Pretty good!
I loved the Benny Hill scenes for the blown whistle flashes. This was a very funny game. Great job!
Reviews for "NG Review Game #2"
Little-Rena responds:
Yays, I thought it was too. Driver animated that part.
Thanks for the review :)
you just need to add
Played once. It crashed on the first movie around just as the alien and the dude first meet. Buttons wouldn't do anything. Closed it and did other stuff.
Played again. 90/gold.
Played again, to try and work out if my score could be improved. 85/gold.
Then, whilst writing this, played a few more times to see the other 2 messages.
+++++ Great graphics for the menus/etc. LIke the new take on the NG logo, with the redone bg. Screenshotted images work well.
++++ All the 'good' reviews are fairly well written. And I liked how you had one review in there, that was pretty abusive, though disguised by flowery language.
++++ This time, a couple of the 'submissions' were pretty good! I liked the mudman one - that made me laugh heartily, though character movement left a lot to be desired. Also, the scratchy style of the one with the guy's big nose was quite cool. Memorable and I wonder what he said or did...
++++++ As before - mechanics are a great idea. Good for teaching and a test of working stuff out too.
+++ Balanced difficulty. I liked how the first one was obvious, and after that it needed a bit more consideration.
---- I hated how at the end we had no idea where/if we went wrong. I think 100 is the max. score? I'd have liked to know where I went wrong.
????? At the end instead of having: '90' have '90/100' or whatever.
???? After each submission (whistle or review) from us, why don't you give feedback? Like maybe a bit of text zooming in and saying, 'abusive: 0pts' or 'helpful! 10pts', with maybe a short sfx for the extremeties of the scale. And mention if it should've should not've been whistled.
??? Or maybe at the end, show us a break-down of the ratings, like show us how each of our reviews was, then allow us to go back and check the not-so good ones. That'd be a great option, though the previous suggestion alone would work.
???? Maybe even give explanations in a 'recap' at the end, recapping the ones we got wrong (simple to do for you with flags and conditional gotos) and explaining why the one we didn't pick was unhelpful/abusive/neither and why the better option would have been better. Or why it should've been whistled/not.
-- It annoyed me not being able to rewatch some movies. Specially towards the end, where I couldn't remember if a certain movie even had an intro, I'd have liked a chance to replay the movie.
? If you're gonna do a v3 (and I think it'd rock), you could have the review/movie pop up in their own windows, just as they would on a real screen. The windows would be draggable and closable - just like in 'reality' and during the review phase we'd be able to flick over to the old screen and rewatch.
-- Music seemed dodgy. The sound for each flash starting didn't quite synch with the opening of the window or anything and it seemed kinda glitchy there.
--- No indication of how many are left to go.
???? I kinda liked the previous version that allowed us to check all the ones in the portal, and had your amusing parody names/photoshopped dates. That also let us easily see how many we still had to review. If you did that again, but allowed us to review in any order, it'd totally rock.
+++ Liked the little messages you give.

A massive improvement from the previous version. Truly awesome.
Now, you just need to add more feedback and keep up the great work!
Stay funky,

Little-Rena responds:
Ah, you again, you're review was one of the ones that lead to the improvements, so thankyou for taking the time to review again.
The mudman one was really funny, I'd agree, Queen is good with that sort of stuff, lol.
100 is the max score yes, I missed a percent sign out that I was going to include, for that I am sorry.
Indication on how many are left? Wow, I never thought of that, lol, I'm abit lost without reviews.
As for being able to watch them again, I had an idea to add another frame that was a collab type menu but I don't know why I didn't add it, I think I forgot to be honest.
An recapping where reviews could be changed or a whistle should have been blown, well, that would defeat the point of the game maybe. Though, if it was somthing you could see when you have compleated the game with a high mark then I could understand.
I would love to make it more like the actual newgrounds, but to be honest, my actionscript knowladge isn't too great, so it'll take some time to work out.
Still, thankyou for the detailed review and it's good to see you took the time to give your input.
If I ever make a third, this will definatly be one of the reviews I go back over to see what I need.
Thanks again.
You Deserve A Standing Ovation
You got the real feel for reviewing NG flashes. I enjoyed it quite a lot. All the time that was probably spent on every flash deserves some credit in itself. Wonderful job.
Little-Rena responds:
Thankyou very much, I'm sure all the other authores are happy to hear that :D
Thanks for the positive review.
Very Nice
Well done, Rena. :D I was very impressed with the game. I thought you couldn't have much originality in the sequel, but I was wrong. The best thing I liked about it was how there was a lot more time taken into the reviews and the individual flashes, as well as how there was a piece of actionscript that added up the total amounts of review points. I was very impressed, and it was a good job from everyone!
Little-Rena responds:
Yeah, the actionscript was the longest part to it, unlike the first one I got help with what I needed to get here, so a large group effort P:
Thankyou for the review.
:)
Great job guys.
Im glad to see that this game turned out so good.
You would think that after playing this game i would write a helpful review.
But i just dont see anything that could be improved :D
Little-Rena responds:
Lol, okay, well it's good to know you think nothing could be improved P:
I think that's good enough for me, lol ;D
Yeah, it did turn out pritty good and no AS errors :D
Thanks for the review.
