[Block Guy]

Well...

The art was pretty well done. I also didn't notice many glitches or bugs at all. My biggest complaint is the unoriginality, but if this is your very first flash game, it is understandable that you would want to try out something familiar. In fact, my very first flash game was a very poorly drawn maze game. :p My other, smaller complaint is that there wasn't (as far as I know) a way to lose the game. Lastly, the game wasn't very long. There was only one level.
I commend your efforts since this is a first flash game. I think you have potential, especially in your artwork. Good job! :)

Deleric responds:

Thanks for the art comments. While I've only just begun touching actionscript, I've been drawing for years. Thanks for the feedback!

[Myosotis Chapter 1]

Wow...

What an amazing game. I really loved the art style and the dialog, and the small details you included, such as when you click on a painting. A few small problems here and there, but mostly perfect.
The main complaint I have is that there aren't any clues for some of the puzzles. I could be wrong, but the first puzzle was entirely guessing the pattern.
Other than that, though, the game really is excellent. Good job. :)

ImpendingRiot responds:

Thanks I appreciate it! Yeah the first puzzle is probably one of the trickier ones, in hindsight. There IS a clue, it's just very subtle. I'm always experimenting, sometimes things work better than you expect, sometimes they don't.

Thanks for the review :)

[Windows XP Simulator Beta]

Eh..

Altogether, for a beginning flash programmer, this was almost decent, however, it lacked any real method to keep the player entertained. The menus weren't very intuitive, as was the case with a majority of the game itself. Most of the things you animated weren't very appealing, and the compressed pictures you used for the OS simulation weren't either. I will cut you a lot of slack because this is a "beta," however, unless you greatly improve the final version, I cannot see it being much better, but only longer. Here are some suggestions from me. The first one is to use variables instead of animating every single frame that the user will see, as I am almost certain you are doing. There are some excellent actionscipt tutorials on NG for variables that will help you a lot if you pay attention to the code and don't just copy and paste it.
Secondly, I recommend that you either take more time with you animating, or get someone else to do it for you (and credit them, of course.) This game looked rather unpolished and rough.
Lastly, I recommend that you learn more in actionscript before you decide to tackle projects like this one. Learn how to quickly and efficiently code things to do what you want them to do. This will help GREATLY, both with time and with the quality of the output program.

Finally, the area of praise in my review is your use of sounds. They sound pretty good, even if they aren't all completely authentic for Windows XP. Good job on that.

3/10
1/5

Thanks for the tips. :)

[A Knight's Quest]

Amazing dialogue.

Overall, this game is really good. The graphics are a strong point in the overall presentation.

Graphics: 10/10, The old-school RPG-style graphics worked exceptionally well in this game. Also, the menu screen is very original.

Animation: 9/10, While most things were great, such as the waterfalls, the water itself was motionless. Although this wasn't a huge problem, there were others as well.

Story: 10/10, The story itself was awesome. The dialogue was laid back and informal, which matches the overall style of the game. In fact, the dialogue was the part that made this game hilarious. Good job with that.

Sound: 9/10, Pretty much perfect.

Overall: 9.5/10 -> 10/10, 5/5

I can tell you are an experienced programmer, judging by this game. I can see you making even better games in the future. Good luck!

:D !

[Final Flight]

First flash game?

This is very good for a beginner. No, excellent. The controls are smooth, the AI is very good, and it has a moderate difficulty.
Graphics: 9/10: The plane models are excellent, as well as the explosions and effects.
Gameplay: 10/10: As stated earlier, the controls are phenomenal, and for a first time flash programmer, it's just amazing. The statistics are great, also.
Plot: 7/10: I know it wasn't really supposed to have one, but a game like this with a nice plot would get very high scores here.
Sound: 7/10: It could be better, but it definitely isn't bad by any means.
Overall: 8/10, 4/5: This plane shooter is very good, and for a beginner, excellent. If you continue your hard work, I can see you becoming a well known programmer. Good job!

umairazfar responds:

Thanks for the words of encouragement. The next one is going to be 10 times better as this one was more of a learning project and I wanted it to be out there to get tips and hints.

[Back to School - RPG]

Good idea.

I really liked the idea of having an RPG like that. If you improve (greatly) on the graphics, you will have a pretty good game.

Good things-
-The programming was better than I could do.
-The stats actually worked.

Bad things-
-Your sentences weren't great, and you used "words" such as "r-tard", and "durrr".
-The graphics were... Terrible. Improve on that next time. Maybe add some cutscenes, maybe work with someone to make the graphics better.

This could be a really good game, I can tell you are good at programming. The graphics are what most people look at though, and improving that could raise your score closer to a 5. Good luck!

Aaronjw responds:

Believe me,
I know they're terrible. :P

I've been trying to find someone who would be interested in completely re-designing all the graphics, or someone who would be interested in making cut scenes, etc. that I could code in, because in all honestly...I SUCK at drawing.
