[The Tutorial Collab '08]

Good idea, bad implementation

I mainly looked at the Art and design tutorials because they were what appealed to me most. It wasnt a great tutorial, the menu was bad and to get back to the Art page i wanted to see i had to go back to the main menu everytime - not good

The tutorials should have been checked, The bouncing one, there was no squash, it didnt look realistic.
The run cycle... it didnt look that good and it would have been better if it dealt with the whole body rather than just the legs. The feet arent always facing forward, in cartoons, the motion is exagerated and the feet should rotate around the ankle accordingly.

I did however find the shooting tutorial useful, but i dont know if id ever put shooting in a flash... so thats it.

Could you tell me how to improve it? It runs fine on my system, and your the first one who has told me that it is badly designed. Care to elaborate?

[Catchy-game]

Heres the story

You get a 3, here is why

Graphics 1/10
idea 7/10
Sound 0/10
gameplay 3/10

Average... 3.6/10

This could be a really awesome game.... here is how
Improve the graphics, so they have depth, add a background. Have levels with themes, so start with maybe a junbgle background and a bamboo stick with a wodden bucket on the end, or a sea theme, ect.

The gameplay could be improved simply by having the bucket controlled by the arrows and the mouse can control the colour slider. Find smeone to help you and you could have one of the sickest games on newgrounds, seriously, take this idea further. Hell ill even design graphics for you if you want.

You have my permission to steal this idea and make it yourself, if you want :-D
