[Parachute Retro (Game)]

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge submissions by the standards of today despite the experience with flash the author had at the time nor when the author submitted it.

Graphics: 6 - The graphics were simply done but they were acceptable enough. Except for the stick figures..

Style: 10 - THe game was fun and a little bit challenging, especailly with the final boss.

Sound: 10 - Sound effects and background music. I think it could of used with some tortured screams of the dying stick figures.

Violence: 6 - Screw up, you see your lil' stick figure buddies die (does not effect overall rating).

Interactivity: 10 - Got to pay attention to everything and be sure when to drop the stick figures.

Humor: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Overall: 9 - I average all the individual ratings together and round up the result to give the author the overall. I do this to be more fair than I possibly would be otherwise.

Note: I beat it! Woo hoo!

[Braden's Kitchen (Game)]

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge submissions by today's standard's despite the date the flash was submitted nor the author's talents with flash at the time.

Graphics: 6 - Background, enemies, hand, hot dog.. got everything there but they could have used a little more effort.

Style: 10 - The goal of the game was set. Kill the flies. Easy? Gets difficult after awhile. You have to keep attention and have fast enough reflexes so your hot dog doesn't get covered in flies. Perhaps you could have also changed food every few levels?

Sound: 7 - Sound effects and background music. However, I deducted points considering the confusion of how a love song fits into killing bugs.

Violence: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Interactivity: 10 - Got to pay attention and swat the flies before they get to your hot dog.

Humor: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Overall: 9 - I average the individual ratings and round up the result to give the overall rating so that the author would have a fair score from me where it would possibly not be otherwise.

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge submissions by today's standards despite the author's talent when making it nor the date it was submited.

Graphics: 10 - The graphics were pretty good. Background and stuff. But the last guy was right, you use a bit too much shadow.

Style: 7 - The concept of the game was still a little off I guess. Easy but the controls still were sketchy.

Sound: 10 - Sound effects and music were provided.

Violence: 0 - Does not apply to this submission

Interactivity: 6 - Have to pay constant attention. However, the controls lacked.

Humor: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Overall: 8 - I average the scores that would count for the submission together and round up to give the artist rating that is possibly more fair than if I had done otherwise.

Note: Check out the new version! It kicks ass!

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I rate submissions by the standards of today despite the talent the artist had at the time of making the flash nor the date it was submitted.

Graphics: 6 - The graphics were a little poor (coloring effects, etc.) and a game can always use background.

Style: 5 - The concept of the game wasn't all that great and rather boring. To add upon that, the controls were rather sketchy.

Sound: 0 - No sound was provided and that is a must in any flash project.

Violence: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Interactivity: 6 - You have to keep constant attention. However, the controls are quite sketchy.

Humor: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Overall: 5 - This is the average of all the scores that would count for the submission with the result rounded up. I use this to give the artist a rating that would be more fair than it possibly would be otherwise.

Note: Though this game may not be good, you should check out the latest version, Ball Revamped: Metaphysik. It kicks ass!

Violence: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge submissions by the standards of today despite the author's experience with flash at the time of designing the flash nor the date it was created.

Graphics: 10 - Of course the graphics were great. They were the work of Salvador Dali's. But to add upon that, the author did an excellent job at joining both Salvador's and his own additions together to create this "playground".

Style: 10 - It was set up wonderfully. It had perfect background music to create a creepy set up and it made the person viewing the flash have to think on how to get everything to work.

Sound: 10 - Perfect. Creates a more morbid setting than it would have been without the background music.

Violence: 10 - Does not apply to this submission.

Interactivity: 10 - The person viewing the submission has to think of how to go to the next point and has to figure out where the "hot point" is. It also show the people here who are usually sitting around watching that damn box of stupidity all day (no offense) some actual art work instead of some random images displayed on a screen.

Humor: 0 - Does not apply for this submission.

Overall: 10 - I average the scores of the submission that would count together and round up to get the overall to give the author a fair overall score.

Note: This is awesome! A must see! Though some may not consider it a game, it is not quite a movie either. Either way it is an awesome display of Dali's work combined with a few tricks of Mikhail Kafanov. I would recommend this to anybody.

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge submissions by the standards of today despite the date it was submitted nor the author's talents with flash at the time.

Graphics: 6 - The graphics were acceptable except it lacked background.

Style: 1 - Not really that good of a game.. not really a game...

Sound: 3 - A little bit of sound.. just a little.

Violence: 0 - Does not apply to this submission.

Interactivity: 1 - I do count this in this submission. It was labled as a game, which it is not. All you do is click some text and then hover your mouse over a bull.

Humor: 0 - Not funny at all...

Overall: 3 - I average the scores together that would count for this submission to give the author a fair enough score.

[Powerfox V.3]

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge submissions by today's standards despite the designer's skills nor the date he/she created the submission.

Graphics: 8 - The graphics could have used a tad bit of work but they were pretty good.

Style: 10 - Excellent set up. Three different difficulty settings, weapons, helicopters, and challenging opponents.

Sound: 10 - Good sound effects and had dialogue. Could have used more with the president though.

Violence: 5 - Yeah, it's a fighting game...

Interactivity: 10 - Controls works smoothly and the game was fun to play.

Humor: 0 - Does not quite apply to this submission

Overall: 10 - I average the scores together to give a fair score to the author. Without this system I may give bad scores when people deserve better. I only average those that would count for the submission being judged.

Note: Excellent game! A must play!

[Quest - Level 1]

Shadow Flare's Review

Note: I judge portal entries by the standards of today despite the date it was submitted nor the author's experience with flash at the time of making the entry.

Graphics (7) - Graphics were alright but still could have used work.

Style (10) - Fun game. Have to use your mind. Must know what you are doing.

Sound (7) - Background music and sound effects.

Violence (0) - None

Interactivity (10) - Make decisions and know what you are suppose to do. Not really a "lazy" game where you just have to hit controls really fast or shoot people, you actually have to use your mind.. I know that is difficult for some of you...

Humor (0) - None

Overall (9) - I average the scores that would cound for this portal entry (Graphics, Style, Sound, Interactivity) and round up the result to give the author a fair enough overall score.

Notes:

1) Click on the alien when he firsts appear.
2) Number pad for the door is randomized.
3) Figure out the rest for yourself.
