OrangePylon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[How to draw Luigi]

Not really suited for flash.

Alright, I'll start off with saying that it was a pretty good tutorial. But this simply isn't a flash. Not for NewGrounds, anyway. This would be better suited for your own website or something, or maybe uploading it to any other site that doesn't go by a scoring system that compares this to other flashes with effort put into them. I'm not saying you're lazy, I mean this is all that was required, but it's not like you lost sleep over the matter. =/

I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this. It's hard to critique something like this. I can't offer room for improvement because frankly, it's a good tutorial, but it's better suited as a book or something... But now I'm just repeating myself, so I suppose I'll leave you with that and have a happy new year.

What you say is true, but I'm sure some people out there wants to learn were ever possible, Hopefully this will help those people out, but I'll try harder next time. ^_^

[The Brawl Quiz III]

Ooo, ouch.

Everyone seems to be giving this a high score just because it's Brawl-related. Being a Flash author I have to rate the Flash for what it is and what it is ain't much... It's a gradient effect background with some text and no sound effects other than the music that doesn't loop.

I know it's pretty hypocritical of me to rate this poorly when I've made my own video game quiz of even lower quality, but I was a n00b back then, as we all were once. Looking back on it now I'd probably rate mine even lower than this one.

Anyway, most of the questions were pretty good, but some were kind of unclear. Like the differences between Link and Toon Link... what do you qualify as differences? Are you counting their looks/name or just their moveset? Also, some of the questions were WRONG. Donkey Kong wasn't announced on the 27th, check it yourself... Infact, NO character was announced on the 27th... that update was the Banana Peel... And Brawl came out in Japan on January 31st, not the 1st. I noticed 31st was an option so I'm guessing that was just a mix-up in coding.

I quickly looked at the first one and there's not much improvement here other than difficulty levels. My point is, try polishing up your Flashes a little before submitting, I've made the same mistakes as you so I know...

In conclusion, it's of really poor quality, but it's a good start for your coding skills and I'd like to see a cleaned-up version of this... sorry if I came off as an ass, just trying to help! <:)

HellBentGoose responds:

Ummm...trying to compare your old flash to mine doesn't really help in the slightest, your just trying to make yourself sound nicer.

Donkey Kong WAS announced on the 27th; check the dojo yourself.
Yeah, could've been messed up in the coding; my bad.
Link and Toon Link; EVERYTHING could be a difference, I just wasn't counting a certain criteria (looks, swords, etc.).

I kind of liked the gradient effect, and it's MUCH better than a blank bg, so props are due.

Thank you. I'm not much of a coder and I don't intend to be, as some people I know use coding just for about everything. I'm more of a natural person who likes to do things the old-fashioned way; hard work.

Thanks anyways for the review!

PS- There might be a 4th one, I just need a bunch of questions.

[Space Invaders Extreme]

Classic, and way underrated

I found the game mecanics fantasic... I always sucked at it, but it's still fun. I was still able to make it to the end, and beat the mother ship. Love the Congradulations screen. :P Everything looked great, though they were sprites, they were still awesome. While some of the hand-drawn stuff seemed out of place (namely the pylon), it all pulled together and was a really enjoyable experience.

It's a shame that it appears all the smart NewGrounders are doing easter things today and all the retards were left to review this game. My only suggestion would be some ships move to fast, you said that some move the same speed of the cannon, but if thats true you can't catch up with them, although I see how that can work if you're on the left side. Maybe those should only be in the later levels, adding a different kind of difficulty other than needing a higher score.

But my complaints would definatly have to be that space invaders are WAY to weak, and the numbers are totally broken. Hope that my not-elaborating helps you fix your game. -.-

Nerd-02 responds:

Thanks it took a lot of time and energy to write the script for that screen, wonder how many people saw it? And I guess I'm going to need a pylon sprite lol. I was thinking of making the enemies in the latter levels move faster but I wanted everyone to be blown away from the first level and not play the easy first level vote 0 assuming the later levels are the same.

Oh and don't worry i have given steroids to space invaders and the numbers have been sent away to be fixed. It's ok not to explain yourself, you see, I can read minds as well as speak idiot. tankz 4 teh revew lonz lawl :p

[VG Trivia Challenge]

Dammit!

Aww man! I'd made a video game-millionaire flash, but only revolving on the nintendo wii (wiilionaire), and you just made me look like a piece of crap! :^( THIS IS A GREAT GAME!!!!!!! damn...

Wiilionaire...clever ;) Glad you thought it was good...sad to see that it made you upset though ;)
