"Hmm"

You coulda got a five if only you hadn't been lazy and skipped the music credits. I mean, I'm lazy too, but really, you've used someone else's music, may as well credit them, especially if it's something I want to download but can't because I don't know what it is.

You should be ashamed >:-(

"Good but..."

submission: Anime Collab

date: May 25, 2006

...as usual with a collaboration, there's lots of shining talent, but it's brought down by others.

While I know work probably did go into it, Shifty55's piece looked to be entirely traced directly from Hellsing, the poses and shots were identical =(

Lots of good talent, but I feel I'd need to see individual works separately to make a proper judgement on each of them

Score: 6

"Pretty good"

submission: DoubleWide - Episode 1

date: May 18, 2006

It was quite good, I'll address each thing in turn I guess:

Graphics: Really great graphics, drawn really well, animation is solid, visual style is pretty cool.
Style: The idea itself has some potential, I'm not sure it's wholly what I'd look for but eh, if it's funny it's not a problem =)
Sound: Voice acting again is good, I'd maybe try to have all voices closer in volume, as the woman was a bit too quiet, but turning up volume to compensate makes the guy too loud. I'm a bit picky on that so I wouldn't worry too much!
Violence: My rating on this is more of a quantity, there wasn't much 'proper' violence, though a fair bit of action. The violence that was in it I definitely can't fault, amused me =)
Humour: Quite amusing, but timing needs to be worked on:

Overall: Good effort, will look out for the next episode. My thought on what to work on though is timing/delivery, it just felt to me like the cartoon was too slow, reducing the pauses and taking less time to focus on some details would be beneficial. Sped up, the jokes wouldn't have seemed so far apart so it would be more entertaining. The humour in here was good, but it only takes a fraction of a second to deliver a simple joke (e.g the pig & cheetos), so no need to draw it out, as it lessens the overall impact.

Good work, and I hope to see more soon! I've rated the previous reviewer (Gyroid) as abusive, it was certainly uneccessary, you don't deserve that so don't let it get to you!

"Good but..."

submission: Mortal PWNbat

...I feel this is trying to do too much at once? You've got a laser that the computer just owns you with, loads of balls everywhere to try and block, and power-ups all over the place.

I dunno, it's a cool game, really neat graphics and a good idea, but I think that it should be streamlined more by removing some of the elements, such as the multiple balls (I dunno, maybe I just have a fear of balls :P), as it's not really that fun to play as it could be IMO.
Or maybe have the control handled by the mouse, but then the two player doesn't work, hrm.

I mean, having the laser is enough to make it a very different game, having powerups everywhere too is just overkill on gameplay. Perhaps if the laser were a projectile rather than an instant beam, that way you can dodge it while still sending back the ball? Or have balls block the laser, because the computer kept camping behind the ball and waiting for me to move to block it before shooting chunks off my paddle.

Don't think I'm being overly critical, but these are my thoughts, cool concept, great graphics/style, but needs work to become a properly polished game. Keep up the good work though!

"Meh"

submission: Fiberglass Monkey

date: April 30, 2006

As far as lemon demon songs go, that one was pretty bad. The animation etc. was really good, but the song that made it a music video wasn't very interesting at all, after such awesome songs ebaumsworld and Ultimate Showdown, I'm afraid this one is a let-down =(

Score: 6

"Meh"

submission: P.I.C.O.

date: April 30, 2006

Feels rushed out, no sound, no ability to jump, and the first level has you against enemies with unlimited homing rockets?! It really needs to be re-released finished IMO as it shows far too much promise then didn't really deliver, sorry =(

Score: 8

"Pretty good actually"

submission: Keegan'sTruckChronicles 1

date: April 19, 2006

While the graphics weren't that great, the story was pretty cool.
My main thought though is that this would have been better as several smaller episodes, as one movie it's pretty frickin' long! But you obviously put a lot of work into it, and the action is non-stop =)

Score: 10

"Awesome, loved it"

submission: Faust - Episode 3

date: April 18, 2006

Someone's definitely watched plenty of Hellsing, the shots of the demon (his glasses, one eye visible, one blocked by reflection, and of course looking down over the glasses as well) certainly reminded me of it! Not a bad thing =)

E-Nomine of course rocks as music to it, if you can find a way to fit Mitternacht into it then you absolutely have to!

Voices however, these were fairly good, but the sound quality bothered me a little, voices could be acted a little more cleanly. But overall very solid.

Awesome work, looking forward to the next one =)

Score: 7

"Pretty cool"

submission: Video Gamerz -Episode 2-

date: April 14, 2006

A "high seven" for this. Graphics were fairly solid for a cartoon, animation was so-so. Sound was fine though some of the voices weren't particularly clear.
Movie was good overall =)

Though, wouldn't Sephiroth have just pwned Scott with his sword? None of this silly light-ball throwing nonsense =P

Score: 4

"Waste of time"

submission: Piconjo Jam #22

date: March 9, 2006

IMO this is a waste of time, not just for the majority of viewers, but for the artists as well. There's definite talent here, but it's being used to just rehash the same boring and uninspired idea, that never had any merit in the first place.

The reason Legendary Frog, and illwillpress are popular is that they have nice original ideas, their works could be far worse looking and they'd still bring humorous things to watch.

But this is just the same...EVERY TIME, and the artists working on it do themselves no justice.

The only redeeming factor really was the menu, it was stylish, bold and let me leave the moment they got boring (which for all of them was early on).

Please do yourselves a favour and try working on your own ideas, instead of encouraging this...senslessness. You claim to be 'beating down the crap', how, by spewing out even more repetitive and boring stuff? Your skills (and there definitely are some!) could be better served on original works.
