"A humerously pleasant surprise"

submission: PITCHMEN

date: September 10, 2009

William shackner in a nighowl costume shouting no was priceless. Fabio as Mr. Manhattan brilliant. Willie Mays as the Comedian outstanding. This was quite a hilarious spoof, and if you think about the personality of the charcters intwine almost perfectly with those portrayed in the comic book. Except for that progressive woman. Of course if she was some how the illegitimately related to Willie Mays it wouldn't surprise me. Grand job!

"It wears on ya"

submission: Blockhead: Episode 10

date: June 30, 2009

When I first saw the Blockhead series I thought it was most idiotic thing I had ever seen. Then I went to college, and encountered numerous fools on a daily basis which in turn made viewing Blockhead incredibly entertaining as I related the idiots to Blockhead and my self and a few friends to his Concious. There has been nothing greater than experiencing the sweet release of unprejiduced stupidity that only Blockhead can do which makes me laugh hysterically as the battle between reason and intelligence rages on against idiotic madness.

"Legendary"

submission: Sonny 2

date: April 22, 2009

Sonny is probably one of the most beuatifully made flashes of its time. The sound, music, graphics, story line, everything is nearlly flawless. The diffcullty is a healthy challenge as you can gain XP by fighting other characters instead of being doomed to fight the more difficult characters over and over again. I played the 1st Sonny for about 2 weeks and I knew that it would take quite a while for the sequel to come out due to painstaking amount of work and high quality invested into this one. As far as overall presenation Sonny is probably the best RPG of recent times Newgrounds has to offer. The creators have done a superb job once again!

"Alright"

submission: Portal Defenders

date: April 22, 2009

Pros
Its a fun game initially. The creativity is a defenite 10, and smoothness and animation is flawless. It defenitely looks like a bonus game you would see on X-Box Arcade's Castle Crashers and the game plays much like it. The boss characters are interesting and defentiely genuine which helps fuel the gamers interest in the game. The mini games were also a defenite plus as well as the medals and unlockable characters.

Cons
The idea of starting over again can be quite annoying after each death. Perhaps this is b.c. the game is relatively short and so it enhances difficulty but any casual gamer will find this frustrating and more then likely exit out. The health items at times can be incredibly random as some times you get tons while other times you'll be lucky to get 2. The simple hitting of one button and the lack of true button combos also takes an edge away from the game, but that leads to more strategic surgical melee strikes to avoid big damage. The games repetetiveness is also one of the bigger downfalls. No change of boards, the fighting concept remaining flat, and the lack of weapon diversity also will restrict interest in the game.

Overall Conclusion
Portal Defenders is a good game to play if your up for a decent challenge. The animation and game play is smooth and premium quality, but if you lack the patience you can easily lose interest after playing the game a few times. The replay value is moderate since the medals, and hidden characters are enough to keep you going. The simpleness of the fighting of the game is a bit repetetive but if you like simple fighting like games you'll probably have a blast.

Overall Rating
75/100

"WELL DONE"

submission: Castle Repercussions - B

date: April 21, 2009

Its very rare to find a story that is both well written, animated, and consistently worked on in production. Oscar Johansson exceles in all 3 categories as he integrates a different and unique tale which is filled with intriuging plot, continous improving and impressive animation, and is told in a unique way as only Johansson is capable of doing. Although the animation is stick style art, Johannson raises the bar on intricate and elegant stick style to a pinnacle that is very rarely seen in any flash. The Castle series is a work of art that at its current pace could quite possibly translate very well into a professionally animated film, or mini series. Johansson's ability to dive into character development is remarkeable and it leaves the audience captivated and always wanting more. He has yet to fail thus far in story quality and those who appericiate this work can't wait for the latest release. Excellent usage of the music, and the animation style as far as far as detail to camera angle and presentation is border line profesional. Excellent work once again I highly look forward to your latest work!

"always collect the ammo"

submission: Thing-Thing 4

date: April 20, 2009

interesting story but you might as well start over if your stuck on a higher board with a few bullets left in your weapon. You'll get over swarmed instantly by 15 guys whos gun range is so long that they can kill you while off the screen and your health isn't even legit enough to compensate their numbers and fire power. A little changes here and there should make this game a bit better though.

"Good Game"

submission: Pandemic II

date: July 19, 2008

It's ironic how man is so greatly fascinated and intrigued by so much death and chaos. Perhaps it is the thirst for this influx of power that draws us like a moth to this flame. Nonetheless good performance! On a serious note perhaps you could create simulations related in this field and submit it to the CDC, WHO, and any other major health organization. You don't have to necessarily be strong with sciences but what you do would be great for public health! And If I'm not mistaken such positions pay quite well. Anyways great game!

"Great Work"

submission: Intruder Returns

date: July 19, 2008

I was impressed with the high amount of detail present and articulation of the movement of the characters. Most artist fail to synchronize strong fluid movement with this style of character design since it requires so much time and energy to make the simplest of movements look well. Although most good movement based films are stick figures or crudely drawn animations I must say that I was pleased with your actions. I know it must have been very difficult doing so much repetetive drawing and puting in so much detail within each animated movement. Good Job!

"Good Stuff Chief"

submission: Grand Theft Awesome

date: June 19, 2008

personally I think your flash was better then egoraptors, simply b/c your style was hilarious. The voices were good the scenes were good and the relevance above par. Its good to see someone was able to make a good parody flash of this dang game!

Score: 6

"not bad for the 1st try"

submission: Akuma

date: May 12, 2008

The sound job needs to be fixed a bit, the voice overs can barely be heard, the animation for a 1st time job was pretty good but overall much work can still be done. There wasn't any truly animated fighting, to test how good you are with character fluidity and flow. As far as the story goes. Supernatural angel vs demon thing is probably the most overplayed thing in animation thanks to anime, which by going by your character design influenced your drawing. So as far as story line creativity, I can't give you props on an old idea. Then again it is your 1st flash. There is a potential with your work though so its not all that bad. Of course from reading other people's post you criticized the heck out of another artist's work. Of course if you take into the length of the media, and the increased amount of detail and setting work put into the flick in addition to decent voice quality, decent character flow movement, and the fact that the physcial combat scenes actually move together as one. This blows your attempts out of the water. Oh and their story line is much more creative then the way depicted thus far in your film. Due to the complexities of the plot and the themes the flash movie represnets. your film is good enough not to be banned though. It will be interesting to see how your next effort will be.
