"Um. what?"

submission: The Owls

date: September 29, 2008

A combination of really bad animation and kind of bad music, but you put a lot of effort into this, and it made me lol. I voted 3, because while it was really rough, the animation was kinda awful, but it made me lol.

Score: 4

"MUST... STOP... ANNOYING... PIANO LOOP...."

submission: Concatenate! v1

date: May 5, 2006

My GOD that's annoying. It has to go. First I had to deal with it while the thing was loading, then it kept playing while I played the game.

Also, the game just isn't that much fun to play. Sorry, I can't tell if it's not fun because it's not well made, or if it's just that I was ANNOYED AS CRAP BY THE PIANO LOOP. Bah.

Score: 6

"It;s INFESTED... not invested."

submission: Pico vs. Sticks

date: May 1, 2006

Investing is something that stockbrokers do. Infesting is something that cockroaches do. I know, cockroaches and stockbrokers are very similar, but that's the difference.

Other than that, I have no complaints.

Score: 3

"Meh"

submission: Pico has a Tree House.

date: May 1, 2006

You could have lowered the sound quality and then it would have fit under the size guideline... I suspect that you never finished the sound, maybe you didn't like the sound of your own voice. But whatever.

The movie was boring as can be without sound. It really really needed sound. Also, the whole thing fell flat, the detention scene was what, 10 seconds?

The animation showed promise, so did the artwork. But it wasn't funny, it was kind of hard to follow (you should have shown what pico was doing, not just showing his head while he writes something that we can't see. Is he copying? Hard to tell.

Anyway, yeah, as I said... meh.

Score: 6

"I like it, but it's too quiet."

I'm gonna make a soundtrack for your cartoon, because it deserves one. If you want it, e-mail me, and let me know where to send it.

"meh"

submission: Pokemon Snot Green

date: February 27, 2006

I'm on dialup, so I'm likely to notice some things other people won't... Cheif among this is the music playing while it's loading. That's just annoying. I tend ot watch one cartoon while another one loads, and the music makes it difficult, which right away makes me dislike your toon a bit. I haven't even SEEN the toon yet, and already I'm predisposed to think it's going to be annoying. The saving grace is that the music did fade out at some point, at least there's that.

Ok, it's done loading, gonna watch now.

Meh. Not very interesting, not very funny. The sprite animation was well done, but since sprite animation is so easy, I'm not likely to give you many points for that. Try to come up with some actual jokes, rather than just having the characters be annoying.

Score: 2

"Eh"

submission: DeletePlz!"

date: February 27, 2006

Long way to go for something not terriby funny and a bit predictable. Some suggestions.

The person before me suggested increasing the framerate - that'd be a good idea, it's a little sluggish.

Also, there's not a whole lot going on while he's chasing Eggman, it's a long way to go, and then the spikes appear, and it's pretty obvious what's gonna happen there... And the joke falls flat because it wouldn't be difficult for him to turn around and go the other way.

The sprites looked fine, the music and sound effects sounded fine. The toon was just kinda blah. Come up with some ideas, or collaborate with someone with good ideas, and you could make a decent sprite toon.

Score: 4

"I see promise, but I'mah check "needs improvement""

submission: Cat (short film)

date: February 24, 2006

Your characters looked good, and they moved relatively well. That's the good news.

the bad news - The beginning lags to hell, and you really shouldn't have given the whole plot away on that first screen. Seriously, I finished reading it and was waiting for a long time for it to move on to the next screen.

then it got into the movie, and there were no sound effects, no voices, nothing. Okay, must be a music video, right? Nope. The song ended about halfway through the movie. That's annoying too.

Okay, then when they're running through the woods, yeah - it slowed down to like 2 fps, even when I dropped the quality to low. Too many objects that are too complex. You need to optimize your objects. If something doesn't need to move indipendently, it should be combined with the background, or whatever it moves with.

The rest of the movie had some speed issues as well, I'm guessing you've done no optimization at all.

But seriously, the artwork showed promise, as did your skill in animating the characters. You just need to get better at the mechanics of cartoon making.

Score: 2

"Work on your collision detection"

submission: Bloby

date: October 26, 2005

I got killed several times because I went NEAR a blob that was larger than me - I suspect your collision guides may be squares... Also, it IS fish, just a variant of it.

Score: 9

"Superb!"

submission: Cemetery Polka

date: September 21, 2005

That was really excellent. I enjoyed every minute of it. Only a 2.58? Man. Some of these people are far too picky. The artwork was simple, but the animation was great. The jokes kept coming and coming. Nice job.

I have nothing else to say, so I will write a limerick inspired by your cartoon:

In a house with a million cats
Lives a lady who's totally bats
She serves up her tea
With a side of old brie
That she keeps in a box with her hats.

Um. Well, whaddya want for off the cuff. It's got the right syllables, and it rhymes. Yeah! Later.
