[Watch out for bombs!]

A flash that captivates the viewers.

Can you imagine a world where bombs drop onto the unsuspecting public on a whim? In this short, we are shown what could be the potentially damaging effects of what could happen. Well, not really. I don't want to spoil anything, but the ending was an example of what I call a bait ending. Definitely a funny twist, that not everyone will get or appreciate. The artwork could use some touching up. While the motions were not all that bad, the character's designs were a tad to simple and not clean cut. It shows a lot of potential, good luck.

[CS Sitcom Intro]

you must have big cock to make good flash

A sitcom with the cast of Counter Strike as the lead characters? That sounds interesting to me, I would watch it ... and I did. This intro is kind of just a tease, are you planning on making this a full-fledged series? Your look for the series is a little bit sophmoric, ie, spend some time working on the look of the characters, the backgrounds, and their general surroundings. As an example, the heads of the characters look like a basic oval tool, just not that believable. The music was nice, although I am not too sure if it fit with the tone of the movie, various characters killing eachother. Since this was an intro, I can not really expect as much as with a general episode. This shows a lot of potential, good luck.

[Walrus VS Ultimate Fighte]

oh you

When an author submits an old animation, I love it. Your animation style has improved a great deal. Flashbacks are incredibly funny, and you made some of the best yet. A drunk talking about what he did, who he met, the Russian from Rocky, and the foot print that matched. Great wrap up at the end. I really hope you start making movies like this and give your Moron series a breather. Almost perfect.

[M1 Rifle Fire]

IVE GOT THIS ICEBOX WHERE MY HEART USED TO BE

A short game that's sole purpose is to show the abilities of a rifle. It really is not a bad idea, the rifle looks quite good and definitely a stand-out in this movie. The motions of the rifle were seemingly realistic. I like the reloading aspect. I like the use of sound effect - that of the rifle going off. Maybe in future work, we could have a more finished work with characters, a more full background.

[tilt yo head collab dfgds]

yes ok why no yes ok no yes no whynot ok yes

Flashes like this don't really come around that often anymore, and it's really refreshing to see one with so much effort and time put into it. You have a collection of some brilliant graphical minds and it definitely shows. This was a very entertaining movie, not only because every scene varied from each other, but the diversity in animating and drawing styles.
The preloader and stuff were really swell. More collection of flashes wouldn't hurt. also keep yyes no om ye sono yes ok no yes why ok no yes

I found the biggest thing with this was that the background made it difficult to keep up with the ball. Which after only a few minutes I got tired of and closed it. Id suggest using something darker overall, as it was fine in the darker bits, but once it went over to the lighter section it became an effort.

Also I'd suggest removing the backup paddle from the normal and hard modes, as this really is just a trianing wheel.

Work on the graphics a bit more, the paddels and ball were very basic, same with the menu and nothing really was that visually appealing.

Also you should consider making some upgrades etc. PONG as it stands today is been milked for all its worth as a standalone game, it needs to be jazzed up incredibly to make it in todays world.

Overall it'd be a good start to the final game, but definatly needs a lot of improvement.

[Plans to Fuck Alexis 16]

Its a fucking trap, its perverted justice

Wow I have to say, this is very original! Granted, this game has a little way to go before it’s anything breathtaking, but I’m already surprised enough at the actual concept of the game. Thanks to you now we can enjoy the puzzling logic of riddles in our own homes – I can’t believe that no-one has done this before!
First off, graphics. Not too bad, but pretty bog-standard. I have to say though, I liked the cartoon style of the game, it made the game LOOK pretty when really it is supposed to be a little evil, due to the whole “is he lying?” concept. I didn’t really like the fact that the graphics were a little plain though, and at times they looked a bit MS Paint boring standard, for example you had a straight fork-road, a slight hill, grass, a mountain and that was it really. Why not add a little detail into the surroundings? You really need t bring the personality of the surrounding environment ALIVE. Put fine little blades of grass into that green, make the roads stretch away for miles in the distance, the roads could be dusty and creepy looking, a wind could blow across and the monk could stand there with a menacing look about him, rather than just standing there with an emotion-less grin. You really need to add personality into the looks of the game, to match that of the prospect you are using here, in my mind riddles always have a creepy sense about them, so you should take advantage of this and really bring it out in the flash. The other reason being there is a noticeably lack of graphics, there isn’t much thought in the surroundings and the characters are just basically developed versions of a stick figure. I got the impression that you used ready-made shape tools in Paint for most of the graphics, for example the monk’s head was just circle and completely bald, and their hands and feet were made out of plain circles and half-circles. The speech bubble of the monk talking was a cool addition, but the speech bubble already appeared before he even spoke, surely it would make more sense if you just add an animation for the speech bubble to appear when he spoke?
Next, sound. Unfortunately, I have next to nothing to say about this aspect of the flash, because there wasn’t a single sound within the game. I feel it would be fair to ask that you at least give us some background music, and if you can add sound effects of when you take the wrong path, when you talk and when the monk talks. I think that the main thing you really need to do if you make another one of these is add sound, since linked with the action of the flash what you hear AND what you see brings out the besting the game. Otherwise the action of the game feels very ‘mute’ and boring, I have to admit there were times when I forgot I was even playing this game when I minimised the window for a while.
Finally, game-play. Definitely the best aspect of the flash, but you have a little to improve next time here too. First off, I absolutely LOVE that talk bar at the bottom, It’s so original and I actually feel as if I have more control in the game! Being able to ‘virtual talk’ is a welcome addition here but it also has its limits – there were times when I thought the monk was little more than a brain dead, the AI of him wasn’t very intelligence and he said “Huh?” a lot in answer to me – even when I asked him if he was sure of his answer, obviously there’s a suggestion here. I really like this riddle style of the flash because I’m surprised it hasn’t been done before, I liked the ‘common sense’ answer at the end. I was stumped for an answer, but then when I read the solution I could have kicked myself haha. Overall, an original game, it’s just a shame it doesn’t reach as far as it could have gone. However, I loved the ‘common sense’ brain-racking style of playing this game , and I appreciate having to put as much care and logic into one game as I did with this. Well done Although I never watched it

Ryan-Smith responds:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...."Well done Although I never watched it" Thank you, I assumed you didn't watch it because this whole review is for some game that obviously is nothing like my flash at all. Thanks anyway!

[Anim 340 Midterm]

Well done

I think that you should get a fairly good grade because it's funny. That is why. I guess I am going to just admit that I laughed at this, maybe it's the absurdity or maybe it's just the look on the bum's face - but I definitely laughed. The characters both look pretty well drawn, especially the main character. The addition of the various happenings with different objects were seemingly unnecessary but did look neat. I like the use of audio.

[EPIC CHICKEN DANCE]

A truly engaging flash.

This was a pretty cool music video. Once the lyrics started playing it really got interesting. You had some funny drawings and animations to supplement those, and I liked the style of your drawings.
The first thirty seconds or so where there is no music was incredibly boring. I was about to exit the window I was so bored. Luckily you pulled it out ok though. Those mouth's need some work too, they just looked odd.

Heil responds:

why thankyou kind sir

[SMB 4: The Beach]

A great story with compelling characters.

It looked like an introduction to what would become a great movie. The graphics were very clean, with a very cartoony and detailed touch to them. The music made this more intense and definitely fun to watch but, yeah, I was definitely dissatisfied with the ending. It was a little bit short and I definitely would have liked to see the actual movie come out.

of course I didn't even see the flash

BurntIceProductions responds:

um, ok, if your reviewing a movie u didnt watch and giving it a 10, ur only helping me so ty,
