Goombas Weird Day

"Okay..."

submission: Goombas Weird Day
date: May 16, 2009

This flash was nothing that great and had in my opinion nothing that great at all.
First of all the graphics were drawn by you I think so this is a positive point for you.Negative is the graphics are compared to many other submissions not drawn with an acceptable skill for a good rating in graphics.
The music was strangly the thing which made me like the flash somehow.
The beginning music was fitting,one Super Mario Bros. theme but in the end there was another song.I wondered what it was because from somewhere I knew it and when I listend to it,I realized it was "Requiem For A Dream".
It is gives your movie something strangly because accualy the movie made in my opinion no sense at all.The goomba just walked through three scenes and died in the last one I think.But because the goomba died that tragic with the music to it it made me smile.
I think the rest of the flash had no point worth mentioning.The musics were overlaping,the block was still wlking while it was talking to the goomba and overall it looked amateurish made.
All in all I gave you a weak 3/10 and voted 2/5 because it had something I liked about it so much that I wrote this review about it.

The Arrow Of Time

"Originally And Cool Game"

submission: The Arrow Of Time
date: May 14, 2009

This game reminded me of a game I played some years ago with a friend of mine,called Bow Man.Bow Man was boring after a while mostly because the tow bow men were just standing at the same position and once you knew how to hit the other one the game was over.But I liked the gameplay,specially the feeling of shooting a bow.Your game gave me this feeling again and the targets I had to hit were moving.
The graphics for this game were good.The eras all had their own enemys and the background was fitting to them.The menu was designed cool as well and I do not see any negative points in the graphics for this game.
The music was one of the greatest spects in this game.Every era had its own music and sound style so you get all pojts for sound and music.
The gameplay was okay but unbalanced.The worst thing about this game was the balancing problem.Piercing arrow and homing arrows were a deadly combo,and with explosive arrows you could stop any wave of normal enemys easily.All other arrows and in my opinion especially the time arrow were useless.The strangest thing was I time arrow tier two were stronger then tier 3 because in tier 2 they stopped the enemy while in tier 3 they just put the enemys one era back.The defensive structures were useless for their high prces as well so all in all the game was unbalanced as hell and the baddest point about it.
The idea of channging through different important eras of mankind was great.I enjoyed this trip through history and combined with the changing music it gave me a magnificent feeling.
All in all your game was great but because it is that unbalanced I can not give it a ten.
Because I enjoyed the idea of going through history you gain one point so overall I give you a weak 9/10 and voted 5/5.

Epic Battle Fantasy

"Magnificent Game"

date: May 12, 2009

Playing this game reminded me on great RPGs like Final Fantasy orChrono Trigger or Lufia.
What really impressed me in this game was the graphic and the animation.The characters moved to their enemys to attack them and they had a real attack animation and it was animated great.The background looked cool as well and the attacks had impressiv effects for a flash game.So the graphics gave you one big positive point.
The music and the sound was perfect as well.You used some music of "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" I think and I enjoyed listening to different musics for each setting.
The gameplay was okay but at some points it lacked the balance.I do not know if there is a strategy for every sword so that it gets really strong but I just fought with the life draining blade or the mana draining blade because all the others seemed to be useless to me.What annoyed me was also,especially on the higher difficult levels you do not have some sort of continue.If goku kills you on epic difficult just because he spams spirit bombs it is more then depressing.It did not happen so me luckily but if it would have happend to me I think I would have gone into a rage.
What is sad about the game is it did not have any sort of story,no leveling and exept for the choice of sword no equipment for the characters.
In my opinion this game could get a really epic game if you would add a save system so that you don not have to start all over again.Secondly a sort of story so that I know why I have to fight through hordes of monsters and bosses to fight a zombie goku and destroy half of the world.And thirdly more RPG feeling.By this I mean that you can train your character,for example make a world map where you can choose to fight monsters you already beat and gain experience and cool items for this.
So overall this game was fantastic and I was impressed by the graphics and animation and the work you put into it while I played it but I see room to improve it.
So overall 9/10 and I voted 5/5.
