This game was entertaining and fun. Graphics were nice, sound was ok. The way you could interact with the game was also very nice. Yes there is a lot of quality in this BUT...
Every "puzzle" took me less than 5 seconds to solve.
You should really make this game harder. The size of Mike was ok in the very last puzzle. But then you should have made that picture very crowded or something.
Anyways, my overall is a 7 because of the lacking difficulty.
Keep up the good work!

Um . . . I think you might have missed the point. In What Location Is Mike? is SUPPOSED to be easy. That's the joke. Like the last one - a regular Where's Wally thing but everyone has already gone home.
I might make one that is much harder. Sort of like a veterans one or something. Anyway, thanks.

...far too static! Sometimes you really have no clue what strategy you must choose. The results are far from being logical.
Like:
(When you assault the base and let the snipers take out the guards, you infiltrate the base with 4 soldiers. After that you lose while being in advantage. It was 4vs2 and the enemy soldiers didn't know the base was infiltrated. So I actually lost while having double advantage)
Maybe you should write the engine in real time, this was pretty annoying.
Graphics, style, sound and violence were ok.
Overall 4. (because of the lack of gameplay which is most important for a game)

... I managed to get to the end of the game. You just need to move around a little so the 'zombies' will follow you. Then you move in a circle around them to the arrow which takes you to the next screen/scene where you can just move around the zombies the same way again.
I'm not saying this game is bad. It has potential. The music was chosen well from Resident Evil. (That was maybe the best part of your game because I like the music from the movie) The game is just not good enough and I think this was overrated.
The graphics were not bad, but not special either. You can move in only a few general directions, the AI is pretty dumb, the game was too easy and too short and I can go on and on with critism.
6 overall.

"Compared to the other episodes..."
.. this one didn't entertain me as much. The story was sick and funny as usual but it seems it was more of the same after so many episodes.
Still you did a great job on graphics and sounds. It was just a little bit predictable and... once again... more of the same...

... someone will make a tutorial about how to make a tutorial for people who actually want to learn how to make a tutorial. I mean come on! If this was supposed to be just something funny then I can tell you, that you actually failed. The style of this flash was imho far from funny.
If you actually weren't trying to be funny at all, you failed either way. Your tutorial was hard to read and there was like no valueable information.
Sorry for being harsh, your idea was quite original... ...you should have done a funny movie about it.
But in this case my overall will be lower than my average because your flash didn't reach any target.

and I will laugh when that day comes, somebody that dosen't know how to make something as simple as a tutorial obviosly shoulden't be teaching others how to make flash.

The moral is kinda wicked, you're definitely not from Holland :) (soft drugs are legalized here)
Funny random story and some nice graphics and animations. Maybe a bit too random, especially with the gore. It was good, try making your next submission even better!

And I didn't even bother to write a review. But now that I see this will pass judgement I will explain to you why I think this game is not good at all.
At first the game is something that has been overdone. I won't say that this will directly harm your score, but you did not add new features to this old concept so it is kind of useless. Now I will explain my other reasons why I think this game shouldn't have a score above 2.
- The graphics are bad. It looks like you rushed into drawing some stuff just because you were too lazy to spend more time on it.
- The sounds are not very good either, just some plain sounds... nothing more.
- The bullet that comes out of your cannon is just a tween inside the same moveclip as your cannon!! It even looks like the bullet is made frame by frame! I mean if I button bash my left mouse button the bullet movieclip repeats itself and not even one bullet will be shot into the air for real! But there is more... if I single press the left mouse button and move my cannon, the bullets angle will move along with the cannon which is the proof that your bullet is indeed just a tween (or fbf) into the same movie clip.
- Your cannon can only move in 10 different angles instead of just moving precisely along with your crosshair.
- The game is pointless and too repetitive. There is no story, there are no clear objectives, not anything that makes me want to play this for more than one minute.
Im sorry for being so harsh but you should really use more mathematics and programming.
Put your bullets in an array and use mathematics like Math.cos, Math.sin and Math.atan2 to calculate their paths.
Keep practising and good luck wih your further submissions...

Anyhow, Im not so very satisfied with this game;
- You can only shoot when you aim where you are supposed to aim.
- Your enemies don't do anything. (no AI)
- Amazingly short.
- Graphics and sounds not so good.
Actually, I don't think you can really call this a game, it's some sort of interactive movie.
Keep trying and good luck with your next submission.

... actually the first time I give a review to a dress up. Those things are really not what I like most but this one was nicely drawn. There were also enough objects to dress up the angel.
Maybe you should organize the objects a little more. It was a little bit chaotic. A print button after you have completed dressing up the angel would be nice too.
Overall there was not so much to do, but it has potential. Try to improve on your next submission... and keep up the good work!

Omg the cellphone really did the job! It was a nice, funny and simple flash! Very well done.
Actually it is obvious that you can still improve on certain things, like graphics and a preloader.
