Actually awful. Do you not realise this is gonna attract more flamers? I wish I could destroy your computer and give you -5 out of 5 stars. Not even a game. FAIL.

i you put in a good effort, people wont give you shit

I find it odd that you say you don't want people to post things like "Why the hell did you post this crap?" yet you uploaded this. Does that not make sense to anyone else?

I made my "Shoot & Avoid" in exactly 11 minutes. I'm sorry, but your game sucks. Try to make it a game rather than just "click this to win" and "click this to lose".

You don't even have to click on the next button, anywhere on the screen works, and I AM a developer, admittedly I've only made a few short games but they're a whole lot better than yours, most flamers comments get flagged anyway by the nice people

There's a minority of young dev's who do an amazing job, even if it's not perfect, it's clear they produced real effort. On the other hand, there's this swarm of bored emo kids who can't stand the idea of working more than 30 min before uploading their stuff. You will notice the former do get "constructive" comments. And about "flamers" who can't code, you don't need to be a mechanic to prefer driving a real car to a wreck. You're in a consumer market, get over it or just quit if it's too hard on you.

man, looking at the games you have on kong, have you at least tried to make a *real* game? i mean, i am not a developer on kong, but i do study c++ and java. i know a bit of game design and i know that half of the games that get flames could be avoided with a simple "try your game first".
you speak of giving incentive to developers, but half of the games i played here recently don't have even a different idea. they are, most of the times, just a simple plain game that someone used to practice programing. of course they will receive flames. if you are going to make a game, have something different. if you are just training, think twice before posting it.
and if you stick with releasing it, learn to take critics.

Really? Took ya 3 minutes to make this? Thats crap.... http://www.kongregate.com/games/Aerys/mutebutton-2-litterbox-hero Heres a game I made in 5 minutes. If youre gonna make a crappy fake game, at least put some quality into it.

Lame.
But seriously, some of the stuff posted on Kong is straight tutorial stuff, some is full of bugs that a few minutes testing would have revealed, and some stuff is just plain bad. Whining about comments doesn't help. Making better games helps.

This doesn't change my view that their should be a top kong and a 'in progress' kong where games that haven't been tested (functional, enjoyable, etc) can be posted freely.

If newb developers can't take criticism then they prob need to find something else to do. As a programer (not games), I know my work isn't perfect and I need feedback. I ignore criticism that isn't constructive.

i'm not a developer (i can't create anything), but i do feel your pain. i'm sure this will be flamed itself. i always try to point out the good stuff about peoples' first attempts

P.S. Not a flame - I agree with your overall sentiment. I'm just not sure this is an effective avenue to get taken seriously. And in the end, you need thick skin to deal with some folks wandering around the web. ;)

I was ready to put this down as overly sensitve drivel until the Karaoke. :) Seriously though, putting something up for public consumption is always going to be subject to often unfair scrutiny. If I could wave a magic wand and make internet trolls all nicey-nice I would, but until then you gotta expect some amount of B.S. from the anonymous.

Karaoke? Really? Still, its nice too hear from a developer that actualy speaks out but whats ironic is the fact that this game(I use that term lightley)will omst likely get flames ALOT. Also, you made some spelling errors in the thing too(Don't worry, I made some myself in this post).

Perhaps starting developers would get a better reception if they tried to make something decent for their first game. They seem to think that making a maze game, dressup game, tetris clone, etc. and labeling it as "my first game" means that they can get away with posting that crap. If more starting developers actually put some effort into it, like this : http://www.kongregate.com/games/cinkyhu/the-frog-prince then maybe they would find a better reception.

As a developer myself, i totally agree with this. I try my hardest, yet people keep flaming my games. People that probably couldnt make a title for a game. weird.

I've noticed that the comments on Kong are rapidly approaching the level of discourse one expects on YouTube. I'm not a programmer myself, but I think the whole community is best served by constructive criticism.
Also, not a game. 1/5.
