OctoFlash's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Poster Collab]

nice stuff but

there where some really nice pics but some of them looked kinda... boring.?
the tomfulp pic was kind of traced and maybe you should have better used a higher framrate so that the pic scrolls more smooth...
don't get me wrong, i liked the flash but there were just some points i didn't like.

oh yeah and it's alien hominid and not homonid... :P

JKAmovies responds:

I didn't trace him, I just tried keeping the same look as JohnnyUtahs version,

The Frame rate was 60FPS. . . Trust me, it ran fine :P

Thanks for the comment :P

[Notepad Drawing Collab 2008]

JKAmovies responds:

I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks for your review :)

[The Flash Tutorial]

well....

as i can see you like adam phillip's work (as i do) and as i can see you bought his third tutorial (as i did). BUT! when you read the tutorial there is a part in the beginning where adam says:

"You may download, print and reference this chapter for your own use. Without express written permission from me, you may not duplicate or distribute copies of this chapter, resell it or reproduce any part of it in your own animation tutorials/books/articles in any medium, including print and online"

The problem is: you did! i like the tutorial and it's style but i also think that you don't have the permission to steal the fire of adam phillip's hitchhiker. although you credited him.

i'd give you a 9 for this tutorial but only if this was your work. sorry dude. you just get 2 for the style.

JKAmovies responds:

That's alright, I actually learn't that stuff at school in art class, I did notice that Adam Phillips included it but that's not where I found it?

[Newgrounds Flagging Guide]

it's said before but i'll explain it:

try not to use what font on black background. the problem is that it's hard for the human eye to watch this combination, after some time it's hard to read the text. usually we think that is has to be easy since white is the opposite of black but that's the problem. the contrast is too hard... try using a gray. maybe a 50% gray on black BG. i'm not advertising my flash here but you can go check my flame tutorials to see what i mean. to other thing is the light gray text on the buttons: kind hard to read because this time the difference was not much.
whatever these were just two ideas for improvement.

about the flash itself: i liked it very much and i think it can be very useful for many people here on NG. 8/10 because my eyes hurt but it would be a 10.

Little-Renastair responds:

I know about solours, it's been said a lot in reviews but I couldn't fix the fla because flash didn't save it properly.

[Ghost-Hunter]

nice style but

no challenge. it's way to easy.... it's a nice game: nice graphics and good sounds but the game was just waayyyy to easy to beat....

Depredation responds:

Cheers, just a quick game :).

[Brawl Royale]

omg!

I already played this game some days before but i just wanted to try it again and now it's got a bug! i mean, i'm trying to click the preloader's play but the screen doesn't stay long on the menu frame! it just jumps back again and after some clicking on the play button it doesn't even jump to menu again. however since i played the game i can rate it. 10 for graphics, fun and stuff altough i didn't understand at first what to do.. ¬.¬"
okay, maybe it's my computer's fault or maybe the game has got a problem.

matt-likes-swords responds:

A few people seem to get that problem. No idea what it's all about.

[NG Level Icon Maker]

finally!

i was waiting for this to come out! it's a lot of fun and if you need any ideas for the second version (graphics and stuff) i will tell you some!
first idea: you need to make more weapons!

smokinjoeevil responds:

I know I need more.. I was just itching too much to get some feedback on what I had done so far... thanks for the review!

[Best Friends Forever 2]

very impressive

cool concept but it would the better if you key.DOWN is for jumping and the "z" is for climbing the ladder..

Skeik responds:

I feel once you play a few a levels with Z, you get a little more adept at switching characters using shift and 1-2-3-4 becuase the buttons are so close together.
