"Eh."

submission: The Presidential Race

date: September 2, 2004

The computer gets a bit of an advantage because you have to have your hand on the mouse when the game starts, so it gets a head start.

I lost on the second state on my first race... Then I got into the swing of things, and won pretty easily. Of course, I have a split "ergonomic" keyboard, so my g and h keys are pretty far apart. I think if I was on a normal keyboard, I'd have a disadvantage.

The Kerry impression isn't bad, but the bush impression - Well, it's the right attitude, but the voice is wrong.

Score: 8

"Hmm. How will this fare on NewGrounds?"

submission: ILoveEgg Special-EggSong

date: September 2, 2004

It's very cute, and very childrens songish. We'll see if the newgrounds public will appreciate it. I do, but then, I've loved the iloveegg series for a long time.

Score: 9

"I love egg! And I love I love egg!!!"

submission: I Love Egg ep.11

date: September 2, 2004

This is the best yet! And at the same time, I never thought i love egg would ever get this violent. But somehow, it's all the funnier for it! Fantastic. Now I have to go check out the special iloveegg song.

Yay!

Score: 3

"Holy cow!"

submission: This Movie May Scare You

date: September 2, 2004

Dude, you have GOT to optimize your sound! I thought the review I just read was being too harsh - but yeah, 5 megs? For THAT??? The whole thing is what, ten seconds? There's NO good reason for that. You really really need to optimize the sound. This shouldn't have been more than about 300k. I gotta vote low because of the sheer size of it.

Score: 3

"Awexome Cross, anyone?"

submission: Gerbil Jump

date: September 2, 2004

This game is a bit too much like Awexome Cross for my tastes - It's possible you've never played awexome cross, but still... Very similar.

Anyway, not bad. Just... not completely original.

Score: 6

"Wow, not bad. It could still use something, tho"

submission: T-bot Beta

date: September 2, 2004

It's loading... Woohoo... It's loading. This is a strange habit I have sometimes - I'll start writing the review before the movie/game has finished loading. Heck, it gives me something to do. No worries - I won't actually start reviewing it until I've seen it, but -- Oh, it's done loading. I'mmah play it now.

Hey, not bad! I played all the way through. I'd say a couple of things.

Firstly, the game lags a bit, and I've got a reasonably fast machine here - I had to drop the quality to low to get it to not lag when there were more than one laser on the screen.

Secondly - Nice animation and graphics! I like them. Good work.

Thirdly - It's bloody annoying when you fall off the edge. I couldn't figure out what to do from there. I think that should outright kill you, or there should be a way out when you've fallen down. Maybe there is, and I just didn't see it.

Fourthly - In general, the game is a bit boring. Dodging the lasers is all well and good, but it's pretty limited. There maybe should be more stuff to jump over (land mines, perhaps? Running robot bugs?), a duck option, to duck flying projectiles or something, etcetera. I kind of like the fact that you don't go out to blow stuff away, but at the same time, it would add more interest if you did have to shoot something... Anyway, its too easy. I got through the game pretty easily on my first try, once I figured out how to play it.

Ooh, that's something that would be handy - so

Fifthly - a button you can press that would pop up a reference card for how to play - stuff like "press down at an exit to exit" and "press shift to freeze time". Yeah.

Sixthly - It would be nice if you had some sort of visual cue that you were being damaged, other than the meter counting down - like your body glows green, or something.

This is far from sucking. I could see this being a great game with some more work. Good job, please keep working on it!.

Score: 6

"It's relatively original, except..."

submission: .-.Windows Xp.-.

date: September 2, 2004

It's relatively original, except for the stick figure fighting bit - which is pretty standard stuff. Some suggestions:

A preloader. It sucks not knowing when to press play - on my browser, it's not always clear when a flash movie has loaded.

When the virus warning pops up, I think it would be better if the dialog box had a "disinfect?" button, and the stick guy looked up, and tried frantically to jump high enough to press the button, but failed.

Once the "ninja death virus" arrived, it would be better if it looked more ninja-like... With a vague suggestion of a ninja outfit, and maybe it could throw some ninja stars, or drop down on a rope, or something. Some unneccesary jumps and flips would be cool too, and I think add some humor.

Some easter eggs would be cool - Like if you clicked on an icon, a window might open up, and he'd have to interact with that window... Of course, that might get very complex, but it would ROCK if done right.

I'd definitely like to see you continue working on this - yes, the stick fighting thing has been done to death, but this is an original concept. Don't fall into the trap of just having it be fight after fight in different areas of windows... Have the guy interact with windows in different ways, and add more humor, I think that's the way to go with this. So far so good - Keep it up!

Score: 8

"Absolutely the best flash under 15k that I've seen"

submission: squares game

date: September 2, 2004

Wow, great job! It's very simple, and I'd love it more if it had some sound effects, little ones... blips would be appropriate, perhaps an ambient sound. Anyway, even without the sound effects, it's a good game. I've seen other similar games, but none quite like this. And to make a great, simple game under 15k is the best of all. Good job!

Score: 6

"That's pretty cool. Some suggestions."

submission: Clean your room!

date: August 30, 2004

I'd love to see an animated intro, showing the mom yelling, the closet getting stuffed, and exploding. That'd be cool.

I've seen games with similar gameplay before, but this one has an original "room cleaning" twist to it. Cool. I'd love it if the score and timer were larger, easier to spot right away, easier to read at a glance.

More music would be nice... Different music for different levels, perhaps.

OVerall, it's a good solid game. It's not getting blammed, that's for sure. You could make it better and more solid, though.

Last comment - I don't even wanna think about cleaning that box out later. Old socks, mixed with pizza, books, hats and footballs (this guy has a hell of a football collection, by the way - MAN that's a lot of footballs - most people only have one or two, if that)... All of which has been BLOWN UP several times. That box is full of a disgusting mess. Ew.

Score: 5

"A little disappointing"

submission: Foamy - EXTREME

date: August 30, 2004

I wanted to see Foamy get in on some mortal kombat style fighting - that's what I was expecting. It was pretty funny, though, unexpected, etcetera. Not bad.
