congrats on the first flash but...

the art was quite good( whether or not you did them yourself) but overall it was untidy and the music made me want to drive a ice pick through my skull until i hit the mute button. next time try to make a flash with "something"

Congrats on making your first dressing up game

but its missing a little something

I don't mean to be rude...

...but the best advice I can give a beginner Flash maker is don't make dress up Flashes.

Good start; keep working

Hey.

Seeing as this is your first Flash, it looks like you got the basics of handling the mouse down alright. You will mostly want to make the game more accessible and user friendly, so here are some tips.

- Since all the components are designed go to specific areas, make it so the user can just click on the item (hairstyle, etc.), and it will automatically affix itself to where it needs to be. This pretty much eliminates the need to drag and drop, as more dress-up games are going that route, and it's not dependent on the user to line things up accurately.

- That being said, you may want to organize all your components into menu, and have the user select the item(s) from each menu with which they want to equip the character. For example, you'd have a menu for eyes, hairstyles, eyebrows, tops, and all the other groups. You won't be able to show everything at once, but you don't have to; it won't be necessary.

- There is a lot of unused whitespace along the top, left, and bottom sides of the Flash, which appears to be centered vertically, but aligned to the right edge. You could use that extra room for menus and UI.

- Consider giving an option for the character's skin color to be changed.

- The music sounds appropriate, however, add the ability for the player to mute and un-mute the music. You can probably add one or two more songs, as long as your SWF file size doesn't get out of control.

- You can even add the ability to change the background image, if you're feeling up to it. Not a direct change to the character, but having different backgrounds can work wonders for the over look and feel.

Keep practicing your Flash skills, and hopefully, you are using ActionScript 3.0. If not, I highly recommend making the jump to some point; it's a heck of a lot better than 2.0, and light years ahead of 1.0. (:

Good skill / luck, soldier.

Not bad

The game is not entirely bad, however I do have some pointers. After the song cycles through and plays once it takes a bit of time to start looping again. Personally I would shorten the loop gap so the music is more consistent. Looking at the actual flash the graphics are pretty well done, but the proportions are a tad off. The hairstyles don't exactly fit the head and the eyes are not at the same angle as the face. The actual size of the flash is, for some reason, not being entirely displayed. In the web browser, your flash seems pushed to the right and in widescreen. This issue makes it difficult to see the entire content of your game. Besides those few issues I'd say you did a good job on the game. Keep up the good work.
