"Funny"

submission: Dan-Dark shorts: Cri Crii

date: December 13, 2009

This was a decent animation short, it had all the hallmarks of a classic with a nice original idea and some well done execution. The art was simple but everything was well drawn such as the humans and the bugs. Overall this is a decent flash with some well chosen music to go with it.

Score: 8

"Good"

submission: Zelda Files: Chapter 2

date: December 13, 2009

Nicely done, the flash is presented well with a comic-book style approach that moves down in panels. The sprites are clean and work extremely well to convey the story which while a little offbeat, was different enough to work. The music was charming, mingling well with the flash very well and helping the presentation, though a slight change at the end to symbolise Link's anger would have been a nice touch. Overall this is a decent flash with a good premise and presentation.

Score: 5

"Alright"

submission: Happy Go Lucky Bear Time!

date: December 10, 2009

Plays out like a sort of 'gag' Tamagotchi, though the three options lead to some bad consequences for the animal. The jokes are pretty stale but the animation and art is tight with a charming emphasis. Overall though this could have benefited greatly from some more options.

Score: 4

"Nice enough"

submission: Save The Village

date: December 10, 2009

This was fun enough, it felt basic but it worked and that's the main thing. The art however and the presentation lacked because of a time limit and that gave it a novice feel which didn't fit well, the gameplay also of clicking on the enemies felt sloppy and the smaller enemies were hard to kill in a swarm. Regardless its alright game if expectations aren't exactly high.

Score: 3

"Poor"

submission: Serenity in the night

date: December 10, 2009

This felt like nothing, it starts off nice enough with some soothing music and a long shot of some scrubland and some city before going into the stars - all of which is drawn rather charmingly, but then it cuts to a 'music by' and goes on from there with nothing else. A storyline would have been greatly appreciated.

Score: 3

"Basic"

submission: Aaaaaarghhh

date: December 10, 2009

There's only so much you could do with people screaming out 'argh' and this seems to be a rather diminishing way of going about it. Some well drawn people simply shout out on a black background to some music with little else going on, giving it a feel that a bit of tweaking could have made it at the most - a little more interesting.

Score: 5

"Basic"

submission: Pacman Win's????

date: December 10, 2009

Very safe and placid, this rests on just one punchline without any other sort of humour, a nice enough gag but its personal preference that really decides whether its funny or not, guaranteed its clever enough but overall the gag just wasn't that amusing.

Score: 6

"Alright"

submission: The Party!

date: December 10, 2009

Not so much original but it comes off as so and the joke is short and to the punch, it is however a little at odds with the animation and graphics which don't do the best job of presenting the flash, the sound effects are good enough but it feels as if, overall, it could have been spruced up a bit.

Score: 1

"Not good"

submission: Adv's of Restrom man pt1

date: December 10, 2009

Somewhat mixed reactions, the idea behind the flash is interesting but the way the artist has gone about presenting it makes it feel dubious. The animation is choppy, the art is simplistic and consisting of sticks and it moves so slow it gets boring almost right away. This has the markings of a classic idea with poor execution.

Score: 7

"Great idea and execution"

submission: Corporate Dummy

date: December 10, 2009

Well presented, this had a very subliminal feel to it with the soft pulsing music and the robotic-like voice which was low in sound. The art was good and the use of angles was a nice touch, other little touches also included some nice sections such as a character running up a line graph. The concept is thought-provoking and pretty profound, rounding off that whole flash perfectly.
