Legspin 2.0

"Fantastic, purely cinematic in it's own right!"

submission: Legspin 2.0
date: August 1, 2009

Good Points:
The detail on the leg was magnificent, I expected such detail in high costing box office films, not in a Newgrounds animation, fucking amazing. As the music started and the text appeared in sync with the music, I can honestly say my jaw and balls dropped to the floor and haven't risen since. Why you ask? Because I am still amazed by the sheer passion and verocity this flash emitted through by monitor, infact, the monitor is not big enough to handle such cinematic genius.

Bad Points:
Merely the notion of bad points in this flash is laughable, infact, I'm laughing right now, followed by a stream of tears because when I pressed the play button, my eyes began to water prefusely.

Overall:
Have you considered applying for cinematic director for every box office film to be released in the future? FOREVER?! No? You should seriously consider it.

Pleasure Island 2

""WHERES THE WALRUS PITT?""

submission: Pleasure Island 2
date: July 26, 2009

Good Points:
The animation is so smooth and fluid, the colours are a nice light shade of a range of colours and you're style is quite unique. I like how it made no sense, had no plot and no point whatsoever, all you know is that it's pleasure island, anything can happen. You could say it's quite surial.

Bad Points:
It's quite short to be honest, perhaps a few more scenes would have really made this a fantastic flash, maybe finishing the episode on a cliffhanger, so the next episode can be plot related. I think it needed more dialogue, maybe some more scenes before he runs into the arena? Those are some suggested improvements.

Overall:
Fantastic flash, very funny. If it was longer, i'd grade it an A+

Slappy Does Drugz

"Interesting..."

submission: Slappy Does Drugz
date: July 21, 2009

Good Points:
The art style was pretty cool and I liked the constant changing of colours, without the effects of epilepsy. In some sense, good little loop to use in anti-drug presentations, kinda of. The inclusion of music wasn't neccessary, but I'm glad you added it because it added humour.

Bad Points:
Pretty pointless, it's just a recurring loop and shows very little effort put towards it, for a minute there I thought this was a Davidzx flash, but then realised the art wasn't recycled symbols.

Overall:
Pretty bad to be honest, try animation the guy's face next time, maybe another keyframe?

July 21, 2009

Author's Response:

Yeah, I could have animated his face, but what can you do? This was basically a 30 minute effort. Mostly done for the lulz. Thanks anyways Lee.

NG Level Icon Maker V2

"Pretty fun tool"

date: July 17, 2009

Good Points:
I like the wide range of tools you can use this time around and what you can do with them. The ability to perfectly scale things this time round is very useful when trying to cram alot of materials into one area. The ability to unlock things makes the game almost replayable, because you can back to see what you didn't unlock and try different methods to do so.

Bad Points:
How I see it, it's the same old thing just with extra things, normally this would be fine but I figured the first one could have simply been updated. The amount of different things added does not really create much EXCITEMENT and is more or less the same old thing.

Overall:
Good game and concept, but I don't think you added enough new content to actually release it as a new game.

July 17, 2009

Author's Response:

I didn't realease it as a new game. I clearly titled it "V2", or version 2. That basically implies that it is the same sort of thing, but upgraded or changed in some way. Which it IS, certainly. There are actually a ton more options that you probably didn't even see. Even some of the old parts got new styles applied to them, and I added more new parts, paints, new styles on old part, plus bonuses to this one than there were even regular parts in the first one.

I certainly was NOT going to do all this work, and simply update the old submission with this one. This one is nearly completely different in the scope of things you can do. From saving your in-progress work, to sharing your icon to a place that others can view it. It is far more than just an "update".

Besides... after a certain number of views are reached, updating a Flash submission requires administrative review before it goes into effect. I should know... I tried updating the last one with a spelling correction when it got to around 50,000 views, and it wouldn't let me without going through that process... which wasn't worth it for a spelling change. I'm not sure they would have even let me update that old Flash submission with something completely different (which this one obviously is - different look, new tools, updated content, new method of acquiring bonuses, different songs, ability to share, etc. etc. etc.)

