"Genius test not quite genius..."

submission: Genius Test 3

date: September 11, 2009

I'm sorry, but one question just reeks of non-logic... much less anything to actually validate your answer: Question 13. You don't specify what kind of race it is (for one) and you seem to ignore the fact that if it is a track race... it is quite possible to lap the person in last place. The same thing with an automobile race... thus if any of the answers were correct... it would be the second answer, not "impossible!"

Also... don't know what your magic trick was attempting, but it always tried to pick number 63. So that didn't work either.

Score: 9

"Wow..."

submission: Stamp on the Ground

date: September 8, 2009

I was expecting something... amateurish and boring... what I received was a fandom mash-up with excellent and timed comedic appearance. I'm quite impressed. Your a very talented animator and I love your artistic styling of all the character (many of which I am ashamed to recognize... especially the two from inhuman the webcomic... I know now that I read too many internet comics. Shame...)

Keep up the good work and I'd love to see something else from you along these lines.

The fangirl in me also has to get giddy at the shonnen ai scenes as well.

Score: 8

"Challenging... entertaining... well done!"

submission: -Stick War-

date: August 27, 2009

The overall gameplay is quite addicting... I actually wish that it had replay value (beyond that of just doing everything over again.) I never stopped playing until I finished it... which I did in:

Lvl 01 finished in 1m and 36s!
Lvl 02 finished in 2m and 3s!
Lvl 03 finished in 2m and 35s!
Lvl 04 finished in 5m and 35s!
Lvl 05 finished in 3m and 14s!
Lvl 06 finished in 6m and 23s!
Lvl 07 finished in 3m and 25s!
Lvl 08 finished in 2m and 0s!
Lvl 09 finished in 4m and 10s!
Lvl 10 finished in 3m and 29s!
Lvl 11 finished in 6m and 21s!
Lvl 12 finished in 3m and 45s!
Completed the game in 44m and 37s!

Your mechanics were spot on, the controls were simple and fun... didn't require too much to learn. Graphics were what I would expect from Crazy Jay... I love your stick movies and this is just as good! I would have to say better actually, just because I was amazed at the individual depth of animation for each unit type.

I did find the grammar to be off in some places... you would place your instead of you're... and there instead of their, but that is only something minor. I would have liked to been the native spear people as well. They had some speed behind them... and then they could have upgraded into the "spartans" later on... it would have been nice, but that's just the completionist in me wanted to unlock things.

The story was basic and didn't really have much of a plot beyond "conquer" but I enjoyed your game... you can easily finish it in under an hour... it's a good way to not only relieve boredom, but to waste time at work if necessary.

Score: 8

"Naruto or not... this is funny!"

submission: Naruto Random Flashness 4

date: August 18, 2009

I loved this movie... so I'm just going to run down the list. First things first...

Animation: excellent job... it's smooth, well done and it creates its own style. You've obviously put efforst into it, and thus I commend you.

Art: This is where I really found myself attracted to your movie. The characters were taken from the original artists and pulled into a awesome world of adorableness. I loved the art, it never got boring, it was even and well executed the whole way through... wonderful and enjoyable.

Music: I laughed... seeing all these difference music references, from Disney (beauty and the beast) to Lady Gaga at the end... perfect selections!

Overall you did a marvelous job... bravo. The lengh wasn't even a problem... I actually wanted more!

Score: 2

"Just... not enough"

submission: Knuckles Vs. Axel

date: August 12, 2009

I'm sorry, but I watched it all the way through... and your movie made no sense.

The animation was fine, but it's not enough to save it. There are SO MANY sprite movies out there... that you really have to step up the game and animation is no longer the only judge. This movie was boring... it was under par for action and it lacked the fundamental grammar to make it worth spending the time to read. Not only that but the SSB music was boring... bad music choice. Also the fact that it just keeps looping is also rather annoying. You have a great deal of work still left to do... you need to flesh out the story, you need to put in some more time animating the action scenes so they don't appear so rushed, think them out a little bit.

All in all this is a sub-par sprite animation.

Score: 8

"Very nice... I enjoyed it"

submission: The Adventures of BlobBob

date: August 12, 2009

I love the art on this game... Bob is quite cute and it plays smoothly. Your animation is crisp and clean... and it handles well, unlike many games on this website that are uploaded en masse. The levels are entertaining... widespread in parts and easy to go and play again.

