[madness mahjong]

it's a start

As someone who has played many versions of online mahjong it seems to me that this is a good start but needs improvement. With traditional mahjong it's clear that certain tiles can be paired but with this version there's no real reason a person would know beforehand that a closeup of the plain face can be paired with the tile that depicts the full figure.

[Connect: A Geometric Game]

original

And a refreshing change from the almost constant stream of shoot 'em up games that I see in the portal. Too bad it isn't feasible to make a 3d version.

[Learn to use Algebra]

commendable effort

It's always good to see games like this.
I like it, but have a few suggestions:

1. Give the user the option of turning off the music mid-game. After awhile the sound was distracting and not welcome but I couldn't find any button for muting the music in the game.

2. Make the coin questions progressively more challenging. After a few questions where X is the same for all the coins that add up to the given sum it would be nice to see questions that involve situations where, say, there are twice as many dimes as there are quarters. Naturally, the more challenging the question the more points a correct answer should be worth in the game.

[Horse Racing game]

suggestion

The same horse wins in any given race; for instance, white horse always wins race #5. It would be more interesting if the outcome of the different races was randomized. Since you suggest it as a betting game, it would also be nice if the interface had a way of actually placing bets.

[Smash Bros Melee Quiz]

sound suggestion

Bad sound does detract from an otherwise nice flash. Put the following code on buttons that select incorrect answers:

on(release) {
stopAllSounds();
}
(as well as other commands you already have on the buttons)

Thanks. how do i re-open my flash?

[Webcam Snatchers]

it laaaaaaaags

A game that requires using the mouse which is highly unresponsive to the mouse is not going to be seen as very fun by anyone i know. Graphics were very nice but the lack of response to the movement of my mouse made the overall experience a disappointment.

[Floating Shooter]

nice

The action is nice and i like the game. It would be better if it had some sound effects (e.g., when firing the blaster, when hitting the asteroids).

[Astro Balloon]

ok but could be better

Nice graphics and seems to be scripted well, but all a person has to do is keep hir finger on the mousebutton to stay above the flight line of the birds and blimps so it's not quite as challenging as it could be.

[Space Monkey]

thumbs up

best game i've seen in the portal for some time now.

[Sound Control Tutorial]

graphics are nice, true

I'd agree with the previous reviewer, though, that it isn't necessary to have the intro up for quite so long.

I'll try the code for having a sound play when a button is pressed.
Thanks.

Lockdude responds:

Thanks, for your review, I'll take the "A Lockdue Production" thing into mind for my next flash, thanks for being honest.
