rvyn's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Recoil]

really good

but there's room for improvement. First, the gun is so easy to use and the ammo is unlimited that there's no reason to use the kick. Create a better balance between weapons. And finally, time ran out but the game kept going...

MindChamber responds:

well, Like I said, its easy to beat the game.. its harder to get high scoring combos with it.. try and get as high as a juggle score as you can in the first go and see how tricky it gets:)

[animotion v.1.4]

Amazing

this is one of the coolest interactive flashes i've ever seen. it's basically flash lite! it's a really neat novelty and once again, you continue to impress me with your versatility! i only wish the system interrupted guy was a character!

HeRetiK responds:

*writing down*
system... interrupted... guy.

[Star Wars Renegade Fleet]

potential

it shows potential, but my main gripe is you using a TIE Defender as an enemy. 1) Defenders aren't part of Star Wars Canon (aka Lucas didn't create it) and 2) they definitely didn't exist back in the Prequel era.

incanus responds:

I understand your gripe, but I wanted to use TIE defenders because they looked cool. :)

[Drawing Hands for Dummies]

nice

simple but well put together. a welcome addition.

un-mediocre responds:

Thanks! :)

[Aliens - Episode 1]

well,

i'd consider this still a movie instead of a game. good mixture of both types, but still more of a movie. i could really have gone without all the humorous bits, which i gotta admit, are not at all humorous. sorry.

funnydoodle responds:

yeah i know that... but there's 2 options to select when uploading works... the first is 'Movie' and the second is 'Game/Interactive' and since this movie sticks to interactive, i chose the second option... hope u understand... thanx btw!

[Better Drawing in Flash]

a novel approach

a novel approach and a noble task. i like the way you explained how flash graphics work, but the example you had isn't too practical. one, if they were to copy a female from a drawing, they can just carefully trace her and it wouldn't take that long. or they can easily use trace bitmap. i think your tutorial was actually more suitable for still drawing than anything else. with flash, especially with newbies, tweening is the most efficient form of animation, and to do this well, you'd have to draw the body in several parts (separated at the joints)

capn-g responds:

First off, I'm glad you liked it. As to your comments, however, I'm a bit perplexed. I wrote the tutorial with it in mind that the end user may not have access to a scanner. Obviously, if the image is actually IN you computer, you can just import it into FLASH and trace it. Not everyone has that luxury. Also, this is a DRAWING tutorial. There is no mention of animation, tweeining or otherwise.
