[A Totally Random Day]

It's different.

It wasn't that bad. I kind of liked the "non-violent" idea of it. (Just because it's different, you know?) The storyline wasn't great, and that was a kind of weird way to end it, but I guess it was okay.

Also, the action was very slow. Mostly when they're fighting with pipes and stuff. Everything was pretty good, though. It was a smooth animation, in my opinion.

But yeah, like DaronK said, it dragged on a bit and was too slow. (Meaning it didn't have enough action, NOT that it was lagging.) Also, you might want to develop a bit more of a storyline. Either that, or have no storyline at all.

So keep trying. That was pretty good, but could've been much better.

Crazymonkey154 responds:

True, this IS different. However, this actually had no true storyline to tell the truth. Glad you liked it.

[Madness Portal Short]

Awesome.

That was really short, and really funny. I've always been a big fan of portal animations and madness animations, so this was a good combination. If you make the full version I'll be happy.

I gave it a kinda low score just because it was over so fast. BUT. For the length it was, you did totally awesome. I loved how fast the guy was flying through the portals (or falling, or whatever), and the ending was pretty unexpected.

Keep up the good work! I hope to see more from you!

As long as I make people happy, from the small measily life I seem to have been given.........I think I can live through it. Cheers!

[Super Mario Invaded]

You got me hooked.

I won't say it was the best thing on the planet. It wasn't. It was pretty short, didn't have much action, and not too much of the storyline was revealed. BUT, I still liked it. I haven't seen too many animations with NES sprites, so that's a bit unique. Also, although I know it might ruin the feel a bit, I would suggest putting some better music into it sometimes. I know, I know. You don't have to if you really don't want to.

Even though the storyline didn't seem too great, I still really liked this. It seemed sort of unprofessional, and yet professional at the same time. It's kinda weird. :P

Personally, I thought the speech bubbles weren't too bad the way they were. But If you wanted to change them, that would be fine too.

Also, you mmight want to make a replay button, and maybe some sort of menu (although it's not necessary). If you don't know much actionscript, toss me a PM or something.

Anyway, good luck, and I hope to see more from you!

sleeeeep responds:

Yeah i should have put more story into it but i swear the 2nd will make up for that and be much longer. The music im trying to stay more towards new songs. i did some searching and found a buttload of 8-bit songs for part 2 to keep the nes feel to it. I sent ya a message as well for the menus.
thanks for the review

Odd.

That wasn't too bad. It was kind of weird though. The talking didn't completely go with the text, but that's alright. I really don't know what else to say about this animation. It was a bit short, but seemed a bit too long for what it was.

Try adding some background, or maybe adding a bit more detail to the characters. Overall, I think it was okay, but not great. I dunno. Keep trying. Maybe it just isn't my style. :P

oldlyshapedchris responds:

ok
alot of peaople liked it so i guess its your stye!!

[Golden Crystal]

Neat.

That was cool, though a bit short. You're a good animator, and everything was relatively smooth. The floors and stuff didn't look that great, but that's okay. Also, you used great sound effects and great music. You might want to put in a play button. Also, the back button didn't work.

The golden crystal didn't really seem to have much play in the animation, other than that some guys were protecting it or something.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

[pokemon revamp]

I liked it, but it's much too short.

What you have there is like an intro. I liked it, but it needs a lot more. But other than the shortness, the music was good, the sprites were relatively well animated, and everything looked pretty cool.

The quality of the music was a bit odd (I could hear little crackling sounds in it), but nothing too bad. The pokéball sprite at the end had a bit of white around it, but that's not too important either.

Other than that, I don't have much else to complain about, especially considering it was so short. Just make something longer next time. :)

[Sonic charas sing for you]

It's not too bad.

You drew the characters well. I like the song, and the ending gave me a little laugh. Change the music to streaming if it's on event. Then it should go with the animation. Hope I helped. :)

kalmathehedgehog responds:

Ok I did what you said, but then the music stopped at the second scene. Is there a way to fix that too? xD

[The Yin Yang Sword 3 Pt 2]

Not bad.

A lot of it did seem a bit slow, and it would've been better with voices, but overall it was pretty good. Although I don't quite understand the storyline, at least you have one. The fighting was decent, and it looked like a good amount of work went into the details on the pictures. This isn't really one of my favorite stick figure series, but it looks like you tried really hard.

You chose good music, in my opinion, and the sound effects were pretty good, although there could've been more. I like the characters you developed, and everything was pretty good.

Keep up the good work. ;)

[Clever Girl]

For your first creation, not bad.

This was okay, especially for a first animation, but there are still a few things you should learn. First of all, it was a bit too slow. When Mario was setting down the bullet bill shooter and loading it, for example. That should be at least twice as fast, in my opinion. Then again, considering you were using a sound clip that you didn't know how to edit, I suppose it had to be that long. But still, you could've had some more things happening before the attack rather than just making things take a long time.

You did a good job with the background, making it go slower than the rest, you did a fine job animating the sprites, and overall this was a good animation, especially for your first. Nothing extremely special, but you did a good job. I would improve the sound quality (only a bit, not so much that it takes an hour to load), but I'm assuming you don't know how to do that either. Well, I guess that's it. Keep trying. You've done good so far!
