"longer/more detailed would have been better"

submission: [ Death ]

date: October 22, 2004

Overall, the flash could be improved by making it longer so as to
more fully express/clarify the idea(s) behind it. Suicide is a
complcated issue.

It's overly simplistic to say that suicide is either an act of courage
or "the coward's way out". Death is inevitable, yes, but since
nobody can really prove what, if anything, is waiting beyond the
grave, it's not really prudent to suicide unless one is quite certain
that all the other options are unacceptable. It's not a question of
being stronger than everyone else but whether a person believes
hir own life is worth continuing or not. As near as i can tell, folks
who say suicide is a sign of weakness have never actually
experienced the ambivalence of being strongly suicidal, and so
they don't really understand the resolve that's required to actually
go through with it.

If i were to attempt to improve upon this flash,
i'd try to convey the strong ambivalence that a suicidal person
feels both before and sometime even during the process of
dying. You've expressed the hope that there is something better
beyond life, but without expressing the conflict that led up to
someone killing hirself, it's very hard to avoid giving the overall
impression that this is a glorification of the event. If we really
are the captains of our own fates, then it is as much our
perogative to suicide as to carry on with life, but that does not
make suicide an especially happy thing. Know what i'm saying?

"liked it"

submission: Mummo (Granny)

The subtle touches were the best
(e.g., death laughing when she tried to hang
herself).

"a suggestion"

submission: The Stressrelief Stickman

date: September 18, 2004

You might want to consider altering the code for
the option buttons so that repeated pushing of
the button doesn't repeatedly restart the clip
chosen.

But then, mebbe not. It was mildly
amusing to keep hitting the gun button and
seeing the first bit of the shooting clip without
following it to the end.

Score: 9

"funny"

The secret part was clever. Looking forward to
more episodes

"newgrounds needs more stuff like this"

Enjoyed it very much; it's good to see quality
flash that doesn't rely on gratuitous gore.

Kudos to you!

"a suggestion"

submission: Zoltron

date: April 14, 2004

Overall good, but the bombs being directed at
the player are difficult to see given the
low resolution graphics of the background. I
recommend changing the background so that the
pieces relevant to play stand out more.

Score: 7

"nice, but..."

submission: ClockLand- The Lost Files

date: March 29, 2004

When the clock i was controlling fell into
that gaping chasm the game neither ended nor
did the scene change so that i could see where
the clock had fallen. You should probably change
that.

"well done"

submission: NG Dress Up #2

date: February 14, 2004

The flames that are meant to come out of the
one character's nostrils were especially
appreciated.
