Kayol's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Big Fat Tutorial]

I learned something new today!

I found it amazing how beautiful a background could be with a few vectored images tweened together. Graphic appeal and a fraction of the file size.

Graphics: 8

Although the camera panning was about the only thing new to me, I ACTUALLY understood it, ever thought of being a teacher? I thought I'd get bored but I was intertained throughout.

Style: 8

Sound was great although annoying after awhile but you saved yourself by having a nice selection to cycle.

Sound: 7

Except for the plane crash I don't think there was any violence

Violence: 4

Thanks for the actionscript

Interactivity: 10

Love those fairies!

Humor: 6

Helbereth responds:

Yeah the whole fraction of the file size thing ought to be helpful. I', surprised more people don't do so for their movies seeing as how it's so versatile, and yet so simple.

Yes for about a month I entertained the idea of being a teacher. It's something I might pursue later in life, but I'll have to get over my innate distaste for adolescent attitudes before that happens.

Yeah I wanted the music kept to a video game remix theme, so I figured having a fair number of them would save me from getting too many bad sound reviews. Besides, I had already made a number of the loops a while back (the Shadowrun and great faerie themes are the only loops I constructed specifically for this tutorial).

The plane crash was just fun to make. It's a sight gag meant to draw a laugh in the middle of boring exposition. If you look close at the burning wreck, the scene is a bit more gory than you might believe when you first look (it's possible to pause it during the credits to zoom in).

I barely grasp the basic concepts of action script. It'll be slow going for me in that department mostly because I have this tendency toward disorder - a bad trait to have when doing any programming.

Yeah the Faerie Mafia were another sight gag that I added to keep people's attention span in check. Originally I was going to have camera shakes, but after trying it a few times with no real success I just made the text bounce around. BTW the fact that I used red green and blue for the faerie colors is not just because they're the primary colors of light. I may be putting Link to work at some point...

Anyway, thanks for the itemized review!

Awful

First its repeatitive and lacks deeply in graphic style. The game is also stolen although I've I post the link to the site here I would be posting an abusive review. The sound almost put me to sleep and basically it was to easy to get to each level. The instructions button doesn't work. If you like simple shooters this is one of them, I don't know how it made it past judgement but here it is. With a score of 1.70/5.00 your better off playing one of NG's good shooter games. After all it doesn't take much to rip stuff out of a FLA tut now does it? ...no it doesn't. I think that says it all.

i diddnt "rip" the game off of a flash tutorial.

[Merail 1: Origins]

Very Original, can't wait for part 2!

Wow, that was awsome and I'm not just giving you a good review because my name is credited in the audio. I thought each character was developed and the whole thing was orginal. It was very interactivity and stylish for part 1 and I suggest you give this a try.

BTW: Please check my profile for great audio and sound loops.

GreenPhat responds:

Thanks for the review man and thanks for the great audio.

TomokoSasaki responds:

[Pico 1.5 Demo]

Lots of bugs

There are many sound bugs, like double looping annoying background music. Many spelling errors and boring insults that are ment to be funny although the effort only proves to me how unfunny the author really is. The animation is anything but that. Why? Because animation requires more than still art drawing. The teacher had about as much animation as a row of lockers. None of the characters had any purpose or likeness as that of the true NG mascots.

Overall this demo was awful.
