Almost
This is pretty good for a beginner. With a some more work and additions this could turn out to be very good. It has potential, use it to your advantadge.
Things to fix:
Lagging Mario Game + fireball reload time
Mario game is too short
Pictochat can only draw
Fix FTW
good first attempt
for a first attempt its pretty good, but you have alot of bugs which you should have fixed before submitting, and the mario game was very short just 1 enemy which you cant jump on. but i can see youve put some effort in so ill give you a 4/10. I think you will learn alot from this first game so ill b looking out for some better games from you in the future :)
Oh dear...
Well, a 'Flash DS' isn't the worst idea ever, you just went the wrong way around it. Pictochat was basic, but it could of been worse, you could made it look more like pictochat though, like the keyboard ont he lwoer half of the screen, and add colour selection.
There wasn't much else ont he DS it self apart from a pointless reset button.
Then theirs the Mario game, it seemed alright at first, but you didn't use Actionscript well. Mario jumps way to high, you have gravity on to high or something, the fireballs aren't effected by gravity, then there wasn't even a whole level, after the shy guy it was just a pit of doom. I jumped off and didn't respawn, and also couldn't see the Menu button because it went along with the level.
So, you have so good talent kid, you just need to practice more and you'll get much better at this, don't worry.
-Peace.
Rather Good First Flash
I tend to agree with most of the other reviewers that you have some flash talent. You have a great idea and I recommend that you look at the iPod emulator flashes that have similar concepts to yours for advice.
Your primary strength is your creativity, however, your games need some work. The biggest problem with the game is the Mario physics (or lack their of). Everyone knows Mario so well that just a small deviation from normal physics can throw off players. I personally was shocked to see Mario keep rising, and rising for seconds after he should have been impacted by gravity.
Overall I see lots of potential and I wish you the best in your next version.
Eh?
Well, it was almost not suckish, but not quite. Needs some improvement. Mario music would be nice, so would a more better picto chat. Ya, just work on those two things, then re-submit it.
