Hey man, the game really isn't all that great, but that's not what I want to tell you. First I want to actually tell you how you can improve, even though these may sound harsh I mean the best.
1) Spend more than just a minute or two on art. Really give your all on every little thing you do.
2) This doesn't look like you really did anything related to megaman, other than the sprites. If you're going to create a megaman game you should add the type of megaman gameplay that is in megaman. For example, the lack of being able to shoot projectiles, slide, or anything like that. Also there could be a boss fight at the end.
3) Just because you can show this to your family members and make them say you're smart, doesn't mean that. Why you ask? Because, they most likely don't know you just ripped the code for this game from somewhere else. Trust me, I know, I used to do the same thing. You'll feel so much prouder of your own work when it's a piece of crap, but you know you made it yourself.
4) You said: "i made it by my own and i am 13 so shut up." That's no excuse. I've made plenty of programs on my own, and I'm only 15. Plus you really shouldn't be so rude to people who play your games, if they say something rude, ignore them. If they say something negative, ask them how you can improve. Look at your game, if you found it on the internet would you enjoy it? That's why others don't either. I think if you actually give more effort you could go extremely far.

I'm not trying to discourage you and I hope you understand, your age isn't a restriction you can do so much more. I'm giving you two stars because I know how you feel, but if you ever make something you honestly made by yourself from scratch with next-to-no help from ANYONE or ANYTHING else, I will get on there and rate it a 5. For the amazing effort that goes through it. Message me if you ever do your own project. Also, you might want to try a different language if you're taking a serious approach to programming. I'm personally learning Java, but C++ or Python are good languages too. Thank you for your time. I hope you realize I'm not trying to be rude.

There was a glitch, where the mouse from the tutorial was stuck and kept on dragging objects in the game ._. it was awful... but the game it self was fun up until then :)

ArcadeGrab responds:

Strange, I can't reproduce this error. We'll look into it.

Cant Stop: Hill Challenge

Very nice :) maybe make the walking animation and the enemies look nicer, but al l in all very cool for your first game :) Umm, I suggest making the Menu button a bit bigger and bring you to the menu. Also the background seems to be a little off. You earned a favorite from me and a 3.5/5 :)

DeadlyCheese responds:

thanks for the feedback :)

Some of the art reminds me of minecraft, nice game.

Revilossor responds:

Yeah i was a bit worried about that - i drew the pig, and was gonna do sheep and cows but thought that might be pushing it a bit! Thanks for playing!

Platform [TUTORIAL][AS2]

If the person viewing the tutorial had a basic understanding of As2 why would they need your tut?

TheeCoffee responds:

they just need use to know what Actionscript 2 is xD

ICE - Solitary

Whenever you submit the game make sure you tell newgrounds the real size of your game so that it wont have the border.

Seems like a pretty good game :)
the level where it says "Who built these? Where are the people?" the first spike disappears if you hit it the right way.
Interesting story, but the gameplay isn't very good.
Make it so there is at least somewhere in the game where there is no ice... please. All the ice makes the game unenjoyable.
The part where there is like nothing but squares all the way up the screen is just annoying.
The game is poorly designed and has literally no replay value and the game is functional but since it was made in stencyl you didn't do that. All you made was the art, and it still isn't very good.
Im not down rating this because of the difficulty but because there is nothing fun about this game.
Also on "the final stretch" I was 2 blocks away from the spike and it made me restart you need better collision detection. The ending was crappy and the story sucked. All in all this game needs a lot more work before it is released it sucks. 1 star for effort...
