"OK but not great"

submission: Flash to the Present

date: November 18, 2006

+some good graphics
+good lip sync
Maybe its just me but...
Were we supposed to know these people? Was this story supposed to make any more sense than just someone coming home from space and not being missed?
I didnt get that other guy who just appeared for a moment. Wa that just random?
I didn't get the repetition thing yep yep yep?

I guess most people know the music is Johhny B Goode, but you should still put it in the credits, especially since there are ship loads of versions of JBG- that was the Chuck Berry version, yes?

Score: 5

"OK"

submission: Not Your Ice Cream

date: November 17, 2006

+ like the sound and music
+like the flavours on the side of the van

-maybe trim the film slightly- too many repeats fo the look between the guy and the icecream.

Score: 6

"The best Ackbar I've seen"

submission: Ackbar : Copyrights

date: November 17, 2006

Educational! Yay. I liked the way you emphasised the key words.

Some of it was a bit rushed but it was generally OK.
right at the end architectural is spelt thus.

Score: 6

"Good, funny"

submission: the crazy dance-off

date: November 17, 2006

At first, when I saw the opening shots I thought it was going to be lame, but as I watched the variety of shots in the dancing, with humour and background etc I was impressed.
Maybe a bit too long though. I'd say trim it by about 10-20%. Keep the variety of dance moves, but trim the repeats a bit.
I liked the shiny trousers effect.

Score: 6

"Good laugh"

submission: That's My Fulp 8

date: November 17, 2006

Some nice stuff in there. It helps if we know the Ackbar series.

I can just picture the staff rushing to get round a monitor and see your latest, then ribbing each other for the rest of the day!

I was kinda hoping to see Stamper screw up NG in their absence, do you think you could insert that somehow- just a quick bit at the end?

Score: 7

"Its good, but could be much better"

submission: Europe At War Episode 1

date: November 16, 2006

+ some good art
+excellant SC stuff as intro
+good idea
+OK animation

However, this is a worthy project, worth taking time to get the details and push the score up.
1. Tell a bit more of a story/plot. Otherwise you have just stickmen fighting. What was Blitzkrieg? How did the Germans succeed as far as they got? Some vision of a map, maybe with Wermacht officers planning and pushing thier models of tank divisions into Poland.
2. I don't understand the tank bit- the grey troops (who is who?) throw a grenade at the tank which does nothing (correct), then they fire riffles and it blows up!? Also I can't think of any tank in WW2 that had a rapid-fire main gun.
3. I didn't really understand the aeroplane bit either- it looked as though you got a goodlooking plane art, then couldnt be bothered to do the rest of the scene to the same standard and just jumped to black. One of the enduring images of the 2nd World War was the Stuka dive-bombers, that struck fear into peoples hearts. show us one of those and make that the plane hit in the cockpit, then let us see it side view or something heading for the house.
4. I assume english is not your first language, but when you are doing something as important as this, get it checked by someone who knows english well as it has lots of errors, which is important in an educational style movie.
5. Its a shame you are stick artists, its such a waste of talent drawing good pictures and putting sticks in suits to act them out. However, you can still put good looking uniforms on them.
6. The grass and background should have more detail. My movies are only aiming for 3/5 but I put in at least as much as this. Don't make backgrounds as an afterthought, take your time with all of them. You only draw them once, so draw in trees, bushes, roads distant houses, tyre tracks, changes of grass colour, mud- look out of your windows and explore with your eyes.

If you show me that you are willing to improve this work and not ignore your reviews, then would be willing to help you. Make improvements, then PM me. This Movie is worth it!

"OK"

submission: TBM VS Megaman X

date: November 16, 2006

Actually, you say the end was lame, but in my eyes it saved you. The movie went straight into the same old game sprite fights, wiht no explanation and no story. I have seen all this kind of thing here over and over again. Most of you don't introduce anything to us so if you dont know the characters its of no interest. I was making myself wait through to the end, when all of a sudden the simple comic idea made sense of it all!
Then to cap it you had proper credits.

Score: 5

"OK"

submission: Tank_Sm.gif

date: November 15, 2006

The movie's OK, the sounds OK, the musics OK. Its not great, its kinda short with basic animation etc etc etc.

Never mind all that- is it for real? I've never seen this little thing?
Where is it? Are we really supposed to save it- should I alert all the Dragons & Spirits on Friday?
Tank_Sm.gif forever?
Tank_Sm.gif we love you?
don't go Tank_Sm.gif ?
How dare they take away our beloved Tank_Sm.gif ?
Is that the idea?
I mean we can do this... I can ask the Spirits- Hefalump will pout and Pegasus will cry and earthdragon will make the ground shake and they will have to listen to us!

Score: 5

"OK little game"

submission: Bomb-omb Blast!

date: November 14, 2006

I made 555!

you could do an explosion when thebomb-ombs hit him. You could make levels , with more and more bomb-ombs and/or moving faster, but its all OK.

Score: 7

"Good game"

submission: Fan Game 0.39

date: November 14, 2006

+ Fan effect was good
+ Interesting interaction with starry blocks, I got stuck amongst them sometimes, even pushing right through once. I found I got stuck to them on level 6, which was challenging
+Lots to do, building up with more challenges.

-Sound would be so good. Maybe music, with choices and more importantly, an off button for music. A fan sound would be so good and a nice roley plop sound when the 'critters' fall down the holes, or even a long, drawn out ahhhhhh! as if falling down a deep hole. A fanfare or something when you make it to the end of a level and a bad sound when you fail. You could have a rolling sound, like marbles or ball bearings on glass when the balls more.

I got to level five in a few minutes and found it easier than I expected, shooting through first time in a few seconds. THEN!
I stayed on level six for two hours (well about ten minutes!) trying again and again. twice I made a run for it with all four against the evil triangles, having somehow got past the holes, but no... I never made it!
I dont play games much, but Ive never seen one like this. the fan idea is great and I think I will recomend it to Codester, who likes this kind of thing.
Best Wishes,
Ice
