[CC Fight Club]

this SHOULD have been so great

I was excited to find out that the CC Fight Club game was out, I remembered hearing about it a long time ago and thought it strange I hadn't heard of it earlier. Then I thought, "only Daily 3rd place??"... well, I understand why now. It's a GREAT presentation, the characters look really cool, the more hurt they get the more hurt they look, the "chose your fighter"-screen is lovely too... but the game itself... I kept thinking "It should be better than this... it probably is... maybe it's just this character who's wrong, I'll start over again with another"... but it just didn't get fun. It never got to be a real fighting game, which is a damn shame. Well, if you ever make a sequel, hopefully you won't be forced to rush it again. Good luck with future flashes!

cableshaft responds:

I agree, it was rushed, but now it's almost 6 months later and I'm still not sure what needs to be done to make the core gameplay fun. Get ahold of me and we can discuss it, Neostone.

[_ULTIMATE TUTORIAL 2_]

seriously

it wasn't any good. at least not the flash-section or the NG section, the two I bothered looking through. You hardly know any action-scripting and what you've got can be found in a more comprehensible and better worded form at flashkit, (and loads of other places too)... the few scripts that are worthwhile were taken from other sites or other people, and you don't even seem to understand how they work yourself... and about the NG-section, not the least impressed, just what's on this page and little more, only you managed to include some misunderstandings as well (review crew pick isn't chosen by tom or wade, it's based on the score of the reviews, d'uh)... and to top it off, horrible and uncoherent graphics and design. You might have tried hard, but really... I recommend everyone to visit flashkit instead of trying to learn anything through this copy-and-pasted "document"...

GAMECUBICLE responds:

If you look on flashkit you have to look a long time before you find something. i dont think you read trhough the whole flash part, only the actionscript part. CAUSE THIS ISNT ONLY A ACTIONTIONSCRIPT PART YOU BLIND MONKEY!
Bitch....

[Take to the Streets]

maamaa, as the Japanese say (they really do)

I thought it would be better, after having seen the alpha. Controls were really poor, and even if you walked in front of the other characters the movie clip was still behind them..! it must have been a huge effort but I'm sorry, I don't think the result is any good. but surely a great laugh for you and your buddies, and maybe that's what's most important.

gavD responds:

OK thanks man

[::Drops Of Love::]

well

I'm not saying you just took this from a tutorial and changed two things around but I'd say chances are pretty high you actually did... not necessarily from this one people.artcenter.edu/~vanallen/scripting/2004fa/scripting_w
k08c.html
but they've got the exact same game there... if you didn't, well whatever even if you did, I think it's a good sentiment to try and make a valentine's day game but you didn't try very hard to make it something good, now did you...

TheSchizmoExperience responds:

Actually, I didn't take this game from that tutorial. I used several little tutorials from around Flashkit as a base for the coding, and then added to it as I saw fit (Which was rather hefty now that I think about it o.o;;)

The only 2 tutorials I used were one for falling snow, which I edited for all the hearts and flowers, and a Cursor tutorial, but rather than use a cursor, I just dropped the alpha levels on a tiny black dot.

[Pencak Silat 2.1]

NG's best fighter

probably NG's best fighter. loads better than my Portal Fighter II, at any rate.

Jannata responds:

Thank you. I enjoyed your Portal Fighter too.

[Twig Assassin]

What is motivating the high score?

I can' find anything. This is just a simple point and click shoot 'em up, a matter of simply pressing buttons. And it has 3.40? Eh... no, this is very, very wrong

Gerbens responds:

You should look at is as a whole. And besides... It's just a game.

[Murder Project]

great!

this is the kind of thing which makes me hate Newgrounds; the low score this game has got, and the high score "Kick Osama bin Laden's ass". This is one of the best games I've seen on Newgrounds, deserves a spot in the top50, but sadly, considering the average Newgrounds user, this will not even get close. Great work anyway.

Feshom responds:

Thanks man. It takes a person who's put effort into something to realize what you have said, and not many people around here put very much effort into anything. It's good to find a kindred soul every once and a while.
