[Zombie shooter v2.1]

Good update

It needs to get a bit more frantic as time goes on - you're only ever facing one or two at a time

Good work though

[Ferret Invaders]

Safe clart!

Great joerb!

Youknowsit!

[FlashTrek: Romulan Wars]

very very impressive

The text is hard to read though... Thank God for Opera's zoom function!

[Zombie shooter 2.0]

Not bad...

... but could do with being more developed.

I guess for what it is it's fine, but because the engine works so cleanly, I'd be tempted to expand it, maybe have a traditional "Operation Wolf" style side scroll...

[Inverse Shoot'em up]

Congratulations Weebl!

You've managed to make this game rock harded than the Ramones in an earthquake!

[Frame by Frame Tutorial]

Not much depth here

It would have been nice to go into a lot more detail about animation techniques; this seemed kind of rushed

Maybe do a version 2 and go into the onion skinning et cetera?

McSqueeb responds:

Well it is my first flash. I was just wanting to get the basics of good (not awesome )frame by frame. I know I could've but I'll go into more detail next time. Thx

[Tutorial: Masking]

Good tutorial...

...except the sound was too muddy. I recommend boosting the upper mids in it to make it clearer.

ZoloftClock responds:

thanx for the advice mah good man

[Megaman vs Ghosts&Goblins]

Awesome

This is very impressive. It must have been a lot of work, even with a pre-existing engine.

Kudos!

[The Shadows]

Quite nice - but scripting could be better

Great game, but the sword restarts its cycle on each press. IF that's not deliberate:

Hold a variable so that slashes don't restart:

onClipEvent(load) {
var slashing = false;
}

Then, only play slash if not slashing already:

if (!slashing) {
this.gotoAndPlay("slash");
}

At the end of the slash, have an action:

this.slashing=false;

This will fix the sword problem

[Tutorial: Star Wars Saber]

Wicked!

Gotta love anything with 'sabers!

That was cool, cheers man

AntiClockClock responds:

Thx! Love them indeed!
