IceDragon64's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Killbox By JLI]

Not too bad

I don't think I really understood it. I feel this may not be the site for this experimental program or whatever it was but I gave you the benefit of the doubt, just.

If you want to come across as a serious gamesmaker etc. as I think you do, then you need to get your games proofread before submission, the spelling was awful.

[Tetris 2003]

Better without the sound!

Carmen is tasty, but the picture was too small. Black Clock's version is better because it doesn't have the hideous noise. At least give it a sound off button.

[The Tutorial]

I might use this

I haven't seen many tutorials, but this is one of the better ones. I read Kano's review and your reply. I think you both have a point. It is true that to inspire confidence you have to show Flash ability beyond that which you are teaching; however I think you may be right to keep the background simple.
Sound, though, would be a good way of showing ability. Especially since you taught us to do it, you needed sounds as well as the music-bleeps on the buttons etc. I thought the music was OK, but perhaps it needed to change in different parts of the tutorial or something.

Get someone with good writing skills to proof-read your tutorial. remember that in a tutorial, you are a teacher, not a text-talk dude, so it must be perfect grammer and spelling- Having said that it WAS better than most Flash writing. I think Flash should always be written with a capital.
Thank you for this tutorial, I really will give it a go.

Hi-dud responds:

thanks, i like how the new people like this. This is a tutorial for beginners only! thank you, so when you were talking about my writing... were there any mistakes?

[Adventures Of Gilligan]

Good

Liked the game, played it a few times. Not an exceptional game, although it was interesting to play a game that actually got EASIER as I went along and became bigger than the surrounding fish- that was a first!

Good graphics. I liked the background stuff although I did not realise for a while that all the fish that were not red were harmless background objects. I thought the Spongebob was funny.

Music dull, lack of other sounds.

I think it would be better if Gilligan could only eat fish by facing them; then putting in a moment of eating animation would look good-along with some kind of sound. That kind of thing is what would put this into the next level of quality.

[Space Invaders Clasic]

Good Copy

I didn't actually vote on this because I can't get mine to work. No matter what I do it just keeps on showing demo games and the old routines.

I gave it about the highest score (here) I could for something with no originality- as a reviewer said on the last A. In. flash I saw. How mnay A.In. flashes do we need?

It brings back good memories, though.

[Blocks!]

technically good

I liked the scores rising up from it

Sorry, there is nothing basically wrong with it, but it is so like the very common game Clickmania I couldn't pass it.

If you set a time limit and subtracted score every time the player clicked on a single block, you would have a new dimension.
You could add a little humour too, with images like skull and crossed bones in the single blocks when you click on them.

[Super Flash Tutorials]

USING SOUNG?!

This is everything it is supposed to be, as far as I know. I am no expert at Flash, so I caanot judge the material too well, but I will get my colleague MEK to do that. It is very proffesional and, I hope, will be very helpful. It has everything it should have- without taking too long for us non-broadband folk to load. Thank you and well done.

[Candy Catch]

OK stuff

Neat little game. Very seasonal. Liked the idea and the music.
Shame about the spelling. "One of these..." Not "On of this"

Its all there with a preloader, replay, proper instructions.
Thank you
