I knew what it would mean from the start.
I hate groups like the KK as much as anyone else, but making spammy flashes full of seizure incuding flashing is not too far from what they do. If you made something entertaining out of it, that would be one thing, but this is no better than the kind of crap KK, FF and the like put out.
Also, the KK is dead.
But I enjoy doing things like this :)
A very good start
The art was really nice, and the animation was fluid and smooth.
As you said though, there were audio synching problems. If there was so much as some background music though, your flash would improve greatly.
I like the character designs a lot, and hope they can be in a longer cartoon with some sound added in.
Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for your response! I'm pleased to hear that the characters of Kraklak were appealing, and that you'd even like to see them in a longer piece!
Very stylish, and funny too!
This was one cool flash. The art was really cool, and all the characters had a neo-noir vibe, with the eternally lit cigarettes and silhouettes.
Funny touches like people saying "love" after everything, and taking pictures of the murder scene were great, and really gave some extra personality to it all.
A stylish, unique, and funny animation. Not many things this original come around on Newgrounds - great work!
Yeah, the neo noir thing was something I was going for, but in a comedy sort of way - I'm glad you got the vibe! I tried to make a fully different and unique style out of the cigarette speaking and black silhoettes, but I think I'll change that in future, seeing as smoking is gradually being phased out in society and will soon turn into something of the past.. It's about time I stopped being lazy and learnt to do some proper lip-synching :(
I'm working on refining this style and adding some new, more modern elements and hopefully make a more entertaining and fun flash series. I've found it's not a bad start looking to your stuff for examples of how to do that!
Thanks for the uplifting comments dude!
The best Madness tribute continues
99% of Madness tributes on Newgrounds range from bad to unwatchable. Your series offsets this trend with an original narrative, colorful and good looking art style, and a legitimate story to tell, not just mindless violence.
Loved the first one, loved this one, and you can bet I'm looking forward to Xionic Madness 2, come September!
Fantastic work in every aspect!
:D yay I survived, thanks ;D
Reeks of unoriginality.
The short story is, sprite animations have been done to death. Very few bring anything unique to the table, and this is no exception.
Nothing new was on display, as this story has been done before. Unless you're really going to go out and make it unique, I wouldn't bother doing anything of the sort.
There's little I can say about the art or animation, as the art was pre-made sprites and a single image (the mock up title screen, which I'll admit looked alright)
Start making animations using your own art and universe. Hell, you could even draw Mario and Luigi in flash and you'd at least be a step ahead of most sprite animators.
Better luck with your future submissions,

You know, I think you are right. And that is what I thought too when I first thought of making a luigi game. "There's a million of them" I said. But then it hit me. There was a story I wrote for a school, it was like, 50 pages of small copybook. Maybe about 25 or 30 of A4 pages. I gave to my teacher, who gave it to the principal, who suggested I put it on the internet. And at that time I was thinking of making a luigi game. So, put em both together, with inspiration from the Metal Gear Solid series (you know, with those plot twists that leave your jaw open for an hour) I plan to make something that is truly unique. Bowser is the least of luigi's worries here, and mario.... Well I don't want to spoil anything. But if you'd like, PM me and I'll PM you with a little more of the story.
When I told it to A guy I was gonna be working with, he told me to get started right now as he couldn't wait for it anymore. Let's just hope it turns out the way I envision it now.
B is the loneliest number
B is the letter for B

Very David Lynch
The art and presentation of the whole piece was astounding. That and the sound (forwards/backwards speech of TV Head) really reminded me of David Lynch's work, like the stranger moments of Twin Peaks, as did the flaming B.
Possibly the finest piece of Clock-related flash ever made.
Haha thank you for the awesome review, David Lynch? Im humbled !
9's instead of 10's make baby jesus cry though.
And actually the TV's are not talking backwords... dum dum dum....
The ClockCrew loves you and all !
Gotta love the Locks
You guys kick the crap out of CC, GG, KK, and all the like. Nice art and animation, great audio, and genuinely funny jokes. Happy Lock Day guys, you deserve it.
Amen to that, brother.
I'm Camtoons. I make cartoons. That's not confusing or anything.
