"A very solid entry."

submission: Mad World 1.5

date: September 6, 2009

I suppose every user sees a different story in this game. Some see a lonely character, some see an achiever, some just see a piece of shit that managed to pass, and are wondering how this piece has actually gotten a solid 3.30.

Those that just see a piece of shit apparently have never experienced true loneliness.

I see here a lonely character who has 54 goals that he'd like to achieve. He has no one to help him or guide him in any way, and so, in the end, he achieves 53 - a great feat in and of itself (I was unable to get one of the triangles) - but the goal he wanted to achieve most is left sitting, untouched.

Although you're 13, and not experienced in Flash, you still managed to make my eyes well up, if only for a moment, and you're correct in saying that this is a highly emotional journey, rather than a cut-and-dried story.

When I was five years old, I asked my father the reasoning behind something I found quite pressing: If a car starts off of a battery, then why does the battery not drain when you drive? He explained the concept of an alternator to me, and while I was impressed by the current system, I proceeded to explain a way that the engine could be vastly improved to increase efficiency, without having any new pieces, and without having an alternator.

In that way, it's good that you're 13 and inexperienced. You think differently from other flash artists - you've no boundaries to follow, because you don't know the "rules", and thus cannot violate what you don't know.

I liked this game. I don't think it's series-worthy, but from seeing this, I'm interested in what you'll do next with it.

Gameplay: 17/20 - jumping was stiff, though in a way I could suppose that as good. I'd still prefer a less stiff jumping mechanic.

Story: N/A

Music: 19/20

Graphics: 8/10 - It had style, even if it had little polish.

Overall: A solid eight.

Keep it up.

"I liked it."

submission: : Restaurants II :

date: April 14, 2009

Having worked in restaurants in NC for a while now, I gotta say, Lashkor, you're wrong.

Most southern restaurants (yes, I travel, so I can say this) allow workers to smoke. Mine does. That's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

Let's stop arguing like bitches and appreciate the genius in the Flash.

Score: 4

"This game is quite simply bloated."

submission: Cursor Fx

date: March 22, 2009

I played this up until the effect "Wall" (and the one just past it that I couldn't get to but twice).

I simply couldn't bring myself to finish it.

It's too long and frustrating, and a great suggestion would be to keep the particles the come off of the cursor, but NEUTRALIZE THEM. It's EXTREMELY frustrating when I'm getting penalized for circles that are across the field that got hit by my "particles".

Score: 0

"Nothing more than a propaganda tool."

submission: (Twisted) Cooking Mama

date: November 29, 2008

This game is highly suggestive, and rushed to market, nonetheless. Even if you do everything right, the traditional meal looks like shit, while you can do everything wrong, and the veg meal looks appetizing. Are you joking?

Get this piece of shit outta here.

Score: 2

"Rockin' 2 Fame: Showing that anyone can be famous."

submission: Rockin 2 Fame

date: May 3, 2008

First off, I'd like to start out by saying that I have played and reviewed this author's previous submission, Rockin' to Fame, and gave it a zero. Since this game is improved, slightly, so is my review. Slightly.

The music is still horrible. Though it is better than last time in the coding, the music for your home is under par. I did quite like the concert music.

Speaking of home, the control was absolutely infuriating. Arrow keys, please? It took me ten minutes to get all the way around the room. Way too counter-intuitive.

The pool game is still broken and jagged. Gameplay could be smoother there. The slots still aren't worth playing. The piano has no function that I could readily access. The concerts were okay... but not great.

The worst part is that the arrows, just like last time, seem to be arbitrarily placed. They have NOTHING to do with the music. They don't match up with anything. No guitars, no drums, no bass, nothing. They just randomly get thrown at you. Your hit detection patently sucks. Once you get past level five, you're pretty fucked.

I think the absolute worst part is that you think you're doing good because you got front page. No. Tom Fulp has officially made a huge mistake. He did the first time, and if he gave this one front page, too, he's made two big mistakes. I think that you really need to step it up. I don't know how you have a three... but you do.

2/10

If you get zero, then the game goes nuts at the end and never breaks out of the negative.

Score: 4

"Mediocre."

submission: Floopy Pylon

date: March 16, 2008

You must be kidding. This game is a piece of crap, really.

The most annoying thing about it is the music. And not just that, but the fact that you can't turn it off. Sure, it'll go off for one screen. Switch screens and it comes right back. I don't feel like having to press the off button every time I do something.

The gameplay is shaky. Powerbrake is sorta backwards. Less is more, in other words. Collision detection is horrid. One second I'll go through a line, no problem. Next time is a foul. And then another time after it's just fine. What the hell?

Needs improvement.

Score: 10

"Loved it."

submission: Zombie Survival Quiz

date: February 23, 2008

Since there is some strife over some points in the quiz, here's some explanation to supplant the explanation given in the quiz.

Home in fact IS the best place to bunker down, barring you being poor and not having food or having a crapload of windows/doors. You know the layout perfectly, and it is a closed system.

Bikes ARE better than cars or trucks in this situation. After the gas runs out, you're done for, and also cars and trucks are large vehicles. They're hard to maneuver in traffic jams, whereas I can walk around a car or ride around it.

Announcing 'Is anyone there?' could alert other undead. Your voice carries. If you read the explanation past the answer, you would know that the moaning zombie has NOTHING to do with it.

.22 rimfire does weigh less than 9mm rounds. One poster that was arguing this stated this very point. He asked what weighed less, not if it made a statistical difference. Technically, he is correct.

The other points aren't even worth it.

Basically, the guy made it up right.

Got a Z+. Thought the emotional F was a bad thing. Found out it wasn't.

Lovely.

Score: 0

"This was absolutely terrible."

submission: Rockin To Fame

date: February 16, 2008

How this got front-page escapes me, because this game is like a retarded child taking a calculus course: Awful.

The gameplay is downright horrid. The notes don't even have a pattern that fits the music, minimum scores are ridiculously high early on, and teh alternating gameplay idea is flatly stupid. The slots weren't even worth the effort, and the pool was broken and killed the fun.

The music is just like everything else in this game: Horrible. I don't mean to say that the music itself sucked, but let's face it: The way it was coded into the flash was painfully retarded. You weren't even good enough to transition the music and only have one song at a time playing. No. Both had to play at concerts, and it was abominable.

In short, Tom Fulp has made a bombastic speech about a horrid game. This is a waste of time. Don't play it.

Score: 10

"Only one thing could make this better."

submission: SC Guitar Maniac Dx 2

Practice mode. A mode where you could pick a percent of normal speed, that way you can get the notes down, especially on Pro mode.
