Reviews for The Death Trap

Yes, a zero!

I fail to understand why a Flash movie should ever be so big. Mind you, I have cable and can download it easily, but I've been on 33.6 and 56K modems long enough to understand how useless a flash animation this size can be. I don't understand why it really HAS to be SOOOO big. I don't think a size this big will ever be worth it. The best I've seen come close to maybe 10MB tops. And even that is a bit too high to be good.
That's why your overall score is worth a zero. No single flash animation should be so big. Cut it up into pieces, fine, you can play with other elemens if you do it this way and add even some more content and viewers. But one big file just to show what you are capable of is nuts. I can make 14MB flash movies as well. Just give me some uncompressed music files and a bit of animation, and I'm done. It's going to be a 14MB flash like yours, but it won't be such that you can automatically think that this movie or game was made by a top developer or animator...

What a useless review. Sorry. I warned people of the large file size and i compressed it as much as i can. Sadly, if you want good graphics and sound you are looking at a larger file size. Would you rather a 30kb file thats a repeated animation?? Its not my fault some people are too impatient. If you have 56k then this game is not for you. It didnt deserve a ZERO.

Umm..

Is it just me, or do the buttons not work? Neither Play, nor Instructions, did anything when I clicked them.. I haven't voted on this 'cause it wouldn't be fair, 'cause it might just be my pc. But yeah, check it, 'cause it might not be just my pc.

Remember this is a 14MB file- your connection may have been slow...It wasnt loaded yet. Please dont rate things zero when they did not deserve it. I worked my ass off for this game.

Bit of a Saw ripoff, but still nice

I thought this was a great game, and I enjoy those point and click games. I suggest you work on some of the sound, though... for instance, the crackling of the fireplace just sounded kinda crappy and cheap, like someone was rubbing paper over a mic. All in all, fairly decent.

Awesome!

To start it I had to do the whole "Right-click, Play" thing, but then it was fun. Had great elements on their, and it creeped me out. The voice acting was great, the music (especially when you read the newspaper and diary) was very well chosen. The only problem I had was that the diary reading part passed to quickly, I didn't have enough time to finish it, and I'm usually a fast reader.

Overall a great game. Hope to be seeing more from you soon!

cool

I just think different voice actors should be selected to read the diologue. They seem out of place.

But everything else, top notch
