"Neat style."

I very much liked your animation. It was very charming, and I really liked your drawing style.

Nice job on the sound (though I wish you hadn't compressed it as much). I liked how the robot sang a cappella.

Overall a nice enjoyable little animation.

Score: 9

"Excellent."

I saw this yesterday as it entered the portal (fived it), but I wasn't sure if I should leave a review because I didn't quite know what to say. I just now saw your news post advertising it on the front page and, as I am reminded of it and watch it again, I am sure it deserves a review, whether or not I am able to make it a good one.

I love what you've done here. You have absolutely brilliant imagery, and wonderfully stylish drawings. I very much enjoy how you used the plaid background for the girl's shirt (and the lettering for the character I like to call Theatre Face). The final effect looks great. The blur used on the butterflies/moths/insects was well done. As well as all these pluses, you are a master at showing things grow. If I wanted a tree to grow out of my head, I would ask you for help.

Overall, great smooth animation. The only problem I had was that, in the shot of the pasture in the wind, the grass and wheat (as well as their movement) were a little bit stiff. I wasn't crazy about the protagonist seeing her face with etched out eyes and mouth either, just because it felt a little bit cliché.

Nice music choice, though I know that was never an issue; after all, the video is named after the song, and so I assume it was inspired by it. I wasn't particularly crazy about the louder parts of the song, though - the more, for lack of a better word, 'screamo' moments. I just felt that they took me out of the mood. That's kind of beyond your control, though - you didn't write the song. It's hardly fair to judge a work like this based primarily on music, and I'm not going to do that :)

Brilliant piece. You have great talent, and this is definitely proof of artists on Newgrounds. Front page material.

"Great game!"

I really liked it. Great graphics, fun characters, smooth gameplay, good sound, and just a lot of fun! The overall presentation is quite nice. I think you've done an awesome job - I have no criticism.

"Unique!"

Very nice little toy you've made here. I really liked the style of drawing, and I loved the way it all came together. Good music!

Nice job! I really enjoyed it.

"Very promising."

submission: Spin 2

date: July 8, 2008

This has the potential to be an awesome game. It's quite fun, very addictive, and unique! Nice job. I liked the simplicity of it.

What you ABSOLUTELY need is some music. Get a good bouncing soundtrack (check out the Audio Portal! There's tons of good music if you look for it) and that will keep players entertained longer. If you REALLY wanted to go all out, you could make the game synchronize with the music, too. It's a pretty popular technique used in Flash games right now, and I think it would really work with your idea.

There's some room for improvement presentation-wise, too. You should use a less recognizable and more interesting in-game font than Times New Roman. There are lots of free fonts out there. Check out dafont.com. Also, maybe you could have some animation going on in the background instead of a plain black screen. Maybe themed levels?

That's pretty much all I've got to say. I liked it! Great gameplay. Just work on a few things and this could be a gem.

Score: 10

"Nicely done."

Loved it. Great trippy stuff going on. Looked really cool, sound was good, and it didn't make sense. Thumbs up!

"Squirmishly hilarious."

submission: I Love Babies

date: March 15, 2008

I haven't reviewed in a long time, but I felt I had no choice in the matter. Great voice acting and script. I loved the animation as well.

I feel I should check out "I LOVE KIDS" now...

Fived.

"Incredible..."

submission: Shroomy Chaos / Paranoia

date: December 22, 2007

I've been checking out your older Flash submissions because I love what I've seen so far, and I think I've just discovered a new favorite.

Nothing short of amazing.

I absolutely loved the artwork, and you really managed to translate some difficult things into the animation. Great choice of music. It fit the scenes perfectly and absolutely helped in creating your atmosphere.

Well done. I'm extremely impressed.

Score: 10

"Amazing."

submission: SAATANA

date: December 15, 2007

I loved it. It had that violent-psychedelic "get away" vibe that I loved about PERKELE. I'm really happy you chose to use my song in your submission, and I love what you've done with it.

Great stuff -- recommending it to ultra-violence.
