"I look forward to your next submission"

submission: World Beyond

date: June 6, 2009

For a first attempt at a Flash game this isn't that bad. It's obvious that a lot of effort has been put into this.
Needless to say, though, it requires more. As the game stands I can't justify giving it a high score because it's far too short.
However, it does have it's good points. The thing I really (I mean REALLY) liked about this was the graphic style and the detail put into the surroundings. Seriously, man, I see very few flash games with such detailed scenery. If I could mark it on graphics alone, it would get full marks. I would like to see the same graphics quality in your next game.
This game is definitely on the right tracks. All it needs (I say all...) is length, a deep plot, more rooms/dungeons, innovative challenges and perhaps a few secrets.
Personally I don't think think this game needs character voices, some of the best games are text only. I think text-based speech would work best for something like this.
You certainly have potential and this game has sown the seed for something truly epic.
To quote Extreme Bop It 2, "do it the same, but better".

Score: 7

"Not innovative, but addictive nonetheless"

submission: Space Beats

It's bascially another rip off of DDR/StepMania/FlashFlashRevolution.
However, I find myself wanting to play more, which is what makes a good bemani game; for that reason it gets a good score.
The game isn't entirely original but it is challenging and has various difficulty levels, giving it plenty of replay value.
The music is good and it's a shame there isn't more of it.

Score: 10

"This is fucking amazing"

submission: You Look Like Shit

date: June 8, 2009

At first I'm like "oh great another guy trying to jump on the Deathcore bandwagon" and then I'm like "whoa what's this I'm hearing? I totally wasn't expecting that!"
I absolutely love the way this song is brutal one minute and then soft the next. There's an abrupt contrast in style, remniscient of Between The Buried Me, that is surprising yet doesn't disturb the flow of the piece.
I also like the fact that this song doesn't take itself too seriously, particularly towards the end.
I'm hearing Annotations Of An Autopsy and Whitechapel mixed with Devin Townsend and some weird funky electronica shit. It's a beautiful combination.
I hope you earn lots of money from your work because you obviously deserve it.
This gets full marks.

Score: 10

"MOAR"

submission: My Own Blood On My Own Fists

date: May 24, 2009

I'm hearing a bit of Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares in this. Anything that reminds me of AFX wins in my books. I particularly like the industrial percussion and the breakbeat formed with it. I also enjoy the fact that the song is written in such a way that it can loop seamlessly (the song had played through 4 times whilst writing this and I didn't even know the song had finished) and still sound fresh with each appearance.
Excellent song indeed, perfect for a backing track of a game.
