[Chalk Adventure]

So CooL!

I absolutely love these kinds of animations, they have so much style and it takes real patience to pull em off well, ive never seen one done in chalk though. May i ask how long it took you to do this and how hard was it?

Graphically this was very cool, nice little drawings throughout with chalk and they looked wicked. The animation was smooth too, these have to be smooth throughout to get a good effect and you pulled it off. I especially liked when you picked up the chalk box. Looked cool!! :)
The music and sound was cool, fitted very nicely with the whole feel of the animation.

Personally i think it could of been a bit longer but whatever. I really think you should make more of these as they are really cool. Hoping to see more, keep up the good work!!

Well, I'd say this one took me about 3 days. Working at odd time when I had a chance.
So a lot shorter than you probably thought ;)
Difficulty? It depends. Writing out text is the easiest thing ever. A hard part would have to be... the "picking up" the chalk block. That one took a long time. I had to draw it all without moving my one hand, so the propotions wouldn't change much.

It's hard to judge how long it is until it's done.
But I think if I do another, I'll spend atleast twice as long on it. Hopefully that creates something twice as long.

[Street Fighter Series pt2]

Shadow-1409

I am a huge fan of the street fighter series and i liked this flash. I can see you like street fighter alot and the story was pretty cool, i was slightly disappointed when we didnt get to see the final attack though.

Graphically this was good, i cant really say much about sprite flashes graphically because as long as the sprites aqre good the flash looks good. And these were good sprites. ^_^
The backrounds needs some work though, at points the lava at the bottom was going over the floor at the back, i didnt know if this was supposed to happen but im just saying. The aniamtion was very very good. Its nice to see good sprite manipulation and you have very good control over them. the characters and backround moved very smoothly. I liked that alot.

The sound was good. Nice sound effects here and there, mostly grunts and coughs though. But still good. The backround music was tense and atmospheric, good choice. Maybe add some voice acting in there, as it seemed a little quiet at times.

Overall it was a good sprite flash, i liked the style and im hoping to see part 3 and maybe review it if your lucky. Keep up the good work. ^_^

[Brother Battle]

Not Bad

Well here goes, im in the mood to review so im gonna review every link i see and you get the honor of being first! I quite liked this, short and sweet, but you didnt offer an explanation as to why Mario and Luigi were fighting but nomatter.

Graphically its a sprite movie, hard to go wrong with these graphics wise unless your making your own sprite sheets lol, the animation wasnt half bad, seemed a little too slow at points but nevermind. The sound clips were good and fit well.
Overall i liked it, especially the scene with bowser crying at the end, major lol. ^_^

[5 Hour Challenge #1]

Hmmm

This is a very cool flash done in a very short time and for that i commend you! Theres not many flashes that could be made in 5 hours that could manage a half decent score. ^_^
I like this and the theme of tradegy is significant in it and fits very well, nice interpretation.

The graphics were alright, not fantastic but not too bad for 5 hours of work, The backrounds are pretty good too, nice amount of detail and the colouring is effective also. The animation was pretty smooth throughout the whole thing and as everyone has mentioned the first running scene was a bit glitchy but nevermind that.

The sound was cool, the music used for the scenes was dramatic and used very effectively and the ending credits music was just plain wierd. Maybe the flash could of used voice acting or speakonia voices but you probably didnt have enough time.

Overall its a cool falsh for 5 hours and i hope you win the nationals, and whatever you make for the nationals submit it to newgrounds as id love to see it. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the review, and as I said to Haggard, send me you MSN and you can tell me, even if you are unexperienced in flash, just as a viewer what you want to see.

Thanks,

[Spiderman vs. Pie]

Hilarious.

Wow, like seriously im not quite sure what to say about this really, some parts were side splittingly funny while others were just weird while otheres were a bit...lame. For the most part this flash had me rolling around laughing, but some parts were just dumb, even though this flash is poorly made and animated terribly, its underrated as its hilarious.

Graphically im gonna put it to you straight and true, it was crappy, lol, you cut and pasted images off google no doubt but the humor overrides this somehow, normally id take one look at that and stop watching but i found it funny. The backrounds were white, plain white, could of put a bit more effort into those at least!! The animation was simple and almost non existant. Not much to say about it here.

The sound wasnt too bad, not bad music at some points and the music was off a fair quality, the voices, now what to say about those, they were weird, very weird, spiderman was almost impossible to understand a few times, the voices were very funny though, maybe need to be of better quality though.

Overall the flash was terrible, but the fact it had me dying with laughter brings it up alot, its hard for me to find something i can just keep laughing at and this is one of them. keep up the..."good" work i suppose :P

Err...

Erm i dont know what to say really about this, kinda pointless in my opinion and i wasnt really expecting a spoof kind of thing. Not really much point to it and the drawing and animation on bluehippo was good so its sad to see wasted talent. Not much else i can say about this im afraid.

gumOnShoe responds:

It isn't as pointless as you think it is, though as I only took 2 hours to make, its understandable. It was submitted on April 1st, so it makes sense. It had to do with NG comminity happenings, so it makes even more sense. And its about having a good time and laughing, so its totally an NG related flash.

I don't regard my talent as wasted because, well I actually submitted this flash and some people have enjoyed it. (Wait, I have talent? o_O)

I' sorry you didn't enjoy this, perhaps next time I'll have something more up you ally, but this really was something I enjoyed doing, and its been a while since I could say that about a flash I worked on.

[Planet go Boom!]

Very good!

I liked this, good characters, good story and it was pretty funny. It brought a smile on my face, which i thank you for, the setting is cool too.

Graphically this is good, i like your style, the characters looked great, your drawing is good and the objects and frog looked good. The backrounds were nice and simple but looked well, and the colouring was good throughout.
The animation was simmple and smooth which is very good.
The sound was good too, nice sound effects on the people and good clear voice acting on the frog. Very good

Overall i liked this, especially the uncoloured part with the frog talking, i thought that was particularly good. Well Done!!
