Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

The animation was very familiar, but had a couple extra 3D sequences that were very well done. I find when people try to blend 3D with 2D it really doesn't work, but you pulled it off quite well.

As usual the overall pace is a heavy amount of story, followed by a long battle, then cliffhanger, I think this works very well. The time between people watching the episodes is long, so it was good to be familiarized with the characters. Even though they are based on their original counterparts, you have added your own touch to the dialogue and actions of the characters to really make it yours, it feels less like a parody and more like an original.

The sound quality is fantastic, you use very suitable music for each scene, the battle music feels serious, but not like it's trying to hard to be intense. I find a lot of artists make the mistake of making the music too hardcore, and it sounds cheesy more than anything. I also like how you toss in the occasional screams, noises, and one liners from the games.

The story is simple, but engrossing enough to actually care about what is happening in the animation. There is one problem however, the dialogue does feel somewhat drawn out at times, sometimes they have 10 sentences of talking that could easily be explained in 2. Shortening up the dialogue a bit won't take away from the enjoyment, but just help keep your attention longer.

Your battle choreography skills must be at the peak of human capability to produce some of those scenes. Sonic's fire tornado move was so beautifully done and smooth that I wish I had an animated gif of it to watch it over and over. The flow was very fast paced, and yet, you never actually lose sight of what is happening. I find a lot of artist go too fast, and while it is somewhat aesthetically appealing, it is jarring as well and hard to enjoy on the same level as your animations.

Overall, this animation is phenomenal. Hard to add anything onto that other than that I am really looking forward to the next one!

And congrats on front page, you deserve it!

"Brilliant...."

I read all of these reviews with a flood of constant 10's, and was expecting a typical Cyanide and Happiness joke, that has to do with some sick random thing that most of the comics consist of. I am glad to see how wrong I was.

It is odd, this really doesn't feel like Cyanide and Happiness at all, it is smarter, not really intelligent humor, but it is a step above completely retarded, and I am glad to see that.

The overall look was great, the characters, while simplistic are rounded and proportioned very well, showing that you don't need to over complicate art to make it visually appealing.

The sound was well coordinated, with the music, voices and sound effects not overly loud (something many people cannot do properly). The voices acting was also very well done.

I enjoyed the humor in this because it goes in such a simple and obvious direction, but throws a few curve balls along the way. I never expected the Indy 500 to be what he was agreeing to, but needless to say it was funny as hell. Who doesn't love to watch someone throw up into their own trophy?

The ending was also, like I said above, brilliant. The animation was just long enough for me to completely forget about the bomb on the bus, but the second it exploded I burst into laughter.

Great work, I ignored this animation on the front page for so long, and I am kicking myself for it.

So why the 9? Shouldn't this be a perfect 10 like damn near everyone else? Not quite. The loss of 1 comes from something very simple, yet crucial. Many people cannot pay attention for long unless something entertaining is constantly happening. And while this animation is funny, the majority of the jokes and situations are only humorous. Simply put, this animation will get a chuckle for 90% and laughter for 10%.

That being said, it is obvious I am nitpicking, because there really is nothing else I could possibly use to have this less than a 10. Mostly because I don't believe anything deserves a 10, but this is damn near perfect.

Congrats on front page!

I like the animation, and the 8 bit-like character. This seems very much like SHIFT, while different in design, it is very similar in concept. I liked the little ratings given to the levels, for fun factor and difficulty, indicated by little smiley faces.

The little talking character is a nice addition as well, gives the game a sense of humor without trying too hard to be funny, and because the main character isn't very sociable, it helps to have a bit of text entertainment. The sound quality is good as well, and the overall feel is very retro, yet polished.

There is only one problem, and that is that the loading times seem to take forever to load a small level. I am not a big fan of puzzle games, so once I attempt one, a long loading time can make me lose interest quickly.

Even so, I'll give you an 8 out of 10 from someone who doesn't enjoy the genre.

Good work, this may be front page material.
