[Dress-up Hitler]

Not much there.

Your background were extremely low-effort; only the flag one was really interesting. Couldn't you find a picture the Reichstag or a Nazi rally or a Miley Cyrus concert to put in there? Why didn't the music loop? It just ended while I was still messing around.

The clothes were okay, but why'd you draw only the half-pants for the uniform? You can only use them with the uniform coat, otherwise they're like leggings or something. Also, Hitler's Nazi uniform was khaki. And where were the lederhosen?

Put some creativity in there. While Hitler is one of the pillars of comedy, by himself he just isn't funny or interesting enough to carry this.

Deathspam responds:

I have to agree with you on everything. I had no idea what else to put for backgrounds (I actually tried drawing the Reichstag in flash, but it looked terrible and I didn't use it in flash) and I'm very aware of the flaws in my flash. Since this is my first submission, I was eager to just get it in the portal but I probably should have taken another day to add on and patch things up.

[Breaktime Massacre Promo]

It's okay.

My suggestions: When you shoot folks they should have a death animation (actually two or three possible ones would be best). The coffee cup shouldn't be draggable. And there should be some sort of meter or way to tell when your coffee fix is going out -- a fading around the edges of the screen might be good for that.

A good first effort. I look forward to a better version.

[Sho Minamimoto Soundboard]

The sound quality is okay

But the buttons are way, way too small. Don't use the text -- go in and edit the click area to make it a box over the whole word area. As it is, this is almost unusable and very annoying to operate; hence my low score. Work on it.

[California Driver Exam 08]

Decently done

The questions were clear and the pictures were fine. It would have been easy enough to put in a scorekeeping function, though, and you didn't need the extra click between questions. This is okay, but could be better with those small additions.

Formalz responds:

I wanted to add a score function, but i dont quite know how to do that yet. Im heading there. Thanks for trying this out :)

[Mars Bike]

Not much to the game

And it got rather frustrating and repetitive after a while. But the physics engine was really, really excellent and made for good gameplay. A good game, which could be better with a few more features and things to do! I suggest shortening the intro too.

[Fancy Pants Adventures]

Awesome physics!

Your game engine is great! That's some scripting job. And the graphics and animation, while simple, are neat and charming. Those -are- some fancy pants. Fine work!

[Dane Cook -Joke Board-]

I like Dane Cook

But this isn't a very good sound board. The sound quality is good; but the buttons are basic, there's nothing great about the graphics, and the jokes are way too long -- sound boards are supposed to have -short- sections. If I wanted to hear half the album at once, I'd buy the album. For instance, the bit about giving the finger on the Swear button should have been a separate button by itself. You could do better.

[Pumpkin Bingo]

Well-built, but what's the point?

This game is one-player; but since you can't cheat or bet or select anything but what's been called... well, it's a one-player game that plays itself, isn't it? If you hadn't made it so you have to light up the numbers yourself -- if you just had the machine do that for you, since you can't light up any other ones anyway -- there'd be nothing to do but sit and watch it pick random numbers for a few minutes. And since "winning" is just a function of the random amount of time it takes to get the correct numbers, there's absolutely no challenge or way to improve. It's totally pointless.

I liked the music, though. And the scripting was nice and smooth, and the graphics were pleasing, which gave it a bare pass for me. I suggest you turn your obvious talent in those areas to something more interesting.

[UltimateGamerQuiz demo]

I got stuck...

Just after level 2 on the "which movie did not spawn a game" question -- every answer took me to a "game over". Seriously, what the hell? Other than that, very ho-hum. Just like every other quiz. So what?

MadnessZombie responds:

you fuckin moron... its demo cuz its not done, NO SHIT YOU GOT STUCK. and i'd like to point out most of the quizs on this site don't have an animation to go along wit the questions.

[The Crusher]

Too easy

And not enough interesting bits. You could have had far more awesome sound effects and specialty items to crush, and of course better art. Some less intrusive music would be better too. Still, not bad for a first try -- I'd really like to see an updated version of this. The concept is good!
