My1st Dress Up Game
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars February 7, 2012
OK, it does work and it has music. It is a dressup, but no...
Its very basic, with so little options and interest that it holds no interest to me. The black garment with red stripe looks quite good but thats it.
Only dressups with a fair few options, preferably with some animation, maybe background options and better art than this would get over a 1 from me.
Its a start.
Dress Your Snowman!
Rated 2 / 5 stars December 9, 2011
Built 2 snowmen
+ it all works
+ it looks OK
+it has music
- Nothing added or special - most decent Dressups have a little animation etc. or alternative bgds.
- music dull
- I can't figure out what some of the items are- the dark double humps are?
- Spelling, so little writing, you could get it right
Double Humps were supposed to be their feet, Sorry I'm not yet so good at drawing.
Thanks for reviewing.
Africa Quiz
Rated 3 / 5 stars November 28, 2011
Good, but could be more challenging
I got all the questions right first time- although I admit that some where educated guesses.
To test it more, I did it again and got 10 right and 2 wrong. In some cases you can guess a likely answer, which got me through.
Funnily enough, I tried a THIRD time and got 3 wrong, despite having some of the same questions so I will stop now!
+sound good
-music limited and not interesting-needs more music
+art v good
+ animation good, though not interesting or at all ambitious
+ working OK - the walking man sometimes hesitates a second
It would be better if there was a leader board- the scores are pretty meaningless if you have no comparison.
The die should "fall down flat" when it reaches the number, it would look SO much better.
The walking man should look sad when he goes back some.
All in all a functional game, but not at all exciting -nothing memorable or interesting. Also, since you don't get told the right answers when you get them wrong you don't really learn anything.
Compared with my quizzes, which are so limited visually, this one looks SO professional, but the actual quiz is limited and uninspiring, with largely data/numbers questions which are dull.

-Orr- The English Kingdom
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars September 22, 2012
Of course its great! I've never heard any of your work that I didn't enjoy. Great track for a movie.
My only slight criticism is that it is a little too like your Christmas track. Do I just say that its your style... hmm not sure.
-Orr- Prelude
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 26, 2012
Awesome, as ever! It has your recognisable style and conjures an image of an epic movie, so I hope it is one!
The ending made me yearn to know what happens next!
I wouldn't change a thing. As ever, I wish I could create submissions worthy of your music...
Maybe, one day!
Harry's Starbarians Theme
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 23, 2012
Its very good! Maybe the one you chose is a BIT better, but this is a good track and deserves to be used. Perhaps it was unfortunate to give it this name. I would use it. Its got the right heroic sounds and style, the right length etc.

Hot air Baloons
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars Feb 19, 2012
OK. Its kinda pretty and looks OK. I like the sunshine thing, although the shine on the side of the balloons does not correspond with it. The art is not very accurate, of course, with its wierd road and funny shaped balloons, but its stylised and cheerfulIt reminds me of seeing dozens of hot air balloons flying over London once many years ago. Some thing about the colours reminds me or stained glass windows.
Wolf
Rated 4 / 5 stars Dec 20, 2010
good work
Looks good. Love the light effects etc.
Can't understand the pic, though. Falling seeds? Water? Wierd plants in the background?
To be honest, I don't think I would have identified the canine as a wolf, though I can't put my finger on what is wrong with it.
Flash_Mushrooms
Rated 3 / 5 stars Dec 1, 2010
Good, not great
The light on the mushroom makes it look like shiney plastic- great 3D effect, but not realistic for any mushroom I know. Also, the gills underneath come together at a point just in front of the stipe (stalk) instead of around it.
I don't have a problem with the green background except that it is only behind it- the mushrooms need to be growing in and amongst something- if you put a few blades of grass in front and around it, the problems your critics refer to would IMO dissappear.
Try studying some real fungi and improving this one- it would be a good excercise- everyone here draws people and faces- be different!

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars May 1, 2012
This has some effort and potential, but needs work.
the Sound is OK and the music is good.
The animation is limited and uninspiring but does the job.
The plot etc is simple but quite thoughtful. Is there a connection between the intro story and the rest of it? The artwork with those building looks good though slightly fuzzy, then its just matchstick men, which is a disappointment.
What really bugged me is that the text is so hard to read. Most came up dark with the dark man in front of it. I tried 3 times to read it, finally reading most of it, including the spelling mistake.
Right, I am definatley doing a remake. Please review and see how you like it then. It should be submitted by the 20th of may or earlier. Thanks for the review.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars April 29, 2012
OK. I saved this one for old time's sake, but No, I will blam anything else that comes through like this from this revival. I will give you a usable review so you know I am not just being a hater:
1. No button to get back to menu from each one.
2. Carrot's was OK, but Banana was dreadful art, animation, sound -everything and you know it.
3. Spell revival correctly, only the CC get away with crap spelling cos they are CC.
4. the Docks specialised in a small number of movies with some quality to them, including using 3D, camera angles and a better type of voice than crappy Speakonia.
Whoever you are, I suggest if you are at all serious, that you contact the old Docks and ask if you can work with them to make a proper revival.
Look them up on Wikigrounds if you want to know more about them.
Anyhow, I would like to see some good new Dock material, so do go for it!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 29, 2012
Very good art
OK but not great animation. Limited and repetetive, especially the swordplay.
Storyline OK
Good connection to music.
The next step in quality would be animation- truly smooth varied and expressive animation is always really hard- there are no short-cuts to that last stage where it really looks like you did whatever you felt like at whatever angle.
