[TF2 Soundboard: Scout]

Nice - Require some stuff..

Nice to see a Team Fortress's gadget with some nice design. The graphics overall are well done, I only think that the menu image should have a higher quality, it looks too much pixelated.

Two things this gadget requires:
1) Every end of a sound looks like it have some continuation, it gives a "boom", try cutting it off.
2) You need to add a mute button, it would help a lot.

Add variables to the sound doesn't repeat, like if you click pressing loads of times a button it starts the music everytime. Maybe you could do the first click a play; and the second click a pause.

Frenzy responds:

There is a mute button (it says Stop All Sounds in the soundboard)

Thanks for the review, though

[Normandy Survival]

Need more gameplay

First of all, it is a hard game...not that this is some motive to vote it down but I think it was too hard because is almost impossible to get a score of 20, I made 12~13. The gameplay is a bit boring, is just walk and shoot, nothing more - not forgetting to mention that the health goes down really fast. I think you should try to create some kind of levels, I mean, try setting up a system which the first difficulty is easy, while the score is going up, the difficulty level increases, then you have a proportional difficulty.

Maybe you could try to add more weapons to your inventory - like grenades, bombs, pistol. This game needs medpacks also.

The enemies could have loads more of improvement, there is only one kind of enemy. The graphics quality is good for a first game.

By the way, it really needs some sounds and music. (If you don't added because Flash gave you a messege about 'could not import', it's because he can't read big MP3, convert it for WAV)

Well that's it.

Thanks for the relative positivity. Again-I was restricted during development by a 30-day free trial.

[Robotic Heart]

Cool

The art looks pretty good and have an interesting story, the levels are smooth--although I don't enjoyed at all some of the "key-door" levels, they are too hard. Keep up the good work! :)

EventHorizon responds:

welcome back Spysociety is a long time that not seen you on newgrounds, thanks for your review and I'm glad you liked my game!

[The Greatest Orb 3]

Addicting..

Hey there MonoFlauta, your game is pretty addicting and fun but you could improve more on the levels, I mean you could add some mechanics to rotate the map, or add bonus, score, etc. Plus, don't make that when you roll over the walls you loose, make if hitTest(xmouse,ymouse,true) it have a hit so if the player hold down the mouse and go across the map he will just don't loose. Would be cool also to have some random backgrounds :)

MonoFlauta responds:

Ha, most of things you are telling me are in part 4 (that is actually searching sponsor) you will love it :) thanks for the review, very usefull ideas :)

[Shark Antennas Co.]

Awesome!

The game is really cool. I loved the menu and the buttons. The graphics are really smooth and high quality. I enjoyed how you have frictions beetween winds and the shark goes in the wind direction. Also the energy from the friction going through the chopper was really realitic! I liked that you made a node map for the missions. The music matched a lot! There is just a bug when replaying missions. Nice job mate! Oh also nice job Funandmore!

MonoFlauta responds:

Bug fixed :) Thanks for telling me :)

[The Powder Keg V2]

Getting annoyed with the jumpings?

NOTE: HAVING PROBLEMS WITH JUMPINGS, HERE IT IS THE ANSWER!!

The system is tricky so what you need to do is w + d, not d + w!!

EventHorizon responds:

thanks for your advice and for your review

[Space Marble]

Copy

The 1 just goes because the extra levels but you took the game engine and graphics from Emanuele Feronato tutorials!

ImpactGames responds:

I only used your 3d marble tutorial. But I put work into this game so if you like Emanuele's version better go play hers. If you think I just copied her you go make your own game and see how easy it is.

[NG Audio Bridge]

Not original!

Hey GumOnShoe, your submission still was good but it had nothing new. I did NG Portal Radio v2 01 and released wednesday and I can see you took some things I did as the user identifyer algorithim, volume scrollers, the play buttons, some kind of the descriptions and also you can find the spectrum visualizers at the Newgrounds Radio by Archawn and you can filter music on Newgrounds Radio Desktop, your didn't had many functions and uses, you can't fav or put the songs loaded to a history list and is just you listen to music for a few minutes.

Try to improve more on the things and have creativity.

gumOnShoe responds:

It is the first stage... sheesh. But yeah, my plan is to entirely blow anything you or anyone else has done out of the water, and make it not look ugly. :D

But you know, whatever. If you don't like phase 1, then you can't tell an extensible project when you see one.

I assure you that playing songs in a random order is not stealing ideas from you. And the month that I put into putting this together, hand crafting object oriented classes to make this portable, and detailing the GUI in a photo editing program ultimately took a lot more time and love than yours did.

Also, try reading the comments above. Your review wasn't very original. ;)

Final note: I made the visualizer myself. I don't believe in using others' programming work in a situation like this. The point was to make my own.

[The Sniper's Contracts]

Awesome!

Wow this game is awesome!! The story is perfect and the gameplay is really smooth!!!! Please, do a version 2 from this one!! I'll be looking forward!!

mrty responds:

Wow, I just stopped by to take a look at the reviews for nostalgia reasons, and I'm surprised to find a new review.

I WILL be making a sequel, perhaps a remake of this one, but not just yet. I have so much to do. I don't even have that much time because of school. Two years later though, I should be free as a bird. I'll look into it then.

Thanks for the review!
