CaptCouch's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Legend of Zelda:LOL]

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. :)

[[R3R] Poke-Town v1.5]

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!

[D.N.A]

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!

[Tetris light edition]

Well...

Yeah, it needs some work. You could have added some music. I reccomend using one of the many Tetris tracks on the NG Audio Portal. Smooth graphics. I like it. I think that this will make a fine addition to the portal.

[Build Your Own Robot]

Not Too Bad

Yeah, it was okay. Pretty fun for me actually (however, even the simplest of games entertain me). There could have been a few more parts, but other than that, it was pretty good. I liked the music selection, too.

[Conflict Zone]

Not too bad for a beginner, but...

Well, it seems okay for a new animator's first flash game, but I can just sit there and advance to the next level. Perhaps you could design the enemies a little better, add some weapons according to the scenario (AA Gun for air force, for example), and have a limit you have to hit to get to the next level.

[.:WindowsNG:.]

Umm... Hmmm...

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great, either. I didn't find much humor in it, except for the running in circles with Half-life and Pong. Try adding a few more things to it, like some favorite links in the browser.

[Shoot Kim Jong-il]

All Right

The game was okay, specifically because you get to shoot that son of a bitch, Kim Jong-Il. That's why I play games like Mercenaries, where you kill evil dictators. I got a pretty high score. Perhaps you could have multiple levels or something like that.

[Escape from Helltowers]

Excellent

Sleek, Hi-def, and original. It reminded me somewhat of Doom. Excellent game, however, it could use some improvement. You could keep the enemies on a certain path and add a duck option. Other than that, it was very good.

[ThiefBaum's World]

Pretty good game

That was a great game, I liked it! I lost at the YTMND level which was somewhat ironic.
