[MarLo]

Lacks a lot

Storyline: Mario is about to finish the level and is sniped by Master Chief who then takes the flag and somehow it magically ends back up on the stick and he somewhat humps Mario.

Audio: Kind of meh since I couldn't hear the songs too well but heard the sound effects just fine.

Animation: Sprites, I know you're attempting these only until you get good with flash but it doesn't happen magically, instead of just using pre-done sprites try to create some of your own sprites instead. A UPS Mario and Orange Master Chief could have proved to be amusing and the dimensions for width were a little messed up as well.

Overall: I really don't see why these types of flashes are popular, yes I see a lot that were worked on greatly but this didn't seem to make the cut too awful great, it was far too short. Also the sprites were kind of dull, as in THESE are the kind of sprites I see all the time.

Hopefully you can improve in the future, so-so animation here.

Thanks for the submission, I have benefited from this review. This was a first submission for myself and I completely agree with you, it is surprising to see many fans of this type of work.

Cheers!

[Back Off]

Decent effort

Animation: Wasn't the greatest in the world but it was a very nice effort you had put into it to give people a decent chuckle anyways. However if you're stil lworking on flash it's a decent start off anyways.

Storyline: I'm guessing there's no real plot, just a couple of random parts here and there.

Audio: You speaking of course, sounds kind of silly on the last piece, indeed that one was silly.

Overall: Still a lot of improvement that can be done in the art area, spend some time getting more use t o drawing with a mouse and then come back and make a new flash, good luck.

[Shadowman & The Garroter]

Somewhat creepy

I've honestly seen creepier things but this kind of gets you at the last minute with the head being chopped off of the guillotine and the head laying there while you expect the eyes to open up and scare you witless.

Animation: Looks very much like that of Salad Fingers in way of animation except a lot more squiggly lines to outline where the thing or person is at which seems to help out a bit near the end only, what was up with the tree's shadow?

Storyline: Apparently it did something wrong and ended up getting it's head on the guillotine and killed.

Audio: Somewhat creepy but could have gotten even better audio or made one yourself to make this even more creepy.

Overall: This seems to be pretty good but it was too short and should have been a bit longer, could have added a talking person who was cutting the head off.

[Madness Combat 5.5]

Even more violence

Animation: Same violent animating as always, I always wondered though... how long does it take to make the blood splatters? Everything else looks extremely cheesy but the blood and red background in this make it look like it took awhile to animate.

Storyline: The origin of the two madness people who eventually come to trying to help Hank stop the clown who seems to be a demi-god unlike savior. They seem to be stuck in a haze though because nothing in the madness universe seems to make sense.

Audio: Very nice music it was, fitting for almost the whole entire piece you did here.

Overall: Could try to put more explanation in the author comment section so people can get a little better understanding of what's going or so they can catch up if they missed a part.

[JPB '09 Animation History]

Kind of meh..

Animation: Indeed you've gone through improving over time but you can still do a lot of improvement. As for the sprite section could have added a bit extra to both characters to give them a little bit more of a custom feel to it. The Hobb from Calvin and Hobb seemed to be alright for decent animating.

Storyline: Pretty much just you showing us three steps you've gone through in animating, learning, pixels, and finally just animating without use of pixels what so ever. Seems to be alright I guess.

Audio: Seemed to be fitting for only the second part with pixels, the music just before credits was certainly odd but made me giggle for a moment.

Overall: Even though these are phases you've been through you can still improve heavily.

JPB responds:

Thanks, i just wanted to see what people actually thought about my animation, since the score lies a lot sometimes...
as for adding to the characters in the sprite part, i've actually made the twomp an angry faic twomp, but i guess that people didnt really noticed that, although i understand what you mean...
--thanks

[Get on My Horse]

Silly as usual

Animation is the same cheesy thing as always which I don't think will ever change at all. How you come up with silly tunes to memorize the populace also amazes me as well since after about ten minutes the flash easily wracks up about 20k views or so and ends up on the front p age almost every time as well.

The lyrics are pretty cheesy and the dick part was kind of silly, selling horse piss as lemonade was also pretty funny as well. Who was voicing the women and how can a horse taste just like raisins?

Overall this is flash that could possibly lighten your day up if you're feeling a bait down, it was quite enjoyable I guess.
