"Yeah...... No."

submission: Biscuits and Tea <*>

date: July 9, 2008

Done to death by better mixers, with ten times the effort.

Score: 7

"A well-executed concept."

submission: Slide Maze

date: July 9, 2008

Not the prettiest game around, but it's well programmed and makes good use of a relatively original concept. You should be proud.

Score: 6

"A (slightly) unique parody that's good for a laugh"

submission: OMG! SMB Mishaps!

date: May 3, 2006

Well done for trying to be different by using All-Stars sprites, it gave your movie some uniqueness amoung the countless other Mario Blooper movies out there in the NG archives. You didn't try to be too ambitious; you've kept it simple with a few smart-but-shallow jokes, so it's good for a few laughs when watched. Try a longer movie, and see if you can climb that Daily Top 5 a little more.

Graphics: Gives a well-deserved airing for the improved sprites of Super Mario All-Stars.

Style: Animation was smooth, and the camera always seemed to be in the best place.

Sound: SM:AS music abounds here.

Violence: LAWL MAETRIX FIGHTS. It's been seen in pretty much every Mario parody to date, but at least it wasn't used in excess here.

Interactivity: Where else but a menu and a movie control panel is this ever needed in most flash movies?

Humor: Not groundbreaking, but will make you chuckle if you've not watched 15 similar movies beforehand.

Score: 7

"Gripping and difficult, but short and repeditive."

submission: the ugly

date: January 4, 2006

I haven't played very many point-and-click horrors before, but this was worth it in the end. I probably died in every way possible before I consulted a previous review to see where I was going wrong.

Sound is key in these games, and it is used to great effect here. The graphics work well up until the final part, when a photograph is mixed unsucessfully into the hand-drawn style. And although many viewers will not find the game graphic enough, the quick cuts and awkward camera angles are the style of violence you would expect in horror thrillers.

In the end, having to repeat the same steps over and over became tedious, but it can't really be helped. Perhaps if it took longer than a few minutes to do one run of the game, you could 'checkpoint' it at major points along the way. (I'm hoping that The Ugly 2 could last longer than five minutes, even if you do a speed run)

Anyway, in short, good game, unpopular genre.
Don't turn on the TV.

Score: 7

"Not 'lol' funny, not too offending, but still good"

submission: Pallid Fingers 2

date: December 20, 2005

Wasn't a very effective parody, in my opinion. It was more like 'The Regular Adventures of My Normal Characters; Featuring a guy that looks like Salad Fingers'. Even if you pulled off a more accurate parody, you'd probably attract the same amount of flaming fanboys, so there's not much that can be done anyway.

Anyway, besides this, the movie flowed pretty well. Generous chunks of random humor all over the place, and believable (if not limbless) characters. Try to have more going on during your scenes in the future, as I can imagine a lot of people will be bored during the slow talking parts.

Score: 7

"Kept getting better the more I watched."

submission: The Holiday Heist

date: December 6, 2005

Brilliant little short, and if I'm right in guessing that one of you recorded the story and one animated it, then I can say that they matched pretty well. The grumpy old git probably deserved that anyway. Good job.

Score: 7

"Not bad, but not good."

submission: The Alphabet Song

date: November 11, 2005

I spent the duration of a movie with a skewed look on my face. This is more 'shock' humor than 'lol' humor, and it won't suit everyone. The main character should look more like Michael Jackson, then we could submit this flash into his collection page....

Score: 8

"K-Kefka! Horseshoe! Evil Plan! Marshmallow!"

submission: Skittles N' Bitz 7

date: November 2, 2005

No retro game knopwlege requires here, just a taste for random humor. (Although you might enjoy it more if you recognise the characters) Brilliant series, don't ever stop making them! Or until Newgrounds freezes over, whatever comes first. You can tell from my summary that I enjoyed the FF part, though Megaman fans will find his part funnier.

Consider yourself in my favourite authors.

Score: 7

"Great idea, wrong way to do it."

submission: lordofthematrixwars

date: November 2, 2005

Okay, it was funny, but not very. You made good points with your looped movie clip characters, but I thought I'd get to see a few more characters, or something laugh-out-loud. Since when was Cloud (gonads and) Strife in pop culture? Sepiroth would've been funnier.

Good work though, I hope that your standard improves.

Score: 8

"Great mix of styles, a collab well done."

submission: Metroid: The collab

date: September 26, 2005

Cheeks' section confused the hell out of me when I watched it, but I later figured out it was to do with the baby metroid. (I've never played Super, I started on Fusion and Prime) Each artist has brought something to the table in their own style, whether it be a mix of comedy cartoon and seriousness (Mental-Myles), a sprite movie (Maxyboy), kick-ass FBF (DJJ-Asshole, Keicho and Wasamonster) or even a little Newgrounds tribute (24k).

Metroid fans or not, most people would say that this deserves the highest praise. (Though non-Metroid fans would look confused as well as this.)
