School 13 - TongueTied School 13 - TongueTied

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars January 8, 2010

Daaaaaw : 3

I'm giving you a 9 because you should not have edited out that ending. >: <

I would have played it after the credits rolled so it didn't blend with the action of the main piece. Then you could have retained the simple, romantic cuteness of the now finished product with a downright hilarious "P.S.".

Betond that no complaints, other than I noticed you didn't fully animate the walking, making it apear stiff. Props to you, dude. Quite a lovely piece of work.

Heh heh heh

Good for a few laughs, just not the best thing I've ever seen.
BTW, am I the only one who went all nostalgic when he heard that song in the credits?

Rina-chan, whatever you do, don't stop pestering people to make these!



The Last Fight The Last Fight

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars January 19, 2009

You have no idea...

..how much I want to give this a perfect score.
Old-style animation is hard (believe me, I've tried it.) and I'm glad there are still those adventurous enough to give this slow, tedious process a shot. I also noticed the way you reused the same pictures. This is a method used in Anime, where animators don't let short time and low budget stand in the way of producing real, cinema-style moods and atmospheres. My hat's off to you, good sir.
Now the bad news. I think perhaps you were a little too conservative with your drawings. There were many places that I think multiple variations of poses were called for. I also noticed that you didn't fully animate the action, but instead covered impacts with flashes and special effects. While this is a good strategy when dealing with hard-to-draw head-on clashes, I think you overdid it, leaving something to be desired in the action department.
You did an OK job with the plot. I can tell that wasn't the focus of such a short video, so all I'll say about that is the key to telling a story with no words or back-story is to be expressive. Your characters eyes were covered the entire time, and up until the end they wore the same dire expression. Hard to relate to a brick, no matter how much someone screwed with his poor brick brother.
I think you picked an excellent song for this vid, it really set the mood for me. All I can suggest here is since it's a music video, maybe next time you should try matching the action to the beat of the music.

To be honest, I think you would have been better off animating this particular video in flash. It's just easier to get the action right without having to bend your mind around a bunch of still frames that ocupy a time span of about 2 seconds. (For a reference, check out Alvin Earthworm's "Super Mario Bros. Z". He pretty much sumarizes all my points about making awesome videos in flash. ;) )

If you ever want to try this kind of thing again, I recomend getting a bunch of your friends together and making it a group project. It's amazing what you can do when you put your heads together. :D

Forgive the wall of text, and good luck on all your projects, whatever they may be!

I think I just set a record for everyone here. :P
Great game, very relaxing, my only problem was it got kinda boring. (In fact the only reason I died was because I got bored and gave up) Physics feel natural, and the gameplay was interesting. Your intro was also kinda funny. Good luck making your other games!

Priginal and intuitive

This is a game that draws you in, then fucks you up. The puzzle solving is addictive, and every single aspect works into the idea of one huge time paradox. Very cool!

I am curious though, how do you get the bad ending?

Very Interesting

I'm starting to enjoy this trend of non-violent games on Newgrounds.
Sometimes, in order to have fun, all we need is a good old fashioned platformer. :D
It had excelent controls, and the general mood created by the art and setting was very enchanting.
Great game!

Popple an Circumstance Popple an Circumstance

Rated 4 / 5 stars January 25, 2009

Interesting...

My first impression was a jumbled mix of electronic sounds, but it didn't take me long to recognize the two themes. Very creative! Keep up the good work!


Ihsman07 responds:

Hey, thanks. It's nice to hear compliments on my work. For that, I give you an 8/10 on your comment ;)

NA NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA NA!

Dang that's a catchy tune! I think you overdid it with the electronic sounds, I was developing a headache after 30 seconds. XP Pretty good, but still plenty of room for improvement.

That's right, thanks for the comment =D

You've earned the all powerful 9!

Trust me. Nines are far superior to tens.
I love this song, it made the Popple fights so much more enjoyable!

Also, to the guy 2 reveiws down, trust me, I feel your pain. I was level 33, and using 3rd stage brothers' attacks never even crossed my mind until the final battle against Cackletta. (Stage 3 Chopper Bros. is like a round-house-kick from Chuck Norris. :P)

Great song, man! We all apreciate it!
