle. It was one of the other all the time :)

Ultra Sheriff - Nemesis

"The excellence of execution."

date: May 29, 2009

This was an amazing movie. The music and animation were both superb. However, I am rating this as highly as possible due to the incredible synch between the action and the flow of the music. I cannot wait to see more from you and congratulations on your work.

Delete Asap

"Simply amazing!"

submission: Delete Asap
date: May 19, 2009

The story here is creative and poignant. Philosophically, I find "fighting against others with one's emotions" a powerful metaphor. I'm studying psychology and was not at all surprised to find that denial, as in real life, is one of the most effective defenses against emotional attacks. The artwork is beautiful and the music is atmospheric. Also, the E.Y.E.'s ability to see what Vanguard cannot and the name Vanguard itself both carry philosophical weight. I cannot wait to see a sequel to this, since you left the possibility open. I know you put a great deal of thought and effort into this and I applaud you.

Meet'N'Fuck Detective RPG

"Best in the series!"

date: May 8, 2009

Well, I have to say the author has a lot to live up to after this latest game. With more girls than any previous game in the series, the bar's been set high. The length of the game was great, and I enjoyed meeting the girls and receiving items to unlock conversations with other girls. Overall, a fantastic addition to the series.

The Shining

"Movie cuts off"

submission: The Shining
date: March 31, 2009

I am interested in the updated storyline you've created, but it ends abruptly after they come back up from the cellar and loops to the opening credits. Perhaps you can break this movie up into parts so we can see the rest of it? Thank you for a great submission so far!

Ra and Nut

"Ancient Egypt FTW!"

submission: Ra and Nut
date: March 6, 2009

I rarely see anything related to mythology here, but since I'm an Egyptologist, I'm delighted to see this flash. Your explanation, I think, will help people to see that you didn't simply "make this up." It is part of the Ancient Egyptian mythos. Kudos!

Ninjas the animated serie

"I want to see the next episode!"

date: February 28, 2009

I do not care if the "revenge" plot has been done before, b/c "person A getting revenge because of what person B has done" has been happening for millennia. It's what you do with the plot to bring the characters to life that matters. I think animation can almost always be improved upon, but the dialogue was crisp and to the point, letting the action do the work. I enjoyed it and way to leave us wondering what will happen next!

to:all

yes i did intend for the plot to be super cliché and cheesy. and it going to continue that way..(or will it?) idk yet but for those of you who complained about the graphics (on something that is essentially a stick figure animation no less) the next episode will be graphically enhanced. none the less the series promises to be epic

-thanks for the comments
