Frostbyte250's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Love Letter]

Hahaha, I think even "video-games are stupid" girls would like this.
It's cute, short, full of good taste, and has an amusing ending.
Despite it's shortness, this was an EXTREMELY good idea for an experimental indie game.
I love it even more because of the retro tunes and the pixel graphics. (Is it safe to assume Flixel was used here?)
Anyways, I hope there's more things like this to follow.

Cheers~!

Thanks, and let me know if you test the game out on any of those girls. ;)

You can definitely assume Flixel was used here - Flixel v2.55, with my own enhancements, to be exact. I'll be releasing the source code soon, actually. :) I think you can look forward to more like this.

I definitely like this so far, the little 2-D effects like the character animations bobbing and flipping to indicate physical movement is a great touch.
However, in the very first opening scene, I noticed that there was an error for you to scrutinize:
When the Fjor goes with Cinnacat and Fizzle to meet Coal and Jahti, a piece or two of dialogue was left out concerning the mercenaries learning why the girl was hiring them because of their skills. Somehow Cinnacat already knew about the artifact?
The music was a good choice for this style of an RPG, and I'm impressed overall.
Besides that script error, I would greatly emphasize correcting the combat scene animations when the characters are attacking. Especially with Coal (although his attack is pretty awesome as is), if you were to time the attacks with the damage and the victim's flashing to indicate damage...
You'd have a real kickass combat scene.
After that, the only real improvement that could be made is better art, graphics, and music. All of which are satisfactory now, and the improvements could very well be considered only as "tweaks."

Odd

I'm using Google Chrome, and for some reason I couldn't get the robot to even move. I tried opening it in Internet Explorer, and the robot went nuts and went all over the place without me pressing any buttons to start with. Idk if it's a bug, my web browser, or just something that I didn't fully download. I'll give it a 10 though, cuz I played Coma and I expect this is just as awesome.

Well thank you :)
