Doesn't work

Mouseover = click... your game is broken. Play test your games before you send them to NG.

Game is not broken.It is tested in all browsers, it works perfect.

[Fuzzy Blanket C.W. Beta 1]

Beta?

Don't know if they changed it but i'm pretty sure there's a whole different area where you can submit betas.

Aside from that... the blanket is a little... weird. Consider my suggestions:

The blanket should be a corner tab like thing (think turning page)

The cats should be walking around, then nap (and stop) when "warmed" (animate!)

The chocolates should be smaller - maybe real small and non-moving. And should spawn less frequently. I could have probably played this forever by just clicking chocolates. Maybe make each "warm" put a second on the clock?

There needs to be some sort of opposition force... a different animal that you have to avoid or don't "warm" cats that are licking their balls or something (again, animate!)

Make a background

Give it a timer.

That's about it.

Oh, and the end screen - there's no need for pixelation. This is flash. Just draw the cat.

And submit this to the beta area.

[Continuity]

I can dig it!

I actually enjoyed this game, but got frustrated when i could *perceivably* cross between panels, but could not because they're not "supposed" to be crossable. If you made the puzzles so the open ends did not line up unless they were supposed to, it would be better.

Also, right off the bat, the controls were not explained too entirely well. I got the hang of it after a couple puzzles, but when you don't know what does what the results seem pretty random.

I only played to level... 5 - i'm assuming it gets to the point where there's even more pieces? I hope so - if not there should be.

Thanks for a mildly entertaining couple of minutes - i'd love to see this idea fleshed out - maybe with opposition?

Except it's just a preview

When you click "SUBMIT" you will notice words at the top. These are amongst them:

:"If this is a preview, trailer or demo of an unfinished project, please submit it to NG ALPHAS!"

So you shouldn't submit your preview here. Anyways- i liked it. i didn't actually notice but if people don't like the sound being so loud maybe you should make a button to turn it off or down. if you name the sound say "music", right click on it and go to LINKAGE click on Export for ActionScript and put "music.mp3" in the Identifier box - then add this Action Script to the beginning of your flash:

music = new Sound(this);
music.attachSound("music.mp3")
music.setVolume(100);

That sets everything up so you can use a button to change the volume - make a button and make the onRelease ( music.setVolume(50); ) or something similar. My Action Scripting is not always perfect so that may not work but it's close at least.

I like the music, so i say keep it. and loud!. haha

D!

[El Emigrante: Game]

Not complete...

You need more of those sounds man, where's the music we all know and love? Where's the sounds of the sirens?

That'll make it bigger ;-)

Now that my eyes are dead

wow, well, since i spent the time getting the current high score (4k), i think i should comment.

It's easy. Also, i swear to god nothing dropped when my game ended so maybe there is a glitch or something, but it's possible that my eyes are/were just burnt out of my head from staring blinklessly at the screen for so long.

I think you should mix it up and throw 'bad' foods in there that you have to avoid. Maybe definite levels too if it's gonna be that easy you don't want the whole thing to just become an endurance contest, y'know?

Anyway great game overall - racist? Don't think so.

Oh and last thing - you should make it like tetris and have faster music play the further you get haha

Bravado!

D!

Plentiful Excitement Abundantly Apparent

First and foremost - language. If this is geared towards little kids, then the phrase "attributes to recreate the example" is not going to fly. At all. haha

Next, just a little suggestion - maybe stick some WRONG pieces in there to mix it up! Oh and you'll probably hear this too, but probably should have a sound on/ off switch. that's about that! Better concept than normal dress-up games. Congrats!

D!

viviornetier responds:

on the next update i will include a music box to choose the music and to mute the music ^^
and thx for the idea to put wrong pieces in there ^^ i will certainly use that ^^
yes but i think that little kids don't sit alone on a pc and that there's almost one adult in the neighbourhood ^^

[Xmas Games Collection]

this is pretty good

Y'know, it LOOKS amazing, but there's a few things wrong. The whole thing is so tiny it makes it REALLY hard to read alot of the smaller text, especially in-game.

The second thing is you are exporting your sounds in the first frame, which you need to NOT do for your preloader to work properly. Ask people about it, and they can help you fix that problem.

Otherwise it's really nice, and just needs an update or two before it's perfect.

T-H responds:

Thanks for the tipoff on exporting sounds, I tried turning it off for each loop, but unfortunately that stopped the sounds from playing by default : ( crazy thing.

Anyway cheers for the review ^^

[Guitar Lesson 1]

I play too -

I think you should give this an option to have it progress automatically to the next note after a few seconds, since guitar DOES require two hands.

Also, i personally don't think people should get in the habit of barring a 2xxxx2 chord... it's just illogical to hold so many strings down for two simple notes, but hell, i've never had a classical guitar lesson in my life (until now ;-)

Good stuff - i like the highlightings and everything - most definately a good idea, but again, i think it should have a playalong feature... and maybe you should even be able to slow it down or speed it up if you choose!

Anyways

Nartak responds:

Thank you! I will include one in the next part!

[Jyks Run]

Hmmm

Interactivity could be better - the fight action seems to work fine, but the duck and jump are very very slow. I mean, he's a freakin' ninja, right? Well NINJ! Go faster! Ninjas are fast fast fast and quiet! And cool, right? So do it! You need ninja music... like some sort of fast techno loop or something. yep yep... add stuff. And add levels, that would be nice. Also it'd be cool to be able to attack things in the air, and i never quite got to a point in the game where ducking was necessary (?) Not that i died, i just got bored.
