Could have been better, but not bad.

While I have to say that the evidence which shows you used Windows Movie Maker is easily seen, this was better than what I thought it would have been (and trust me on this, most Flash made with Windows Movie Maker as an extra tool usually comes out looking absolutely horrible, unlike this). I think what really could have helped you is taking some more time to smooth the animation out, which you can do with Flash. It's actually much easier than doing frame-by-frame with WMM. Other than that, I would also recommend that you use a preloader for next time, as even though I had no problems loading a 7 megabyte Flash file to watch it, others undoubtedly will. But your choice of humor is wholesome, and it was worth a few chuckles. You get extra points for using audio from Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series. :)

Animation: 5/10
Sound: 7/10
Humor: 8/10

Overall, not horrible, but could have been better. Keep going.

Brought a smile to my face

Short but sweet, and I like the usage of stop-motion animation. The sound was subtle and unobtrusive which adds to the aesthetics if you ask me. Well done! It was worth a chuckle or two.

Not TOO Bad...

It's not bad considering that this was for a school project, and you're not really planning on absolutely WOWing the public, so it gets a six. Good effort.

BTW, Dutch is close enough to German anyway, so anybody who speaks German at least half a damn can get the gist of it.

Well...

For being ten (or so we are meant to believe) and showing off your Flash skills, you aren't too bad for your age. However, don't use your age as a tool to attract pity. You'll get no such thing, whether you're eight or eighty. Anyway...

For its purpose, the game is stable enough. I didn't encounter any glitches of any kind. You've coded the basic functions well enough; that's where you shine. Your usage of a Link sprite and coin sprite isn't all too uncommon either, so you can at least pat yourself on the back for not failing at the animation structure.

In terms of music... I'm not going to complain about the song itself (but I will mention I'm not exactly a big Lady GaGa fan... Lol...). However, you might want to consider how you use music in your Flash work. Music has a powerful set of tools to use, but just like real life, the wrong music for the wrong situation is like using a pair of needlenose pliers to spread tile grout: it doesn't work. Just consider the themes used in the Flash itself (atmosphere, situational usage, etc.), and be careful with how you use it: it can be decent or a complete disaster depending on how you use it. Just as a side note (take it as you may), Lady GaGa doesn't go over well on Newgrounds.

Just a general tip to go around: take your time. I know you might get impatient, but Rome wasn't built in a day. More time taken to reinforce your artwork and paying attention to detail will make your Flash better overall. Orchestrating, animating, and constructing the aspects of Flash artwork is a reward and a pleasure in itself, so take some time to stop and smell the rosebushes if you will. Then soak in the detail of those rosebushes and apply it to your skill.

You have great potential. I can see it in your work. Keep working at it and pushing forward, and I just know you'll come up with something great. Though people may taunt and belittle you, remember that you can create something incredible with your hands. When that day comes, you'll have the pride to say, "I made that." Good luck on the way. :)

Fun

Pretty fun, I sort of liked it.

Graphics- I really saw no flaws in any of it, except that the sprites were a little small.

Style- This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this.

Sound- Relaxing music in-game, but hated the intro, you could record sound straight from a ROM in an emulator like VisualBoy Advance.

Violence- Really none, obviously.

Interactivity- Goes without saying.

Humor- To make it funny, you need to be a little creative and have a sense of humor.

Keep up the good work!

Addictive!

I must say, this is quite the example of what a Flash game should be.

Graphics- Excellent Quality. I could see everything crystal clear.

Style- Very unique and addicting puzzle game. I'd recommend playing it to anybody who enjoys a good puzzle.

Sound- Wasn't too interesting, adding some music might help.

Violence- There was none.

Interactivity- Part of the game.

Humor- I didn't find anything funny about the game.

I liked it!

Perfect

This sounds absolutely epic. I love the variances between sections, they transition perfectly. When I first started listening, I immediately thought of the Shangri La map from Unreal Tournament 3.

In short, You've captured the feel of a kung-fu/Asian theme to a T. Great job!

KICK-ASS

This song is frickin awesome! I have it on my iPod and I listen to it frequently. I liked the middle part of it with the lone guitar, then all of a sudden being joined by the second. In short, THIS SONG KICKS ASS! I LOVE IT!

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers mate. Hopefully there's more on the way... My computer works again for recording... Kind of!
Thanks for the cool review.

Soulful

Amazing... I loved it! It seemed like something from an anime cartoon or something. Good job!
