"Kudos."

submission: 1KB Game: Tunnel escape

date: October 1, 2008

I'll admit it; I clicked it because I wanted to find an awful, awful submission. Instead, I found this. Well done on squeezing this into 1KB. The game itself is strangely addictive, considering what it is, but that's what makes it so good. That, and the sense of disbelief at the filesize.

Score: 3

"If this is funny, my father is a goat."

submission: Timmy's On Fire 2

date: June 4, 2008

First off, my father is not a goat, therefore this is not funny. No plot, just a ridiculous, rather childish piece that bored the hell out of me. People on fire are not funny by themselves; there has to be something else happening too. Simplicity is not always the best policy, as it's so simple that it forgets to be funny. Well animated, though.

Score: 0

"If you're in a relationship, I'm Bob Geldof."

submission: How to get girls

date: May 18, 2008

Of course I'm not Bob Geldof. You are obviously some kind of socially retarded grunt who has no idea how to treat girls whatsoever. The comments regarding ugliness and weight issues were appalling, and to be quite frank, none of your so-called gems of wisdom would work; if you treat someone mean, you get slapped. If you steal a girl's bag, you get slapped. If you are Kamran Sankey, you have already been slapped by a plethora of girls.

The humour in this was about as funny as a burning nursing home, and the grammar is appalling beyond belief. I'm 18, and I find this retarded, as will all 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 year olds.

Finally, the animation itself was not an animation. Poorly typed text, stick figures and buttons do not constitute to an animation. One thousand llamas in one thousand isolated rooms will know more than you do about relationships and 'ways to pick up chicks'. Come back here once you've grown up, pee-wee.

Score: 6

"One of the best? Don't think so."

submission: Honey Roasted Peanuts 3

date: May 5, 2008

It was well animated, but the same half-dozen set of movements were just repeated in time with the song until the end. Also, I fail to see how an animation without any plot whatsoever can be ranked so highly on NG. Perhaps it has something to do with the word 'Clock'...

...all in all, it was good, but not worthy of its position right now.

Score: 8

"Really enjoyed that!"

submission: Abortion 01 - Proper

date: May 5, 2008

Nice, clean animation, good lip-syncing and amused me. Can't ask for much more, really. Well done.

Score: 9

"Fantastic..."

submission: Neo v Smith

date: May 1, 2008

Great animation, fluid throughout - to be honest, I didn't notice any of the sound effect 'flaws' or oversights, as I was too focused on what was some fantastic, smooth fight scenes. Also, the fool below me is indeed a fool; the colour scheme fitted in with the Matrix theme, whereas pink, red or blue just would not.

All in all, superbly done. Kudos.

Score: 6

"Good animation, but..."

submission: The Square Collaberation

date: April 26, 2008

...great animations have a sense of plot or story: instead, this comes across like an excuse to demonstrate your various Flash talents. However, a well-written and well-animated story would be far better. Still, the animation itself was good, even in some parts brilliant. I'd encourage you to make an animation with some form of plot, as you (and the others) obviously have the skills to do so.

Keep up the good work!

Score: 7

"I actually enjoyed this!"

submission: WW III

date: April 18, 2008

Okay, so admittedly, there was very little animation involved, but I did laugh at a lot of the written captions, which were both amusing and, in many cases, accurate observations of stereotypes. Well done on the humour side, but it could do with a little more work on the animation side of things.

Also, ignore complete idiots like sanguisdex. I'm from Britain and I wasn't offended by any of it - in fact, I believe that with such broad stereotypes, you'd either have to be old or incredibly pedantic (and a bit of a prat) to find something like that offensive. Good work.

Score: 2

"Just because it's Trek, doesn't make it good."

submission: The New Future: Episode 1

date: April 2, 2008

Basically, you've just used Star Trek as a vessel here for drug-related, profanity-spewing cheap shots, with little real humour in there. Also, what the hell is with the word 'fuck' at random intervals? Do your fingers have Tourettes, or are you just stunted in terms of your vocabulary?

The animation itself, humour aside, was below average. Half-decent, slightly lazy drawings, not much movement, etc. However, the voices were alright and well-synced. Just try and develop your humour to something that all users of this site, not just the fourteen-year-old Canadians, can enjoy and laugh at. Good luck.

Score: 7

"Fantastic for a first attempt!"

submission: Space Fart

date: April 1, 2008

First off, ignore the last reviewer; it was not disturbing, it was merely rather surreal, and surreal scenarios are usually amusing (at least to me). Great animating style, solid voice acting, and a generally funny plot. Just needs a little work on the syncing (stress, a little: I know from experience just how hard it is).

Overall, that was surprisingly good; refreshing to see a newbie putting effort into a first animation! Well done, and I can't wait to see the next one you produce...
