[VDay Blast]

Nice game, but buggy

The game itself is nice, pixelated environment and tandy music have their charms no matter how much used.
You coined the old team-work game form pretty fine, but the game lack anything original, aside the connection to valentine's day, through which I assume this flash got to frotnt page, but as a "valentine present" I think it'll do.

One thing though - when I gathered the required 75 hearts (somehow I gathered 76 hearts even), it triggered my sound system off - using laptop with speakers connected to it, it seemed to confuse the laptop, and the audio stream flew both from external speakers as also laptop speakers. I am using Opera and Windows XP, with integrated Realtecl soundcard. Though I doubt this information will help you as a flash creator, please, try removing the sound bug :(

Overally 6/10 for your work.

um, i think the sound bug had nothing to do with the game, actually. it was probably a background process.

but thanks

MAGNIFICENT idea :D

Ever wanted to dance-dance revolution your favourite songs?
Now you can! Just turn on the music on any player available and get ready to hit the keyboard.

NOTE
The game will react only to clear sound of perticular volume - if the arrows are not appearing, get it lauder :)

This helpful gadget/music/game lets you choose any .mp3 music and uses engine based on mic input, so be sure to set the in-comp volume volume to a decent level, along with the input recording level if you happen to have it.

Of course, this is clearly an attempt to show the idea to the public, and the project will be becoming better if it is accepted by others.

I'm just eager to see the FULL version of that.

P.S. To the author
Good luck!

Great game

Graphics:
Nicely done, they are cheerful to the eye :). Animation is quite flawless.

Style:
An original with a good taste.

Sound:
Easy for ear, and through nothing special, it's good it is nice to the ear.

Violence:
Mines leaving scraps of your ball on the level are just awesome :).

Interactivity:
Thou it's good the ear, I think that the controls are MIXED. The arrow kesys should be the ones responsible for moving 2D in horizontal dimension, while the W-S keys should be used for changing hight.

Overall, a very nice game :)

[Babeball Teaser]

Super idea:)

I really like the style of this. A bikini lady running like a humster in a bal XD.

Graphics are like not good, really, pixels and stuff doesn't amaze people, it see it was all homemade. But the way the author uses his graphics is more important, and in this here i give my crown jewel :) Super 3D enviroment.

The controls aren't listed, but that's ok:) Everyne will instinctively know how to play this game. The only thing that bothers me here, is monotony. The lever lenght is a bit to long for only running and jumping. The enging of the game is great, but the game would be little better if the author would ad something more in it (->enemies).

The music is charming, it fits easy into a loop.

The most amazing thing to me is... how such a good game fit into such a small size? The author must be a genius of javascript :)

All in all, great one, hope to see another :D

Newsdee responds:

Thanks for the review! Yes, the point was to use code for everything. Also I agree that the level is long. I'm thinking of making multiple levels, starting from very simple ones to longer ones... that way it keeps the player interested. Enemies may be tricky given the engine (it would make the game even harder!), but are an interesting idea to explore.

Good one, but a bit annoying

I enjoy Mario, so I'm pleased with this game. Your invention is good - I don't think anyone have ever bumped into an idea of controling a flying bullet before ^^.
Graphics are cool, you used the sprites well, but alas.. sprites are sprites, not your original creations. For the non problem animation, and textures as well as sense of beauty you get a B- from me :)
The sound is v. good. Classical Mario with your own remix. Nice to my ears I must say ^_^.
The big minus in his game is monotony. You just flyyy and flyy. I've reached level 2 and I felt really bored out of this. Not only that, but the level of the game is a little to high. I've tired flying through 2nd & 3rd lvl at least 5 times and I still can't predict where will the ground appear. It could be good, if it wasn't for instant death and the really long distances I already have gotten through. You should develop a "level difficulty option"

Summary:
+good music
+great idea for a parody
+Mario ^^
- monotony
- to difficult, it's really annoying how you start over after being almost "there"
