Coffee House Coffee House

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars May 6, 2009

Hahaha that's not bad

Definitely one of the funnier pieces I've seen here, while most other flashes falls flat the longer the animation drags on, your work felt pretty rich content-wise. The over all humor persisted throughout the entire scene, and you've successfully built quite a bit of suspense over the first customer, engaging the audience and rendering your work that much more interesting to the viewers.

Compared to the plot and humor, your actual animation was left with a lot more to be desired. Nonetheless, I find how you've animated the characters' expressions very well done.

One more note about your submission and I'll shut up. It is obvious that you've spent a deal of time planning out, thinking through the progression of the scene. Everything that appeared in the flash went along very smoothly - much as someone would expect in real life. Most of all, since the majorityof your jokes really centers on timing, I was pleasantly surprised by how you've had everything spot on. Great work. Keep it going.

Random Fight Scene FTW

"Plot" makes no sense whatsoever, but it's awesome nonetheless. Feels like an amalgamation of a couple of experiences...in a good way, if you will. Like 20+ into an episode of insomniac, endless marathon of DBZ coupled with a bad acid trip.

Nevermind how I've no clue what the hell is going on, the animation is awesome - fluid movements throughout the fight scene. Quite stylish in its own way. In fact, felt like the animation shared some great similarities with other popular cartoons, The music background is decent, but somewhat lacking - was expecting something more grandiose, epic even - which would definitely improve your flash's overall appeal.

I'd usually have suggested more of a storyline, but the pure spontaneity of the whole scene is beautiful in itself, and contributes a lot to the charm of your over all work.

i am actually glad you are telling me to have more story. because the story is right in front of you and you don't know it yet. i chose this story telling technique on purpose. there is an explanation for everything you have seen. the plot is very complex and unique. you'll see.


Day in the Life - Cthulhu Day in the Life - Cthulhu

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 15, 2009

Not bad at all dude

Interesting character, fairly decent characters & animation, the movements were quite fluid, giving Cthulhu a much more life-like appearance. The music background when they took was quite sublime - what song did you use? I've heard it before but can't for the life of me remember. Anyway, the conversations were mildly amusing as well.

Other than that, I really liked how the story was progressing. Depicting Cthulthu as your mild mannered average Joe getting on with his life...scarying the crap outta humans. Quite amusing what you have so far. Any chance you could continue the story, even turn it into a series? I see a lot of potential so far and it'd be a shame to cut it so short.

Thanks for the props on Cthulhu himself - I actually put in a good deal of time making the tentacles move independently of each other, and a lot of time getting a good shading on him.

What song were you asking about? The music when Cthulhu emerges was "Pruit Igoe & Prophecies" by the Philip Glass Orchestra. You may have heard it if you saw the film adaptation of Watchmen. The music at the end was the Star Trek theme from the 60's.

You know, a series doesn't sound too bad. I really like what I did making Cthulhu, and it would be a shame not to use such a detailed character again. I'll be sure to keep it in mind, or at least incorporate him into some other works.

Thanks for the great review! Marked as helpful :)

Novel Concept

and well executed too. I'm glad I checked out the game after seeing your message, though quite a bit late. Your style for creativity shines through brilliantly in this latest game, I don't think I've seen or played anything similar before, it's definitely a breathe of fresh air and has a lot of re-playability.
Mastering the controls make this game both incredibly challenging and adds a lot of depth to it, dodging the projectiles and shooting targets can be 2 entirely games in themselves, but you've blended them into one addicting game.

That was so incredibly retarded

Why not actually provide some useful info, instead of this b.s filler you've scrambled together in 10 min?

waste of time.

Great Game but a Bit Bland

Was afraid this was gonna be another random madness clone..definitely proved me wrong there! Nice game.

Everything you have already is superb: Decent graphics, easy controls, and the simple game will have players catch on quite quickly. Best of all, the background music you chose was perfect - getting players hyped up and adding more fun to your submission.

However, given the countless existing "Defend the Fort" type games, I was looking forward to some additions & unique add-ons to the game - something you can try and improve on. The same interface gets old after a couple of levels, with no new monsters, or weapon. If you plan on improving the game in the future, add some variety!

Beautiful & Divine

Almost flawless from a technical point of view, no obvious lacking whatsoever throughout the length of the piece. Really, this particular submission is a notch above your other work, it not only has all the elements needed for a good song, but also possess that special something that makes certain works simply magnificent.

What I liked in particular was the theme you chose for this piece - Even by itself, the motif is quite beautiful. Various repetitions did not dull this theme, and the added variety, with each reiteration, makes the entire song that much more divine.

Simple, Uplifting & Sublime

A simple sequence that you've reiterated quite a few times, but each repetition changes in just enough ways to sound refreshing, and the variety contribute significantly to a song so spirited & uplifting. I think you've achieved something very special here - a piece that can sound quite grandiose, but not so overbearing that it can't be lighthearted at the same time.

My only qualm is the part at 0:45 - kinda gets a bit repetitive, no? I understand you need a short segway into the next part of the music, but 4 repetitions can tiresome.

That said, I can imagine this piece being absolutely perfect for certain settings - like a menu screen background for a game. Nothing in dark and ominous genre, of course. Maybe a quick space-shooter, which I can't help but keep imagining this piece being perfect for. It can definitely hype up any player getting into a game & hook them into playing.

Has Great Potential

Was think it might get repetitive the first few secs, then the song took on another direction entirely :) Things really took off from there. I particularly enjoyed the part from 25 to 55 ish.

Awesome submission. However, aside from the segment i mentioned, which does kind of feel like what you're trying to portray, the rest of your piece feels a lot lighter, even upbeat. The latter half of your song actually sounds hopeful, and conveys a larger-than-life atmosphere - more fitting as some ending to an end game, imo.

You have a great piece here, but I felt like you had several great themes that can be expanded upon, even made into stand-alone works. The darker, moodier portion from ~ 25 to 55, and the lighter element from 55 on. Instead, you've woven them into one piece, where I felt you didn't give each theme enough time to develop. Perhaps lengthening the overall piece, adding some chorus here and there? Some of the things I've heard so far are pretty good, and have a lot of potential to grow into something more divine.
