"Great song, bland visually."

submission: Weird Al's Lasagna

date: December 20, 2009

I really like the song, and I really like Weird Al, so don't get me wrong. The video was fairly well done, but it was just really boring. Most of the video is the chef lip syncing whatever the song is talking about to the guy. Nothing else really happens, and I just got this visually bored feeling, in comparison to the very interesting song.

I mean, you animated it well and you had the idea, but I just felt you could have made it a bit more interesting, and it was really very average the whole way. I don't exactly understand why this has a 9.5 average score; people seem to be voting on the song instead of the actual flash.

Score: 7

"WharblGbarbl"

submission: Dale & Peakot

date: December 4, 2009

That's very easy to say, Greenfox, except if the player happens to be left handed.

The game looked very fun and from what I could play, I really liked, but it's impossible to play this while using the mouse left-handed and very, very difficult for me to use my right hand for the mouse. I basically can't play it, and while I realize the overwhelming majority of people are right handed, adding a second set of commands for movement, like most other flash games, would not have been a hard addition to make and would have made the game accessible to left handed people as well.

To be fair, I'm giving a 7, since it did look like a good game even if I wasn't able to play it very far.

Score: 10

"Music"

submission: Communist in Space

date: November 14, 2009

The fucking Red Army Choir intro music deserved the 10.

My goodness, I didn't think I would ever hear that again.

The game was quick, short, and simple, and was pretty entertaining while it lasted.

Score: 9

"Comparitively Weak, but Brilliant"

submission: Jerry: The End

date: November 3, 2009

Spoiler Warning.

I loved this series and each of the episodes had some continuity but qualities that set them apart from other episodes. Jerry's dad had great voice acting, it was animated very fluently, and overall it was just well done.

The biggest issue I had with this one, though, was the "It was just a dream" cliche. In just a few seconds, every event that had happened in the previous episodes was pretty much destroyed of their meaning. I could have only watched this video, and I honestly wouldn't have missed much at all.

Other than that, there isn't a lot to witness with this 18MB behemoth of a flash movie. We find out how Jerry's mom died, and how Jerry met Jackie.

The reason I give this a 9, despite the negative criticism, is that the film is only weak when compared to other episodes in the series. Standalone, it's a very strong film, and it will appeal to just about everyone. Very well produced.

Score: 7

"Great, but theres a glitchy cap"

submission: Typo-Negative

date: October 23, 2009

I had a lot of fun with this, and on the second attempt, I got to 7400 something. Twofold problems with getting that far.

1) So many letters come out at a time, there are powerups all over the place, and you have a lot of time to pick out one (since it's so laggy). Why is that a problem?

I just pick out a "freeze" word, freeze the words, and quickly type out how many I need to pass that level (the amount you need to pass a level, and the length of the words you are typing seem to never change, so as long as you can get one freeze powerup a level, and type out enough words, you can pass indefinitely.)

2) Judging by my own experiences, and some of the other reviews, after a while the game stops working. I haven't been able to get much higher than 6000 before my powerups act all weird, and then by 7500 it's usually froze inbetween levels.

Those two things will put off really good typers, who are probably the ones who would most enjoy the game, but for everyone else, it's a very fluid, very well put together game based on an old concept. I had fun with it.

Score: 6

"Emm"

submission: Colour My World

date: October 19, 2009

I'm kinda with DJ on this one. The actual "gaming" value of it was next to nothing. That's sometimes OK with games if they have really strong plots, or really deep meanings, things of that nature. However, it was all very cheesy and the ending was very lackluster. It's just, the point it was trying to make was really shallow.. it's like something a 16 year old would make about how much he loved his GF, long before he realized that true love is nonexistant, since humans are imperfect and we tend to just "settle" for each other, lest we spend the rest of our lives alone.
However, I think the music was very fitting (although I much preferred the music that was used in the other flash you made).

Breaking it down...

-Graphics: The graphics are very plain, which could fit with the theme, but the fact that it's just in black and white, and STAYS almost entirely in black in white even though the name is "Colour My World" was just a little lazy. At the end, at least, you could have at least added a bit.

-Music: Fits very well, does a great job holding it's own and fitting with the theme.

-Plot: What plot? By not giving much of a plot at all, it seems we're supposed to get the impression that the plot is something rediculously deep, but it really isn't. It's just an idiot doing rediculous things for "love." That's not saying love isn't plotworthy or interesting, I just found it in this context to be rather lousy.

It's a little gizmo people will spend a couple of minutes playing, get some sort of reaction from it, and as soon as they put it out of their mind they'll forget all about it.

Regardless, thanks for the contribution, and I hope to see you improve.

Score: 4

"Emm"

submission: |~Puzzatales!~|

date: October 14, 2009

I really don't see what people find so innovative about this.
It's short, looping puzzles with super-cheesy cutscenes in the middle (the other way around.)

"Bear my cubs?" That might be funny if it wasn't just so damn weird.

I'm sure this is going to be downrated as unhelpful, since when somebody doesn't agree with the majority's opinion they almost automatically get downrated, but I don't think that makes this any less valid.

I mean, you animate pretty well and you seem to know how to run flash pretty well, I just feel you could have done a lot more than a generic-animated puzzle game with some really uninspired cutscenes. That's the word that comes to my mind, it just all seemed a little uninspired, I guess.

Still, thanks for contributing.

Score: 4

"Blagh"

submission: The Disney Collab

date: October 4, 2009

I'll go as far as to say nearly all of the submissions were really bad, and the first flash (Oh my God my anus is bleeding for no reason lololol XD) really set the standard for the rest. There was really no amount of wit here.

I only found one to be enjoyable was the Hades-Ryuuk one by Comick, which was admittedly pretty good.

Score: 6

"Blagh"

submission: Time Fcuk

date: September 27, 2009

Eh, I found it to be a rather poor game with an attempt to make it "more than a game" through the time travel gimmick. I didn't find the game itself very appealing for long, and the referencing older rooms and forshadowing future ones got old quick. The map editor is nice and being able to play other's maps is nice, along with the "custom campaign" thingy mabob, but overall I didn't enjoy it. I played the game until the end to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything, and I really wasn't.

Score: 9

"It needed more traps or loli."

submission: Pokemon: Pee Red Version

date: July 10, 2009

The voice acting was actually really good, and the jokes were pretty good as well.

Really nice all around.
