This is a great 8 bit game! I really enjoy it, even after testing it.
A few things I've noticed that could be improved:
- When you go back to the path that splits from the jungle, you pop out on the far left of the screen. I would suggest popping out in the middle, so that if you want to go left or right from there, you aren't right on the edge (particularly if you want to go right)
- When you pick something up, it would be nice to have a little notation of "you've picked up a fibrous bran muffin!" and a little not of "muffin", "oil", "ice cream", etc when you press A to view your inventory, and since you will likely never have more than 2 or 3 items in it at a time, space won't be a problem.
- Currently there is no way to bring sound back after you press M for mute. Perhaps having it so that when you press M again, the sound starts again.
That's it!
The art is great, and you managed to get the medals in without any glitches. I even had a hard time finding those secret movies at first. I enjoyed all of the shout outs you gave to so many people, it feels like a real community-oriented game (and not like a lame inside joke either).

Yea, I thought about making a little popup to tell you that you found an item, but I couldn't think of a good way to without disturbing the gameplay.
Thanks for the review

There is nothing better than explosions set in completely inappropriate story lines!
This is probably my favorite clock day submission. I really liked Stafff's exploding sound effects better than any stock explosion sounds you could have used instead.

I love his announcer voice. Sometimes we have entire conversations in the announcer voice and I laugh until it hurts.

The oldschool feel is great. I can only hope for a sequel with more baysplosions, NGers and bartering.

Seven, you are improving greatly in Flash!
I have to hand it to you for sticking it out and working on this despite Flash being a bitch to work with. I liked your use of tweens, movie clips and even frame-by-frame work. It's really cool how folks will help you out when you're a n00b at stuff.
Maybe next time you can clean up some of the sound to get rid of staff's background static, I'd recommend Audacity, it's free and sardonic and rig say it's a good one to use for music editing, so you know it's a winner!
You could also try animating the raptor if you use him again rather than using the photoshop pic, so it meshes better with the rest of the flash, but I'm sure that would be one hell of an ordeal, you were telling me how much a pain it was just to get the guys drinking beer and the clouds moving!
Great job!

Thank you Mal. What a perfect review. You should be a review mod....wait....Bilbo won't ever be animated, he's always going to be real....it's part of the joke..... but I'll work on cleaning him up. and I want to learn how to use more tools in flash, besides the basics. Stafff and I had heck with those audio clips. So we appreicate the advice.

that was really pretty cool!
though, you need a pre-loader and an actual ending. otherwise it keeps looping and the songs wind up making a lot of noise.
Also, you need to give credit where credit is do, you need to point out WHO your audio is from.
is there any way you could compress the file? 8k is huge for that, if it's the song, there are things you can do to lower the file size.
Author's Response:
really how do i decrease it
and besides that i have no idea how to make a preloader im fairly new at flash

the interactivity is nice, but might i suggest putting a little "directions" or something, because I was half a second away from 0ing it for just stopping on one frame and not doing anything. but on my way to close the window i noticed my mouse went over a link in the frame. after that, it was fine.
keep up the good work!
Author's Response:
ah i see
directions
another thing to improve on
thanks for the review Malachy!
