You know, it was pretty funny, but I think your video belongs on youtube, not newgrounds.

"Well, it's a maze"

submission: Amazda_24th June

date: June 24, 2008

I completed the maze at least. But there really isn't much to the whole package. No sound, no animations, no BG. Silent black and white is incredibly dull. But I will give you this, the programming was correct. I didn't fly my squares over any of the walls or dissapear so congrats on that.

Mazes aren't bad, but if you're gonna do a maze a day, spice it up. Draw the user in with a flashier game. If it's a maze, make a Maze + 1.

Score: 10

"You sir, deserve a medal of some kind."

submission: Awesome Gaiden

date: June 20, 2008

Aside for the fact that I haven't laughed that hard at ANYTHING in months, you animation and sound are incredible. Plus your comedic style and timing are flawless. To give this anything lower then a 10 would be a crime punishable by extreme beatings.

Score: 10

"Well Well"

submission: Owls

date: June 18, 2008

Yes, the animation was good and the concept was funny, but where you really won me over was in the SOUND. My god, that was some of the greatest sound work I've heard in a flash video for a LONG time. Kudos to you sir. Plus the video looped perfectly.

Score: 2

"SPRITES!"

submission: SuperXero Battle Royale 1

date: June 17, 2008

I want you to know... that I hate sprites. I hate them SOOOOOOO much. Yet despite my grand and probably illogical bias, I tried to rate your video from a neutral stance.

First thing's first. Great intro screen. It was dynamic, gave proper credit where credit was due, showed your skill in vector art, and perked my interest. There you have my respect.

I don't know much about sprites. As you can understand I don't go out of my way to look for them. From what I could see though, you added some unique twists to the bitmaps. Whether the original sprites were unique to you or not I can't tell. But I didn't recognize any of the characters so you've definitely showed some skill over every other sprite video that leeches off other people's sprites.

The biggest thing I noticed was your cinematography. I was thrilled to see so much panning, scoping, and dynamics in the camera. It really showed that you took a lot of time on this and payed special attention to camera position in order to emphasize the mood. And considering there isn't that much you can do with a camera in flash or any other 2D animation software. That is saying a lot.

So where is this rant going? What am I trying to say here? Well, to reiterate, I loathe sprites beyond all rational thought. But I have to give credit where credit is due... You have my five sir. A grand score to help your ratings in the future. But in this review I can only bring myself to give you a two. I can only hope that its diminutive value will motivate you to break out of your pixelated shell and step into a world of vectors where a man of your talent can surely shine.

Good luck to you sir and I hope too see more from you.

I love these types of films but I can only save my decent votes for vector based animation in flash.

Score: 9

"You win my vote sir."

submission: Complimentary (clay)

date: June 7, 2008

The animation in this video was very smooth. You have a lot of skill with claymation. The concept was great, the content was more then entertaining, and you have a perfect ending for it. Plus, your title for it suited the video perfectly.

The only reason I won't give you a ten is because of your song choice. Yeah it's a good song, but it didn't seem to represent the message or the content of the video. But don't fret, you sure as hell have my five.

Score: 10

"Good job sir"

submission: Everything's Ok

date: May 25, 2008

With minimal animation but detailed illustrations you have created a piece that speaks out in many different ways. To me it can signify how we are all trying to avoid death, and we fight it for as long as we can but there eventually comes a time were we just accept it and it is for the better. Depressing yes. But to me it could also mean taking a step forward in life. As much as we may hate change in our lives there really is no fighting it. But it this characters instance, letting some one else make that step for you can be the biggest mistake of your life.

Then again it could also be a silly cartoon with a tragic BG song... what do I know.

In either case, a damn good submission.

Score: 8

"I gave you a 5..."

submission: d'Gang Short

date: May 13, 2008

Why? Because of the voice acting. There are so many videos out there that have some pretty decent animations but then I have to turn them off half way through because I can't stand the voices. They seemed controlled, rehearsed, and well balanced. For that, I thank you.

Other then that the art style was good. You obviously took your time with it. The only reason I won't give you a 10 in this review however is because the animation wasn't all that difficult or interesting. Other then that, great job. I hope to see more from you.

Score: 7

"Speed it up!"

submission: Buried Alive! 2008 by EO

date: April 19, 2008

Good premise, good animations, diverse levels. But please, PLEASE speed up the game play! I understand you're giving the player time to think but it takes forever just to beat one level! I wouldn't mind having a music track either. Rather quiet compared to what I'm used to.

Other then that I have no complaints about the game, I thought it was pretty solid. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more from you.
