"another great one"

submission: S13 - I Want It! Syndrome

date: July 26, 2009

i have liked all of your school 13 episodes because they bring an ubserd realism to everthing a ttenager is most likley thinking about or going through. your art style is fluid and welll exicuted giving u a unique style and allows you to stand out among many of the other quality flashes. your music choice as well as slight nods to video games also bring about a great joy allowing the viewer to know what kinda poerson is makeing these movies. really i can go on about all the good things about your animation but it was all just spot on. i even like that its in russian, it gives u a sense that every one every where goes through this type of stuff and i cant even tell if the voice acting is good so i just assume it is so thats a plus. :P

"good but ...."

submission: An Unfortunate Girl

date: June 4, 2009

as stated by others this didnt seem all its own and really seemed to take artistic direction from other films in this genre { i guess thats what these weird films should have}. the story was rather interesting though , and the lack of information realy has u wanting to know what happens, and what her illness is and all these other questions. good job though. i am amazed at how u got that windmill to look 3d though.

"felt like a classic"

submission: Frantic

date: November 17, 2008

this game at first seemed a little genereic for newgrounds shooters ut this one caught my attention fast as being different than the rest. it made me think of older classic shooters like galaxia, glaga, demon sword, even raiden[ without the destructable back ground] this game though doesnt feel time less however. i think it will be left and forgoten because, although amazing, nothing made it memorable like those games i listed before.

the music was perfect for the game. it made me feel like i was in an acrade playing a game that was very japanesey. in the classic japnaese shooter way not the waky game show steryotype of japanese media way. the music never ene got old for me it seemed fluid the entire time and kept well with the games style.

the graphics were stylized so they didnt really define any new ground [ no pun intended ]. i meen that they were good and went with the rest of the game but they never really seemed horrible or amazing. they were good and fit in well with the concept and idea.

the game play was well done i believe for its simplicity. well how can a top down shooter be a really complex game when all u do is move and shoot, you might ask. well the thing about this game is that it had the option to use a mouse to navigate and it automaticaly fired rounds. this made it a lade back not overly involving game. in a good way. the mouse has precicision like nothing else and that allowed me to navigate through bullets really well. i didnt try with the WASD controls because i had a fealling i would have died alot more if i did, and i probably would have.

the customization worked well for the most part but my big complaint is , well actualy theres two. one being is if i bought somthing and sold it ishould have been able to use it again without rebuying it. say i wnated to use sheilding one round and then use the wingmen then next but after that i wanted sheilding again. instead of buying it over agian i should have had it unlocked. i never had the problem of not being able to pay for it agian but still it seemes strange to buy somthing i already own again just because i dont use it. my other complaint is that i didnt get to try every thing out. see, i felt like if i changed my upgrades to mutch i would loose then next round and have to restart [ i never died so i dont know how loosing all your lifes in this game works] so i kept with the same ones only upgrading them when i could. this made me wonder if the other options were better or notm but never actually trying to see for myself.

i did have some slow down in the game a few times. mainly when i used that giant beem special. it slowed the entire game down 1/3. mayby my computers getting old but when ever i alot of shots where on screen i recieved miner slow down but slow down none the less. u did offer graphical options but im just commenting on my experience so no flaw on your part.

over all it was a great game that i wont revisit again. no sense of replay value except to use the other upgrades but the gameplay is to simple to warrent another play through.

Score: 6

"the idea was good but not really put together"

submission: Brain Food

date: November 17, 2008

i kind of understand what you were trying to communicate but you seemed to be lacking sense in some cases so it didnt seem coherent and at times i thought the idea wasnt even there. seemed like you were trying to be a little strange or out there in some parts by putting in random subtopics. this is all im going to say on the actual "story" though.

the graphics well... lets be honest werent up to par with some of the other flash's on here but kept a style throughought the entire move so they served their purpose to that extent. however like another reviewer said i think there could have been more frames in it to make it not so pupet like or linear.

the sound got anoying after awhile and seemed to loose emphisis every time it repeated. really i dont know what could make this better unless you took out the music and made it very quite so it still fit the mood and gave it a sense of awkwardness and kept questioning the situation.

the main char getting his hand cut in half reminded me of pans lybrinth but still felt its own in this animation and seemed strange at the same time because its not a common sequence in any genre that i know. hands being cut off are but being cut in half isnt as common but still not unheard of.

i did like that you had the two man playing with xbox controllers however. i didnt know that xbox had a game like that. [ im not a big fan of xbox, but im not a hater either im just saying that im not obsessed with them and im not a fanboy for or against them] see i think this is funny because in the last generation of game console the big system was ps2 and its controllers were used in advertising when people where playing video games but now it seems xbox took its place... although ps3 is poping up more and more.

"good if not overly corny"

submission: The Greatest Idea Ever!

date: November 17, 2008

at first galnce u cant really place where youve sen the red haired sientist before but after awhile i found out where dexter ended up. [ hence the dexter doll on his night stand, and for those of you that dont know there was a show about a red head scientist kid named dexter aand the show was called dexters labatory]

on to the flash however

i thought the choice to do it in an old cartoon over the top type of style was a good choice for this topic, it fit the subject well in the sence that its not uncommon to see cartoon science programs in this style. the jokes in it were predictable at times and not laugh out loud funny through the entire thing [ most flash's never make me laugh] but they fit and had a charm to them that didnt annoy me.

the plot was decent enough and the voice acting was pretty good but most of the actual flash wasnt that big of an essence.... i mean nothing really failed but nothing was amazing. the quality was above average though . really, there are no complaints here and the ending was quite funny , of course he did it for the lulz.... only every one died and no one laughed so he got no lulz.

Score: 8

"i liked it however it was nothing new"

submission: The Homeless Vagabond

date: November 16, 2008

ok first of i want to say i did like this animation along with the music, they blended together wonderfully and the whole thing together was flawless. its no wonder u won. but my only complaint is that ... the story has been done before in more moving ways in my opinion. now the story is simple and its wonderful at the same time its just, well even on newgrounds theres other flash's with a simliar if not identical story. i do like the story though, dont get me wrong, but u loose originality points.

Score: 9

"i agree a little with the previous reviewer"

submission: School 13 - Street Magic

date: November 16, 2008

see i think in the first school 13 alot of gamers could really relate to the life style this guy was living and that seeing it interpreted the way it was gave it a certain flare that is missing in the newer instalments because we arnt even getting a glimpse of his obsesion.

this however was good at first, it lost me when u killed the joke however, see after he started doing simple every day tricks ... well a few were reasonable but then when he broke his leg of it just seemed over done. i did however like the ending where the magician gets hit by the plaine. i for one was expecting that. i do wish however that i knew what the man says at the end, the one standing on the plaine...

over all though the flash was good as are all the school 13 flash's

"it seemed like every one had a story"

submission: The Doberman (Slynks)

date: August 1, 2008

i watched this about three times just trying to see if any one charachter would stand out among the rest but they all seemed to be there own entity. they all had lifes , friends, goals, ideas, they all just seemed to fit so well in that world that none of them should be excluded. mayby not main chars but they should still been in there.
