Reviews for "Meteorite smash"

Review.

Pros:
I honestly don't have much to say here, unfortunately for you. The sound effects are for the most part pretty good, excluding one that I dislike, but I'll get to that in my cons. The space ship you play looks very well, I don't know if it's a sprite you found on the web or if it comes in GF2, but it looks good. The meteors and exploding effect looks good as well.

Cons/Recommendations:
I really don't like the sound of shooting. It sounds like somebodies knocking on a door or something, which is really far from what I imagine a space ship to sound like when it shoots. I recommend you make it sound more realistic, like a gun, or change everything, including what the shooting looks like, and make it into a zapping sound, which is what I'd imagine a space ship would shoot.

I really don't like how the background is a brick wall. That's very unrealistic as this is based in space, it should be a space background. If you'd like, you can PM me and I can link you to a tutorial on how to easily make a space background.

I didn't like the effect you got when the ship exploded. Sure it looks cool, but it always leaves behind some of the animation, the meteorites do the same thing, and it's silver, why doesn't it look like a normal explosion?

This is a very big con and makes the game very unfun. As mentioned in the review below, if you just go in the center and shoot, they Meteorite's never go anywhere. They never even come close to hitting you. That really takes the fun out of the game.

Another big thing is that the score seems to be messed up. It appears to just be quickly going from 0-100 and restarting. That's a major thing as I would think the main point of this game is to try to get high scores as there are no levels.

CAN-OF-SPAM responds:

Lol thats not the score. its the counter i used for spawning the asteroids, in the next 2 flashes i made i fixed majority of this crap. thanks for the review.

Bad needs work

If you stay near the center of the screen and keep pressing space no astroid will make it through. You should have them appear in different spots as well and not respawn in the same spot.

CAN-OF-SPAM responds:

I was gonna have 3 spawn points origionally but I thoguht I would mess it up so I thought I would just wait and see.

A few bugs

It's good and I am happy to see you are getting experience with this program, I have yet to make anything of my own besides the tutorial.

Some things I would like to point out to you.
The score on the bottom right hand side is messed up and just shows a bunch of numbers changing, that can be fixed and if you re-read the tutorial in the program on the score you should be able to fix that easily.
Also, you should make it so your spaceship can only move so far to the right, and can't move out of the screen on the left, again that is shown in the tutorial, just a few minor issues that can be easily fixed with a bit more of your time put in to it.

Wasn't bad, but it would be better with that and sound, keep it up buddy.

CAN-OF-SPAM responds:

that's not a score board lol. I used counter and set it to random 100 on always and put 5 as a value for the random meteors :)

Weak Effort

No sounds, no score, no refresh on certain actions... and bricks in outer space? Last time I went to the Chandra website, I did not see one image of a "brick wall galaxy." Shooter games like this have been around since the days of the Atari VCS, and even some of those old 2-bit games were better than this. This game needs work on pretty much everything to make it even an average space shooter. I'd suggest starting with some variety of objects hurtling towards the spaceship. And maybe a background of the Crab Nebula so it looks like the ship is flying through space and not an alley in downtown New York.

CAN-OF-SPAM responds:

this is my first flash so yes there are some fuck ups. I'm still new to the program and still figuring shit out. I'm gonna add a new background this week.

HUH??

there is absolutely no point to this game. you have no score system and your ship can go indefinitely off the screen.

CAN-OF-SPAM responds:

I was going to add the score system when I got the sound to work. Don't worry, it's gonna get better.
