"Err, ooookay..."

submission: trippy (?) 3d (?) thingy

date: January 10, 2003

this might be pretty impressive coding, but this does not belong on the portal. People want to be enterteined by cool games, funny cartoons, stuff like that. Not some (kinda) 3D blue balls.

Score: 6

"Quick fun"

submission: Clay smash game

date: January 10, 2003

This game kept me entertained for approximately 21 seconds (which is half the time I'm taking for this review). Graphics were in clay fight style, which I like. Sounds were okay, not great. It could've used some sort of soundtrack maybe. Perhaps you rushed things a bit on the animation (a red tint tweening background is easier than a dying clay figure, although that would've looked much cooler). The game's concept isn't that great either, although it shows that you got quite some talent. Keep on practising both your animation and programming skills and you'll grow here on NG.

Score: 9

"Great story!"

submission: Making of Zelda Movie

date: January 10, 2003

This movie is great! Apart from the sublime story, I like your graphical style, it's really a style of your own which makes it special. The voices were pretty good and very understandable. It was good, clean fun watching this. And I'm willing to fund this movie so it can be produced after all ;-) Well done!

Score: 5

"could've been better"

submission: Zelda: Evil Link

date: January 9, 2003

As much as I like Zelda games and spoofs, this one falls into the 'not so good' category. First of all, the 'loading' sprites are not too clear. The sprites in the movie looked better. Sounds were ripped okay. The big fight with the GUARDS (not gaurds) was lazy, I'd like to see a huge fight on your new version. The in-between text frames looked awful (twisted Times and tweens all over the place). The story was a bit on the easy side (Link goes on a killing spree, Ganon kills Link, end). Altogether, with a bit more effort, this could've been a lot better. Try to compare your own movie to someone else's on NG, especially the ones on the Zelda spoof page. Learn, improve, impress!

Score: 6

"looks like marzipan's"

submission: VDrummer v1.5

date: January 9, 2003

actually it feels and sounds like marzipan's as well. anyway, this was a nice little gadget, too little to my taste. It could've used some riffs, maybe some songs to drum along to. it looks boring as it is now, and there are not a lot of options. try to extend on this. graphics are okay, sounds are clear.

Score: 4

"what a waste"

submission: USN - #1

date: January 9, 2003

you had quite a thing coming until you got to the ending. knowing that your ending sucks does not allow you to have a sucky ending. graphics were cool, voices sounded quite a lot the same for every character in the movie. not much was happening altogether. In short, I didn't like it, hated the ending, and won't come back to view this movie again.

Score: 6

"artsy"

submission: The Boot: The Sequel

date: January 8, 2003

Like I said: artsy. Quite strange though, it somehow reminded me of Monty Python. I'm not sure whether to like this movie or not. Graphics are original, music was hardly noticed. The story was quite entertaining, yet it has a weird feel. The black/white thing is what made this movie art-nouveau-ish. Well, it was okay, nothing more. I guess I'm just not into this type of movies.

Score: 8

"Har Har for sure"

submission: Monster madness

date: January 8, 2003

This was a pretty short movie, nevertheless it made me laugh. Especially when one would suspect the monster to drag daddy down under the bed with him, he smashes him against the screen. Make more of these, maybe even bundle them in one flash file because there are quite some people that don't like short movies. I do though, please keep these up and I'll be watching :)

Score: 9

"skobydop didn't work?"

submission: Gravity Ball 2

date: January 8, 2003

i played the game, beat it while losing only 1 or 2 balls altogether, so it could be a bit harder to my taste. I saw a review somewhere telling you this game was too hard, so, oh well, maybe that makes it just right ;) anyway, the music started working on my nerves (perhaps you could go for 1 longer soundtrack instead of 4 short ones). other than that, this game rocks. and the password in the end doesn't work, or so I think, I didn't take enough time to memorize it correctly =P I loved the hoops, the trash can and the fans (extra style points for that). The block's graphics were kinda sucky though. I had no "ball stuck" issues (lucky me). And i'm most definately looking forward to GB3!

Score: 8

"Great game!"

submission: Camera Killer

date: January 8, 2003

YEAH! Finally, my revenge at all those annoying flashpoles! I loved this game in all its simplicity! Only thing I missed were racing sounds and some background music. And the game is pretty hard as well. I never managed to hit two aligned flashing posts both. And the police stopped me before I even saw 'em :P Other than that, great game!
