"Best part of the three"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt3)

date: October 28, 2008

This final part was awesome and deffinatly my favorite of the three. The nuclear attacks looked great, very well animated, especially how the cars and pieces were flying everywhere. I´m sure that must have been diffecult to animate. Also nice how the whole landscape of the movie turns from pretty normal to a burning wasteland which was again very well made.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I´m looking forward to episode 2. I hope you already finished it in those 4 years and will submit it soon, although I don´t really expect it. Anyways, congrats with all the well deserved awards and I´m sure you´re gonna at a few weekly to them as well tomorrow. Added this last one to favorites as well, keep up the excellent work.

"Also very nice, but pt 1 was better"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt2)

date: October 27, 2008

This part seemed to be relatively short compared to pt1 and the teaser. I´m really starting to get curious about the girl. She barely spoke so far and you don´t know that much backgroundstory about her yet, beside that she likes surfing and is about to lose her family. I do hope that we´ll get to know her a bit better in the third part.

Anyway, the graphics were once again mindblowing. I must say that backgrounds seem to be your specialty. They always look just a bit better than the animated stuff on the foreground in my opinion. The special effect with the EMP in the sky was nicely made by the way, and so was the car accident.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I liked the first part a bit more than this part to be honest. I think this part could have been more exciting if that girl, Sarah, did not seem to be so relaxed. She even stopped for the red light, I mean come on :p Who would stop for a red light when missiles or whatever are heading your way? This still deserves a 10 though. I´m looking forward to watching the third part (and final part of the first episode?). Also added this one to favorites.

"Finally"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt1)

date: October 27, 2008

After that very promising teaser you submitted 4 years ago, perhaps the most promosing teaser on Newgrounds ever, I was worried that you gave up on this project. I´m pretty relieved to see that you haven´t. This first part of the first episode was once again awesome with excellent graphics and you´re really good with creating the right atmosphere.

Interesting how you linked some elements in the story with things that happened in reality. I´m wondering if that was actually your plan from the beginning, since I believe there was nothing about America vs Iran or something in the teaser.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. This first part seemed to be more of an intro. Not that much action yet and as in the teaser, not much backgroundstory about the girl. But it was awesome still. I´m off to watch the second part, added this one to favorites.

"Not bad"

submission: Smiley chess

date: October 20, 2008

The game was pretty well made. Graphics were pretty good, nothing too spectacular but everything looked nice. A bit more animation when a piece is taken or when pieces are moving would be nice, but not really necessary. The music was pretty good as well in my opinion. Nice battle themed music which suited the game quite well. Some sounds when pieces are taken would be nice though.

As for the bad parts: It was already mentioned before by other users, the angle of view was very annoying. It really gave me trouble to see where my pieces were and when they were in danger. So I suggest you put the angle right behind the board or something since it gives us a much better overview of the board.

Also you could beat the computer in 4 moves if you were lucky, so I suggest you make sure that the computer always does one standard move first which prevents us from winning this way. Putting the pawn in front of the king one step forward for example.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Could be better, could be worse. I´d focus on fixing those two bad parts that I, and a lot of other users, mentioned. If you could improve those, you could have an award winner here.

"Simple and entertaining"

submission: Pointless Platformer

date: August 17, 2008

At first I wasn´t expecting much of the game. You´ll probably agree with me that it doesn´t have great, mindblowing graphics and it all looked a bit unproffesional to me. But it was suprisingly entertaining I must say and it kept me amused until the end of the game. All those things you wrote at the background were lots of fun to read and I think that´s why this game kept my attention. The music was a bit weird, but a nice tune still. I think it suited the game well.

As for what to improve. I can´t think of much personally. I mean, sure the graphics aren´t good, but improving on them would only make the game worse I think. There are only a few minor glitches, like I was able to stand halfway in certain platforms and when I hit the ceiling it seemed like I was floating for a while. These weren´t big problems though and I don´t think they really need to be fixed.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. I guess this game proves that games don´t need awesome graphics and great gameplay to be entertaining. It was very simple and yet a lot of fun too play. I´m glad to see that a lot of other NG´ers agreed with me and gave you a daily second award. Congrats with that, and keep up the excellent work.

"Good first episode"

submission: I.E.S. ep.1

date: August 2, 2008

Yes, to be honest I was hoping to see FF Jailbreak 2. But I think this could become a very good and entertaining series as well. This first episode was pretty good in my opinion and did put a smile on my face at some points.

I am glad that you added some subtitles since it did make a lot easier for me to follow the movie. Not that I couldn´t hear what was said or anything, because the sound quality was decent enough. Voice-acting was pretty good as well, I saw that you had some trouble with getting new voice-actors for this movie and I´m glad that you found some good ones. The graphics were once again great, although the animation lagged a little at some points (during the tree-scene for example), but I guess I´ll just have to turn the quality down there...

