"Riddled with things that piss me off. So Addictive"

submission: Infectonator!

date: December 10, 2009

This game's got a few things about it that tip me off.
There's 13 stages, but good luck getting there, since it is so short.
If you mess up and don't complete stages 1-3 fast enough, you waste 10 seconds.
Sometimes, the infection doesn't hit anyone. At all. Four seconds wasted.
Other times, you infect people, then your zombies all die in a few seconds because LOLHEROES
Even still, you might have one retard zombie who just can't die who wastes 5 seconds NOT killing the people you need dead.

That being said, I can't stop playing this game. Bravo. That's the mark of something good--it keeps people playing despite defects.

Score: 4

"Huh?"

submission: *We Didn't Start the Fire

date: December 8, 2009

I understand that only so many even half-decent animations are submitted to newgrounds each week and so the front-page can't always be made of gold.
But seriously?

Animation: Basic techniques, reused models, actual pictures, and most of it was done in slide-show format. I opened this expecting some pretty dope transtions and fluid animation but it was mostly a flash/picture slideshow to a billy joel song. 4/10

Sound: Nice concept, but it's hardly original and since you just had to throw the audio on there I'm only giving you a 5/10 for this.

Entertainment Value: For what this peice is worth, it accomplishes little more than what the song does on its own. The supporting animation doesn't add much and isn't exactly a perfectly new idea, either. Close, but no cigar. 4/10.

Score: 2

"So, is 'collab' another word for 'terrible'?"

submission: The Disney Collab

date: October 5, 2009

I don't know how mediocre flash artists get off submitting things like this--and, suddenly, they get to all have front page status for something which is just as bad as the sum of its parts. I'm sure that meerly bitching won't merit anything, so here's why this collab is terrible.

Animation: All of the shorts featured mediocre animation at best. Very few frames, pans to one drawn image, so on an so forth. Really, it isn't anything new, and certainly not impressive. 3/10

Sound: The only place points might be gained is in this category, but some parts were ear-peircingly annoying and others required me to turn up the volume. A collab should have consistency, but that is a bit lost here. 5/10

Humor: Since this is supposed to be a humorous peice, I'll judge it on that standard--rather than action. Also, comedic flashes are supposed to be funny, right? This doesn't acheive that. Stale, overused jokes proliferate this collab, and the ones that are 'original' are either presented in an unfunny way or simply aren't good. Most of the jokes weren't even applicable to Disney at all. 1/10

Overall, the terrible animation was more laughable than the stale humor and the entire thing is flimsy on its own. One or two of the clips had potential to be funny, if worked the right way. Points for effort, but it seems like even that is a bit lacking.

Sorry for giving something other than a 10/10, frontpage Collab. I'm not as mindless as the usual kids on NG.

Score: 5

"Coolish?"

submission: Hillside Settlement

date: July 16, 2009

The animation didn't have too outstanding looks for something that only lasted a little while. A simple pan-out and frame-by-frame addtion doesn't add up to something too amazing. The music wasn't entirely befitting and there's not much to say about voices in this peice. For what it is, it does well, but as a flash animation, it's only so-so.

Score: 7

"Nice!"

submission: Pimp'n -11SecClubJanEntry

date: February 14, 2009

For what it is (an 11 second flash) it definantly acheives its point! I'd love to see all of your 11 second flashes, as they come out.
Definantly a great idea.

Score: 9

"I <3 Catface..."

submission: Cat Face 6

date: February 14, 2009

The punctuated jokes, quick humor, and clean animation makes Cat-face really fun. It's silly and unique and I like it.
Though, I'd have to argue that my favorite jokes are the 'random advice' bits at the end of each episode.
With smooth animation, good jokes, and a lovable cast, Cat-face is a great example for most flash artists! Also, being able to go fullscreen is a definite plus!

Nothing bad to say here, man, Catface Rules!

Score: 0

"Yet another terrible flash..."

submission: super marrio parodies

date: February 8, 2009

You've gotta love how he keeps crankin' 'em out and people keep on rating 10's.
You won't fool me, buddeh.

"Not Front Page material."

submission: Such is Life...

date: February 8, 2009

Despite the quality animation, this flash lacked so many things. The humor was dry, boring, and took way too long to punctuate. The flash itself just dragged on and on, rather than being quick and witty. Don't get me wrong, drawn out humor is great--when done right. When it's not, it just wastes time and is boring.
Keep trying, man.

Score: 9

"New, original, savy."

submission: Megaman - Rockin in paper

date: October 25, 2008

Great idea, great flash, works out nicely. It'd be cool to do a whole stage like that, but it looks pretty awesome.
Great work!

Score: 9

"Evil Genius Flash?"

submission: Mastermind: WC

date: October 18, 2008

Ever play the game 'Evil Genius'? It came out on PC in 2004.
This had a lot of parallels that took me back to that.
But, overall, Mastermind:WC is a nifty little flash game. I enjoyed the ending and the humor throughout the entire peice.
Looking forward to more like this.
