Needs a lot of work

Try working a lot longer on your stuff before submitting it. This has clearly not been worked on for a long time, is acknowledged buggy, not fun to play, has very primitive art and animation and lacks sound.

[Intense API Tutorial]

My eyes hurts

I could not stand the font, it was so bad that I couldn't read. Further more, you are late with the actionscript, time to leave actionscript 2 since it's is no longer extreme at all, unless you mean extremely outdated.
I can't really comment too much on the writing, I was too busy trying to dechipper the font.

[The Flash Tutorial]

Ok tutorial

You need to work on the actionscript presentation, you didn't teach anything about the advanced scripts, you just threw it at people. And actionscript 2 is so yesterday.
But the rest was fine, I liked the shiny style of the menu.

JKAmovies responds:

Thanks mate :P

I was just giving people the basic ideas of AS.

12 years old, but still fresh

I know this puzzle from a 12 year old game, "The lost mind of Dr. Brain". Yet, you managed to make it genuinely interesting by providing more serious puzzles and changing just one little detail, the action action. But I don't care much for the jump action, honestly. Btw, bonus for making a great feature with this file size.

B for broken

I can't play this, it's broken!

[Abusive Review Guide 2]

Somebody needs his as lessons

No offense, but the first question was stupid, there is no need to know that.
The quiz was completly linear, it's not that hard to not make them a challenge in bruteforcing. And go learn how to let the flash do the scoring automaticaly, it's not exactly rocket sciense.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

The first question was based on the principle that a good abuse flagger should know who the review mods are, and I picked 3 of the most well-known ones out there.

Your score really is irrelevant, it is just a measure of how much you know about the system, so you can look at yourself and decide if you need to rewatch either submission.

Also, if I wanted it to be a "proper" non-linear quiz, I would not tag it on at the end of something which could stand alone, I would release it separately.

Thank you for your review I suppose.

[Shell Swap]

Neat game

I think you screwed up the preloader there, it sorta jumped to finished once stuff was loaded. Yes, there was the 100 frame count up, in very rapid speed, once stuff was loaded.

Also, the game is a bit shallow, I got bored after 20 or so levels without making any mistakes.

[SHIFT 3]

Neat

A high quality game with some interesting puzzles.
Btw, there is a top secret key combination in the main menu, but I am not telling what it is! It's a shortcut to the end movie. Ok, I will be fair, it involves a certain button in addition to the key combination and the key combination is 3 keys.

[Preloader Tutorial - 1]

High quality tutorial

Wow, a tutorial that doesn't suck, that's rare! It's not perfect, but it explains the actionscript. Next, teach actionscript 3 and how to avoid improperly structured movies that doesn't preload properly.

TheVisibleMan responds:

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm still only learning AS3, so I doubt I'm qualified to write a tutorial on it. As to the structuring of movies to ensure they load properly, are you referring to Linkage's "Export on First Frame" option? I was actually planning on covering how to work around that. If you know any other pitfalls I should warn people about, please PM with them :)

[Tipping Point]

Loads of runtime errors!

No offense, but did you even test the game? I've seen many runtime errors! And please, only one loading screen thanks. The cave puzzle was too much guessing, not even with the walkthrught was it clear what type each room was. The lights game was just stupid, there is no instructions on what to do in it. And it could have been neat to have the new game button work.
The story was very good.