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. A good first episode like I said, and I can´t wait to see episode 2. I do hope that you´re gonna finish FF Jailbreak someday though, since the Day Care and Jailbreak episodes were one of my favorite series on NG. But I can also imagine that you prefer to start something new and that´s also fine with me. Anyways, keep up the excellent work and good luck with creating episode 2.

"Not bad"

submission: Ocarina of Stupidity II

date: July 28, 2008

It was not bad. The drawings were alright in my opinion and the voice-acting was decent too. The sound quality was actually pretty good in some cases. I also liked the fact that you added the TP Goron City theme somewhere in between, it´s one of my favorite Zelda themes actually so plus points for that.

As for what to improve. The drawings were alright like I said, but I think you could still improve a lot there. Especially try to focus on animating, cause most of it didn´t look very smooth. Also I think you need to speed the scenes up a little. For example, I think the stuff with the Goron could´ve been funier if the scene was a little shorter. The conversation with the Owl might have been better and funnier if you had switched the camera angle a few times.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. I liked it, but there´s still a lot to improve. Work a bit on the points I mentioned above and it might become a great series.

"Nice"

submission: factory balls

date: July 25, 2008

Interesting game. Required some thinking, but wasn´t too complicated. The lay-out was decent, but there´s still some room for improvement there. The music was alright too.

I think the game should have a few more features though. The only game mode right now was: Just see how far you can get. And since the balls weren´t picked randomly, you can beat the game in just a few tries since you´ll remember what to do in each level by then.

I think it would be nice if there was some sort of score system. I think time-based would be alright, you could make it something like you need to create 20 balls as fast as possible. Also, you could make a game mode were you have a certain amount of time to create 20 balls and the amount of points you get is equal to the amount of time you had left. If the timer runs out it´s game over. Kinda like a survival mode. Or, you could do something with the amount of steps needed to create 20 balls.

As you can see, there would be a lot of ways to add a score system in this game and it would certainly give the game some more replay value.

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. All in all it was a nice game, been a while since I last played a good puzzle game like this. Keep up the good work.

"Pretty good"

submission: Space Wing

date: July 21, 2008

I thought it was nicely made, although I've seen better versions of this game. The music was a bit typical for these sort of games, but it was nice. The graphics were okay too, but I´m not a big fan of things that are build out of 3D-shapes. What I liked a lot was the experience, HP and MP system which made it feel a bit like an RPG. What I did not really understand was those 2x, 3x etc. that appeared above those green things sometimes. It probably was a multiplier for your points but I did not know how to increase or decrease that multiplier. It just seemed random to me =/

As for the bad parts; The first thing that annoyed me was the white stripes in the background. In the beginning it looked a lot like enemy fire to me, so I kept trying to dodge it and then I found out it didn't do any damage if I got hit by it. It seems like I'm not the only one who got confused there, looking at the review below me. I suggest you turn them into dots or something instead.

Secondly, later on in the game the field got a lot busier which made the game lag a lot. I don´t know if there´s anything you can do about it, but if you can please do.

And last, I think stage 6 was supposed to be the final boss battle, right? This guy had WAY too much HP in my opinion. I was kept firing at him for ±15 minutes and got his HP down to about 55% I think =/ And it wasn´t even diffecult to dodge his attacks, even after he went through his attack pattern 3 times I still had about 80% of my own HP left. The most diffecult part there was actually to have that much patience and I guess I do not have that cause I decided to let myself die.

Then I found a bug, after I got myself killed the game just continued... The boss kept firing, the screen still moved, but my ship was gone and nothing happened. You might want to take another look at that.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. I think it was a nice timewaster and I kinda enjoyed it until the last boss. It could use a bit more improvement though. Perhaps you should take a lot at RaidenX to get some further ideas for this game.

"Great game!"

submission: Hedgehog Launch

date: July 1, 2008

It´s a great game, it´s quite addicting and lots of fun to play. Graphics are good and the music is pretty awesome. The story behind "trying to launch a hedgehog into space" was kind of funny too.

But what I think this game misses is a free-mode in which you can´t launch yourself into space, can fly as many times as you want and can get as high as you can. I think trying to gain a large amount of money in one run is more fun than actually trying to beat the game. You could make it so that money is changed into points after you have bought all the updates and you can compete for a high rank in a highscore list. In that highscore list you can implent many seperate lists such as: "highest amount of total points in one run", "highest elevation", "longest runtime" etc. Just an idea/suggestion.

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I had lots of fun with it like I said, but I really don´t like beating the game. It forces me to start all over again which makes it kinda feel like a game over :( I hope you´ll add those features I suggested. Keep up the excellent work.
