IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kare 1 Home]

Too little in it to really judge the quality of the story, or to get into it much, but what there is is intriguing and different. I trust you have a plan for something worthwhile and a bit longer for future episodes. Reminds me of Tiny Planets :)

bDwS responds:

I really appreciate that , the project was a bit too ambitious and I'd finished a good chunk of it , so pt 2 will be more of kare wondring around.
But I'm starting over for pt 3 to start fixing the problems and start expanding the story!

[GET UGLY]

Its very good. Its got the impact of a basically simple idea, with a nice twist. It has those little spots of detail, like the picture on the wall. The sounds, music and voices are GREAT.
There was something not 100% about the creature I couldn't put my finger on, but I read The X's review and he nailed it, a bit of shading/texture would have pushed it up a notch.

[The Past]

This is why, after all these years, I still guard the Portal. Whatever else I do while I am on Newgrounds, I check in at the Portal and VOTE. Often it is a slog and sometimes I wonder why I bother, then I see something like this...
Striking, interesting and perhaps thought-provoking, with quality music, sound and voices, it was enjoyable. I am not sure if I fully understand it, or even if it is meant to be fully understood, but I am confident it will do well here.
I enjoyed the different images you gave the people and recognised the plague masks. Its a grim world you have created.
I interpret the coloured images at the end as a metaphor for some kind of story-telling that brightens and gives something to their lives.

[Diacrisis Trailer]

Top trailer! I'm not into games much, but if I was at all interested in something new, this would certainly attract me.

I am usually very grumpy about anything which is a trailer because on Newgrounds it is so often a trailer for something that is never made/finished, but since you have something to play out there and this is reasonably entertaining in itself, I am more than happy with it.

The animation is limited by the gameplay, the voice is hard to hear at first, though it is fine thereafter, and hordes of zombies to fight is not exactly an original idea, but still...

4/5 is as high as I ever give for something which is actually an advert for something else, elsewhere but the sound, art etc is all fine.

Alucard responds:

Hey buddy, how you doing?
I'm more than grateful for your review, shows your upmost respect for my projects.
At the moment I just finished my ambitious tittle called ''Lost in Hell''!
It's a shooting side-scroller game, I'd be really glad you to check it out:

The game is in need of wishlists on Steam if you could do it or share to someone that can...
Would help a whole lot my career! Thanks man, take care!

[Sir Pig Intro]

ah now, you see, I'm always grumpy about scraps and incomplete things. You might expect me to blam something which is just an intro, but this is complete in itself and mildly entertaining in its own right. Its a good intro, though obviously its not much of a submission by itself.

[Literally Hitler]

I'm not even sure that I actually liked it, but I admired it greatly just the same !

Sound, animation, art, imagination, originality, VA, music, its all there.

[3 Days Worth of Work (On 5 Seconds)]

Come back with something actually finished and entertaining, please, not scraps

JimmyPlatoon responds:

Fair point

didn't have anything that I considered complete so uploaded something I just had lying around
