[Mohaa Tutorial (flash mx)]

Pretty good ..

Do you think you can make a tutorial for writing a Flash GAME not a movie, from beginning to end where you specify which menus to select from FLASH 5 ?

That might help out a lot of people.
Great job on this tutorial.
I see I have my homework cut out for me now. :)

First thanks, but it's for flash 6 and my program is in another language, so dare not to translate it. and all I do is tell you the directions.

[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:

Compression Tutorial by Trunks62

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.

[Roadkill Game v1.0]

Damn ..

That's an awful lot of people just standing in the middle of the road waiting to get run over. :)

David

[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

[Bomberman Adventure]

Nicely done ..

A Pick-Your-Own-Path adventure for Bomberman !
NO, you didn't steal the Bomberman graphics, but YES you did look at them to see how they were rendered and then doodled them based on the pictures you had of them. That's fine ..

Story goes on a pretty long ways before you are given choices ! What I'd like to see (if it's possible) is less of an intro and more choices to make in the beginning. Good job on making this though !
:)

David

[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 !

David

[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.
