[Swamp Escape]

Boring game with hidden faults

Sandbox violations all over the place man!
And the core game wasn't hot either.

[Dirk Dagger]

Text too slow

The game simply was too slow. And the puzzles where not even nearly hard enough.

[DeRoze Picross]

Impossible puzzles

Neat game and great music selection. The interface was good, but could have allowed multifill by holding down the button.
The problem was that some of the puzzless where impossible to solve with logic only. I had one puzzle that I managed to prove for sure was impossible to solve without guessing.

Pelemus-McSoy responds:

Lemme guess...Halo? Forgive me if some of them are really hard like that, but this is my first attempt at a Picross game, and I created all the puzzles by myself...If I make another one, I'll put in a hint button (idea by yoman6!).

[Epsilon]

Masterfull

Completely flawless game. Great gameplay. Great physics. No glitches. Challenging but solvable puzzles.
The only way of improving this is to make a sequel. And I honestly expect one. And it will have more tricks up it's sleeve!

[The Extreme RPG Tutorial]

Uhm, no?

Seriously, you need to explain the algorithms. And haven't you heard about ActionScript 3 yet? Seriously, this was stale before you begun the tutorial.

Jaye19 responds:

Actually no I hav'nt heard of it

[Ultimate Flash Tutorials]

Uhm, what to say

The presentation felt a bit amaturich. The art simply wasn't of a high class. Now, that's not imortant. But the important thing is the content. You made the number one mistake for tutorials, failing to explain the scripts. Oh yeah, you also forgot to give them a readable size.
Sorry, but without explaining the scripts, you don't get any high score.

Jaye19 responds:

Hey man sorry I did a small survey more than 79% were hating code explanations but now I dont make that mistake anymore and also I meant the code sometimes to be none readable it is taking tons of space

[Tutorial: Streaming Sound]

Needs more work

First of all, I can't omit that I was first with the idea of doing this. But let's get to the review.
First of all, you used as 2 and only as 2. As 2 is dieing, move on.
Now, for the important parts, the presentation and content.
The presentation is rushed, there is a duplicate step and the code is not formated. The code can also not be selected for copy and paste. But the background and interface was neat, the contents could have stood out a bit more, but that's nothing.
Ok, here goes the big part, what did I think about the actual content?
I though that it was too little. This subject has so much more to it! The code should be explained, the security rules for loading sound was never mentioned. Yes, there is rules, in fact, it's only due to the staff for seeing this that this example worked! You should also discus how to preload the sound, what if I do not want to start playing it right away? What if I am making a game and want a music track for a boss to be ready to play?
Yeah, things can use a lot of improvement, work a lot harder, submit a new and exiting version, and then you got something worth giving big points to.

ZiggyZack99 responds:

OK.

[Ryan's Platformer Tut.]

Tutorial does not mean steal this code

First of all, I think you did a poor job on the post production tasks. Come on, too lazy to make an icon? A preloader that is blank most of the time?
Second, the presentation of the content. The font size was inconsistent, the arrows and text clashed with the background and everything just didn't feel like one complete thing but more like several duct taped together things. And seriously, no scrollbars on the code?
Third, go learn as 3, as 2 is over, dead, past it's time.
Finally, and actually important, the content sucked. You never explained what a single line of the code did! That is not acceptable for a tutorial. Nobody will be able to modify the code if they don't understand it! And I think that you kinda rushed past the part where you explained how to setup everything so that the code will work. You need to slow down there.

[Pico Blast]

Great game

This game needs autofire, my hand hurts. Also, the fire "powerup" was useless.
And I think there is a bug with the 3rd boss, after my first attempt at it, all other tries was boring, since it never attacked.

[Pico's Day in Court]

Could be a little longer

A great game, but I think you got a glitch there. Negative hp? Just restore the correct hp once you've lost. But it still feels kinda hanging at the end, you should have added an outro to finish things up.
