Reviews for Code Monkey Tycoon

Good, but needs work.

There's a really good base here, but there are plenty of things you can improve upon. The graphics are excellent; I think someone said earlier that it was "pretty," and that's about right. Gameplay was decent, but got a little slow after awhile. If you do a 2.0 (which it seems like you're going to do), here's what I would suggest.

Major things:
-Let us name our games. Please.
-Let us pick our genres. Please.
-The "team" aspect didn't really seem important--I just set one team to develop and one team to research, then when the research was done, I just had everyone develop on one gigantic team.
-Advertising didn't seem to do a lot--maybe I just missed it, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Minor stuff:
-I'd love it if you changed the scrolling so I didn't have to click the down arrow 3000 times to get to the bottom of a list. Maybe let us grab the scrollbar?
-The music got on my nerves. A lot. Just got repetitive--I ended up putting my computer on mute. Either give us a mute option or switch the music up a bit.
-Reviews. I couldn't seem to look at reviews of my older games, then immediately go to newer games. I'd have to leave the menu, then go back into it and click on the game that I wanted.
-By the same token, names. All the names were the same. This would be fixed if you let us name our own games.

Ideas:
-How about a top-score type thing? Maybe have "highest earning games" or something?
-If you did that, put in a "retire" button or something--just so we feel that we've had some sort of ending aside from just x-ing out the window.
-It might be kind of nice to be able to customize our company with a specific name or logo or something--I don't know much about Flash, so I don't know how much space all this would take up, but I'm just kinda thinking out loud.

I think that's all I have right now... if you'd like, PM me with any ideas, I'd be happy to give my input.

Brilliant suggestions, Roko.
We will probably implement most of the features you mentioned. Game naming is one of our major concerns right now.
Advertising does make a big difference in multiplayer and serious games, but we will probably remake this feature.
The "retire" feature is a great feature, it will allow us to feel better when finishing the game (I don't like to end up as a street musician either). I'm sure the graphic artist won't mind implementing this.
Thanks for playing.

Alright Game

I think this is a pretty decent game although after a while, it's just a little easy, I mean my first try, I went bankrupt, so it seemed hard but then I worked out a little trick, since your opening employee doesn't get paid, you can use it to descover new technology for the easy ones. Yeah, anyway, I thought it was good for a while but as it got on, it just didn't have a chellenge anymore.

The graphics are good, I do like them, but I think that in the lab and development area, you should have it starting to fill with people depending on your employees. Also, you could have a team for advertising, which brings me onto my other point. Advertising seemed to only be specific for one game, it would be better if you could have a general advertising setting.

Scrolling was a pain, I didn't enjoy scrolling, if it was smoother then yeah it wouldn't have been noticible, lol. The stats for employees don't seem to change but in reality, the more someone programms, the more experiance they get in that area. Unless it does go up and I didn't notice.

The final thing I can think of suggesting is allowing the user to name their user, name the company and name the games themselfs, it would give more for them to do. You could probably also introduce game awards into it for users to collect for fun.

Yeah, probably too many suggestions, but this game is pretty good as it is, just needs some added things maybe, even cover design just for fun, lol. Definatly needed a mute button, the background tune does get boring after a while. The game wasn't too hard to play once you work it out and it was easy to move around it, so good work overall, I like that idea behind it.

4/5
