[Ballads of Reemus Intro]

Awesome! Very fun and cute. Love everything about this. Just donated $20 to the kickstarter so I can get this full game along with the sweet ass looking 'Small Favor'. Good luck, and keep up with the great work!

ClickShake responds:

Thanks man!

[Pico Radio]

FFFUUUCcckkkk Yeah. I've been thinking about this for a long while. There are so many great songs on NG but no playlist creation or consecutive streaming. Very awesome, Great stuff.

deathink responds:

Yeah me too, I have been thinking the same thing for a while, and well here is my solution... I am glad you like it!

This game is getting a bum rap

It was awesome - great style, solid programming, and creative gameplay. I don't think you should upload an easier version. It seems like people are voting down because it's hard. Half the fun was learning what to do. This game isn't for everyone. It's not a regular flash game that anyone can pick up and beat on their first try. It doesn't baby you or give you a full blown tutorial. You get thrown in and asked to experiment a bit, and I think that's awesome. It felt like an epic boss battle at the end of a difficult SNES game - totally huge and a pain in the ass lol, but rewarding as hell. If making it a little easier won't hurt the overall experience, then do it. Otherwise, I don't think you should jeopardize what you've got to please a few more potential fans.

MindChamber responds:

I definitely agree theres a few wimps here, but I hope we found a balance with the updated version. its quicker to get through, and less punishing, but the challenge is still the same.

thanks for the review.

[AS3 Calculator]

Not much,

It's alright, but it's just too simple. It might be better if it looked like a calculator with buttons and some sound effects when you press them. Maybe add in square and square root, and put in a formula sheet on the side for area and volume of basic shapes. It's a good start to AS and flash. Keep making stuff

BrainToast responds:

i knew somebody would tell me about adding sound to the buttons when you press 'em. I do not know how to do that yet but I will try and upload this file with AS3 Calculator 2.

[Star Survival]

Pretty Good

The hit testing on the circles is great, but feels off when grabbing stars. The player should get a second or two after you get hit to be invincible so that they don't lose multiple lives when they get stuck in an impossible situation. If you worked on the presentation(like the main menu, in-game interface, and music/sound effects) a little bit it could be very addicting.

[Small Adventure Game]

Good First Game

Don't be discouraged by negative reviews. Just keep learning and keep adding things.

[Ragdoll - Free Ball 2]

Lawl, flying glitch

Here's a sick glitch:

Alternate punching left and right rapidly and you can fly right out of the level. You could also kick instead of punch.

KynetiK-27 responds:

im getting really REALLY irritated with people mentioning this like its some kind of new information.

[Gamma Bros]

Awsome

My favorite game on NG. Best presentation and use of sound in and flash game I've played. Truly felt like and original NES game. Awsome boss AI.
Thanks.

[Commando]

WTF

This game is incredible. I don't understand why it isn't ranked higher. Seems like some NG users can't handle a hardcore, old-school game.
