[Galactic Space Invaders]

Lookin' good !

I haven't commented before on these Space Invader clones, there are quite a few of them in Flash now. But one thing that never seems to be done correctly is the movement of the Invaders.

They don't all move at one time, in the original Space Invaders, they each move one step at a time one right after the other and then repeats to start over again.

Excellent artwork for the original invaders, tank, and saucer.

Good job on usage of raw key searches instead of normal key reading. :)

[Keep'it'up]

Lookin' good !

This game is similar to the one that Gelatin Guy did as an intro for his 99k Wink.

In any case, yours is a full-blown game with great rotating action on the soccer ball.

Very nice !

This is a good game !

[Flash-Helper Vol. 1]

Not good ..

While I do appreciate the fact that you are trying to help other flash developers, this particular issue of audio compression has already been addressed with:

Flash 1-2-3 Volume 2 by Oberon9580

I'm grading for originality here. Sorry. :)

Yeah, I suppose you have a point. But looking at some of the reviews, it helps to give people reminders from time to time.

[Sai: The Shooting Gallery]

Pretty good ..

To those of you out there not being able to move your ship around, make sure your NUM-LOCK is LIT.

It uses the digits, not the arrow key presses, and the [Enter], not the [Spacebar] to fire.

Hitting [Enter] is not always received in a Flash. Max, could you use a different key for firing please for the future version of this shooter ?

Nice graphics, good scrolling background, jammin' music, and responsive controls. :)

thanks for ur comment
we have had enough of this game and we want to try something else
it was a good stepstone for us in terms of techniques

[Atlantis 2 Demo (v.2)]

Nice job !

This is excellent work !
A game quite similar to the famous MYST.
This one is definitely a keeper.

Very well done. Please expand on this !

[New technology]

Well ..

I'm giving you a higher rating for graphics because the animation was actually pretty good for drawing the boxes, circles, and camera.

Calling everyone a monkey is not the start of a successful SWF. :) I got the humor even if some other people didn't.

David

[SPACE ESCAPE]

Well ..

I would have rated a lot higher, this is a NICE game idea with a good presentation but your graphics are out of whack. The orb appears off-screen half the time so I can't see it and the digits for both score and the # of orbs to select, you can only see the top half of the digits.

Clean this up, and I'll be glad to re-rate you again on this.

[Lockagotchi]

Not good ..

Having had the original Tamogotchi, this one had no scale or score in there to tell how well you were doing with your pet. Failing that, it's not much of a game.

Sorry. :)
