SAS: Zombie Assault 2

"Payment System is not Irrelevant"

date: July 21, 2009

I won't lie, I love this game. However, the payment system is absolutely required to get the most out of it. The lack of a continue system without paying is just too much. Furthermore, the guns you get from the payment system are all completely overpowered except the Grenade Launcher, which is far weaker than the Autoshotty. The pulse rifle and Autoshotty make mincemeat out of anything that comes your way, and their magazines are nearly bottomless. Seriously, the Pulse Rifle is more powerful than even the MG4, and once you get it, you can use it right from the start, making everything a joke. Once you have the pay guns, all you need to do is camp in the dining room with the autoshotty and you're basically unable to die unless you try to leave.

Super Stacker 2

"Great game, but..."

submission: Super Stacker 2
date: February 7, 2009

My cat was on my lap while I was playing the game. Because of your sound effect of an angry cat being so realistic, she now thinks my computer is an angry cat.

Seriously, she refuses to go near it now. She already distrusted it before, and now I'll never get her to accept it as just another inanimate object. Thanks, jerk.

GunChest Fighting Game

"I like your flashes, but this is pretty crappy."

date: November 2, 2008

There isn't much to do except punch and kick, and once you win there's nothing else to do. The controls aren't very good, and the AI has a very easy way to prevent you from actually hitting. Half the time I'm just holding a button down and getting easy hits and think it's retarded, and the other half I can't land a hit at all and I think it's retarded.

Your GunChest series is very good, but please stick to making movies. Your games are not very good, but your movies are the best.

Demented Cartoon Movie!

"Best Version right here."

date: November 1, 2008

Everywhere else I try to watch this movie at, the stupid things are out of sync and most of the humor is lost. Glad I finally found this one. Good job on it!

Super Mario bros Z ep.7

"Decent."

date: October 14, 2008

Warning: Contains Spoilers

I liked it, and it does show you're not running out of ideas at least, but it was nowhere near the epicness of the last two previous episodes. I'm not saying it's in any way boring, it's just hard to follow up Semi-Super Mecha Sonic. I guess aesthetics do matter, though, because the 8-bit scenes got on my nerves even though they were innovative. Also, I'd already seen the beginning of the episode in the teaser you released so it didn't "whoa" me like it did when I saw it the first time.

I think releasing teasers like that is not a great idea, personally, even if I did like the teaser at the time. And, hate to say it, but I saw the over 9000 joke a million miles away and even though the fact that it's overused was the joke, it fell flat on its face for me.

The WeeGee joke killed though. I guess memes do work when you use them properly.

I know fights must be very hard to coreograph, but I think my main gripe with the episode was it was TOO MUCH LIKE ACTUAL DBZ. Lotta talking, very light on fighting.

I am looking forward to Ep.8 though. Metal Mario will be an interesting battle. And you better use Metal Mario in 8 because I want to see that fight sooner than 3 years from now, lol.

In b4 I get rated down by rabid fans for not giving it a 10 and going WTFORSUMOLOLOL!!!

Pandemic II

"Great idea for a game, but needs work."

submission: Pandemic II
date: July 15, 2008

Mostly, the AI is way too scared. Madagascar is way too hard to infect. Natural disasters seem to be a bit pointless as everything comes down to chance anyway. A lot of times everyone will just shut down for no reason, giving your disease no way to spread.

At one point, I got notification that the worlds governments were making a vaccine, and by the time they got halfway done I was already everywhere but Madagascar, and every single hospital shut down, so the vaccine could never finish ("time: infinity"). Also, evolution points come waaaaay too slowly near the end of the game. It becomes impossible to do anything but sit there.

Closing of hospitals to prevent the spread of the disease makes no sense. I'd remove it altogether. Declaration of martial law when there are no riots seems arbitrary.

It's still a fun game, but it needs some tweaks still.

"I liked it. Great time-waster."

submission: Intensub
date: July 14, 2008

This is the first flash I've seen use Rose at Nightfall that doesn't suck. In fact it does the track justice. Nice and fast-paced, and most importantly, fun. But why do I have to charge the missile halfway to even fire it? That's irritating. I know there should definitely be measures against missile spam because then the game becomes too easy, but if you have to force a half-charge, indicate this in the charge meter so I know when it's ok to fire, otherwise I waste a click and potentially get hit.

That's a really good point. I'll either address that in an update or add that in the sequel. Thanks!

To make that kind of music with just TF2 gun sounds and a Bass Drum...unheard of. You are truly an artist.

Snake on a Plane-The game

"Unplayable"

Can't get past the biting lesson. The wall is all the way down and nothing happens. You should not submit a flash if it's this buggy.

VZ Series: Ryu V Sean

"Looks a little unpolished."

date: July 12, 2008

It was a good flash, and I liked it, but it did definitely highlight the main reason everyone hates sprite flashes: it looked lazily animated. Another thing that bothered me was that it looked like a couple of noobs were going at it. They barely even tried to block and a lot of times they just let the other guy hit them. Try recording a good, close match of Street Fighter and try to make it look a little like that, except MORE epic since you aren't limited by game mechanics.

Also, "Sprite Credits: MUGEN" is very, very vague. Mugen is a community-creation-based fighting game, and thus the sprites can be made or ripped by anyone. You have to give names! From the looks of it you got the sprites for Ryu from Phantom of the Server (PotS)'s character. It is EXTREMELY important that you give names though, because those sprites might have been used by more than one person, trying to make a different version of Ryu.
