[3D Sugar Glider]

The Potential Is Shining

This game is interresting, and a lot of work has been put into it (it shows). My AS knowlegde is very limited, but this simple game shows that the engine has potential.

The graphics are great, especially considering how you had to strike a fine balance between eye-candy and framerates.

Gameplay is sorta' cookie-cutter. Nothing too challenging, but it was a nice way off showing the engine.

Not the greatest game, but it sure has shown that good 3D games are possible. I hope to see other 3D games by you in the future! :)

Cheers.

[Monoliths Mario World 2]

Not without its flaw's

One of the main-factors that made the original Super Mario Brothers a great game was its tight controls.
The various shades the control-scheme had was impressive, and really made the game to much more than it looked like.

This translation is a little ugly, as the smooth controls has been lost somehow, making the experience dumbed down. The jump key could have been set to arrow up, it would have been more logical. The 'S' key never really changed a thing for me.

Combined this assured that Mario is able to nearly float when he jumps. Which is all but pretty. The graphics are ripped and thus won't improve your score. In reality, this game still feels like most other that did the try;

Close, but not quite.

[Coffee Shop]

Review and Hints

I absolutly loved the amount of effort and work put into this game. You and Jeff Wofford seem like a good team.

The game feels a bit more polished than the classic, Lemonade Stand which is really intriguing as it adds some fresh ideas to an already solid game formula. Really, just keep up the fantastic work.

If there will ever be a sequel or update, think about adding upgrades that you can buy for your shop; a frigde so the milk won't spoil, a more fancy coffee shop apperance so that the costumers willbe more "attracted", etc.

HINTS
Start out with the games own coffee formula, but add as much milk as possible. Make sure you can serve about 18-23 cups a day. Everything above is a little optimistic in the start.

Set the price to 2.00$ on cold days in the start, and drop the price down to about 1.70$ on the hot ones. Expand the price and formula as you gain money :)

Simple and entertaining

A very entertaining, and yet- simple game. This totally works out, as the game is running smooth, and has no apperant bugs.

As for now, it's hard to give any critism, as the game works a 100%. I'm going to be bussy playing it anyway ;)

Cheers!

[Captain Zorro]

Interresting and 'arcade-like'

Captain Zorro is a actually entertaining. The game itself is very smooth. I diden't experience any bug's, nor glitches. This is always give's extra points.

The graphics were great, and really worked out, as they really complimented the style, which was not unique, but at the same time, it was. Many of this type of games seem dull to play, but this was fun.

The sound was good, and fit the game. Thus, you archieved a good score in sound.

A good game.

Cheers

[The Last Stand.]

One of THE best, if not the best

Never have I played such a entertaining horror game! Everything from the loading bar to the actual game was swell.

It had a special feel to it aswell. It diden't feel like a simple "click-click-click" defending game. And because of that, I played it all trough till the 20. night :)

I experienced no bugs, no flaws, or thing out of place.

[Golden Arrow 3]

"Are You Drunk, Melord?"

Haha, nice little game. I liked the targeting. It was challeging. The grahpics and style are all good. I really like it actually.

The sound is fitting. No annyoing background music for this kind of game. A nice touch with the outburst of claps when you hit a good one.

Theres a few thinks that could have been implented for more fun.

A thing such as a highscore list would be perfect.

Cheers!

[Five 'til]

Fantastic Mini Game Fun!

I had so much fun with this game! It fully delivers everything in one package :)

The music somehow fits right in to the game. It perfectley fits to the games style. The interactivity in this also amazes me. So many minigames, all well thought off. The fact that you have 5 minuttes to go trough them all makes you more aware. The pace is fantastic in this game!

There is one little downside though. The guards are rather small, especially when you see them besides the nameless SWAT (Or whatever) hero. The guards look much off.

But an fantastic game!

Thumbs up, I look forward for more flashes by you in the future!

[+Basic Animation Tutorial]

Self Critism

Sorry to break it for you. This 'tutorial' isen't good. You can't make a tutorial before you are above average. I once made on myself, and guess what: I made the same mistake as you.

Please learn some flash, and when you get a flash average thats over B, you can make all the tutorials you like :)

Yeeahh, I asked for contructive critisism...
what do you mean by learn flash. I have animation knowledge and basic actionscript knowledge. What else do I need to make a simple tutorial for begginers?
