[The Puzzle Game]

This is amazing!

I can't stop playing it. Simple but addictive and interesting. The makings of a great puzzler.

Check out the mastermind rights and get this set up as an app pronto!

Big fan of your work Swain

[Super Mario Crossover]

This is simply stunning!

I didn't even know flash could emulate this so perfectly. I am really impressed with your work and hope you get nothing but good things and employment opportunities from it!

[Gamma Bros]

Greatest ... Newgrounds ... game ... ever

thats all i can say.

Perfect

[Napoleon Soundstick]

You should add a stop all sounds to all th buttons

would fix one of the major problems

i don't generally like soundboards, but this one had some extra flair to it, so good attempt!

there is one n00b look and s33

[Suicideing Zombies]

Some great programming

I am very impressed. You have a great engine underneath this gem, so you can certainly work with it.

May i suggest you fix a couple things using your gold grounds menu? One thing that i think would really help is if you had sound effects and music ON as a default, since most people are too dumb to look into the options menu and turn it on themselves. It makes more sense to have it on as a default too.

For when you level up and the zombies take 2 hits rather then one, change the way the zombie looks or runs. Just give some sort of indication that the click has worked and he's still not down. Even changing the color of the skin (ie classic old school gaming) would give an indication that it needs more hits

Also, a small complaint, but the main character looks hilarious when he walks... kind of like a sissy dancer. But maybe that was intentional?

Best of luck and great job on the engine!

ssjskipp responds:

Yeah, ask spak about graphics, and thanks, the walking+fireing was the hardest, maby I should make it into a game engine =0, and get that here too =). And the defult was off...well...I guess I overestimated the intelligence of some people on newgrounds =p.

[Tha Viruz]

please please please!!!!

TELL ME HOW YOU KEEP YOU FILE SIZE SO LOW AND SOUND SO GOOD!

I loved Orbox and you continue to make quality titles. So what's the secret? Are you only using minimal frames? And how do you keep you sound crisp but not too file heavy?

GameBalance responds:

? I don't know what u mean. Ok here is some features. If you need to make animation with object get small u better use _xscale-=10;_yscale-=10(for example) it gives less size then motion tween.
And I don't know about sound. In this game it's 64kbs stereo. U can create sounds with short loops and sheets.
Also functions and MovieClip.prototype.hello = function(x,y,health) {} helps.
Maybe I'll put the viruz.fla next month on my site without sound.
Thanks!

[Pixelville Pensioners]

wow, you continue to amaze me

I am impressed by your flash skills.

I wasn't even aware the program can do this stuff (your other projcets included).

So the question is, what do you have planned next?! An RPG perhaps?

gavD responds:

Next?

Heh heh!

1. Take to the Streets engine in a collaboration with a very talented Flash animator (embeeforme)
2. Amoeba Amoeba - insane 1 on 1 fighting action from Team Amoeba with me on code, Protein Chicken on animations (he a PROFESSIONAL ANIMATOR) and Davey J on music (he's known across Europe for his work with a particular band)
3. Pixelville Pensioners II - no, really, it's coming!

[Take to the Streets]

that was really great

I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Were whose your friends you got to volunteer for pounding?

Obviously with all the image capturing, touch ups, sound recording adn programming, this was a super effort

thanks

gavD responds:

Yep, I bribed the lads (and Helen!) with a free case of beer! (actually that's true)

[Bad Dudes vs. Bin Laden]

wow that was great!

Obviously the guy before me is too young to know what he's talking about (nor has ever played Bad dudes on NES or arcade)

that was a great parody of the game and the way america has dealt with the war. I am especially glad you added commentary about the recent prejudices that have arisen from the terrorist attack

thank you

[Johnny Rocketfingers]

fun, but not the best stick figure game

fun, but not the best stick figure game as you self proclaimed.

Xiao Xiao still has a one up on you, but u got style bleeding throgh your cartoon!

and to the guy before me, stop focusing on the key and just shove the screwdriver in the door opening where people "yell at him"
