[2 Simple Game Tutorials]

Crap

The script is old, the logic is flawed and the included demo shows just how flawed the logic is. This is a disaster.

And that is just the content. I got more to say. The used font is a paint to read. But more importantly, the constant changing background interfers with reading the text.

Left4DeathInFire responds:

That is funny i could've sworn i put SIMPLE and BASIC inside the tutorial's text. I had no problem reading it but, you know the creator's opinion means nothing compared to a fuck face's opinion.

[Slime Fighters]

strange controls

I just don't get the control scheme, you can chose who to control but both move on their own to a certain degree? you can attack manually, but the game auto attacks anyway. Sure, you can do a magic attack, but that is not too useful. No, this just doesn't work. It is just too confusing.

AcetheSuperVillain responds:

Sorry about that.

This game is mostly for my own practice, so there are maybe a lot more features than the game actually needs. I was trying to invoke a little Star Ocean 2, but maybe that was too much for a little survival brawler...

[Untangle Deluxe]

Worth paying for

But next time, tell us in advance that the game is a trial version.

The graphics are just beautiful. Simple, yet effective and also neat. I like the details you put in, like the crossing sparkles and the fact that connected nodes are highlighed. The level design is even better than the last time, A class matterial.

The music is a perfect fit as well, it really sets the right mood for this game and it works very well with the art style you are using.

Benjaminsen responds:

Thanks for the feedback.

The idea was to let the loader communicate that you where playing a trail. But I can see how it's not clear enough on the message. I will look into getting that changed.

Glad you liked it!

[Epic Battle Fantasy 2]

Not same excelent game

You show that even the original could be improved. You added everything that was missing in the original. Extremely good work. Do quit your day job, you have skills.

matt-likes-swords responds:

This is my day job.

[ElectroVirion]

Waste of time

Virtual piano, but with an uglier interface. The concept itself is flawed, it is too thin to entertain more than 2 minutes. The graphics are boring and does not give any impact on me. The text is hard to read instead of looking cool. There was only one instrument as far as I could tell. The preloader was broken, it's your fault if the sound loads before it, not flash.
Move along, nothing to see here.

xytor responds:

You're right, there is no reason to have a broken preloader. It's fixed now!

[Medieval Rampage]

Unfair cheats

I never got my medals because the game was too stupid to recognice that you have to actually apply a cheat from the cheat menu instead of just open it to cheat.

xdragonx10 responds:

you enter "cheat mode" once you open the menu, if you wanted to get achievements you should have started over.

[Epic Platform Tutorial]

Second best steal this code ever

Really, this is the second best "steal this code" tutorial that I have seen. The jumping physics is so bad that I can pull off walljumps(thrught the roof)! to leave the level area. And for the sliding physics? Come on, those are plain horrible

In the future, please try explaining the algorithms, the quirks in them and don't provide copy paste code. At least make the code readable.

Also, couldn't you think of a tune that is a little less worn out? I mean, paragonx9 is great and all, but those tunes are too used.

TheShyGuy responds:

Im sorry, i just wanted to help the newbies make their own games, because they wouldnt understand a more developed code, and i wanted to make the engine that presented it the same as the actual tutorial so.. sorry for that. Also if i didnt supply copy and paste code theyd have to write out their own from what i told them. That would take a very long time, and people wud just go "NO WAY THAT SUCKS I DONT WANNA WRITE IT OUT" -Votes 0-...

Im sorry that you didnt like it, but please, try and understand my reasons for the way i made it how it is.

[Conert maina]

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.

talls responds:

..........

[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.

[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.
