These things happened to me too. I have 5 animation that aren't on Newgrounds for some weird reason "It wasn't appropriate." Since when has Newgrounds said anything wasn't appropriate?!?! To be honest, I think you should post your games on some other sites too, because I know half of them won't live here. I am not trying to be mean, and I am just as mad as you are

Actually, you can read the reviews on the obituaries page. Find your submissions there.

ADR3-N 2016-12-30 02:08:05

Uh, no it doesn't? Go to your email, see what day you submitted, and find the same day in obits. Then find your submission, because I'm sure you know what you named it. If that's too hard, making games in general may not be for you.

Also, if you're getting reviews like the above, check the Google Play store. The same goes on, it's just that there, people who (sometimes intentionally) make low quality content get to leave it up there. Here, the UJ exists. If we saved every piece of junk (and we just about do), our servers would be chock full, and we'd be paying out more ad revenue than we could afford (sort of already do), so the scoring system is there to mitigate that. I kind of wish the same could be said for audio and art. There is a lot of spam in both portal that needs flat out removed.

If your submissions are getting removed in 20 minutes, ask yourself these questions:
-did I work hard on my content? (more than 2 hours)
-is there any quality to it? ex: sound, bgm, story, art, etc
-is it only black and white? (these tend to do worse)
-is it stick figures? (these usually make the obit)

So on, so forth. What's separating your games from something like... the old point and click dating sims we used to have, etc. You really don't have to be that great to pass. I've seen people make it through with something as simple as a one frame Galaga clone.

Gonna be blunt here: your games are shit. They are "functional", but there's zero substance. Play other games that are well received and see what yours lack.

It's difficult. I know. Hard work makes good content.

I'm sure it can be very discouraging to have your content blammed, especially when you feel you've put so much effort in creating it. I've only ever tried to create a flash game once, and I abandoned it long ago, because at the time I was way in over my head.
If you love making games, keep making games. Regardless of blams or bad reviews, keep going 'cause you'll only get better at it. I just played your submission Rouge Command. So I'll leave my review here.
Simple idea, but it could be fun. Personally I would have preferred if the two colors (light blue/dark blue) were more distinct from each other (like red and green). Even on easy I found it a bit hard to distinguish in time which side I had to knock the balls into.
I did encounter what I think are two glitches in your game. The first time I played it, the paddle knocked the first ball in the right direction, but then after every ball went straight through the paddle until I got "game over" (I haven't been able to replicate this glitch so maybe it was a one off). The other is that selecting continue after a "game over" never reloads. The music plays out, but the "reload" screen never changes.
One more bit of advice (assuming you aren't doing this already). When you're going through other people's submissions, check out the reviews they get. Make a note of the people who leave good, constructive criticism, then when you're submitting new content, PM these people with a link to your submission asking for their opinions. Also never hurts to post in the forum as well. People might not reply straight away, but be persistent. And if the douchebag who leaves the "I HATE YOU" reviews shows up, just report them. :-)

Maybe you should try actually putting time into stuff that would be fun for other people than you and two friends, it also helps if you put more than 30 minutes in each game, and try not to spam when posting, otherwise you'll prob get banned

I'm sorry to hear that - Have you checked The Elite Barracks? http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/387319/1
That's where games get reported. with explication. Even if you don't see your games, maybe you can get the feel.

PS: Had come to check this page because <3 your Snail! GJ! :)