Luis gets Phished!

"Good animation EJR"

submission: Luis gets Phished!
date: July 12, 2009

Good Points:
I liked the art style and result despite working on it for such a short amount of time. Great lip syncing, wish I could do an ounce of lip syncing, ha.
I liked the concept, quite amusing despite it being a serious issue on the forums recently, but that's the fun!

Bad Points:
Too short, but yes I know it was a limited time. Perhaps give yourself a few days next time round, to make a truly epic Luis animation.

Overall:
Great considering the time you worked on it, keep up the good work.

The 5 Hour Collab IV

"Great collab guys."

date: June 30, 2009

Good Points:
I liked the wide range of styles is what you generally get with all collabs, but thats why I enjoy watching them. The pre-loader and menu was quality stuff, introduction to a flash is always important so people don't immediately dismiss it with bad comments. I loved the result, despite people getting over time on their parts, I guess it was necessary so the quality was of a higher quality.

Bad Points:
More parts would have been nice, but not many people are willing to work 5 hours straight, I know I was skeptical at first.

Overall:
Really good collab, great quality despite the time limit and thats what makes these collabs and the artists stand out.

Retarded Animal Babies 21

"Brilliance"

date: June 19, 2009

Good Points:
I liked the use of other animals, likes bears etc. It added a lot more variety to the series. I see you didn't skip on the filth, excellent stuff it's hilarious everytime. A lot more scenes I see have been drawn this time round, considering you usually draw the same type of background (forest, tree's, countryside landscape), its a nice chance.

Bad Points:
I honestly can't really think of anything, perhaps making it longer next time round.

Overall:
Great addition to the series, can't believe you made another addition to my favourite flash series on NG, considering I thought you were done with it.
Good job!

FRED - Animated Series

"Short but sweet."

date: June 13, 2009

Good Points:
The introduction and music were good, it really gave you a happy feeling which is what Fred 'tries to do', but really you were just luring us into a false sense of security so when Fred was shot in the face we would react shocked yet positively. Unless of course your a fan of Fred.

Bad Points:
Too short and pretty pointless, I thought it was going to be much longer considering alot of your flashes are quite longer. It seems your going quite half arsed on your recent flashes, despite the cool animation styling of your flashes, including this one, it lacked most things your previous animations offered. I reccomend starting on a long term project.

Overall:
Decent animation, pretty lousy length and pretty much a kick in your own teeth.

June 14, 2009

the whole sense of false security was the point. thanks for watching!

Cooking Sama

"Good art, simple animation."

submission: Cooking Sama
date: June 13, 2009

Good Points:
The art is very good and clean, it's a great parody of cooking mama. I myself have never played the game but I can see how this takes the piss, in a rather mature way, especially when the tentacles come in to play (saw it coming). It's rather lengthy too, the right length though, with such animation you think it's going to be alot shorter but it surprised me how longer it is. Well done.

Bad points:
It may have had good art, but it seemed to be all pre drawn graphic symbols and all the movement seemed to be tweens rather than FBF animation. I think a little more effort into the animation would have gone a long way.

Overall:
Great flash and parody, though I think FBF animation would have buffered the dents out of the car we call 'Cooking Sama'.

TANKMEN 2

"Tankmen Hilarity, oh lovely."

submission: TANKMEN 2
date: June 13, 2009

Good Points:
As usual, it's hilarious because of the voice acting, the comedy styling of all the characters and the animation. The introduction to one off characters was a great idea, this will offer alot more possibilities to future episodes. The colour styling is really unique and you know even from a third party site that this is Newgrounds.

Bad Points:
I think it needed more dialect than action because really thats what your good at Johnny, funny scripts. The whole tank chase was good, but you should have compensated that with more dialect and a longer episode, perhaps added at the beginning between the captain and the sniper.

Overall:
Hilarious flash and great addition to the Tankmen series.
