"Awesome"

submission: Black Sheep Acres

date: October 26, 2006

I didn't get to play the beta all that much, and I can't really give this game a good play since I'm stuck on my laptop and the little touch-pad is QUITE inadequate for aiming and firing simultaneously.

Anyway, I can comment on how I liked the game's overall smoothness, and the graphic's cleanness. It's well put together, and I noticed you'd mentioned some other ideas you had in store for the future that I'll be sure to check out.

Seriously though, zoom difference upgrades would be cool. Consider building it into any defense-game you might make in the future.

Score: 9

"Very Clean"

submission: Amoeba

date: March 28, 2006

I found myself really enjoying this game, surprisingly. The controls are extremely clean and the learning curve is non-existant. The graphics are clean and the effects are great. The only gripe I had was with the repetitive sound track. I figure you could've upped the size just a little bit more and maybe worked in some more Audio Portal entries into the mix.

Great game! I'll be looking out for more from you in the future.

Score: 9

"Surprisingly awesome"

submission: Ltlt Ep1 Sperm of Justice

date: February 21, 2006

I was surprised, to say the least, as to the quality of this cartoon.

The drawings were awesome, humor was above par, and all-around quality un-matched. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future, and will probably end up gazing upon your past works as well.

Score: 8

"It was good, but"

submission: Sonic'sQuestForPower3(P1)

date: August 27, 2005

I get the feeling that the reason it is so big in filesize is because you don't really know how to optimise that well. Lower the quality of the sounds you put in there, and make sure they're all in mp3 format, for when flash exports that'll allow them to reduce the filesize and optimize it better.

Good flash though, I liked how you times everything, and you sure got the action parts of it down pat. I'm looking forward to completing it in the other two parts, but I do think if you had optimized this well enough you'd have had no problem fitting all three parts into one flash. You might have gone slightly over, but if that was the case a quick email fired over to Wade or Tom would've probably been able to fix that.

Good luck in your future animations and flashes, and good work on this current one. It can only get better and better, and I enjoyed the mixing of sprites with animation, and different Sonic aspects with other aspects of other video games and TV shows. Well done.

Score: 9

"NOIIIIICE!"

submission: Sonic Matrixa Finale 2/3

date: July 3, 2005

Sweet job on the movie. A couple of things I noticed put it over the edge from quality to extremity:
-Graphical Effects; they were all done very well, the fades to the next scene, animating the sprites so they looked like they were doing things in a non-sprite-like way without making it look crappy, all those little graphical details didn't go to waste. Looked awesome.
-Sound; it was just perfect. The music wasn't inhibitive to the voices, and the voiceovers were almost exactly what I would picture each of the characters to sound like. Well done there.
-Subtle humor; I found some parts of it hilarious. Reading the ticker in the background of the arena was just awesome. I definitely laughed out loud at a couple of the things you had written there, well done on that aspect.

Other than those though, there were a few things I would have changed about the movie. First of all, I would have had Tails speak a little more or at least say something in the scene in the arena where Sonic and... the Red guy talk each other up for a fight. Secondly, I'd have to say that Sonic could have used a blur effect when he ran, afterall, he is THE Sonic.

Other than that, no complaints. A well done flash that I'm glad to see featured on the front page. :-)

Score: 9

"Excellent"

submission: MGS 3: Crab Battle

date: June 24, 2005

I loved it. The entire thing was well done, and for some reason I really enjoyed the intro for your studio name or whatever.

Animation was well done, except I noticed the way the arms and legs were done. It didn't really fit all that well, and hurt my impression of the quality of your animation. I would work on making the arms look more connected to the body if you can, the seams were very apparrent.

The humor was all there. The entire concept was hilarious, I laughed or maintained a grin through the entire movie. It was really set off with "I've encountered some sort of cave demon."

Interactivity is a moot point, of course, since this is a movie. Incredibly violent, and also hilarious that the crab beat Snake (great animation on the popped out eye, by the way).

Overall a solid movie. I'd just work on those arms for next time. They really hurt your graphics and style points. Oh yea, the sound quality was superb, and I liked how you had the random kid in there who hacked the frequency.

Well done.

Score: 10

"Epic"

submission: Xombie: Chapter 6

date: June 24, 2005

Wow. They get better every single time. It's amazing to see the progression in the animation, timing, plot, audio sync'ing, audio choice, and technical prowess each time a new one of these it released. Needless to say, I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Musical choice was superb. The music in the beginning which played RIGHT when the movie finished loading was a cool touch. The ending credits music was awesome.

You seem to have fully mastered the chapter concept though, as I've noticed with this and most of your newer movies you end each chapter with a cliffhanger to keep everyone excited and anxiously awaiting the next chapter. That's smart storywriting.

Animation was AWESOME. I loved the effects in this movie, and sat and watched Nephthys's hair flowing in the wind during the entire preloading period. It looked good, combined with your graphical intensity and increased understanding of how to animate moving mouths during speech.

The little humor quips also added to the movie in a big way. I cracked a smile when he said "pretty cryptic for a can opener." I do think though that you should have made him say out "I've never seen him before in my afterlife", because the usage or before and after right next to each other would have been amusing to people as humor-lame as I.

In conclusion: awesome job, great effort, and I'm looking forward to the rest of 'em.

Score: 9

"Great stuff"

submission: The Amazing Adam Android

date: March 27, 2005

I loved it, Max. You're stuff has really impressed me, although unfortunately I wasn't around to protect this as it just entered the portal. Oh well, either way this was another awesome flash work.

Graphics were superb, and you are definitely right about your ability to match the voice acting up with the lip's movement perfectly. Good job on that.

You should really bug Adam more about paying you. :-)

Score: 7

"I thought it was good"

submission: Flash picture slideshow

date: January 9, 2005

I thought your drawings were pretty cool. I especially liked the dragons you drew. The only thing is, here on Newgrounds slide shows just don't do well. Sure, I gave you a good score that I felt reflected your work, but in most cases if things don't move around people will just zero it.

So here's what I would suggest: Keep drawing that way, but find some way to incorperate it into a simple game. Come up with a simple but cool concept, and then use your incredible drawing skills to make it look awesome. You could even jump on the bandwagon of quickly made "dating sims" that Klacid seems to be all about. Only you would be making your own graphics, so the game wouldn't feel as though everything had to be warped around the random pictures found on Google.

At any rate, I enjoyed it. You are a talented drawer, so keep up the good work!

Score: 10

"Great Satire!"

submission: Kanzeni Marin Nitsuite

date: January 8, 2005

I loved it. I watched I think when it was under judgement a week ago, saw it, and loved it. I thought your whole style was great, and the hilarity for this flash was found in its satire towards the anime style of animation.

Great work with the drawings, and equally excellent work on the sounds. I swear every single thing had a sound effect, and every scene had completely perfect and fitting music to go with it. Violence was perfect, and the complete absurdity made this flash highly worthwhile for me to watch.

Thanks for the entertainment, I can't wait to see more from you in the future.
