Photoshop Intro
First when I started to create my header, I needed to get the background image that would be the base. I chose something that could be stretched to the right size for the header. After that I chose photos that I thought would look good on it and quick selected the parts I wanted. Once I dragged it to the background I would edit out parts I didn't want by zooming in, erasing, and sometimes changing the blending options; for example, choosing the lighter colour to be shown on the triforce piece in the middle to get rid of some of the left over black parts. For the rest of them I mostly just made it fade so it blended better. After it was done I just added text and finished.

GAME ANALYSIS DAY
Game Chart Link
1. Each game stood out to me in some way. They all included different elements and interesting gameplay, mainly Super Smash Flash 2, Pause Ahead, and This is the Only Level. They all had some kind of unique gameplay element whether it's the controls or objective.
2. Super Smash Flash 2 was probably the "good" game because of how it manages to succeed at pretty much every element from the graphics, to the objectives, to the enemies, it has almost no flaws.
3. Nitrome Must Die was probably the "bad" game because the enemies weren't fun to destroy, the rewards did not make me want to try harder, the concept was bland and basic, and the only thing I liked was probably the graphics which is saying a lot. There's nothing wrong with the game itself, the genre and mechanics are okay, I just found it hard to enjoy and it was just not fun in general.
4. Super Smash Flash 2 is mainly trying to launch your opponent off the stage and off screen. There is no real plot but the fighting mechanics itself are fun to play and get better at. You're supposed to use combos and attacks that will raise the percentage of the opponent and once it is high enough, they will be easier to launch off stage. The positives are definitely the enemies that are all separate characters, the concept that is based on the actual Super Smash Bros. series, the graphics, and the navigation. Although it is a more pixelated version of SSB, it IS a browser game and it actually does really well. There are a lot of characters not normally in SSB and the controls that may seem strange at first can be changed to fit the player better just like in the regular SSB games. The only negatives to this game would probably be that the rewards are really just you being able to finish the campaign and get good. Eventually you would probably get tired of playing. Anyway, I still rate this a 9/10 (for a browser game) because there's just so many good things about SSF2 that shouldn't be ignored.
