"I dont know who "homestar" is.."

submission: Ask Taco-Man: Rip-Off

date: June 1, 2009

and honestly if people are getting on your ass about stupid shit like copying a 'ask insertcharnamehear site' their full of it, people have been doing it for years, hell back before the internet was to vast, mailing folks and hoping to have their questions answered. Nice that you didn't have the character completely lose it thou, and threw a bit of humor in instead. Thou I'd suggest aiming toward more of the random questions next go or less of the homestar or whatever people gripe about next time.
Question for Taco-man : How do you handle droves of idiots since you cant legally shoot them?

"Yeah, don't submit crap like this again..."

submission: End The Stick Films!

date: May 5, 2009

Follow your own advice, your average stick animation is far better then this, and your 'well drawn guy with a sword' was ok at best. With crap for animation. Before you run around critiquing a style of flash, make sure you can at least animate what your telling others to do. However, the type of sticks you portrayed here, we're indeed crap, and much like any other flash, crap comes in every genre not just stick, this flash for instance... I suggest brushing up on you animating skills before submitting again, and I don't know, actually looking at a few good stick animations. If you end up not liking stick after seeing good stuff, your not going to, your never gonna change others opinions on it(thus the greatness and great freedom of Newgrounds) so do yourself a favor and don't watch them.

"Congradulations"

submission: Twilight: The Broodening

date: March 23, 2009

You took a shitty movie, and made it even worse... I didn't think it could get worse... wow... Was twice as boring as the actual movie, if you were really aiming to point it out in this manner how bad the movie was, you should have thrown in alot more comedy to keep the view interested. Good idea, but too close to the bad movie that it only ended up worse...

"Almost perfect, but you made one very big mistake"

submission: Super Mafia Land

date: February 16, 2009

This is without a doubt based off of Super Mario Bros. 2. You left out 1 key aspect that both made it easier on the player as well as made certain situations possible. Jump being a button rather then up... biggest flaw you could have put in, cant jump on vines, cant jump near doors, cant jump vine to find to kill the crawler ladybug things like in Mario 2. Also Luigi(the green guy don't much care on rename) jumps ridiculously high. Like 1 super jump skips a vine high. Your movable blocks are glitchy, if you drop it at a stand still it sometimes thinks there's a block under it and magically floats 1 block higher. The bombs also go off a second or 2 too fast making them near impossible to use for anything , took me 10 tries just to get a few off properly on the first lvl going through the door. Those are minor things, the biggest flaw is jump, making it up really ruined the game for me, a lot of stuff I could do in Mario 2 couldn't barely be attempted and after level 2 I stopped, wasn't worth the time. This is an amazing game with tons of potential but not having a separate key for jump ruins it for this old school gamer.
Oh and by the way you got "Maria" AKA Peach's jump just right, last long enough to get around and short enough to avoid massive abuse.

"I went throu all 40 waves"

submission: Knights Castle

date: January 22, 2009

Before your halfway throu the game a large portion of the spells become useless. Infact the only low lvl spells that had any use were the healing spells and the shield, firewall only proved useful if used at the far east side of the screen(right side) right before the wave started in hopes of catching a caster. I had up to 5 fuel barrels in one area at one point and set them off with the fireball without even denting most of the monsters(exception being those you could actually kill in a few hits with the sword.)
The only way I was able to beat this was to keep full attention on me while running the entire game. (Except for early on where my castle got down to probably 10-20% cause i had to run for fear of dieing, and it never got hit again from that point.) Wich is less "Knightly" and more along the lines of a "Magician" or "Wizard". Infact the boss fights after a certain point are pretty much impossible without spells as there is no way to up your very very low sword damage. It is possible to melee them to death, but to do that for every boss would take HOURS.
As for the final spells, Meteor was useful for a while and gradualy became weaker as the game progressed, to the point that i was often using it in place of firewall, and lightning seemed a great deal more powerful then it. Fire Angel, at first was nice, but turned out that fire a final between the two it seemed easily weaker then Satans touch or w/e it was called and Gods ball. Cranking all the finals on a single set of mobs as well as some fuel barrels and firewalls often took more then one set to take down later waves, wich is a bit extreme.
Overall, dont get me wrong this was a great game, I enjoyed every moment of it, but its a bit misleading to call it "Knights Castle" when for 75-80% of the game will be spent leading monsters in circles or getting them to attack air until your next round of spells is ready to go.
All that aside, the animation was nice, the music was alright thou you may wanna consider on future projects to have it change as the game goes on cause it does get old. As well as throw in actual upgrades for the castle or knight, like upping your damage or armor so you can hack some faces off and not run constantly. Maybe and ability that allows you to repair the castle? Yeah its possible without, but would still be a nice addition. Not necessarily for this game, but for future games or a sequal to this even. You also may want to make the skill tree branch a little differantly next time around, I wasn't sure weather you needed max on both for fire angel or not till i could click it.
I know I'm writing a lot of suggestions and negativity, I just hope you don't take it the wrong way, theres a ton of potential here, and room for improvement for an already good game.
The spriting was very nice btw, good quality for such small sprites, could actually tell what they all were for once rather then squinting and guessing why a peg legged pirate gnome with buck teeth was coming after me. The controls were smooth as well, thou the monsters could move diagonally while your stuck in the plus pattern, thou that did add some fun difficulty to it.
Overall this was a great game, I hope you make a sequel and improve upon what you started here :).

"That song!"

submission: The Assumption Song

date: September 27, 2008

I found that song once ages ago web surfing, to think someone made a flash of it, nice, slightly differant ending on the song then the one i heard, but still great. Great job. You should look for more songs like this to flash up :-D.

"Eh..."

submission: Awesome Video Games Ep34

date: July 27, 2008

The fact that its not a flash aside, this wasn't all that great. Calling it codes outright always was bad labeling, many games have 'continuation codes' especially older ones like NES due to not having the save ability. Allowing you to play a game, quit and pick up where you left off. You did include saying 'cheating' but not putting the two together just didn't work. As for the overheating Nintendo, I've got my nes red hot just playing any game far too long, they don't smoke :-P(and if your dumb enough to get it to smoke in the first place you've probably destroyed a classic system :-P)

Overall could have been a lot better, and should contain more, flash animation when on this site. Defiantly not front page material, how it got here, only the flash gods know, course you get things worse then this on front page(far worse) at times so i guess i should count my blessings.

"Great series!"

submission: Bowser's Kingdom: Eps 10

date: June 19, 2008

This is a great flash series, even the side bits ya do now and then(ganon)
Gotta say I love the fact that you got a turtle as one of the main characters as well, thats awesome :-D. Turning Mario into pretty much a Sit-com with great comedy that you just wouldn't expect. This is TV worthy stuff! Its too bad you could never convince Nintendo to go for this, ah well, look forward to this series continued in the future. You may not be able to become rich and famous on it but your an NG star and the net :-).
