"Solid Entry"

submission: I need a Hero

date: May 25, 2009

The premise is a good one. The artwork is good, but the fluidity of the animation is a bit stilted at times. Movements seem labored and repetitive at times. While the actual style is fine as it is, perhaps some work on the transitions in movement would help a great deal. This fluidity would also greatly benefit this type of piece when the song starts to pick up, so that the action would match pace with the song.

Overall, a competent piece fit to its song well, with no serious flaws. I look forward to seeing more from you.

Score: 7

"Highly Impressive Inaugural Flash"

submission: Emo Girl

date: November 19, 2008

While the lack of a preloader and replay button hinder it somewhat, it seems like plenty of people have told you that already, so just keep learning until you get those techniques down.

As for style, it was good and a bit more unique than usual, albeit rudimentary. If you were to practice on polishing it up just a bit, it would be beneficial.

The music flowed well, and fit the mood of the scenes., and sounds effects would be useless in this type of work.

However, the length of this piece negatively affects it. Were part two a bit longer, it would be great.

However, if this is your first entry, I am sure you will only make better and better submissions. I greatly look forward to the next batch of your work. Keep it up.

Score: 10

"Marvelous"

submission: Nothing In My Way Collab

date: October 18, 2008

Good song selection, excellent stylizing, and a very nice mix-up of animation styles. Also, great lip-synching, and transitioning. There isn't anything to imrpove upon here, really. Your only problem is probably a small target audience that appreciates this work for how good it is. Overall, a fantastic piece of work. Thank you for submitting it.

Score: 10

"Excellent"

submission: FlashSaga1: Daily 5th

date: October 18, 2008

The animation is good, the song is enjoyable, and the humor is original and I can fully sympathize with the sentiment behind it. Although I have never submitted, I can imagine how frustrating it can be to be thwarted.

If you keep pumping out things of this quality, I can't see how you couldn't get a trophy. This is good stuff. I look forward to more.

Score: 10

"Odd"

submission: first fantasy

date: October 18, 2008

This is a truly excellent piece. You seem to be getting a lot of unfair criticism for being unoriginal, when I cannot even tell you how many Madness, Knox, Awesome, and et cetera rip-offs I have seen this week alone. You took a well-known game, took beloved characters, gave it your own spin, creativity, and utterly flawless execution, and prodced a top-notch flash far superioir in skill than most. However, the story is lacking, as it is with most flashes. Perhaps providing a context for what is happening would help, instead of having him para-drop in and start hacking people right away.

Overall, truly excellent piece. Make more.

Score: 5

"Needs work, but good"

submission: FEAR - Beta

date: October 17, 2008

The heal system is pretty good, and this is a good game to kill a few minutes to, but a couple improvements are needed. Leg animation for when the character is moving would be nice. Also, smaller figured. That way, you can give them more room for when you start throwing a lot of enemies at them. Extra weapons pickups would be good, or perhaps weapon purchases following levels. I look forward to the polished version

Score: 0

"Too fast"

submission: Crazy Laws of Singapore

date: October 7, 2008

After the first few laws, it simply goes too fast to be able to continue reading. You may want to slow it down some. Also, a different clolr scheme may work a little better, too. h

Score: 9

"Another Excellent Marriage of Music and Flash"

submission: Innocent Mayhem

date: October 4, 2008

You somehow took the concept of toys coming to life at night time and doing absolutely nothing malicious or intimidatiing, and still gave it a kind of creepy feel.

Superb matching of character actions and rhythm with the song, excellent chaaracter design on the stitch doll, nnice evolution of action, good detail to background (I enjoyed the clouds on strings), and overall an enjoyable romp into music-land. No flash skill improvement needed, excellent music choice, and marvelous execution. My favoirite of yours thus far.

Score: 8

"Another Triumph"

submission: All The Trees

date: October 4, 2008

This piece encapsulates the miracle - and also insignificance of - life very well. Another excellent use of symbology, coupled with good style, intuitive music selection, and impressive flash skills make this quite enjoyable. From the flash standpoint, I saw only one flaw, and it may have been intentional, anyway. It seemed that the orbit of the blue planets three satellites stuttered for a bit when it first began to zoom out. It seemed to clear up after that, though.

I really have nothing to add for you to improve your style, unfortunately. Although I can say I enjoyed your presentation of the rain clouds, the formation of the rainbow, and the disappeaarance of the rainbow with the rising of the sun.
Great job.

Score: 9

"Impressive"

submission: Breath Me Remake

date: October 4, 2008

For the type of work you were trying to achieve here, you've already mastered all of the flash skills you need to reach your goal. So, on technique and ability, I cannot rate you anything but perfectly. You do everything you need to do flawlessly from that standpoint. So, that really breaks down reviewing your piece to whether I liked your style, and whether I liked you music, rather than being able to critique you from a technical standpoint.

As for style, you certainly have a very unique one, which, as previosuly mentioned, fully exploits your ability in flash. And as it is rich in symbology, it is a different flash for every person; whether they decide for it to be a series are pretty scnenes or to have a deeper meaning being entirely up to them. On style, I rate you a 10.

As for your choice of music, it flows masterfully into the flash (or perhaps it is more accurate to say your flash flows perfectly into the music) and breathes life into the imagery. The two are synced perfectly, leaving no annoying belches in the animation in which the two do not harmoniously conincide. On music, I give you a 10.

The only thing that I see as bringing your score down to the 9 I awarded you is the lack of replayability for me. Yes, it's lovely. Yes, the music is nice, deep and calming. But once you have seen this a couple times, yu've about seen it as much as you need to. Not a bad thing. And probably not something you can avoid.

Overall, you have presented an amazing piece with excellent style, wonderful flow, and appropriate choice in music. I have nothing to offer you to better this as it is entirely up to you to decide where to take your style. I do, however, look forward to future submissions where you evolve and discover where you want to take your artistic direction. A truly marvelous piece, miss.
