[Game Tutorials: Platform]

I Love the HitTest for the Walls

I use that hitTest for just about every game I make! I'll mess around with the radius variables someday and figure out what the code actually means... I read your explanation and it was good, but I couldn't quite understand what each individual word did, so a more accurate explanation would be appreciated. The enemy scripts were more complex than they had to be, and there are some MUCH more easy ways to do those kinds of things. Anyway, the wall detection alone is all I need, as it will work for overhead or platform designs, or just about anything else for that matter! I've used the script more times than I can count.

[Portal: The Flash Version]

Best Puzzle Game Ever!

I'm loving this! It's got simple yet effective graphics, great smooth gameplay and the little bits of animation in the game, great sound effects, and overall just about a perfect game. I had to watch the YouTube walkthroughs at times when it got insanely hard, but it's still great! There are some glitches though; sometimes if you throw a Companion Cube through an awkwardly placed portal, it will return to its original position at the start of the level. Another glitch is that in a few areas where there are dark wall spaces and the little tubes you can shoot portals through, you can angle the portal at just the right place so that you can shoot a portal where you're not supposed to be able to. I love level 31, and for a while I was coming up with several new strategies to beat it every day for like a week.

[Warzone Tower Defense]

Too Complex...

I started it, but it was simply so complex that you couldn't understand what you were doing. I enjoyed, simpler tower defense games like the original Tower Defense and the Bloons versions better, because they were simpler. Simplicity in the game itself promotes complexity in the player's strategy, and because of this, I enjoy a simpler brand of defense games. Still, great graphics, great script, etc.

[King of Cursors: X-MAS]

Awesome!

People shouldn't slam on this just because it's a maze game. This is the second best maze game I've ever played! The easing on the mouse, the layout, the anti-cheat, and everything else! There is nothing bad to say about this Flash, except that maybe some of the walls are too thin, and would be easier to distinguish if they were thicker.

[ultimate flash sonic]

Amazing

I found it to be a very fluent, fast, fun, and simple game. However, at times, there were parts where the gameplay seemed to be a little more complex than it needed to be. Still, amazing job, and what a small filesize as well! I don't know how you did it!

[:the game:]

Interesting

As all of the earlier levels were the same, I couldn't manage to muscle through all of them, but I went through the level select and screwed around a bit, and found a remake of the old Asteroids game. Most of the games are the same that just make statements about society, which makes it almost more of a movie than game, or even an essay. I found the game quite interesting and perplexing, and I was quite interested and captivated. It has the kind of pointlessness and humor of an RRRR game, yet has a bit more structure, some redeeming graphics, and is much larger than any other file by RRRR I've ever seen. All in all, this game is pretty good, very influentional and interesting, and quite original.

[Fade Tutorial]

Too Short

I was expecting a bit more, and was disappointed. The filesize is way to big for such a small file, the music isn't too good, and you teach an already well-known point. You could also expand on a Movie Clip's features, such as Bevel, Glow, Blur, Tint, etc. and perhaps telling people this works with text, too. The only thing that puzzled me was how your buttons didn't make the cursor turn into a hand. How did you do that?

[Virtual Swear Bear]

Stupid

I don't know if this is a noob attempt or spam, but this isn't too good. The bear says the same thing over and over when you click it. You could make it cycle through a list of sayings, or have multiple bears or even a customizable bear! This just wasn't enough, and isn't portal quality. If you regularly updated this, it might be worth it, but as it isn't, this is pretty much just a waste of time. Very poor, but has potential. Also, this is NOT suitable for all ages.

[Cursing Keyboard.]

Funny!

The game looked pretty boring, but was actually really fun! I spent a bit of time just playing some songs, then tried out the built-in songs and beats. A few pitches were off, but other than that, very fun, surprisingly addictive, funny, and interesting!

[Daily Mouse Maze 10/29/08]

Dude...

These are the same things every time! Just some weird maze you find on the internet, no doubt, then host up here one submission at a time. Each submission is increasingly annoying, and barely an inch above "spam" level. The way I see it, you're dodging Wade and the spam genre of submissions, but only barely. These are annoying, repetitive, bad, and I know you know these are just spam. I've said it once and I'll say it again: B was funny, but it was only funny because it was the only spam submission that bad that passed (of its time). When a bunch of copycat submissions follow, it not only spoils your own reputation and the joke in the instance of the submission, but it wrecks StrawberryClock's work too!
