[[HM]Star Boy : Pirate]

uh huh

You get a pitty star.

Waste of time. I'm glad you know how to make an outline over jpegs and move them around. At least the script was good. Oh wait, it wasn't. Nothing was solid.

PirateSprite responds:

Cool! Sweet! Great! A Five star review!

[That will be $1.99 sir]

amazing

front page fo sho

maybe have the song be a lower quality just so it loads faster
and a preloader, maybe a silhouette of the guy, and the BOOM partay when it's done loading

simply amazing

[Newgrounds Blamming]

Nice work

It looks nice. It's funny. And it's long for the file size. It's just downright amazing for the file size. Good work. ...maybe try the vocal track again? Most of it was good, but you just didn't sell it all of the way. Whatever, I still liked it.

PostTimeskipSam responds:

Thanks, I was too amazed by the file size. I tried that just when the file is on the main timeline all the S's get buzzy. Don't know why?

[Orange Runner]

Entertaining for one go through.

Really just too simple. Entertaining in concept, but there were only maybe 5 different facets to the game: blades, batteries, races, speed, and health. After the first race I felt like I was just in for more of the same.

Definitely a good first flash game. No doubt about that.
And put some music and the main title screen.

Maxwelldoggums responds:

Yeah, sorry... you kind of are. I was focusing on simplicity when I began writing it.

[Bloons Tower Defense 2]

Good -- for a flash game.

Not being able to deselect is just annoying. By this, I mean the vast number of times where I think I'm going to need a road spike and end up not using it, only to have my cursor stuck as a road spike. Thankfully I never accidentally placed one.

Also, many towers seem to glitch while attacking. Even though it's rare, it's still annoying when a bomb flies but never lands the big hit that you needed, or when the 8 way dart thing just hits two or three balloons instead of the bigger promises.

Just not acceptable if it's actually going to take some strategy. Fun overall, though.

[ButtonHunt]

Great job not

Putting down other races is so cool. Why don't you wise up.

The game was nifty though. I liked it.

[Knowing Hope]

Yeah..

It's not that it's bad. The pad in the background sounds nice.
But the beat is really cut and paste. The first sign of an uninspired song is over half of it having the bass on every beat. Kinda boring. And the hat did not diversify enough.

I as well did not find the beep to be the best choice for the instrument for the melody. It was okay, though.

And overall, I like the mix. Not bad for that.
Keep at it.

Zump responds:

Thank you for the tips! I'll try to use these to enhance my music in the future.

[Dynamite]

Good direction

Some good ideas but VERY sloppy transitions from part to part. And you layered some tracks without having them in time. Build the song piece by piece and pay attention to detail the first time through and you should be ok. And the mix isn't very good at some points. Jumps in volume for no reason from instrument to instrument.

Keep at it. Potential, I see.

dj-rodster responds:

aright ill keep that in mind thnx

[Smokestack (feat. Evan Hinkle)]

decent

the guitar sounds too...smokey. which may be what you were goin for, but it either needed to be more crisp or more cloudy sounding. u shoulda synthed the sound of the guitar a bit, probably. i did like the snare drum though. sounded pretty nice, but probably only cause i play percussion. all together, not bad, but sounded like a semi-failed attempt at making a piece for the original half life soundtrack.

Gillenium responds:

Hmm, I don't see how it relates to Halflife at all.. but I'll take your word on it. The guitar sounds too smokey... did you read the title of the song? Glad you liked the precussion!
