[Butt Scan]

\m/

Great game! Simple and sooo addictive! :)
The idea that you had a different picture for each successfull butt-scan was quite nice and it made the game less repititive ;) .

The graphics are very good and the animations are very smooth. The sounds are good, too.

There's really no advice I can give you here as this game is perfect as it is now ^^.

[A How to of Preloaders]

\m/

I liked your prealoader ^^.

Well, the main menu looks quite nice, but you should choose a darker colour for the text, as it is quite hard to read. It's a good thing that the text turns black when one hovers the mouse over it.

It's nice that you provided us with a mute button, as it can be quite annoying to listen to the same songs over and over again. But why did the first song always starts again whenever I click the "next" button, even though I turned it off the previous frame? You should try to fix that.

The layout of this tutorial is quite good. However, it would be a good idea if you'd name the single "steps", so that it will be easier to go to the chapter one was looking for. "Step 1, Step2, etc." aren't that helpful when looking for information about a specific theme.

What hurts this tutorial the most is the small text. It's really hard to read in combination with the font you chose. So either add an easier to read font or make the text bigger.

I see yor point. I wanted the Step selcectio to Sync with the step, so on every individual step the song would start. I am not an expert on that subject, so it was a bit makeshift. I put the tutorial under the pretense that you watched it beofre so if you were to select form a scene, then you would like to go to a specific step.
I will fix the text next time.
Thanks for your review.

[=Simple Button Tutorial=]

\m/

It's quite a good tutorial and you managed to write it in an "entertaining" way. I appreciate your effort as it seems that most tutorials (not necessarily flash tuts) are mostly quite boring.

However, the flash gives out a very "messy" impression.
I think it would be better to put the buttons in the main and sub menu on the right side of the text. This way all the buttons would be lined up pretty well and it would look a lot less "messy".
I also missed some descriptions or images on your buttons, so that it would be obvious what a button does before I click it (the word "next" on the button that brings me to the next page would tell me exactly that even before I click the button). This would also help to "clean the flash up" a bit.
Then, a button that takes me straight back to the main menu would be a nice thing to have, too. This way I would have to click around so much, if I want to read "Making a button" and then "Action Script" after that for example.

So, the tutorial is quite helpful but it needs a better layout.

Thanks for the review. If I make another one, I'll do what you said about adding the buttons on a sub menu.

Again, thanks for the review.

First of all, I think I discovered a bug: The flash loaded, then I pressed "Play" and suddendly all the memes appeared on the screen and I was back at the start screen. Ok, so I pressed play again and then "begin" and the music started to play a second time.
So I had the song playing in the background twice.

Ok, to the flash:
Sometimes the text was in front of the image and thus was very hard to read. You should fix that by simply checking if the text is below the image.

I really don't know what this was all about and I couldn't be bothered to read all the text. The few things that I did read seemed to be quite funny, but I still don't know what this is about...

The filesize seems to be way too big. You just had some small and simple pictures and some text in this. So I guess the song you added pumped up the filesize. You should compress the audio more. You don't need to put the mp3 in 256kbps in there. 128 (or even 96kbps) are enough. This way you won't have such a big file.

Incorrect. It's AWESOME.

AWESOME.

[Newgrounds Abuse Or Not!]

Good

Good game. And very helpful, too. But the music got annoying quite fast (that's why only 9/10). You should add an option to turn the music off.

Oh, and I think you are wrong with Stamper's review. Sure, it is abusive, but reviews made from someone who belongs to the staff won't get deleted :P .

[D-Fence the Game...]

Nice

This game is really nice. But there are a few bugs here and there. For example the "airstrike-o-meter" was only working on the first level after I bought it. After that it wouldn't move an inch any more.
And I think the repair function in the menu is broken, too. I was at 2,000 below my max health and I repaired my base, but when the level started I was at 2,000 below my max again.
But that's only small bugs, and they don't spoil the party! Very nice defense game!

[Isometric style drawing]

Good tutorial

This is a good tutorial. Very helpful and with good examples. But it's WAY too big! Compress your audio better and you will have a much smaller file!

[SC Guitar Maniac Dx 2]

Great!

Really great game! My eyes hurt and I see big arrows everywhere... ^^ .
But sometimes the game laggs, so that I miss out on some arrows and I lose my mulitplier... but maybe it's just my crappy PC.
Anyways, that game is REALLY AWESOME!

[Wall Avoidance]

buggy

the game is really buggy... i click "Start Game", I run into a wall... I click "Start Over" and get the "Ahh, crap!" sound, meaning that I have lost... by clicking "Start Over"?
Ok, so I load the flash again, I click on "Start Game" and get the "Start Over"-screen immediatly? Fix the bugs...

[Zero vs X]

good for a first

it's pretty good for a first, but it needs a lot improvement.
Some kind of story would be nice, more Characters to choose from, a mp system and a balanced gameplay. Regular Attacks seem to do more damage than magic...
