[How to not get blammed]

How ironic would it be if this were blammed?

Lol, nah, this is a very informative flash for people starting off...namely me...haven't a clue how to animate yet, but I'll definitely use this a reference before I submit my first... It did it's job well by showing comprehensive visual aids to the audience, including interactive examples...that being said, about the only thing I would change is to mix it up a little from the black and white color-less theme and maybe throw in some ambience, or background music, audible representation.

I gave you 8 stars and I voted 5, Good job, and thanks for the pointers! I'm sure many others will thank you later down the line!

Cool! Snake with a twist!

Very entertaining! Only wish there was some audible stimulation (sfx, bg music) but all in all, good job! You're two weeks payed off pretty damn well for your first flash game. Mad props! Voted 5.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Most original gameplay I've ever seen! Fantastic concept, phenomenal replayability, and if anything else, an interesting way to better understand how an equalizer works. I'm stunned and impressed with this fantastic piece, you're an inspiration and a savior! Great job man! We want more!

Straight-tens, voting 5; Fantastic craftsmanship!

I believe others before you have wanted to pay tribute/immortalize the NG celebrity in a fun, almost "Super Smash Bros." meets "Mortal Kombat" kinda style, only to have failed in the light of lack of creativity, and slip-shod effort.

THIS PIECE, however, brings an immersive, interesting and (most importantly) new and fresh take on popular, familiar characters without losing their original charm and personality. All were given justice to their own credit (even nifty links to what made them famous for noobs who just look with puzzlement.), I thought. Each ending appropriate, and gave the player an initiative to dive deeper into the game, unlocking with their "Grounds Gold" and what-not.

The artwork was impressive as you get to watch your fighter and opponent walk, jump, crouch, and duke it out on each other. At times, I forgot I was even playing a flash game; and I was oddly reminded of the likes of the craftsmanship of proffessionally made fighting games like Guilty Gear.

The villains were all portrayed differently from the perspectives of character to character. The two exceptions being the menacing Piconjo, and Convict. Piconjo was portrayed brilliantly as the menacing Bizzarroesque counterpart to Pico, wherine I think this game shall have a lasting influence on his persona for quite some time.

The items and powerups spiced up the game tremendously to draw away from incessant strong or weak button-mashing; something that previous attempts at a similar game design have ignored, and ultimately fouled their own game. Air and ducking combo's helped vary the fray at your disposal, and also made the opponent that much more unpredictable...therefore, more challenging. :)

All in all, I loved it immensely. It probably will never leave the top 50, and will be enjoyed by the recirculating NGer's for years to come. Excellent work!

Thanks for the detailed review. Just wanted to let you know I read it so you didn't waste all that typing, heh.

[Demonic Defence 4]

My poor, unfortunate clicky finger...

Arrgh! Addicting as hell, liked the style of the game...I was a little pissed though because when I finally got enough for the Dragon, I felt ripped-off because I had to actually physically tell it to shoot somewhere...ARRGH! I have hordes of armies coming after me, and I couldn't even figuire out how to get the dragon to just so much as shoot randomly into them! I'm like "AIM FOR THE GODDAMN STICK FIGUIRES!!! NOOES!!!"

All in all, another good game, dude. Voting 5.

[Capt. Low-Rez: Blastopod]

Made it to the black-hole dude...

Damn Tom, this flash game is helluvaddictive...I love it! Voting 5!

Say, d'you think that a Captain Low-Rez game is a possible console title?

[Fleets]

That opening logo reminded me of Thundercats...

Anyway, ADDICTIVE as HELL! I love this game! The farthest I got...I think was the Quints...DAMN good game, I'm gonna play it some more after typing this review.

Good Job, voting 5.

[BALANCE 1]

5 minutes is my record (for the n00bs, that's 300)

Interesting concept, but there really wasn't anything else more to just occasionally tapping left & right; Nothing new coming in to try and push you down...no changes...just occasionally tapping, and that's it...

The music selection (to me at least) was somewhat inappropriate for what was going on...you could've found some better music, dude...

The graphics? At least the guy had some kind of different facial expressions when you were at a certain angle, but really there was no change. No different backgrounds, things in the backgrounds...hell, even if you bent him in the entirely other direction he must not have any bones in his wrist because it seems that his fingers are welded to the ground.

There's really no replay value except "Beat MY record, bitch!" and that can get really old really quick...

...All in all, this flash is really overrated...it should be highlited green instead of blue, because to be honest, it's a pretty mediocre game. Sorry, but that's how it is... Anyway, keep tryin' man...I'll look forward to it.

Phobos Technology, Phobotech.

[Save Santa]

18 is my high score

Very addictive indeed! Great Job! I'm voting five, and keep up the good work.

[Blob Farm]

6:27 seconds...

That's the longest I've ever held out trying to protect those poor, poor, creatures that are unfortunately interested in anything and everything that can and will kill them.

However, it is a very addicting game and an excellent time-killer! Great Job! I'm voting five! I actually wouldn't mind seeing a follow-up game to this!
