One-Dollar's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[My Clay House Episode04]

They keep getting better

Took me a while to get around to watching this, but its once again very high quality work. You have some real skill with action claymation. Right, I'm off to watch episode 5 now

[-laser-]

Hmm...

That was interesting, and pretty good in terms of matching animation and live action, though your acting wasn't exactly Oscar standard...

[Kirby Kombat]

Too short and a few problems

There were a few problems with this flash. Firstly, put some hit boxes around your buttons so that people don't have to click exactly on the text. The third enemy to drop down had a sword that went see-through when he swung it, and when Kirby cut a guy in half he slid apart at right-angles to the way he was cut. Also some parts were a bit slow (the Final Cutter sequence) and the whole thing was too short.

Otherwise it was well made, and entertaining. Hope you make more (longer) ones

[rainy morning]

Interesting

Interesting idea, and one that I personally quite liked. I'm not too sure its going to do well on Newgrounds though. You definitely have talent, so hope to see more, prehaps with more of a story line next time

[Santa aint coming(edited)]

Needs sound!

Okay; plus points were the drawing was fairly good, and the animation was also pretty good. The problem was the sound. No voices and it got out of sinc. Work on the sound and you could do some pretty solid submissions in the future

[fuel for the people]

Good, but music please!

I know this is meant to be silent, but it could seriously have benifitted from some background music. Otherwise a pretty solid submission and nicely animated

[Markdump]

Looks good

Why was the Newgrounds tank reversing in the preloader? Game looks and sounds pretty good - looking forward to it

Master-Light responds:

Sorry, i didnt make that animation complain to ketch15. Machine.

[Project Stick Trailer]

Waiting for the full one now...

That was a lot better than it sounded from the title and description. Can't wait to see the full thing (but let me guess, I have to...)

Squarion responds:

u dun lik the title (noooooo)

[Sandwich Flavored Soda]

Niice

Good animation, quality sound and a nice combination of strangeness and humour as well. Very good submission

[Tetris: The Apocalypse]

Very good, apart from some bits

You severely need to work on your audio optimization, 8.5mb is not a good file size for a beginner flash - its a big put off. There's some Newgrounds stuff about it on the site. Also you don't really need the Mario theme keeping playing after the movie has finished, cutting that out would save a few meg. Thats my main point.

Otherwise, (and I know this is sounding really negative so far), your titles were too slow, and I'm not sure you really needed to give the ball a name - it was, after all a yellow circle without a lot of personality etc - and it felt slightly childish, though thats probably just me.

The other few negatives I want to get over, before the positives: the graphics could do with a bit of work, and when the vortex was sucking bricks in, I think it should have been behind them rather than in front.

Positives - basically everything else in the movie. The amount of blocks flying around at the same time, the motion of the characters and bricks, the fact that it was fairly, but not too, long, the variety in the animation...

When I chose to watch this, after seeing the filesize and reading the description, I thought it would be rubbish, but it was actually really good.

Hope this review didn't sound too negative, and its given you some suggestions for improvments. I really did enjoy this movie
