[The Bill Cosby Fun Game]

.......Bill.....good ol' Bill.

Well..........that was just plain..................funny. You really can't word it any other way. It was a FUNNY FUNNY FRIGGIN GAME! The faces...........Urkel dead in a cave.............Rosie will fix my camera..........this was hilarious.

+Funniest game on NG (well close)
+Pretty Deep Gameplay
+The Sound Bites alone are worth the price of admission

-Graphics......eh....
-Animation...for heaven's sake Bill Cosby has a double jointed shoulder
-Interactivity is there, but I'm POSITIVE there could be more done

[Kalin's Battle Grid]

.....respect good programming.....at least..

I see the coding was though out, hell very well done. The only thing is that the game play and overall game design was poorly done. The game was lacking the ........"game feel". Although you have great GREAT potential for this game to become a classic. Right now it just isn't a well designed project.

+Sounds were decent
+Gameplay could become legendary

-Not ANY design, tedius, bad layout menus
-Not a true single player experience

[Schnappi Shooter]

Nothing here.......but Addictive

Not much here but what is here is enough to give it at least a 3 of 5. You've got an okay grapical presentation and you've got great sound. Funny game, not really gonna get many 5's but it is good enough not to be blamed.

+Decent Sound
+Addictive Gameplay experience no matter how simple it is

-Not much Gameplay
-Okay graphics, but I don't think that was your focus so its okay

[Punichex v.2]

You've gotta know

Yes it is VERY APPARENT this ideal came from Mausland however I wish you would of taken more ideas from them like.......solid animation, higher framerate, better graphics, awesome sound, solid interface, smoother gameplay....etc.......etc. I'm hard pressed to find much about this game to applaud other than.....at least it's sort of like Powerfox.

+Simple Gameplay

-Graphics look to be one spitball short of a trashheap
-Framerate needs to be much quicker, smoother
-Originality, this is the exact same game all together as powerfox

[Take to the Streets]

Don't let the BONE HEADS MAKE YOU!

Listen, I've seen some flashes in my time and wondered why the hell they don't get the respect they deserve. Well that's why I'm now going to take an active role in reviewing games. This was at the least a 4 of 5. You did a great job on this game. I can honestly say I smiled the entire time I played it. You DID BETTER THAN MINIMAL EFFORT and it shows. Keep it up, I surely hope you get some front page love for this, but, this IS newgrounds. Mostly movies get rated good while games get shitted on. Take it from one flash author to another. This game is great.

+Animation is fluid enough and looks cool
+Characters.......was that your family or friends
+Gameplay -- you can take this engine to the stars my man

-Interface is not even close to having any good design

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's meant to be a bit of fun, nothing too serious.

[Metal Freaks Xtreme]

How did this not get a front page spot?

I'm shocked at Mr.Tom Fulp and Co. They know when a good game is good. This right here is CRAZY good. The sound was spectacular. I'm no slouch at AS either, but I have no idea how you programmed this project. Anyway, these are the kinds of games that make flash look like a free super nintendo, or sega genesis. The creation of stellar unique games that transend what some people think we as flash artist are capable of...............this is golden. Hell of a good job.

+:Great Sound and Great Music
+:Longevity, I'll come back for more

-:Interface could be better
-:Music not for everyone

Thanks for the praise =)

I was very impressed with Sky Boarder III btw, I def need to play it some more.

[Zaney Zoo]

Ya know, this wasn't half bad!

I took the time to play this and I actually (although I'm 22) thought this was an example of how flash games can be more than your everyday crap! Great Job making this game PERFECTLY fit the target audience. It actually felt like a real educational game released in a store. This is quality flash, that unfortunately, probably won't get the credit it deserves. I thought you did one hell of a job though.

[Police Bike]

Funny.........and kinda good.......that's weird!

I really thought this game would blow chunks.......I mean I was thinkin this would be the worst game on NG! I was shocked to find pretty fluid controls (not hard to make "slope" code but good choice) funny character interaction, all wrapped up in a very plain brown bag. It wasn't bad, not at all. Make it bigger, and fix those darn digitized graphics I mean ........yuck! This game is a shocker surprise and a sequel wouldn't be so bad either. More sound would help, more game options, better graphics, and you've started your way toward a new promising flash franchise!

[Pimp's Quest]

I'll pimp slap the ho outta you!

Hey, when you make a game with Shenmue-esque QTE's(quick time events for those who don't know)
and you make it in FLASH that is quite the achievement. Great sound, great graphics, and a pretty impressive story (believe it or not), Pimp's Quest is an impressive game. If it had a more streamlined gameplay experience instead of it being so cut and paste, I would of become completely immersed in the game. Don't seperate the segments, make them accessible at any given time in a constantly evolving world. That would be Flash revolution. You've got the game system, why not optimize. Great Game and is deserving of all the respect it has gotten and thensome!

[Kuririn Adventure: HARD]

You may not like it ........but you gotta respect!

This is very diverse! I can't possibly say that I personally liked it, but this game definately has excellent Interactivity.(For once a game that truly deserves a 10 in interactivity). I admire the true innovation you put into this title, the countless dialog that is within, the billions of routes you can go, you just did so much right with this title! I do have a few issues such as the story but I suppose it's not too bad having a different game story every now and again. Also the animation, you put so much effort into making the game work that you lost touch with some of the intangables like animation,graphics,etc. All together a very deep game that fans of the adventure genre wouldn't mind taking a bite into. If only this game wasn't about a toy???....hmmmmmmmmmmm....GOOD GAME!
