It seems like a simple game, but it really makes you think since you can't retrace any of your steps without failing. That's one part of the game that makes it a great game, because it's a challenge to try and figure out the right path. Challenges always make games more fun. The graphics were pretty sharp, and the overall concept of the game is pretty good. Nice work.

I had a lot of fun with this game. There's certainly a lot to be said about how unique and old-school it looks. I love the black and white style the most, and the Nintendo-esque music and characters/settings were positively amazing. Very well-designed. The gameplay was pretty fun too, and I'm glad to see it got more challenging along the way. Nice work.

That's awesome to hear :)
When I complete the game, hopefully it'll be much better :)
Thanks a lot for your review ;D

I think you executed this flash perfectly with the song. I think the commentary in the middle was a good idea, too. It is kind of hard to do a filler for a song with an instrumental break in the middle, but the commentary was a nice touch, especially since it breaks down the meaning of what the song is like. Also, I like the transition from the commentary to the slideshow and back to the flash. It brought in the best of both worlds there.
Overall, I thought it was well-executed, and it was a very appealing flash. Hopefully this makes the front page. I think it is worthy of that honor.

I kind of lose interest in it after a while, though. One piece of advice you may be able to benefit from is that you should make the black cubes come from all different directions instead of having them all fall from the top. I see you did that with the white cubes, but you should definitely consider doing that with the black cubes too, just so it isn't as easy to time where they're coming from.
Also, possibly have the cubes alternate being showing up more frequently and growing in size. That'd definitely make the game more challenging. Throw in a little background music for effect, and you've got yourself a pretty good game here.

A real brain teaser, if I say so myself. The more challenging it gets, the more fun the game gets as well. The style and animation was pretty sweet, and the music went along with the game perfectly. I also especially liked the fact that the levels build up to be a lot harder. That keeps the person interested in the game beating the easy levels first and moving up to more challenging puzzles. Nice work.

I felt like a little more effort could have been put into this. Not so much for the artistry or style, just for a better, more thought-out concept to the flash. Although I do have to give you credit on the cow's spots. I wonder how many people will notice it's a map of the world. I give you some points for creativity there.
But overall, try and lengthen it out, and add-on to what the farmer does. You know, maybe add in what else farmers do on the farm, with a comedic twist to it. Regardless, I think it has a lot of room for improvement.

I love it. We should have a flash for the BBS Awards done every year. If we do, I'd leave you in charge of them, because you did a tremendous job on this. I also liked how you linked the winners' profiles by their respective categories that they won, and all the stats that were mentioned, also while mentioning past winners. Too bad it's only a once a year flash, because it was done pretty well. Nice work.

The animation was pretty sweet. Your style for your characters was some of the best I've seen. And you did execute the title of your flash just right. That was a bear meeting a boy. The bear looked exactly how you made it in my opinion, what with it's grumpy facial expression and all. Yeah, it was short, which kind of disappointed me a little. However, maybe you could turn this into a mini-series or something. I'd like to see that. I believe it has potential.
Author's Response:
Wow, thanks man.
I'm glad you liked it, I might turn it into a little series or something. I don't know.

This would be a nice beginner tutorial for those that are just getting into the usage of sprites. I even liked the fact that you incorporated your moving Mario sprites as the "back" and "next" page buttons. I think the information was pretty self-explanatory, so it'd be easy to learn, and the theme to it was put together nicely. Overall, great job.

Sure, the character designs weren't spectacular, the actual animation to me was pretty decent. Coupled with the fact that it was a different concept, I say that with a few improvements to character and background designs, this has some good potential to be a 3+ point-ranking flash.
