cool game
well the game was fun but the controls was anoying beacuse it's hard to move and that. and it's a bit laggy when you come to the first boss.
Reviews for "Andagel"
Looks good but
The controls were very award, work on making the gaming experience more interactive. It was hard to even get to shoot effectively...
Didnt know you could do this with flash
I have no idea how long it took and don't want to imagine the headaches that went into this game.The graphics are right up there with alot of big multiplayer online games.
The only things I didn't care for were that you're looking over the side of your character, which made aiming awkward, that you don't have a real crosshair, and that during the intro, as Hiko(?) you have to uselessly play out the escape attempt.I figured she was going to die but I couldn't even go the noble way and jump off the building.
But please don't take this badly.This is a major thing to be done on flash, and I'm sure that in time you'll be putting out games that sell to major companies.So keep at it, and do your best!
woot!
this is the best flash game iv ever played, well maby no the best, but WOW that was cool. why arnt more people doing cool things like this? i mean this game is epic! i had no idea u could make a flash game 3D, well at least not a good one, like this.

There's a pipecleaner behind you!
...and you can't possibly kill it!
"Quite possibly one of the" worst "games to hit Newgrounds to date!"
I tried to give this game a chance. But it's simply not fun to click a million times, knowing that your weapon takes as many as 20 shots to kill a single enemy, regardless of your skill and aim. The storyline is also contrived and forced -- insinuation is a great tool, and removes the need to explicitly detail an evil corporation's master plan to "quell our... competition, shall we say...". *Cue evil laughter and thunder* Even in a short game like this, realize that it's unnecessary to beat the gamer over the head with the obvious. Your introduction does just that. Dialogue is seemingly the most difficult part of the creation of any game, seeing as it's always written poorly and bluntly.
Andangel is a stylized cyberpunk first-person-shooter that falls flat. Not because it's created in Flash, but because of its poor execution and design choices, coupled with high production values. Unfortunately, those highs and lows do not offset each other, but only serve to accentuate the feeling that somehow, the ball was dropped and this game sucks despite a strong effort otherwise.

your review feels like it was a 'real' review of my game. The last paragraph was like something i'd read in Edge magazine - youre a great writer:)
Good point about the subtlety. I actually just went out today and bought 'the art of game deign' by Jesse Schell and 'game feel' by Steve Swink. Both look really current and are brand new, and i think they'll help me answer some of the criticisms ive received for andagel in the next game.
Ill admit that id like to have more time to work on games so that i could give them the polish thats in my head, and i think the only way to do this is if i improve my skills and efficiency. There ISNT more time available so id better get REALLY good at doing what i do because in the end, i just love making games so i dont think im going to stop anytime soon:) I can honestly say i appreciate all the support and criticisms im receiving here because 1)its really valuable advice and information (for free no less:) ) and 2)it all becomes part of my experience and will help me next time.
Thanks for taking the time to write don't your thoughts - it was a really tight review and a good read. (actually, maybe ill run the script for the next one by you;) )
