[The Blue Button - Harder]

Not my favorite

"Button games" aren't exactly my favorite type of games. You really have to come up with something original to impress me with one of those.

I liked that you hid the button on a few frames, this WAS original (even though I chose to cheat and just pressed the TAB-button to find it :P).

The text however isn't that funny. Most of the time it's just "Dammit!" when I clicked it. Not too exciting.

The worst thing about this game is it's big filesize. I guess it's because of the song you put in the flash. While listening to some good music is nice you should try to lower the quality (and thus the filesize) of the song. 2.4 MB are way too much for such a short game, which also just requires a few KB of action script and some minor graphics.

Alright. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Punkin Shoot]

The idea of the game is pretty good. The introductions are simple and very helpful. They tell me everything I need to know about the game.

Well, the gameplay... the mouse moves a bit too slow and the pumpkins are way too fast. First time I played it I didn't hit a single pumpkin (well, except for the cats ^^). After playing some rounds I was able to hit more pumpkins, but I still think it's too fast.

The graphics are decent. Nothing too amazing, but not bad either.
You should have added some Halloween type of background music, though.

Yeah I have to get used to that, couple of years ago I played a great deal of computer shooters, thus my mouse was adjusted to move quickly across the screen, so naturally it was adjusted for me to have a challenge(leaving a good deal of people to not like it for this reason) something I won't overlook again.

I will have to find some Halloween music for the background, as well as a few tutorials to improve what I know. If I can ever get hold of a tablet my graphics will improve, till then I'm practicing with the mouse. Thanks for the review

[How Shall He Die 1 - M136]

\m/

"Chose the death" flashes/games are quite old, but I guess they are good for practicing ones flash skills.

The deaths where quite varied, which is always a good thing in those kind of games. ^^
Only the first "magic death" was a bit disappointing, because I couldn't tell at first what was goind on.

Also I hoped there would be more deaths to choose from than just 4. I think you should try and add a few more.

The musical choice was excellent. The song fits the flash very well.

Thanks! I'll be sure to add some more deaths, yeah it was good practice too. Thanks again!

The voice was the best part. The "You win a prize!" was just awesome.

Sadly, the rest of the flash didn't live up to those expectations, as it was a bit too slow overall. Also the voice wasn't that good to understand (but better than speakonia ;) ).

The drawings and animations are lame, so you should work on that.

Finally! People understand what I'm trying to say! Tis a new begining for Wegra!

[Obama Dress Up]

\m/

Nothing too new here and only a very limited range of objects and backgrounds to choose from. At least the objects where quite original, and I liked the fact I could also change the slogan on the sign.

To make dress-up games interesting you should add a lot more items and also more backgrounds. It's also a bit unsatisfying only be able to drag various hats and helmets around. A selection of differen suits and other objects would make this game more interesting.

[Madness Short 4 - M136]

\m/

Meh, this is highly disappointing. The animations are kinda rough, the graphics aren't that good either. The lack of sound is pretty annoying.

All in all, the flash looks very rushed (and it was indeed). I would suggest that you put more time and more effort into this project before submitting it.

Thanks for the review, next time I will spend more time on it :)!

[Dress Our King!]

\m/

I'm not too fond of dress-up games, as they don't offer that much depth. All I can do is drag and drop various items on random characters.

Your dress-up game is surprisingly well drawn and I liked that the various items fitted perfectly on SBC. Most dress-up games I played so far had the hughe downside of clothes/items not fitting properly on the image of the character. So much the better that all items in your game did fit.

I also liked the wide range of background music you put in the game. This keeps the music from getting boring. If I am annoyed of one track I can easily swith to another track.

You also had a wide range of backgrounds in your game, but I'd prefer more background images, rather than just a unicolored background.
