[Mario:Vs Bowser]

Ya Got Skills...

Well the animation with the fight scenes were amazing for a sprite based flash. The music was chosen pretty well and the sound effects were down to a T. That's all I can really say about this though. You have the skills, you just need a storyline. Something more original if you will. I'm not saying this is bad, believe me it's not, it's just the same old same old, and it didn't really have an ending either. Check out the Writing Forum here on Newgrounds or find a writer to write a Mario based story for you.

[T E T R I S ' D 3]

Stickman vs. LEGOs

Your artwork is great. Showcasing the Tetris Blocks well and giving minimal character to your stick figure. It's not much, but then again there really isn't much to do. The animation is superb giving emotion to the stick figure that is conveyed well, the movement of the flying Tetris blocks and the fighting were all done well. The music is masterful, truly a delight to the ears, but really wasn't a fit for this flash, and that is mainly due to the storyline. The story is pretty much boring and I hope that this is the end of the TETRIS'D series, if you keep it going you're pretty much going to ruin it. It wasn't a bad story, but coming off of TETRIS'D 1 and 2 it strays away from being about Tetris to being about robots being built out of Tetris blocks, which seems more like a stickman battling LEGOs story than it does Tetris. You have pretty much rehashed the first movie, gave more emphasis on the action parts of the Tetris block robots and sent it back to us. Not bad innovation, just boring.

[The Proper Way]

Goldfish

The artwork is good, nothing spectacular, but good. The animation isn't half bad either, but could certainly be better, I think if you had worked on this for longer than 12 hours you could've had something flowing a bit more smoother. The storyline however if freaking random and quite funny, then again parodying Yu-Gi-Oh, I guess that's expected. I was laughing while watching this, but then the ending came and blew my fucking mind. I'm not sure what just happened, but I think I liked it. The voice acting was actually very well done and I give kudos to Paul Williams for it.

[Beer Run!]

B - Double E - Double R - U - N

The artwork is great, just the same as any other Cyanide and Happiness cartoon. The animation however is quite superb, giving what I see as real movements to these basic cartoon characters. The story is basic, but given some interesting turn of events which ultimately leads to a twist ending that is hilarious! Don't ge me wrong the rest of the flash was hilarious, but the ending really does it. The sound is masterful in this one, no complaints here, everything is certainly on the up and up. The music, well there really isn't any besides the liquor store and the house party... but those are actually great, but remember other than those there really isn't anything else. The voice acting is quite superb, but the drunk acting could've been portrayed better... believe me I know what drunk actually sounds like. However this is certainly a funny flash movie.

["Snowfall"]

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

The artwork was quite masterful to be honest. Capturing the expressions of the little boy as well as the cute forest animals, I think what did it for me was the way you presented the wintery forest of the blanket covered pines. I know this might be going a bit too far, but your artwork in this reminds me of the art in the legendary "Calvin & Hobbes" comic strips. The animation is also masterful giving emotion with each and every move. It is sad that there is no sound in this, but that would take away from the beautiful music choice you made... it fit the flash movie. The concept of this is pretty basic, snow apocalypse or the lesser effects of an avalance, basic stuff, but you gave it a more wacky side which goes back to the classic "Looney Tunes" cartoons. Overall this is a delightful flash movie that I would love to see again and again and again.

[New Super Mario World 1]

One Of The Best Mario Parodies Out There Today

First off, what artwork is here is actually quite good. The animation is great with each character moving well, but probably could've been a little bit better at some moments. The sound is superb, not really much to complain about here. The voice acting is great, but nothing big. The storyline though is hilarious! I honestly did not expect this flash to be this long though. Mario trying to get through the goal was an excellent concept and the way you presented it was done very well. I would also like to add that before I even watched the movie I think I spent 5-6 minutes just playing around and watching the preloader, you know how to make the small trivial things fun don't you. Even the credits were fun, no interaction, but still fun. Although not the most appealing sprite movie out there, the deliverance in presentation more than makes up for it. I commend you good sir and give you an A.

[Comments Appreciated]

Hilarious!

The artwork was great, the animation quite superb to be honest. The sound choices that were made were superb. However the storyline is what is so damn funny. I know what it feels like waiting and waiting for a comment or at least a rating. It was so funny seeing this guy go through all of this and the only comment he gets is a "first" comment. Overall it was certainly a delightfully funny flash movie.
Kudos to you good sir, kudos to you!

[The Legend Of Shad]

Fun and Enjoyable!

Well this certainly was quite fun I must say. The artwork and animation are both quite great... it kind of reminds me of Another Day, but with just little something special missing from it. The sound is superb, from music choices to sound effects. The story is... um... well, it is fun to say the least. It makes sense, but at the same time it doesn't. I honestly can't wait to see more of this legendary tale.

[Edible Castle #9]

William Shakespeare Eat Your Heart Out

The artwork and animation are superb. The voice acting and sound are masterful. The story is not really all around basic plots... this plot is actually something more original, but not completely. The people of Edible Castle decide to put on a play, however it goes totally wrong, but nothing is recovered at the end. I did love the ending... I was laughing my ass off. Overall this episode was good and it's funny how episode 10 was stolen.
