I'm really disappointed that you used such amazing artistic skills in a very overused story... But still, your artwork is incredible, just be careful of animating for the point of animating. Like her falling down the stairs, and other small parts that seemed irrelevant to the story.
Keep on truckin' though, because you'll go far with that much skill!
=)

Loved the game, it was sick. And I don't think the AI is that bad. It was sort of annoying that enemy AI seemed better, but I got over it.
The only annoying thing was that almost every single enemy could heal itself. I swear the rock I kicked on my way towards the Baron just healed it self back up =/
It made the game basically a battle on how to outsmart the enemies by blocking their healing at the right time than an actual fight =(
But either way, you should feel proud that there's so much criticism. It means these guys are judging you on a whole new level. We're making criticism on the level of platform games, where in other flashes we go like "More blue!" or "I threw the ragdoll 200!" or "I played it for like 20 minutes~!". Here we're criticizing your musical score, artificial intelligence coding and such =)
On a minor note, when in stores, you should be able to switch to your partners and see their items. And it'd also be useful to see the stats of your items next to another items to compare.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to make this!

*SPOILERS*
The whole goth suicide thing is way overdone and a boring cliche. The song was too emo/whatever for me, the noose was predictable and I would've liked something more in the end making it more philosophical then her really dying...
But this video is only been done before in attempt, not execution. The whole goth atmosphere and suicide theme was only lacking originality because of the probably hundreds of flashes we see trying to accomplish what you did.
In a sense your video looked, but most importantly felt, like this was done before the topic had been overdone. The animation was good, and frighteningly smooth. Awesome use of the same picture many times but in so many different ways that we don't mind (front view of her eyes, cut up, with tears, second tear and so on...).
The noose being created was incredible. And though once we saw it we knew we expected it, the artwork was so captivating, as it wove itself from her tears, that we were totally spellbound and surprised. The constructive criticism I can give is few. Work a little bit more on characters' profile as it didn't totally match her from the front, and did not seem as well drawn. People might have mentioned it already but the animation of the guitarist was well... orgasmic... more of that kind of professional quality work would've been amazing. Also when her eyes are dark near the end and the screen sorta zooms out her eyes are closed, then zooms in for open. But in such a trippy ending that effect could've been psycho on purpose.
I'm going to check your other stuff out and again, great GREAT work. Everything is cliche nowadays and it's only someone ingeniously creative and unique that can take something we've all seen and make it not only their own but better than some of the originals.

Wow, thank you. Yeah I need to work on drawing the same characters from different angles and basically improve my animation skills as a whole, and I will. Thanks for the nice review with compliments and criticisms and all. It was very helpful and actually made me laugh as well. :)

Totally not your fault though... -.-...
I'm just spludgin' tired of that goofy chase scene song that's been a gazillion times overused... practically every cartoon has used it, but I was sooooo glad you didn't turn to the classic running from multiple doors/windows/gates/tunnels/ca ves with them coming from all different directions and then bumping into each other then the remix and repeat all again... *takes deep breath*...
I have no idea why people still think that chase scene scenario is funny anymore... arghh... but you only used it because he was chasing the guy :p
Anyway, now that i've vented :p
It was funny though, go NH! (MA neighbor here :D)

The game looks phenomenal, and fun... but...
My computer aint the best, but it's decent, and if I can play WoW in this a definitely should be able to play a flash game on LOW quality without having it lag indefinitely :/...
I'm sure the game is the best, but my scores are severely limited to what I could experience in the very short circumstances where I could actually play.
If you ever do work on that, I'll be sure to give you a proper score :)
Till then good luck!

Only constructive criticism is when the guy finally comes dressed out of shower it doesn't move as smoothly. And unless you wanted the funny look anyway the angle of the legs as they steps looked like they werent attached to the same body if you know what I mean :p Like | | instead of /\... XD can't explain it well but either way I doubt anyone would really care about that. Just so you can get even better :)
Showed it to everyone at work, school, and home :D It was soooo good :) It's short and to the point, and a good funny twist. You definitely put alot of work on it, and it really shows! Like REALLY! And we all appreciate the quality of the work :)
G'luck with future submissions!
Author's Response:
Thanks for showing it around! I've had at least one person say the same exact thing you said about the legs - I've got a couple things to tweak in the movie already so I'll probably look into fixing that too.
As for the not as smooth movement, I didn't do as many inbetweens as I did for some of the other animations, well...really because I just wanted to finish the thing haha. Thanks for the great review!

The graphics were good, the attempt was awesome, only one thing...
It's pretty much the exact thing as the game... You added one or two jokes and stuff... but I guess we're mainly supposed to laugh at the fact that link is played by some 30 yr old guy o.o...
It went too slow for the sarcastic or ironical remarks to really be funny, try skipping around, or a faster style :/
All in all definitely a good try though!
Good luck in the future!