Score: 8

"Excellent animation"

submission: Random Sonic vs Shadow P1

date: August 12, 2009

the Shadow fan in me hated watching him get the beating of his life, but I cannot deny that you put some might excellent effects to work with those sprites, and the close ups were also surprisingly clear... I was quite impressed. A quick run down...

Animation was great... which it was very little in the way of "New" you definitely have taken an over-used medium and refined it. I liked it, I wasn't bored... and it was neither jumpy or rushed. You know how to animate and that much is evident. I'd like to see you do something expanded... a little bit longer... and watch that. I want to see what you do with a prolonged and even fight and how much effort you are willing to put into such an endeavor. If what I have seen here is a measure... you could have Newgrounds gold in the future.

I realize that this was a test, but there was no story... so that did make it kinda seem like: here is Shadow getting the piss kicked out of him. This is payback to all the Shadow lovers out there. I would have liked a small explanation... so that bored me just a little. (you can only watch someone getting trashed for so long without wondering... what the heck? and why for?)

Excellent music choice, btw, and the voice clips were fairly well done... though Sonic sounded like Goku in one section... I don't know if that was intentional or not? I heard a line during the tornado... it wasn't very clear, I could have been hearing things... but if not--you may want to make it just a bit louder.

All in all everything was excellent... very nice test run.

Score: 9

"Newgrounds Staple"

submission: Thing-Thing Arena 3

date: August 10, 2009

You come to Newgrounds for several things: Blood, gore, and good gaming... movies or the mature content.

For me it's really the former three. I love playing the games on Newgrounds and I'm always looking for the next thrill or addicting pleasure. I have truly come to love Thing Thing... from customization to exploding skulls... it has it all and it's been fine tuned like a science.

Your control scheme handles well.
The graphics are sharp.
The game difficulty constantly changes.
The score system is incremental... and the score boards are fun (I made it to spot 22!! YAY!)
There is a variety of weapons.

In the words of Christopher Walken, "Death is this man's art... and he's about to paint a masterpiece". This game comes together with many perfect elements to form a masterpiece... your masterpiece, which I only hope you will try even harder to best.

Excellent work... you've done yourself proud! I'm impressed... time to go kill more people.

Score: 4

"Potential... only time will tell"

submission: Dragon Ball Stick Ep1

date: August 10, 2009

You're sticks are well drawn, but your animation needs a lot of work. Here are some suggestions:

Text: People have to read... orange text is not only difficult to read, but it is also small. If you're going to make it like that... people need more time to read it... it moves too fast as it is. I'm not saying make like five seconds per line, but just make it so that it's easily read. Try voice acting it if you want... it'll keep people from being bored.

Action: Was too face. It almost looked jumpy and rushed. I don't know what your frame rate is, but I'd suggest either dropping it or fleshing out the action scenes so it looks like it isn't just blink, blink... over. I felt unfulfilled.

Animation: impact will create friction and force... you may want to add little effects here and there for when people hit each other, when their feet strike the ground... ect. It adds more to the effort of the animation and also creates some realism.

Not bad for a first attempt.

Score: 1

"illogical and frustrating..."

submission: Random Quiz demo

date: August 5, 2009

This sounds like parroting, but the game is not user friendly... it's not even friendly to logic, reason, or insanity... the only thing it is a friend to is wasting time. IF you have the time to click every option further on... then you may make it to the end of this quiz, but don't expect this "Impossible Quiz's illegitimate and cast away child" to give you anything fulfilling for its completion.

Suggestions for this game would include: music... and good music at that. If people are going to waste their time--they might as well have something worth listening to.

Get rid of the acid trip in the background... it causes mild seizures. I would suggest something simple, or if you want to do that "computer chip" animation thing... use less contrasting colors. Perhaps blue and white and black? I don't know... the blue and yellow is killer, that is for certain.

Next make the questions at least fun... humorous... even witty if that is possible. Don't rip off of another creation... try to make something that is your own creation! Go for the gold rather than sub... sub par. Right now this feels like the bottom of the barrel when, with a little more effort, you could havea decent submission.
