"A collab that's actually funny!"

submission: Sonic Shorts: Volume 1

date: May 18, 2008

Wow, usually you see collabs that show off serious skills, but the actual content is lackluster. This collab, however, was actually funny from start to finish, not a weak spot in the whole thing. The animation quality was top notch also, what I'd expect from a collab of love.

Overall, some of the best newgrounds has to offer. I can't give any negative criticism on it. Fantastic job guys.

Score: 4

"Definitely a newbie movie"

submission: Starfox Randomness

date: April 2, 2008

Hey, good to see you had the courage to post something on newgrounds. This site can be really intimidating for newer people, but I can say that this is a good beginner's effort.

The lack of experience and Flash know how is definitely apparent, but the more technical things like smooth backgrounds and less jilted animation are going to get better the more you work with it. The important thing is that you have the basic skill.

The character drawings are actually not too bad and you didn't swear a million freaking times throughout the movie, a nice change of pace from most of the new guys at newgrounds. I'm confident you'll get a lot better really quickly and you're one of the new guys that really should take that extra step and learn some more flash. You have some talent that has yet to be realized.

When it comes to the comedy, well, that's in the eye of the beholder. I'd probably get a couple of friends to watch it first before proclaiming that it's funny. When you say that it's funny, it better be damn funny or people will tear you apart for saying that.

I also wanted to make a quick comment about the Arwing scene. instead of just throwing pictures up there like Robotnik and Hillary, try doing some basic editing and cut characters out of the white background stuff, it looks so unprofessional the way it is. Also, the joke may have been funnier if you had made a Hillary/Andross hybrid instead of just stretching out a pic of hillary on the screen.

This is definitely far from the worst I've seen when it comes to newbies and I feel you'll get a lot better really quickly if you take the time to learn more about Flash. There's a basic talent there and I hope to see more stuff from you in the future.

"Very impressive!"

submission: NiN10Doh!

date: April 2, 2008

This is why collabs are so fun to watch. It's like sampling the talent of Newgrounds in one handy Flash package. I've got to say that the jokes are pretty hit and miss, though that's expected with a collab. The funniest thing I saw was the megaman joke from clicking on the right Wii chicks breasts.

What really made this amazing was the incredible animation quality. The jokes may not have been the best, but the incredible quality of the animation really shows you poured your hearts and souls into this collab. It's really hard to find this level of quality stay consistent through an entire video on Newgrounds. Fantastic work.

This was a really visually impressive movie and was one of the most technically sound pieces on Newgrounds. This would have been probably THE best flash on Newgrounds with better jokes. Keep up the amazing work everyone!

"Very fun, but so graphic heavy"

submission: SC Guitar Maniac Dx 2

date: March 23, 2008

It's a great game that brings a new spin on the guitar hero-esque style of game. Instead of a Frets on Fire style F1-F5 design or simple DDR Flash arrow key combos, it's a combination of the ASD keys and arrow keys. Very inventive and fun. The guitar unlockables are also a great reason to strive for perfection.

My only gripe about this game is the graphic heavy nature of it. All the bells and whistles are nice and all and do add to the experience, but you desparately need a quality toggle in there. I run a slower laptop, so when I get into the Rockin' multiplier and that big red pulsating circle comes up on held notes, the game lags horribly and I end up missing up to five notes because of it. It makes getting a perfect an impossibility for me.

I'd also like to hear some higher production quality tracks, but that's just a very minor problem since the songs are all fantastic. Nice touch with the NESkimos.

Again, please just put in a quality toggle or an option to turn off a few things here and there like the pulsating circles, the stickman, the exploding stickman thing when you hit a note, things that aren't necessary . Without it, the game can be considered somewhat broken.

"Not bad, but can improve"

submission: Naruto Challenge

date: April 9, 2006

Let me start out by saying I'm not familiar with the Naruto series, so maybe some of the jokes went over my head. However, I did think that ramen coupon part was pretty funny. The fight scenes were pretty entertaining and were quick.

However, I have to put my foot down on the spelling. It was horrible! I apologize if English is your second language, but putting the script into Word and using spell check can help immensely. Also, the sound was a little iffy in parts.

Despite the spelling errors and my personal lack of Naruto understanding, I still enjoyed this flash. Great job!

BTW, did he defeat those ninjas by turning into a naked woman? Anime sure is weird....

"Funzors"

submission: The Ultimate Showdown

date: April 9, 2006

Me and my friends are still singing this thing. The song is a brilliant comedy song and probably named everything I held dear as a child. The animation was still really good, too. You could have easily did a cop out and used some google images instead of drawing it, but you did it the hard way and it paid off.

Congrats on your success. You deserve it.

Score: 8

"Great song, above average flash"

submission: -Go Away-

date: April 8, 2006

I really did enjoy this flash and I agree with the song completely (especially Tom Cruise, who must have done his own stunts to get that stupid), but it wasn't the best thing ever. That belongs to Ultimate Showdown. Still, this is right up in the top three. Great job!

Score: 7

"Megaman returns...again"

submission: Megaman X vs Allstars 3

date: April 8, 2006

This was a good Megaman flash, but not exactly revolutionary. I thought the way you used megaman's upgrades was clever and you did good work with the animations, but the sound was below average (especially those sounds with Fox McCloud). Overall, a pretty solid package, but nothing amazing.

Score: 10

"An Achievement of Flash"

submission: Shoo Fly

date: April 8, 2006

Wow, this is an amazing piece of work. I can't say anything negative about it. It's smooth, stylish, colorful, funny, and definitely some of the best animation ever to grace Newgrounds. I'd like to thank you for letting me see this beautiful piece of work.

Score: 9

"Unlike anything I've seen before"

submission: Stick Vs Human 2

date: March 11, 2005

Damn, this pretty good. I love it. A clash between man and crappy animation. A chance to blam in real time. Very original, I love it. Keep it up.
