"Superb animation, subpar interaction."

submission: Flandrium

date: April 18, 2009

Yeah: The pictures and visuals were splendid! Short, but very bold. I enjoyed the 'Flandrium' construction a lot.

However, you're missing a loading bar, which REALLY hurts the first impression. Impatient viewers can and will auto-blam that kind of thing, especially those with slower computers. That is the flash's major fault and should be remedied ASAP.

Also, you should have the URL to your audio actually link to your audio page at the end there. Just a small suggestion for smoothness and efficacy. Have it open a new tab on the viewer's browser.

"Absolutely stunning."

submission: Evolution -BK

date: March 1, 2005

Like other reviewers have said: what a rare treat.

And it's true. Newgounds is known for its somewhat violent and controversial side, but every once in a while you get something beautiful and simple like this. The music was an amazing choice. The simple rotating graphics were so soothing and set the mood perfectly.

I really enjoyed it. It's been so long since I've seen a flash that relaxed and touched my like this one. Even the credits had a tone of sincerity and grace in them.

I wont bother trying to interpret it. Like any good song or poem, the individual perceptions can be endless.

Anyway, your work enchanted me so much that you got my top vote for the February Cash Prize. I wish you the best of luck.

"That was fun."

submission: Marble Down

date: December 13, 2004

Wow. That was really simple, but it was entertaining.
At first I thought it was way too easy. But as things sped up, it got sort of intense. I was just keeping the ball around the middle and sort of flitting back and forth, because most of the holes are near the middle. But when there was one near the edge I was all, "OH GOD!"

Very fun for such a simple game. Good job =D

Score: 5

"Good graphics, but that's about it."

submission: Qrip

date: November 25, 2004

It was well animated, I must say.
But the storyline was just too dry. It was beyond cliché.
The voice acting was quite uninspired and poorly written. The characters showed almost no emotion, or an over-exaggerated one. The guy was like "TURRRNNER! - so, blah. Blah blah." Really tacky.

With your animation skills, I bet you could do something really nice with a good script.

Not bad.

Score: 4

"Mediocre."

submission: Not Enough

date: September 26, 2004

It's better than a lot of stuff that gets submitted though. I believe it'll make it through. With more effort (I mean a lot more) put into the graphics, then it might be a hit.

Oh, and long live OLP!

"Good message."

submission: Could u?

date: September 9, 2004

It's been done, but not that I've seen on NG. For a site that promotes and embraces violent humour, I like how you used the example of violence to express your views on bullying/ suicide and it truly does affect many people. I'd bet there's a lot of users on NG that could relate to this.

Score: 7

"Not bad."

submission: The Great Eggscape SE

date: August 25, 2004

It was long, I liked that. It kept going and going, and he kept killing eggs the entire time. While the main action wasn't entirely interesting, the setting and plot were. He killed eggs in a variety of ways so it didn't get too repetitive either. The music went well with the scenes and complemented the action.

The graphics weren't even close to great, but you obviously saved a lot of time by not concerning yourself with them. It doesn't take away from the movie at all.

Score: 9

"Spectacular."

submission: Armageggon

date: August 23, 2004

A wonderful short! Strangley original, and about as simple as you can get. I can tell it took a lot of effort and time to create the minute or two of eggish doom, but it was well worth it! Bravo! You get 8 points!

Score: 10

"Beautiful."

submission: NG Tournament: Semi's 2

date: August 5, 2004

This concept is awesome. Extremely well done; the dramatics and cinematic effects are bang on! The dialouge did slow it down a bit, but everything else overrides that minor setback. The previous two episodes rocked, this one was no exception. The final fight will be much anticipated and if the climax satisfies what the series has been building up to... I think it'll sweep the Portal awards :).

Bravo!

Score: 8

"Great Googly Moogly!"

submission: Avoiding Blamnation (HNT)

date: July 30, 2004

I like, I like. As past reviewers noted: this flash is quite helpful, and new users would benefit from it for *sure*. It's all true, all of the tips! Not to mention the funnyness of it all. Some people just don't seem to realize how submit stuff that is NG-worthy. This, amongst other high quality 'tutorial' flashes should have their own front page and/or portal link, preferrably near the SUBMIT button.

Bravo.
