Incredible

Well done. You've risen to the soaring heights of bad web adverts.

Alright

I wasn't a fan of your layout. It took me ages to find out how to actually get to the 'meat'. I know it's old hat, but I'd much prefer a big ol' play button and some dialogue.

Also, I can't really concentrate on text if the music has words - at least there was an option to change or mute but I would have preferred no music and some spoken word.

Other than that, it seemed pretty comprehensive - all the points were for content.

Okay, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Not without merit

I really enjoyed the beetle animation.

Now go back, fix the many bugs (you know what I mean), and actually playtest it before submitting it. Put in a bit of polish.

Love

I love it but... what the hell is going on!?

[IncrediBots]

Pretty much perfect

Basically the best flash game I've ever played. Kind of like Garry's Mod for Firefox.

Here's some suggestions:
1. The Sliding Joints are very fragile, and only take a slight bump to disable them. This is especially evident with long ones.
2. Adding the facility to 'merge' shapes together, making one whole shape, and maybe even subtracting one shape from another (similar to the way LBP uses shapes as erasers). This saves on Fixing Joints, as well simplifying the finished machine.
3. Having shortcut keys for shapes and joints.
4. Perhaps, and this is just a novelty, adding the ability to import .gifs of your face, which you can apply as a texture to shapes. That way you could have celebrity levels.

All in all, well deserving of me rating it 5/5 every day.

[Flash 8 Blur Tutorial]

Thank you!

I didn't watch the whole thing, but I just wanted to find out how to use filters so you still helped me heaps.

One criticism: You never use a song with words for a tutorial - it's distracting. An ambient or subtle song usually works well, or fail that no music at all.

Also, you never use that old English font unless you're using it for decoration, it's hard to read.

Thanks for the tute!

Damn you!

Oh man, I love this game, you think exactly like I do - I'm on a Mac and I blitzed it! but I really wanted to have a go at those supposedly 'unbeatable' levels.

In the spirit of the game I've found an ingenious cross platform way of cheating, but you deny me the chance to submit a high-score! Mac or not, give us the option of having a shot.
