I thought you had already submitted that, but anyway what Corky say is pretty accurate. The fighting scenes are great and I think it will get a high score, and it's likely to get an award ;)

Rubik's cube

That was nice! The animation and graphics were very good, I found it interesting, but I think it would be better if it was longer. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just short. The audio was good too, I liked the music.

The only thing that was wrong is his expression/face when he stands up and goes to the cube, try to fix that ;) Also, in case you didn't know, the "credits" button doesn't work.

Cheers!

Thanks, it took me a while to find some suiting music.

Ironic you say it's short (which it is) because that is the longest thing I have made that I finished. But yeah, the reason it's so short is because I get bored really quickly.

The credits button is just un-complete, I'm just gonna have it be a roll-over thing and my name and the guy who made the music's name is gonna pop u, so that should only take a minute.

Also would you say this is a better expression?

There's no problem with it being short, it's OK. Yeah, making long things can be boring sometimes, I understand what you say :)

Now it's better, and I'd say it's ready to be submitted :D

Also, something else I like are those details. Like the note, which apparently at the end just says "happy birthday", and there is something more but it's too small to read it, but you can do it if you zoom in.

:D

Do you think I could at least scrape a blue score or is that asking for too much?

Well, here it is. What could possibly be, the final version of the Interactive Kitten.
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/3808/657 23_Interactive_Kitten.php

So two questions:
1) Is there absolutely anything more that I could add and not go over the top with it?
2) What score would it get?

It's possible, I don't know. I suppose most people will enjoy it and vote high, probably it will achieve a green (great) score at least.

I can't think of something more to add, since every part of the cat is interactive. Maybe if you still feel like adding something you could make more backgrounds, but it's not necessary.

It's good to see you worked on the preloader, it looks great :D

And about the score... I think it could get something between three and four :) There's no way to know, though.

Cheers :D

Great! Currently it's score is 3.43, which is a green score I think. Well done :D

Also, I lol'd when I read bunnyonfire's review "...i could have done that in 10 minutes my gawd"
Just don't pay attention to those people ;)

Keep up the good work!

Hey great job on the flash. Sorry I couldn't help out before hand, but it's a very good flash. I will give it a real review if you promise to give it an author response.

Oh and I did vote 5 because I liked it.

Well just throwing out some ideas even if they aren't that good. Perhaps something with the whiskers on the cat? Like have him bat at them or something like that. I don't know though. Perhaps something like a Easter Egg somewhere where a mouse comes out and he chases it or does something with it. It seems pretty complete though.

Another idea. Perhaps make it a collection of a bunch of different pets. You already have the cat done, but you could add a fish, dog, turtle, etc.. I think that would greatly increase the score if you did that.

2) What score would it get?

Hmm, anywhere around a 3.00 probably. Give or take anywhere around .5 or so.

Yes, this is active, but not too many people come here, maybe because they just don't know that this place exists.

If you want to join to help, give constructive and helpful reviews, you can do it :) Wait until someone come here asking for us to review his unfinished or not-submitted-yet work and review it :D

Good we could always use a member here, but as you can see it's not really that active whatsoever. And it's a great idea for a club so I don't see why it's not that active. The only thing that I can think of is because people don't know of the club. The same reason why I think a couple other clubs that I wish took off never really did.

So I think for your first mini job of the club is to go around the flash portal and perhaps look for those threads that are like, "Check out my game" or stuff like that where they are looking for tips on how to improve their game/movie and then you could help them out right their in the thread, but at the end of the post mention something about this club and link it so a couple of people see it.

Just don't link this thread without helping though.

If I think about it because honestly I don't remember this thread all of the time. I really think it's a good idea and wished more people new about it, but the only way to do that is to get people to see it some way. Perhaps I can think of a rules and things and post them up. Perhaps keeping it on the front page for just a little bit longer and perhaps getting someone to see it.

Actually, post it here and the Review Request Club will be sure to review it. It may also be a club that you are willing to join. We get request for reviews and we review them. It's a fun club in my opinion and makes reviewing kind of fun.

Also, when linking if you want it too be the new cool link feature just copy and paste the link normal like the picture below explains. It will end up looking like this, which in my opinion looks better.

Of course that's completely up to you.

Even thought only the Tutorial mode was available, the concept was very nice, if only lacking a few touches.
Here are some tips to make your game even better:
-Turn the main character, and the bats at the menu to movie clips. and animate their wings.
This will make it seem more realistic and less like just drawings moving around.

-The bat in target practice moves around the whole screen, but then you click on the target symbol to shoot, it only moves around in one place.

-And also in target practice, you don't have to actually shoot the bat to pass, just clicking anywhere will suffice.

Fix these thing and im sure you game will turn out fine

make sure to post it again when you make the Play option.

I promise that I will get to this as soon as I'm back to college. Well maybe not as soon as I'm back, but whenever I find time. See I have dial up here at home and at college I of course have wireless. So I can't load flashes here at home.

Not only will I review this, but I will try to remake the clubs guidelines and rules and try to recruit some reviewers. When that's done I will then try to recruit some people who needs their flashes pre-reviewed. I think this club can slowly get popular.

Yeah, well like I said it doesn't really matter which way you link it. That's completely up to you, but some people don't know about the new feature where all you have to do is copy and paste the link. Well maybe not so new anymore, but every now and then in the Wi/Ht forum people are asking how to do it.

I recommend probably making the walking animation just a little bit better. It's not bad, but he seems to be a little off. Other than that your drawings and everything were alright. Nothing too bad at all. Is their a control to actually attack something? If so I didn't find it, but if there is just tell me and I will go back and try it again.

I honestly do not know how to fix this. I'm just a reviewer. :P I know nothing of actionscript or anything. (One of the reasons why I wish this club had a couple other people in it to help out)

Well other than me not being able to help you with the screen turning gray and everything it's not that bad for a beginning. I recommend asking for help in the Flash Forums and when you figure it out and advance your flash more please come back.

no, when you find an enemy you will enter a turn based battle mode.
ill work on every thing a bit, and post again.

OK, here are some things you should work on:
-When you're flying in the gray box, it's possible to get out of it if you go to a corner, or if you hold space it's also possible to go through the walls.
-If you hold space and press the right arrow key, you go at normal speed.

That's it for now :)

You could just change the character's position using ActionScript. If your character's instance name is "character" (just to provide an easy example), you can do this:

In AS2:
character._x = Put here the x (horizontal) position where you want you character to be.
character._y = Put here the y (vertical) position where you want your character to be.

In AS3:
character.x = Put here the x (horizontal) position where you want you character to be.
character.y = Put here the y (vertical) position where you want your character to be.

i hope you understand my lazy explanation, if not, ill post again but clearer.
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/150109/4 3714_Defence.php

The game so far looks pretty good. As Corky said you could work on your walking animation, like making it a bit smoother.
If you go to the left, or above the fountain (or it looked like a fountain to me) you can walk through it.
You could change the "Objective: Move around and kill stuff." Like having a bit more detailed instructions, and maybe a background story. This adds realism to your game and makes it more interesting.

There's isn't much to review actually, the graphics are good, and be sure to get some good music :)
