[Abusive Review Guide 2]

\m/

It's as nice as the first one. Everything is pretty well explained and again your style of writing is very pleasing (ie. no typos, no harsh language where it isn't necessary, etc.).

The quiz at the end was a nice addition, but I think it would have been better if it calculated the points itself instead of letting me chose how many points I made.

I found a bug while clicking through the pages. If the music is turned off and I go back to the very first page, the music starts to play again, even though the button doesn't have a red line through it.

Thanks for the review!

My flash skills are still a work in progress, so I will endeavor to ensure that none of the flaws you pointed out repeat themselves.

[Abusive Review Guide]

\m/

This is a very helpful flash. The text is very well written and very informative. Also, I didn't notice any typos or spelling errors, which also is a big plus.

You should have added some images here for a better understanding, though. For example, when you describe what the "Flag this review as abusive"-button looks like, you could have provided a picture of it for a better understanding.

Also, some screenshots of abusive reviews would have been nice, too.

Thanks for the review!

I am currently working on a sequel which will have graphical improvements including screenshots. Look out for it!

[Abe Simpson Soundboard]

\m/

It's a nice sound board with an easy to navigate menue and funny quotes from Abe Simpson with a decent sound quality.

I liked the layout of the buttons. On some soundboard they seem to be all over the place, here they where all neatly arranged.

I wished oyu had put in more "multi character" quotes. Also on the multi character quotes page, maybe a different layout would work better there. Sort the quotes by the other characters, like all quotes involving Bart are listed in a column titled "Bart", all quotes with Homer are in a column titled "Homer", etc. .

Good idea, thanks for the review!

[MSC 3]

\m/

It's a good game. You offered a great variation of objects, possibilities to create characters AND a wide range of backgrounds. Most games of this kind lack at least one (if not all) of those (ie they give me a good choice of weapons, but only two different backgrounds).

The musical selection was ok, but I think some Hard Rock/Metal would have fitted in nicely here. ;)
I also liked the option to turn the music off. That way I can play my own music in the background while messing around with the scene creator.

The controls are very good, even though it took me a few minutes to figure out that I'm supposed to hold down the key and then click on the object I want to manipluate... but yeah, it's early in the morning right now, maybe that has something to do with it. ^^

Thanks for your review. I'm glad that you liked it, thanks for the 10!

[Awesome Sprite Tutorial]

\m/

It's a very good tutorial. The text is easy to read and you explained everything very well. I also thank you for not including any music, as music in tutorials tends to get boring very quickly. ;)

I missed some kind of menu here. It would be nice if I could choose from a menu which part of the tutorial I want to see. That way I don't have to click through the whole tutorial if there's just one topic that I'm interested in.

Hmm that might just be an idea xD. Didn't think of that. Thanks.

[Kill Boe 2]

\m/

Those kind of games can go awfully wrong, but it seems as if you've done everything right with this one. You offered a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of choices and all of them had something special, like the cloud kicking the guy off the cliff (that's my favorite scene, btw), or the guy getting killed by a guitar solo.

Sometimes the backgrounds were a bit bland. Well, a plain white background isn't that exciting, to be honest. ^^
If you added a small background for every scene it would be really nice.

Graeme responds:

The only one featuring a background was the cliff. Perhaps that made you more inclined to it?

[NSG015: Apples & Bananas]

\m/

17/21 on first try. Not that bad I guess.

The quiz was very nice with some unusual photographs. At first one may think: "Heh, sure I can tell an apple from a banana!" but it gets a little tricky later on.
Good thing that I eat a banana every day, so I'm not that easily tricked! ;)

I think it was the right decision to make the photos in black and white, or else it would have been too easy, especially on the first few pictures.

You should have added a mute button, though. That background song gets very annoying after a short time.

Bezman responds:

Looks like I still managed to trick you, though! I wasn't sure if it would be hard enough. :-D

Fair point on the mute button. There were only maybe 3 hours until the end of Pico Day and I just wanted to get this quick creation out into the portal. A mute button may have been worth the 7 minutes it'd take, though.

Thanks for the review!
