[Naruto/Sasuke Fight TEST]

i'm no pro, but here's some advice

yes, this definitly has a lot of potential. Sprite are great and fluids, attacks are... well they attack.

here's some suggestion (some are harder to do than the others)

1, Character get "stunned" or falls back when hit. (Opens the way to combos)
2, combos, instead of pressing and holding the attack button, make it a "mash" thing. dunno if that's clear enough.... It feels like an autofire, make it manual fire =)
3, add some characters! (dunno if you planned to add more, bt it'd be great. like, secret chars after story mode or something.
4, The SFX can be found easily. if they get it for Warcraft 3 maps, you should be able to find it. Try the "HIVE" forum. They specialise in wc3 maps but you might be able to find the SFX there (or some hint at least)
5, when the attack doesn't connect (doesn't hit at all) make it impossible to chain the rest of the combo. That, or make 2-3 attack buttons with different type of attack.
6, try to add some "limitation" to the jutsu (Rasengan and Chidori) so we can't do it anytime we want. Like, a Chakra meteror something. Maybe a button combination too? Like up-left-down-right-H-H-H.
7, Special background effect when "high level Jutsu" are used. Like "Katon, Gokyaku no jutsu - the fireball - and some other stuff. Why not som picture on the background? Maybe the Character's face on one of the corner of the screen.

Personnal request would be to add Konohamaru to the character. I remember playing as Konohamaru on one of the PS2 games, instead of Kunai or star, he throws rocks and stuff. pretty funny.

Also, you could add some humor, funny line the character said or random funny/stunned/shocked face for the loser. Naruto is an expressive anime so i don't think you'll need to search very far to get some nifty face expressions.

You could let the player choose his character (especially if you use AI and stuff)

That's about it i think. If i ever get more ideas or suggestions, i'll let you know.

Good Luck!

Good detailed criticism :D Thats what I needed! thanks

[1-bit jumper]

some tips

to all those who don't understand by themselves.

If you HOLD the mouse button, you will jump higher!
After the first 4 hurdles the game speed up a bit. And make it easier to jump over the hurdle.
After 10 hurdles, it's relativly easy to avoid the hurdle. I didn't get past the 20's yet but i like this game. i'll try to get a real score, maybe hit the 100 or so.

I don't understand why you made a japanese version but it's ok, i don't really mind haha.

kcnh responds:

I am glad to see that someone understands the game mechanics. The game is in both English and Chinese (not Japanese). Thank you for your review.

DMC Much?

Graphic : nothing new. I like the desing but it lacks originality. Store Clerk is kewl though!
Music : Not bad. Catchy song for the level and heavy for the sub bosses.
Gamplay : Not the best i've seen. I think you should work on the UI and the mouvements a bit more. Overall it's "ok".

Is this really your first flash game? Because it's pretty well done. If the other maker of this game have more knowledge sure, but it's uncommon to see such detailed perfomance on the first try.

I like your game. Work on it a little more and add some effect. Maybe a quality setting? Voices could be a funny add on with the bosses. Make the girl's chest "bouncy" ? That's my own perverted suggestion, don't mind me =P

Store Clerk could be an interactive character. i mean what if clicking on her produced some side-effect in the game? (Faster mouvement speed, better jumps. etc) with a % of chance happening.

I found some glitches and bugs here and there. Here's a few of them.
When you jump, you can shoot below the ground level.
You can double and triple jump using the rocket launcher and a breakable object.
When you switch weapon very fast and don't release spacebar, you get the infinite rocket with machine gun speed while carrying the gun sprite. Was kewl on the last boss.
The gun glitch can also make the game crash or freeze.
Replaying a level with a bosse will make that boss reappear.
One of the level (not the end level) doesn't have the white mask. Sorry i dont remember which, the game is currently frozen for me atm (too much gun glitche)

I think that's about it. Work on it a little more pal! i'm sure you can get a helluva good game with that!

Marsume responds:

Thanks the the great review.
Everything was done by me, and yeah It's my first game.
Zach worked on it with me, but he only did sfx and music.

And thanks for pointing out those things, that I may have missed.

Every level does indeed have a white mask, it just might be hidden ;)
Thanks again!
