falarinx's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[imagination escape]

Never had a penchant for puzzles

. . . but I'm not letting that prevent me from rating this fairly.

Pros
- I enjoyed the music
- The puzzles were challenging (though I can't say I figured them out on my own)
- The graphics were good
- I particularly liked that nothing stood out.
For example, in some games and especially in cartoons certain items appear 'highlighted' which detracts from the experience.
- Tab searching was not allowed

Cons
- It was 'short' because only a couple of puzzles led to the ending
- I was not thrilled with the aspect of how the objects were 'floating in the air'
If possible you could try making them movable on the ground. Depending on the weight and shape of the object it could be harder to budge and thus require a few tries to see if anything is behind (for example, the piano). Of course I realize that this might make it more difficult coding-wise.
- While the graphics were good they could use some polishing up

That is all I could come up with, overall I think that this was a good escape game.

Thanks a lot falarinx!

Ya it is a short game, looking at the responds I guess I should stop making things that too short like this ;p .
There is design issue with moving objects to side, especially with the toys scene so I'm getting idea of what if I just put a simple movement for all items...

Graphic wise, I'm advancing slowly :) .

Not bad

Suggestions:
1. Sound effects - When you hit someone have some sound go off. When you miss have a *swoosh* sound, maybe. Similar stuff. Depending on the different attacks have different effects.
2. Background music - I would like to have some music in the background, otherwise the flash is a little less interesting to play.
3. Ending Graphics - Instead of having a small "You won!" text at the bottom maybe having a cut scene involving the characters. Depending on who wins and loses the cut scene should be different.
4. Length - Make it longer. (Self-explanatory)
5. Items - Potions, different weapons, something? (Suggestion, not necessary)

These are some things I thought of that you could improve upon. I enjoyed it, although it was short. I hope you keep on making good things like this in the future.

Flash-monk responds:

Thank you very much for a long and good review!
I know! I really wanted to include sound effects! But, this game, were made out of the engine, so I only used five minutes to add the graphics. And it was just a test! You see, I am making a game, that is gonna be really big. I have a team of musicians and a graphic man. I am currently writing a script for the game, and making the engines for the game. I think it will be very long and VERY deep. Please check out on www.flashartists.net for updates on the game and other stuff i make:)

[The Big Christmas Game]

Little easy

The game was a little easy and the drawings could be improved upon. I say make it a little more challenging, a bit more harder, and improve the overall look of it and it would be better.

It was enjoyable though and I liked the background music.

TehYeh responds:

Thanks :) Were Making A second one as we speak will do all of the above and we really want to improve. Found the comment helpful :)
thanks, tehyeh.

[The Leicester CC Quiz]

Well ....

I find the music to be pleasant. Though I know nothing of the leicestershire foxes I decided to take the quiz anyway. Since I don't know anything about the team, I shall rate the flash based on presentation.

The overall look could be polished to be more presentable. The opening frame was alright. The wording could have been centered and the start button could have looked nicer.

Second, the questions. The answers could have been neatly centered and maybe look more presentable. There could have been a background.

The "You Lose" frame. The red text did not seem to go well with the green button. The buttons were a little bulky.

That is all.

Alayer responds:

Cheers mate. Its good tht u didnt just give it a 0 cos u didnt know the subject, but u gave a good review. I shall take those presentation matters into my next flash ;)

Excellent game

Haven't played it through yet, but first time I ran it the text did not match up with the voices. Turned down the effects and graphics, text was still out of sync. Will play through later. Everything else seemed to run fine.

Krinn responds:

Noted. This will be fixed later this week!

Have fun!
