Make sure that the music sync is stream and not event or start. This way the sync will never change. I have no idea how it works, it's just my take that you use stream if you always want the music to be in sync with the animation. You may need to redo some of the animation if you change the music to stream though in order for it to actually be in sync, but it will ALWAYS be in sync (I think). If you've already done this, then I have no clue. Nice art work by the way.

I really liked this. Short and simple. Nothing too complicated or difficult. Everything was fluid. Didn't come across any bugs. Only thing that could be improved on would be adding some music and sound. Sound for when the guy is walking, or does a jump maybe. Maybe a simple sound when a bacon point is collected. Would also be nice if it showed how many bacon points I had while playing, and out of how many total there are on the map. And ofcourse there is tons of room to expand on this, but I'm sure you have some ideas. Look forward to the next ones you make, and hopefully there will be some more plot and challenge.
Good Job.

It was an experiment to make a platformer, and i was eating bacon at the time and it hit me... OMG BACON QUEST! So basically sound and artistic crap wasn't a priority, making a functional platformer was, the whole bacon theme is there because... dude..... bacon is god tier!

"Didn't know key codes in AS differ from ASCII"
I was going to it a lower rating, but I suppose I just learned something new. And that is that key codes in Action Script are not the same codes found on the ASCII table. Why is that?
Anyways, this flash is still lacking and should not be stand alone. Would go well in a tutorial explaining why these key codes are useful and how they would be used in control structures or conditional statements. If you did that I would have given it a 10. As it stands, it's just too plain with no explaination. Should add something like
if(keyEvent.keyCode == 38)
myTextBox.text = "Up Arrow Key was pressed.";
And add a little explaination of the code, and why some one would want to do this. Other than that, thanks for the tip.

That was a very good story. It kept me hooked, something I don't see too often here on newgrounds. The only thing I can think of that you could improve on is the artwork, which isn't bad, but can always be better. For two weeks of work though, it's really great. 3.53 now, seems like you're going to have to buy that milkshake. ;)

Everything seems to work except the triangle. The input text is white with a white box, which makes it hard to see. Also the blue triangle itself seems to disappear no matter how big of a number I put into it.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. As far as learning action script, keep trying different stuff and testing to see if it works or not. It's what I'm doing right now.
Author's Response:
Yeah I decided to change the background to black last minute cause its easier on the eyes and I forgot the white boxes on the traingles to black lol. Thx for the review.

--Goodpoints--
*Good graphics on the buttons
*The moving buttons is slightly challenging
*Checkpoint was a good idea
--bad points--
*No music
*No sounds (such as clicking the buttons or clicking the wrong button)
*The hit area on the "click the smallest circle" frame is way too small. It is almost impossible to get it and I have a senstive mouse. Maybe make the hit area for that button slighly larger.
*This isn't original and a lot of people have made games similar to this one.
*You should throw in some animations or do something that can make this more creative
Overall: Good game mechanics, hopefully we can see some more improvements to this type of game and perhaps something a little more interesting then clicking buttons ;)

I like your artwork and you have some pretty good talent. You also have a very good storyline and I find this episode extremely funny. I think the best part however is the fight scene. Keep them coming!

In the game menu under the controls menu it doesn't say to press "A" to drain the blood while in the bat cave. It only says to use the key arrows to move and "S" to attack, but it was missing the "A" button. When I quit the first time I realized what to do by reading your comment. Other than that good game. Sort of short though.
Author's Response:
Yea, but as stated above, it's RIGHT THERE as soon as you actually enter the cave itself. I don't understand how there is all this confusion....
Thanks for the 9 though.

The only things that could make it better is if you made it more clear for people to find the menu for the level editor which is on the far left. Aslo some kind of link on the main menu that brought up the high scores list. Also you might want to change the fact that people can edit the levels in the episode levels and still submit their score for the high score list.
Other than that, great game! After I beat the first episode I went straight to the last episode. It was a bit trickey. The first level was easy, the second one gave me a hard time until I fiqured out that it matter which order you picked up the keys, because the golden key with no golden gate made no sense along with the red door with no red key. When I got to the third level, it seemed impossible and then that's when I fiqured out that you could edit the episode levels and even crazy more you could submit your score for a high score.
Well I'm going to go back and see if I can fiqure out level 3 of the last episode again and see if I can't beat it fair and square. It's a very addictive game by the way.

What egoman found was on the last page. Once you finish the tutorial, you are able to go back, but when you do you can no longer go forwarded unless you go all the way back to the begining. Hope this helps.
