Ironosaur's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy heli 1.0]

Goodness.

Not only were the controls questionably hard, but the music was unnecessarily large and uncompressed. For a crappy little game that made little sense and lacked fully working controls, 9.7mb is just too much. The sheer size of this flash ruined it, for very badly compressed music.

The graphics were half-assed, to say the least.
This was just an awful flash.

[DUCK SIM 2008]

Appaling genious conveyed in flash.

This flash is simply a majestic flash. The mechanics were beautifully designed, interlaced nearly perfectly with the astoundingly well-drawn compositions in the background, which is almost nothing compared to the wonders which have captured the creative interest of the foreground.

As simplistic as it was, the art was simply beautiful. A swirling mass of my own past experiences bubbles in that murky blue-gray pond which the beautifully-drawn duck rests.

The music brought a calming touch to the swirls of emotion which overwhelmed this flash.

This flash brought tears to my eyes. I would give it 10/10, but I'm only giving it a 9/10 because the emotional power that this flash put upon me is too much for my physical manifestation to handle.

Wonderful job.

Bravo.

[Extreme Line Avoider]

Some nostalgia is good...

However, a lot of it isn't. This flash was utterly horrible. It was disgusting, and how you begged people to not complain about that is just disappointing. First off, just because you have a bad flash from your "Old Flash 8 Days" (like how I remember my old Flash 4 days), doesn't mean you should expect people to give it a godly score. It's totally not what the flash deserves.

What flashes like this deserve are a proper rating, and user experience should not be accounted for. Only effort and outcome.

What this game lacked in graphics lacked equally in everything else. The graphics looked terrible. They looked like they were overly-rushed, like no time or thought was put into any of it. Granted time, patience, and thought is put into the graphics, even a total beginner can create something better looking that almost everything in this flash.

The audio was incredibly annoying. I had to shut off my speakers before I even bothered going bast the first level. The yelling guy severely subtracted points off from the audio score. The one thing this flash makes me remember is not early flash years, but those awful spam flashes that grace the portal. The sound in this gives this a feel just as bad as those do.

This was an absolutely horrible flashback. It's a disgrace to nostalgia.
Graphics: 1/10 (3/10 even for a noob)
Audio: 1/10, Absolutely horrid.
Game play: 2/10. Like most mouse avoiding games, this was badly constructed and boring. Only a few can manage to not be boring, and those are usuall the most well constructed.

[Fixed AS3 Quiz]

A lot of this was horribly wrong information.

Not only was the presentation rather bad and choppy, but a lot of the questions were incorrect as well. First off, Action Script 3 was NOT introduced with Flash CS3. It was actually introduced in Flash 9 Alpha, a modification for Flash 8. Basically, Flash 9A was Flash 8, but with the ability to do AS3.

The "custom cursor" effect is not an AS3 only effect. Rather, it is compatible with even AS1, and it is actually not a custom cursor at all. It is a hidden cursor with a movie clip drag element attached.

Adobe never dropped any features in Flash CS3. Only certain functions of script placement were changed to allow better and more efficient use of AS3.

The end questions were completely stupid and unrelated to the quiz.

Looks like you need to work on your flash knowledge as well, mah boi.

The presentation was horrible. The color scheme was not pretty, and the graphics were poorly designed, the facts were barely even researched, the music was annoying..

This was simply an awful flash.
To make it better, you need to take into consideration using a more aesthetic design, an easier to read and more contrasting font, more vibrant colors, a decent background, more decent animation and all that.

I didn't get a perfect score because some of the questions has practically made-up answers.

It was okay, it lacked humor, but overall, a vaguely valiant effort. 1/5, 3/10.

Improve the effort spent on stuff like this. Do good research and expand the questions. Add animation, cut scenes, little graphics between questions, take out the white noise from the sound track, add a background (animated) which takes up the entirety of the stage, add contrast, and you, my friend, would have a rather decent flash.

Sadly, this isn't.

Wow, What A Dumbass... Okay - First of all AS3 was officially and truly(FULL VERSION OF AS3) released with CS3! The Custom Cursor Effect WAS WROTE WITH AS3 ON MY FLASH!!!!!!!! DUH! ADOBE DROPPED THE FEATURE WITH AS3 OF WRITING CODE IN BUTTONS!!!! DUMBASS!

The Very pissed, annoyed,

[The Nerd Test V3.2]

This was still terrible.

This is still the same crappy nerd test that was put out before, with the same unfixed glitches, and the annoying particle effects.

The horrendous grammar went UNFIXED from the last version.

Hell, everything was exactly the same as it was before, but this time you salpped on music equally annoying as the game's mechanics itself.

The questions all remained basic paraphrases of "you are a nerd"

There was basically nothing to this game except for the fact that music was added this time.

Please, kris, PLEASE make the mechanics better. Make the graphics less plain. Make the grammar good.

Add better music.

Please.

[The Nerd test v2.34221]

I disliked it lots.

First off, you kept on using that annoying particle effect thing, secondly, there was no sound. Thirdly, This was pointless.

As for the questions themselves, thiey were both horribly misspelled, the grammar was horribly done, and the questions were all saying "are you a nerd?"
There were no non-nerdy questions. Every single question is a "cookie cutter" stereotypical characteristic of a nerd.

I think that this entire quiz was horribly rushed. There is signifigant evidence than no more than 5 or 10 minutes was put into this flash. Hell, I probably even wated more effort writing this review than you spent on that entire flash movie.

The questions were humorless, the graphics were certifiably horribly done, the template followed many of your other flash movies.

Also, it says that the buttons originally didn't work. That's because you probably didn't spend enough effort debugging or actually finding or using a working code.

PLEASE, by all means, SPEND MORE THAN 5 OR 10 MINUTES ON A FLASH! Quality flash movies get quality reviews and scores. As far as I'm concerned, I'm surprised this even made it in the portal.

Bad job, little effort.

1/10, 1/5.
