The way you ran that button game was just plain evil >)

Reviews for "The Timewaster"

Muhahahahahaha!
Thanks
Completely Awesome...Need more!
I can't believe I didn't write a review for this sooner! I've had this game in my top 5 since you submitted it last year, because I keep coming back to it! Everything you did, especially your unique style (thanks to everything being hand-drawn), makes this game a winner:
Gameplay - The gameplay is ridiculously simple, but hey...it's supposed to be. The game does exactly what it is supposed to do, which is waste your time. Nothing too engrossing, nothing too elaborate, but enough to get your attention and placate you for about 30 minutes to an hour.
Graphics - The graphics are top-notch, to say the least. This flash pretty much proves that anyone that wants to seriously be involved with flash needs a tablet.
Animations - Your animations are EXTREMELY smooth and pleasing to the eye. A good example is the "Test Completed" sign that comes up after winning a test. It's not that the animations themselves are anything extremely spectacular, but they are definitely up to par for a top-notch flash.
Sound - I definitely like your choice of music, and even after looping the music for 10 minutes, it doesn't really get too old. After an hour, I'd probably kill myself, but then again, if you have that much time to waste, you should not be playing this game to span the entire period of it...
Humor - Your humor wasn't the world's greatest, but you certainly have your moments. Suffice it to say that after spending all the time it takes to get to the final test, I wasn't disappointed and got a good chuckle.
As you can see, overall, the game is a slam-dunk. In fact, there is only one thing bad about this game:
Replayability - Let's face it...the game isn't replayable unless you go away and forget it for at least 2 months. Even then, it's pushing it. However, I do find myself coming back to the game again and again, so while replayability in the short-run is nonexistent, it'll stick around as a good one-timer play when you need something to waste your time.
So, after playing this game 3-4 times since you submitted it, I am still extremely pleased, but still wanting more. That being said, let's get a sequel going, huh?? :-)
Thanks again for the great submission, as your timewaster will always be there for the slackers out there. :-)

A review like that is always a pleasure to read, especially when it comes from a hardcore newgrounder like you. All I can say is thank you for the kind words. I am actually working on a sequel, but it will probably not be finished soon. I have ideas that cannot express yet, due to my not so great actionscripting abilities. But I'm working on it. "The Timewaster Ultra" will appear on newgrounds one day! Thanks for your time again.
Great Job!
I had a lot of fun with this one. Perfect difficulty for a short flash. I rated the sound at 0 because it had no relevance to the game(I turned it off and was listening to my tv) but you can see I didn't include it in the overall rating. I rated this one a solid 5.
RatherRandomReality responds:
Thanks dude. That was constructive and I always appreciate that.
Very original.
I like it alot. Very addicting and quite tricky at times.
RatherRandomReality responds:
Glad to hear that, as that's its purpose - to be tricky. Thank you.
You have some nice submitions too.
wow
lol nice game. I played the ultra version of this berofe. It was awesome but so is this. I still didnt finish this one though. But i am confident that i will. If i dont get the peanut butter on my feet first though. O_O keep on buttonmaking.
RatherRandomReality responds:
Thanks man, I may work on a third one but I want to twist the concept a little bit, I have a couple of ideas in my head.
