"Gorgeous"

submission: Portal Defenders

date: February 26, 2009

Absolutely love the graphics - lots of character, fluid animation, and really coherent with the Newgrounds look.

I'm going to nth the difficulty though. It ramps up really, really fast. I got Psycho Goldfish to half health and just got thrashed. Adding in lives, a continue system, or health pickups would really leviate the difficulty without breaking the flow much.

Great game, and it felt awesome to beat the Krap out the Kitty Krew!

"Cyberen doesn't pollute..."

submission: Cyberen Doesn't Pollute

date: February 25, 2009

But you pollute the portal with this garbage.
Just a loop of some bodybuilder with a terrible haircut.
Honestly, if you put as much effort into your flashes as you do into your descriptions you'd be pretty well off. This is just awful.

Score: 10

"A hidden gem"

submission: The Hank Hill Experience2

date: February 24, 2009

It's a tragedy that so few people have seen this. It's absolutely hilarious. If you ever come back, I believe a third one would be in order.

"Wholly underwhelming"

submission: Ultima Tournamnet Trailer

date: February 19, 2009

A handful of sprites fading to black, cut to sprites shooting lasers from Megaman games, all set to J pop/rock. This is not an interesting way to present your ideas.

Also, sprite fights as a whole are incredibly overdone. Unless your "fight" flashes will offer something new, I advise against contributing to the disease. This trailer tells the viewer nothing about the series except that it will involve overused sprites from a handful of games fighting each other. On that note, I may be wrong that the series will offer nothing new, since there is nothing to deduce from the trailer. From what I can tell though, this looks to be a painfully generic sprite brawl.

As to the author comments - saying only flash artists can properly criticize your work comes off as sort of holier-than-thou. I sort of see the point you're trying to make though. For the record, I've got over 40 flashes and a good deal of awards, so I know what I'm talking about.

Try a different approach for flashes before you dig yourself in a hole and end up with the wealth of other sprite fight animators. Create a story beyond "guys punch other guys". Create some original graphics while you're at it, as most people are tired of seeing the same damn sprites over and over. Good luck.

"Beat me to it!"

submission: Newgrounds in a Nutshell!

date: February 17, 2009

I've actually been planning on doing a flash similar to this given how ridiculous Newgrounds has become in recent months. Thanks for beating my lazy ass to it! One less flash I have to make, anyway :D

Art was pretty representative of each style you mimicked, especially the "There She Is!!!" part. Probably would have put in a Naruto (or other overrated kids show) sprite fight or another "Awesome" segment, given the abundance of both of those on the portal.

Overall, a nice bit of satire of this place we have such a love/hate relationship with. Keep up the good work, and hope to see more work from you in the coming months.

Cock Joke.

"Technically not a flash but I'll make an exception"

submission: Its a Tank!

date: February 16, 2009

;) just kidding!
Entertaining enough, and a good advert for the upcoming tank awards. Very nice special effects too, with P-Bot and all that chocolate syrup.

It's great to know that the owner of this website takes the time and effort to offer input into the community, while offering up entertaining content as well!

A nice flash, and congratulations to the lucky recipient of that tank!

"Very cool"

submission: -Ketto-

date: February 13, 2009

First of all, fantastic use of fbf. Most fbf animations on Newgrounds are a bouncing squiggle having a seizure while music from the latest Madness cartoon plays, but this was leaps and bounds better than that.

Great choice of music, and really smooth animation. Good use of colors too.

I'm also annoyed at myself for being unproductive, but I don't think I could make an end product as stylish as this! My only complaint would be that it isn't terribly long, but at least it still gets it's point across.

Great work, hope you get more out there soon!

Score: 8

"Bold, solid."

submission: M U S L I M

date: February 9, 2009

First off - I have to praise you on having pride in your faith here on Newgrounds. You're probably going to get loads and loads of abuse from the racists and prejudiced, but it's worth it to get your message out.

It's rare to see someone showing pride in who they are without putting everyone else down. For example: I'm atheist, but I'm not going to go around actively bashing everyone who isn't. It's nice that you can show pride in your beliefs without being a bigot, something very few people can do.

On to the flash itself - the graphics were solid, and the animation was good too. However, some people looked a little wonky and didn't always move quite right, sometimes seeming sort of stiff. Maybe that's part of the style, but it's not enough to greatly detract from this flash.

Great work, hope to see more from you soon.

Score: 9

"One of my favorites"

submission: Cat Face 4

date: February 8, 2009

I love all of your work, Cat Face included, and this one is no exception. I saw it on your website a while ago, and it's nice to see it here on Newgrounds. My favorite is the first one though, just for how strange and unexpected it is.

Great work, hope there's a 5th one coming out!

Score: 10

"A fitting end"

submission: marshmallow squad 3

date: February 6, 2009

It's nice to see two of the most underrated artists on Newgrounds get together and make such a quality flash - it's great to see you two collaborating!

Graphics were a huge leap forward from the past entries in this series as well. Also, excellent soundtrack choices.

A true epic of the times. I really hope this gets the attention it deserves.
