"Funny"

submission: Ken Vs Terry

date: August 1, 2008

This movie sure brings a few good laughs but the fighting could be worked on. For the background, I like the first background with the moon, I think you could have used that instead of the other one you used for the actual fighting stage. When Ken and Terry were fighting, I think there was an overuse of the same sound and graphics, a variation could make it a whole lot better. The ending felt a little abrupt but I guess it was okay. Overall this was a pretty good sprite movie despite the decent fighting it had. There's a potential for a sequel such as involving a different character.

Score: 8

"It gives me the chills!"

submission: Area 51 - Beginning

date: August 1, 2008

Good music, sound, and graphics. You have potential to make part 2 of this movie a lot better. Some areas you can work on is animating more on the background, adding a few more details and improving the animations. Although I noticed that you animated the light particles, more of this kind of details can really add to your movie! I also like how you have voices, it made this movie more alive. The chime sounds in the beginning set the mood gave it a scary movie feeling, although it was a little slow it didn't hurt the movie too much. Oh and I was wondering why there were blood stains in the Alien tank ( don't they clean it?) and they used tape to put the information on the alien, being Area 51, a top secret and advance agency, you would expect they be more advanced and clean. Anyways, keep up the good work and I didn't think this was too short if this was a series like Area 51 - The Spread, or some sequel like that. Good luck on your future movies!

"Don't give up!"

submission: My First Flash Animations

date: July 29, 2008

This is a start. I see that you were experimenting with some effects and voice overs, but I know that you'll learn how to improve, eventually!

"Animators Unite!"

submission: Newgrounds-Invasion

date: July 24, 2008

I really like the idea you got here in this movie, even though it came from a dream lol, because about 3 years ago I had a similar idea of making a Newgrounds movie about a NG war, but anyways that's the past.
Despite the decent animation and lack of sound effects, the use of music and storytelling through actions made it just barely work. The animations of course could be better, but I guess the length of it made up for it. You did a good job referring to popular artist here at NG, and the animations were pretty good, like the character from Waterlollies. The music choice of using that Sephiroth song seemed a little repeatitive at times and I'm sure there are better songs out there to replace it. The first song, Requiem of a Dream was an okay match, it did express its drama but not exactly its action for the invasion that was going on. The fighting could be better of course, nonetheless you were able to get your story going through with simple animations. It seems like you put most of yoru effor tin making that fight with that stick guy, and of course the Naruto reference, but I don't blame you. Overall, good job, its always nice to see NG related movies that only NG fans can truly appreciate.

"Just like the old days"

submission: Inquisitive Dave

date: July 23, 2008

Flash games for awhile has been topping old NES games by the advancing programming of Flash and Action script codes. But in truth, creators of Flash games are advancing and making better games these days too. This game reminds me of the classic games of NES and Super Nintendo in which the goal of the game is simple using a simple game play. This game is enjoyable, but I can't help but say I was a little stuck in the beginning and the use keyboard buttons only added to the frustration, but once I got a hold of it things went on smooth. Speaking of smooth, I know that you're trying to make the old simplistic pixelated look, but I can't help myself but say that using smooth vector graphics in flash wouldn't have hurted your purpose of making this look like an old console game. Some of animations and graphics could have been done better even though the pixelated look may have held it back. Sometimes the game felt too quiet (except at the beginning when the explosion occured) so I would say it could have used more interactive sounds when you check something. In addition, occasionally I would forget what item I got and I wish I could click on the item and check what the item is or where I got it from. Overall, I enjoy this simplistic game that brings back old memories, a simple yet slightly challenging game that will make the player wonder what each object in game has to say.

"Catchy"

submission: Electro Gypsy

date: July 23, 2008

Although I don't know much about Gypsies and Electro pianos this video sure brings up a resemblance of a Hitler-look-alike singer and advertisement for Yamaha products and the selling of this song. I would personally buy this song, but it's so much funner watching this video and hear song here. You have made good use of your flash skills in helping sell something. Although most Jewish people or anti Nazi sentiments people may have against Hitler, it's a creative idea to play around with that idea and have fun of it. Generally speaking, I like your animation style it's smooth, simple and effective in portraying movements. Although I enjoyed the animation that went along with the music video, I can't help but to ask for more 'random' elements in the mix, like the reference to the Matrix. Overall, good work! I enjoy the humor and the childish aesthetics in your movies, I'll be expecting more movies from you!

Score: 8

"Good Start"

submission: Geno x Dedede

date: July 16, 2008

You made a good use of the flash effects and it looks like it's starting to work. The ending was okay, it wasn't so dramatic, perhaps have the classic "pick your ending" choice at the end instead of a draw. Although there's no plot or story necessary for a good sprite animation fight, having something that draws people into the characters can add to the flash movie.
Keep up the good work!

Score: 9

"Well Done"

submission: StoneAge Sam

date: July 11, 2008

I like this kind of casual games in which it involves just clicking, no rush whatsoever although there's a bonus timer. The visuals were nice, music fitting, sound clear and nto to mention the voice of Sam was well done. The only level I had a harder time was when you have to please the woman because I kept thinking she was satisfied with the flower, then with hitting the wall. Although the first level was the hardest one because you have a higher chance of dying. I wish the game was longer but I think it would have dragged on if it was, so it's all good. I like how the last stage combines all the elements from the previous stages. I can't help to think whether the movie 10,000 BC influenced you to make some aspects of the game, like the saber tooth tiger. Overall it was an entertaining game, I expect more games of this kind in the future.

Score: 7

"Good Start"

submission: Lf2 Xtreme: Embrace Light

date: July 4, 2008

It's an interesting series you got going here. Although undoubtedly influence from DBZ is evident here, with the sound effect and fighting sequences. I also notice some similarities with the plot and menu with the Super Mario bros Z series, correct me if I'm wrong, 7 orbs with 7 Chaos Emeralds? The fights aren't bad, it could be worked on more with more animations like others had already said. I know that there aren't that many sprites for each character, but that's where creative takes it from there right? The file size seems to be too big for the length of the movie, perhaps it's the picture format you're using for the flash movie or the uncompressed music, if you need help on that you can always look it up or you can ask me if you want for I'm familiar with it. The text shouldn't be required to be pressed to continue, although it's a real problem, it is just preferred for most viewers not to click while watching.
The LF2 sprite sheets you used sure were interesting and the LF2 sprite sheets from various mod I have never seen or heard of before. It's a good use of resources, if you continue hunting for sprites and backgrounds, your movie will surely contain many interesting characters and backgrounds which will expand your creativity choices.
Good luck with the series, and I'll be seeing the next episode of the series>
Oh and it wouldn't be a bad idea to number your movies, I couldn't tell which one was which until I saw the submission date of the movie.

"Good game to learn how to type fast"

submission: The Key Master

date: July 4, 2008

I like this game how it looks like a shooting and plays like a typing game. It's quite a unique idea actually, I haven't seen it done before. Although ti was challenging to type really fast and catch up with the incoming monsters at the Grandmaster level, I had trouble sometimes looking at the words when it was covered by an item or a neighboring goblin, but it's probably just me not typing fast enough to get rid of it in the first place. I think this game can be made harder by including other typing characters, numbers and Capitals, but that would just be too hard. The point is to keep it simple and fun right? I think it achieved that.
