"Best tutorial on the site."

submission: _ULTIMATE TUTORIAL 2_

date: February 11, 2005

A lot of the tutorials I've seen are either too specific (like one technique that can only be used in Flash MX) or are so basic that they're almost useless. Your tutorial on the other hand is has quite a lot to offer and very helpful.

However, in the Newgrounds section, I did notice a few mistakes.

It's not level 10 when it depends on how much exp HT52 has, its level 9.

The number of points actually needed for the ranks are different from the amount it says in the FAQ (you can look on the Top 50 B/P list and see for yourself that some of the FAQ numbers are wrong) and you either added or missed a number for others. The numbers that should be in your list are:
Police Sergeant 400 (you typed 4500)
EG Staff Sergeant 4,000 (You somehow missed the rank)
EG First Lieutenant 11,000 (missed a 0)
EG Major 14,000 (missed a 0)
EG Brigadier General 19,500 (you guessed it, 0)
EG Major General 21,500 (the FAQ was wrong)
EG Lieutenant General 23,500 (ditto)
EG General 25,500 (bad FAQ, bad).

Movies cannot be whistled because they are REALLY bad (unless you mean bad by unsuitable and not by "crappy movie").

I wish I could get a gold whistle with 30 reviews; the amount needed to get it is much, MUCH higher. The number of reviews to get the gold whistle depends on the amount the user with the deity (not diety) whistle. There can also be more than one deity (and there can also be more than one level 30 user) if they have the same number of points.

For the third secret you can only choose one game and you get it at 1,000 exp points, which is smaller than the amount needed for level 10.

There is no E+ for Batting Averages.

And in the Dictionary section (which could be expanded) I always thought <3 meant love, but I could be wrong.

Other than that, this is tutorial gold, well done.

"It's ok, but lacking."

submission: File Catcher

date: February 29, 2004

There only one level with no music or sound and the time limit seemed short, with the reset button coming up with 2 seconds to go. It was too simple for me, grabbing a file, put it in a folder, repeat.
With the ranks, I thought this would be better if it had a NG theme with swf files needing to be blammed. You could add some variety and put in files that you shouldn't click on or something so the game seems more interesting.
I repeat, it's ok, but it needs more.

Score: 10

"Better than the other three."

submission: Trapped 4

date: January 12, 2004

This game was planned well, except for that section where you couldn't fall off the edge (or you would lose life), that was annoying when I went there the fifth time.
As for Trapped 5, I recommend that you should put extra lives around, especially if it requires more thinking than this one. I hope that you get enough ideas so that Trapped 5 is the best game yet.

Score: 8

"Nice game."

submission: Thief: quest for jewels

date: January 5, 2004

One problem, I discovered how to get to the bonus stage. It involves clicking continue after you see that bit at the end, but I realised you must have meant finish the game without losing too many lives. Anyway, I hope to see you making more games as this was fun.

Score: 6

"I wouldn't mind seeing more of these."

submission: Drawing in B&W

date: January 1, 2004

This reminds me of those short cartoons they show on Comedy Central, only this movie was shorter. Nice style. Remember that pointless movies can be good if they're done well, and if you consider making more, make it longer.

Score: 8

"Nice snake game."

submission: Snake'it

date: December 31, 2003

I like the way you make existing games better. The fact that I don't have the usual problem of eating myself when I press the wrong arrow key raised the overall score.
A few suggestions:
-Put in walls (to make things harder, put some within the area instead of just around it).
-Have an bonus item that appears (and disappears after a while) after five normal items.
-Have an option to change the background.
Anyway, keep making games, you're good at it.

Score: 3

"Frustrating."

submission: Clock Crew Pacman®

date: December 27, 2003

No combos, crashing into walls and other things which made this unenjoyable. You get a 1.

Score: 10

"Extremely challenging."

submission: Pong! the Beaver

date: December 26, 2003

This has to be the hardest and also the best version of pong on Newgrounds. The graphics, style and sound were great. The intro was done nicely, and if the game wasn't hard enough, there's also a handicap which makes it impossible. I lost by 1 point, but I'll come back every week until I beat it.

Score: 10

"Great flash."

submission: Perfect Kirby 3.1

date: December 26, 2003

Graphics-Excellent.
Sound-Very good, except for one voice which was annoying.
Interactivity-Subtitles and interesting stuff (both can be turned off), scene selection, pause and rewind/skip a few seconds buttons (which can be hidden).
Style-Nice.
Violence-Plenty.
Humour-The Mentos song on it's own gets a 10.
Overall-This belongs in the top 50 for a reason, so watch it.

Score: 8

"Good christmas video."

submission: The 12 Pains of Christmas

date: December 26, 2003

I didn't think it was possible for someone to make a "12 days of christmas" flash without the viewers complaining about the length, but you have made one that can be watched all the way through without too much repetition. Graphics were smooth and I found some bits that were funny. Overall, 4/5.
