hmmmm
Don't put the song in every frame.
just make one frame over the whole game so we don't end it up with several songs playing at the same time.
Reviews for "The Amazing Maze"
My review.
The music loops awfull! It's way too easy to cheat and the maze on its own is easy. Also the backgrounds could use some more time
Ahgh, my ears!
Wow, first off, PLEASE fix it so that when the game is restarted, the music doesn't overlap itself! A huge, huge problem in my eyes (or ears, as the case may be). You might want to indicate somewhere, maybe in the description, maybe in the game itself, that's it's a mouse avoider-type maze; at the very beginning, it wasn't clear what to do and I was pressing keys on the keyboard trying to get the button thing to move, until I moved my mouse into a wall and died. Also, level 4 was damn near impossible; think about your players that use laptops with the touchpad or trackballs. This game would be impossible for them to play, as they simply lack the pinpoint accuracy needed to pass certain levels. Why is it that clicking the green button on the first level causes the player to die? Why is that button even there?
On maybe level 6 or so (2 levels after the checkpoint), clicking a yellow button brings up the message "stick to the rules dumbass" and doesn't allow the player to go anywhere, so the game must be closed and reopened. Also, checkpoint 2 didn't work, as it just sent me back to checkpoint 1 and I had to redo those levels.
This game needs a lot of work. And why Mario music? It doesn't fit in with this game at all.
An average attempt.
First and foremost, the right click trick hasn't been prevented, allowing cheating by anyone who wants to get to the end without putting in the effort.
The music was a nice touch over most of the other maze games out there... but when a new loop starts at the beginning of each level and the old one doesn't stop, leaving you with a cocophany of 'music' all overlaying each other... sorry, not good.
"Follow the rules, dumbass"; Ok, what are they? the ONLY reason I knew not to push the button that leads to this screen is by pushing it to find out what it did.
Finally, your attitude; "If this passes it may be the first of many, if not then I will just not bother as it takes too much time..." I'm afraid this is the way to get people not to bother playing or voting as this sort of self deprecating attitude brings a lot of people down. If it gets through then, yes, by all means make more. If it doesn't get through then don't give up for crying out loud, learn a lesson, practice more and submit something better. You think we ended up with the better games of newgrounds by every creator quitting when something got blammed? No, they took in what people were saying about it and gave them what they want.
One more point that I just can't let drop... grammar and spelling, please. Capitals at the beginning of a sentence, full stops at the end, when you're using the word 'to' in an 'as well' sense it's 'too' with an extra 'o' and when you're referring to yourself it's 'I', not 'i'. Oh yeah, 'its' is when something owns something, 'it's' is short for 'it has'. I'm sorry to have to say this sort of thing but illiteracy is my biggest pet peeve.
Unoriginal but Promising
I will say off the bat that this type of submission has been done to death but there are many that are worse than this one.
The problem with these kinds of flash game is that it has one fatal flaw. All the player has to do is remember where the goal is, alt tab to a full screen window, move the cursor to the memorised location then alt tab back. Instant win.
This has basically killed the sub-genre of mouse movey thingy games but saying that, as this is a fairly early submission its a very good effort.
Keep up the good work and now you got the concepts down try to be a little more inventive on your next one.
