[Contraption 2D: V6 ~Beta]

old concept flashed!

you need to fix the momentum of the ball so when it's moving foward and drops, it doesnt lose that foward momentum. thats just not how gravity works.

other then thay, brilliant concept based on an old game from the early 90's. will be wating this designer eagerly to see what he makes.

I know only now, in 2010. But it's too late, as I don't have the source fla now [:(

[You Have To Lose]

hmm.

Ok, I dont mind reviewing works that are "out there", but when someone says "this game is about the message" Then there better damn well be a
message. And it better be somthing that we dont already know.

giving people a message that you can win or lose is like saying theres day or night. dont try to do the obvious things, try teaching us somthing.

now, as for the game itself. i break the 10 points up into sub catagories- originality, sound, gameplay, storyline and graphics. tahts a total of 2 points per item.

Originality- 1 Platformers have been and gone, they need to be really good
to stand out.

Sound- 0 simply was none, so you scored zero

storyline- 0 again there was no storyline, just a message noone seems to
be able to figure out.

gameplay- 1 the gameplay itself was simple to control, however a lack of
depth of gameplay meant that you scored low .

graphics- 1 the graphics are too simplistic. walking around with a black
square is not eye catching nor entertaining. the level itself and
the doorway scored you one point.

so, all in all, a fairly poor effort. I think you can do a lot better, and dont let these bad reviews put you off- learn from your mistakes, and come back with a new, fresh game- I will be waiting.

[Madness Maker]

hmm....

not a bad idea, really, but your no where near as good as krinkel, so don't try to be.just go do your own stuff, then people wont judge you beside krinkel- they will judge you by you.

rexfreakzoid responds:

i dont get wat you just said. nobody is as good as Krinkel and this my first madness vid and its not even a video.

[Panorama Experimentation]

hmm....

I am going to give this one a semi decent score... for a few reasons.
first off, i am assuming that you intended this to be a experiment to lead into somthing else, for example, a mystery game where you have to look for clues and interact more so then just clicking buttons. also because it showcased some of the potential for flash.
as for the game.... the game would have been better if there was an end to it. I got sick of it eventually as it looked like there was no end, so i gave up.
maybe next time you try to do somthing like this, or for anyone else who does, maybe try to do a little mystery based game around it.

random12395 responds:

mystery based. sounds interesting! as for the game it was only meant 2 be a mini game that you'd play for a short time. the goal was to reach the max level as quick as you can... then if ya want you can keep playing. so yes there really wasn't and end!

only problem is i dont have access to a server to save high scores which would have made it more competitive, ill look into that for the next one

thanks
