"I know why there's a problem, but fixable"

submission: Ongaku

date: July 13, 2007

I really like it. And it works very well when you are performing more "instrumental" notes instead of "beats." What I mean is, when you RELEASE the key, it works fine. I get that, but in terms of lining that up with beats?

No. That's not exactly "rythmatic." Rythm is about timing of hitting the note, and releasing is a totally different thing. It throws you off and you can't ever hit the notes exactly on beat because of that. Meaning -- in order to play this correct, you have to be early with every note.

That's a bad thing. But I imagine, easily fixable. Just change the event to when you press the key DOWN and all is done. The scoop thing I don't understand if it makes ANY difference, because it just proves "hey, I can hold down this key for 5 seconds before a note comes up, but not if accompanied by 8 other ones in a row - I'm dead when that happens." I can't deny it's bad, so I do still like it. Just... bad tendency to have to hit a note earlier than needed.

I'm a drummer, any musician knows coming in early or late sucks... or blows, whatever your gender is.

"Sad thing is..."

submission: Incubus Pulsum

date: June 27, 2007

This is probably the best "Rock Out" game I've seen, though it's pretty hard as balls if you don't get used to the controls ASAP. Seems pretty fun though, I have to say I'm impressed! That's saying alot since I hate all the other submissions! I mean, really...hate them with a passion.

Score: 8

"It's not animation or art - but"

submission: Jerry

date: June 25, 2007

It's humorous and what EVERYONE HAS MISINTERPRETED -- is that it's because of the animation. You can admit yourself, there wasn't that much animation to it. Maybe a total of 25 scenes actually drawn.

I just wish people could recognize IT WAS THE EDITING. Edits can make anything good, boring, funny, romantic, horrific, etc. I'm just glad they used it right in this flash. Just a note to you who thinks the art or animation was awesome in the movie. The creator could admit it was good, but nothing spectacular. It's just the edits that made it fun. And I'm glad it is, it's refreshing.

Score: 9

"Great could-be-but-not ingame cinematics!"

submission: Super Mario bros Z ep 4

date: June 4, 2007

I really mean this -- games need ingame cinematics & story just like yours you have here. I've watched 3 and plan to watch up to the latest episode, but you need to know that an actual game company would probably consider your artistic and storylines you have here. And since you actually do Nintendo and Sega's popular characters and intertwine them to make it work well - almost like they were meant to confront each other - it only seems like the next step would be to do this for real in their games.

The best I can base this off of would be the orignial Super Mario RPG for the SNES with all characters coming together and fighting this new force unleashed in their world. If there were a sequel to that original game, I think this story could very well be just that.

It's great work so far and I love the animations you have created AND the ones you have borrowed from other games (Mega Man X's dirt scutter). I also enjoy the music you borrowed such as Metroid Fusion in the second episode and then Blast Corps from N64. Great use of music!

Score: 6

"Reason its a 6..."

submission: Noah - A Short Film

date: February 13, 2005

Just like any short film out there, of course its going to try and make some ground of what you, the artist, believes it is. Pretend you're watching this for the first time though, what are you going to expect?

Well thing is, I don't expect a whole lot from "short films." (noir style, that's what this is) I'm still waiting for that one to prove me wrong.

What this means is, you're going to artsy to the point where anything could mean anything. And chances are, if you want US to see something good (since you are hopeful that we all will like it) then at least check it out for yourself and make it interesting - creative, but not to the point where boxes fall out of the sky dude... c'mon, you're just trying too hard there to make sense of what's going on.

Your technical side is strong though, art direction is good as well. But as for the editing pace and idea -- understand those 2 before all else. Art is something ever changing, but when your perspective isn't spoken clearly, we won't understand. That's not good.

Score: 6

"Heh... Good..."

submission: Eggs for Easter

date: April 3, 2004

Man I'd be scared as hell if I were that egg. But either way, you did a pretty good job with this. Except, it just... feels like there's something lacking that... Could be thrown in. Anyhow, work on perfecting those drawing skills since they seem like they can be improving toward a smoother look.

Score: 9

"To be honest..."

submission: This is Going to Get Me K

date: April 3, 2004

...This is one of the few movies on Newgrounds that's sorely underrated. I truly liked your flash! The concept and the jokes (except the "What would Jesus do?") were all good! I say that because it's a little offensive toward me and what I believe in... But I'm not dwelling on that. I liked it all! :) Very thought provoking. All you will need in the future, however, is possibly a higher frame rate and voice acting. If those took place here, you would have surely been placed higher than the others because there ARE people on NG who just scroll through submissions and if it's not what they want... you're in the gutter.

I don't care, forget what they think man, your stuff got my attention and it's hard to put it away. 5!

Score: 6

"Hmm"

submission: Soxer's attack

date: September 25, 2003

Well, if it were only longer...and if it only made sense...but otherwise... it's not bad.

Score: 3

"lol...Dude..."

submission: The Samurai (intro)

date: September 18, 2003

Um, why submit an INTRO to a movie with no movie at the end of it? This doesn't deserve to go on NG. I gave it somewhat of a score because it had potential....but I think you're a moron if you think THAT was a long intro... Might've taken YOU a long time to do it. Get thinking on what movies really are.

Score: 1

"What the..."

submission: Ki

date: September 18, 2003

Lol, i hope this is a joke flash because that was pretty dumb. Um, the music in the background did not at all fit this... that was a ballad song... if anything, be smarter and choose a song that is faster paced so it matches the faster paced animation...

As for following what's happening... Who can?! This doesn't make much sense except it looks like anime and the recordings were very bad quality. I wouldn't bother with making another part, because why would you wanna see another part?
