"Great cast, but fails to make the most of them."

submission: Edible Castle 10

date: August 15, 2008

On paper, this flash should be epic. The authors include the most prolific and skilled animators to grace NG, and they're all given enough time to strut their stuff.

Unfortunately, the premise is weak- and it simply isn't particularly funny. There are a couple of great deadpan moments, but otherwise it doesn't stand up to the rest of the series in terms of humour. In fact, it actually starts to get boring- which is suprising considering the talent involved. It also leaves out some of the best characters in favour of the much weaker and less developed- which is odd (considering it's the finale).

The animation and sound quality are excellent, so it earns at least a 7.

Score: 8

"Great stuff!"

submission: Biology vs. Chemistry

date: August 10, 2008

A fantastic and fresh concept- exectuted well with good animation, great voice acting and sound effects. Well done.

My vote is for Geology to throw down in round II!

Score: 10

"Best of all time? About time!"

submission: IF Round 4: vs Cyril P1

date: July 21, 2008

Finally your series has the recognition it deserves. Great animation, good voice acting and a trademark sense of humour...it's all here.

It's fair enough that you couldn't fit the catch-up cartoon in this time around- maybe a stand-alone release? To be honest, your links to deviantart more than make up for it.

Keep it up!

Score: 7

"Does exactly what it says on the tin."

submission: Explosion of Randomness

date: April 24, 2008

The animation quality has been explained and dealt with in the description- so no problems there. The sound quality is pretty good. But most importantly, it was funny enough to make me laugh- the use of 'apologise' was excellent.

You've found a good mix between funny and random. Keep it up!

Score: 8

"Excellent effort."

submission: My Trip to the Zoo

date: April 24, 2008

Witty, hilarious and clean- demonstrating that a flash cartoon doesn't have to be 'edgy' to get laughs. Audio quality is above average and the drawings are charmingly simple.

Great work!

Score: 10

"In a word: Stunning."

submission: IF Round3:Spoiler Vs Jeff

date: April 23, 2008

Without a doubt, this is one of the finest submissions I've seen in months. Great animation, distinctive art style, compelling narrative and a touch of humour- quite simply, it's the complete package.

A preloader text synopsis or recap would help newcomers catch up with the finer points of the storyline.

Keep it up!

Score: 7

"Good start."

submission: SC Guitar Maniac Dx 2

date: March 24, 2008

This game, as it stands, is a decent guitar hero clone. The song selection is good considering the potential copyright issues, and it handles well- with a crisp, clean interface. The timing could stand to be more generous though- casual users may find it difficult to get used to.

However, the GUI is extremely bland- more outlandish stick animations and a greater selection of guitars would help to flesh out the experience. Also, limiting the number of potential notes to asd & arrow keys seems odd on a full keyboard- why not make the timing easier but use all of the keys (typing of the dead style)? Just a thought.

Keep up the good work.

Score: 8

"Best yet."

submission: SSBB Theme Decoded

date: March 24, 2008

There have been...and will be...quite a lot of the 'decoded' SSBB theme tunes. However, the animation quality and syncing of this submission will set it apart from the crowd.

Excellent effort.

Score: 7

"Bizarre. Worrying. EXCELLENT."

submission: Tom's Easter orgy

date: March 23, 2008

It's bizarre. It's crude. It's worrying. But it's strangely compelling, and beautifully animated- very nice work.

The universe creation section could have been lengthened.

Score: 6

"Not awful."

submission: Retarded Animal Babies 20

date: March 22, 2008

This is a good looking flash. It's got great backgrounds, smooth animation, decent sync- great stuff.

However, the jokes are still rely on the 'cute animals swearing and doing gross stuff' principle that's getting a bit old now- and it tries to get far too clever at the end. Then again, it made me laugh a couple of times...so it did it's job.
