Awesome!

Top notch graphics, and a fun little game! Also thanks for using my music, Ashley. You have a bright future in flash, I must say!

Why Hasn't This Gotten Front Page?

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to perform a series of simple operations with your mouse and your wits. The first task requires you to search every area for clues, although most of the time, like in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, most of the little doo-hickeys you can interact with are just there for show. It takes a while to find something that corresponds to what you're trying to do, but given some investigation, the first puzzle is surprisingly easy. The second part is just a masking layer effect (good example of an effective application), while the third part resembles some of the design features of the Newgrounds site (namely, the infectiously addictive mouse-over-to-blam portal .swf that was on display until about a few years ago, when they gave the portal page a make-over).

This is a modest foray into Actionscript by Ashley Voortman. Nothing incredible, but it's a game based on Newgrounds, a straight-up interpretation of what goes on, and nothing nasty. Good. There isn't enough clean humor on this ice cube to fill a star cruiser.

The perspective work is unusual; instead of one fixed angle where you interact with something, let alone view it, there are multiple perspectives, but really this feels more like a mirror image effect than a true perspective. It is a trippy effect, though.

Another big nod goes to the techno-heavy soundtrack. Many of the same musicians featured in "Mission Newgrounds" are still around here somewhere. Techno happens to be prominent in the Audio Portal, so using a soundtrack laced with that stuff adds to the authenticity of this being a Newgrounds-centric game!

There's nothing really wrong with a graphic adventure game, so long as it doesn't take forever to complete. This is a nifty little tribute to a cool site in the net, without grandeur or fanfare, so take it as it is! Also note that although it is a primitive code, it is the first foray into Actionscript that Ashley has made, and the style she has toward the medium is quirky enough to scout her for a project.

impressive

well even if youve made games before i would have said that this is a good game. it meets all the criterea of succesful. since its your first then kudos, there is that reacurring problemo of the brevity, but as i have heard its hard to make these games. hope you get a little better and make some more games. would love to play em :)

Cool game

Nice game, smooth gameplay, cool, if only it was a little harder, or make more levels. You could add more clues to the first stage (i guessed the combination). Try making another version or a 2nd part with more levels, remember, creativity is the key for success, good graphics and drawing skills come with practice.

5/5 9/10
