"Good game, but fatal technical flaw"

submission: Upgrade Complete!

date: December 8, 2009

While the game and concept are both quite good, it suffers from an error where after upgrading, all ship parts (including the basic gun) are erased, making it potentially impossible to continue in the game. This coupled with the fact that there is no "erase data" button have made this game completely unplayable for me now.

Evidently this issue has been fixed in v 1.6 on other websites, but it doesn't appear here nor on ArmorGames' official website.

Score: 3

"Requires more playtesting"

submission: Taddy The Tadpole

date: June 12, 2009

From what I played of it, this game is rife with what's called "fake difficulty"

Not difficult because the situations are challenging or interesting in some way, but difficult because the controls are nigh-unusable.

The game doesn't LOOK that bad, but it's frustrating to play rather than enjoyable.

Score: 10

"+1 bonus point for using my planet trick."

submission: Take Over v2.0

date: January 3, 2006

Hmm, this one was a lot more straight forward than a lot of your stuff. Still good though. I really liked the detail in the explosions and some of the vehicles.

Your stuff just keeps getting better, man. If I could think of something to improve, maybe it would be... modular characters? Characters composed of several pieces so it's easier for you to animate them smoothly.

Score: 1

"Wrong area of the site."

submission: Foamy: Hurricane Special

date: August 30, 2005

If you're going to have a long, pointless, obvious rant about how the media doesn't actually care about the people affected by the stories that they report, we have a section of the site for that.

It's called the BBS.

The portal is for animation. This was not animated. Try to remember that next time.

Score: 1

"Nice try, but no cigar."

submission: Fiddle and the Drum

date: December 24, 2004

I realize you tried to pluck on the heartstrings of the viewers, but I see this for what it really is, a shitty montage of tweened pictures behind a translucent picture of the US flag.

Not really worth the score it's getting, since you didn't create any of the content in this movie.

And don't try to brush me off as a Bush supporter or something stupid, I hate Bush and I'm anti-war, but that doesn't mean I want you crapping up the portal with a bunch of pictures you found on google to the tune of some sappy sad song.

In other words: There was nothign I particularly liked about this flash, if you want to improve, I suggest actual animation or work of some kind.

Score: 2

"How could it have taken five people?"

submission: Adam Fultons Day

date: December 11, 2004

Seriously, this could use improvement in every category. I imagine the work for this being split up like one person owning MS paint, on person with no hands doing the drawing, on person owning a microphone, one person owning the microwave the the sounds were recorded inside of, and one person owning a copy of flash to cobble this monstrosity together.

Seriously, it's been done many times before, and this movie had the potential to be another funny livecorpse movie, if it wasn't so damned incomprehensible. Generally, in a collaboration, people play to their strengths, that's why there's multiple people involved. This looks like the five people were five starving monkeys thrown into a sack with a dozen squirrels and a computer, and this movie was the result of the random noises, keystrokes, and mouse movements.

Just try to improve that, and you'll be fine.

Score: 6

"I know a lot of peopel won't appreciate this."

submission: SmallGames:TunnelExplorer

date: November 30, 2004

But it's pretty impressive, coding and compressing this game into a mere 1.2 kb

Don't worry man, your skills as a programmer have not gone totally unnoticed, even if this doesn't make it past judgment.

By the way, I voted 5, as an attempt to, if just slightly, cushion the blow of people who don't notice the filesize, or voted 0 because of the file size.

Score: 7

"Some comments and a question..."

submission: Naruto Tribute

date: August 18, 2004

I thought it was pretty good, a bit strange and somewhat choppy, but not anything disagreeable to watch. Just keep working on developing your skills and ou should do pretty well.

Also, I've been trying to find out what that song is called and who it's by for a couple of years now, mind telling me?

Score: 9

"Man, I saw the UFA segment in Alien Hominid..."

submission: UFA

date: August 4, 2004

And I wondered "Why doesn't anybody recognize this?"

I was SURE some of the NG old-timers would recognize it, as it was such an amazing game back in the day (and still is). I honestly thought there would be a bigger recognition before you had to draw attention to it like this. Was I the only one who saw it before seeing this submitted to the portal?

Well, it's great to see now that you've submitted it to the portal so people will remember it/know about it. An all-time classic.

By the way Tom, I'm still waiting for the sequel >:)

Score: 7

"I liked how you added the option thing at the end"

submission: Malfunction

date: May 4, 2004

But really, the idea was just ripped off of Squigo.

Of course, you did come up with more endings, and you did all new graphics, and that's really the bulk of the work.

Good job, just try to be a tad more original :)
