[Bahamut's BDAY Flash]

Hmm what to say with this one

Its a funny and amusing one, there is not much going on but the "MUSIC" waspretty amusing and cute, and in some ways it reminded me of some mexican song lol, i like all the random things that are going on makes for a cute flash and pretty entertaining, Some of the ladder medals seemed abit harder i guess thats how it should be maybe it was a area of clicking or something, Now i would think that you would put in a fewmore "MEDALS" since this was rather longer then normal, but again i thought it was funny and amusing, good sourse of amusment though, and as for more helpfull tips, you should allow for some "SCROLLING" so the user can scroll thru-out the party scene and in other parts of the room and all that would be intersting and maybe more fun for all, just something to think about in anycase, so anyways it was a fun game, i liked the medals, and while it could have used more it was still a fun experience.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some more medal otions, maybe even allowing to scroll around the room for even more party fun.

Hacsev responds:

That's actually a really nice idea. Thanks for reviewing!

[Super Wrestle Night Xviii]

Interesting but could use more effort.

And we have a good entry here, allthough it could use some better stuff here, There was some interesting parts, not great but still ok, but with some more effort this could be something special so take your time with it and add that extra effort and it will pay off in the long run, Well this was not exactly funny, it was ok and could be alot better, I beleive that the jokes could have been executed alot better as they were somewhat dry and just needed more better direction and so-on But that was one area that can really be improved on. This was kind of interesting, but seems to lose the interest level and again that comes to the fact that it needs more humor. but anyways good flash here but does need that extra touch. I like what you have presented here, there was some interesting elements to this, there was some quality to it, but i still feel it lacked some points, maybe that will come thu better with some more effort throughout, Now dont get me wrong i did enjoy this and had fun with it,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Now with some improvments this could be a nifty lil flash it could really be something but i would like to see some ideas and suggestions pushed through, and some of the ideas are pretty simple and basic and can make this bloom into something really special, so try a few ideas out. Needs more animation, needs some more humor and better direction of jokes and all, the whole flash actually needs more of abit of everything.

hillrdavid responds:

Very good. Thank you.

[Stickman Can't Fight 2]

Random and amusing

OK so i found this one pretty amusing and there was alot of funny moments, the "MUSIC" was pretty kicking, i noticed alot of basic sounds as sound/fx, also the backrounds could have been better most were just white ones the episode here was not too short and kinda flowed along with some decent action and some random humor wich i reallygot a kick out of, maybe you should use smaller "STICK-CHARACTERS" so that you can show more detail in other areas aswell, But anyways a good and entertaining submission you have here, i look forward to more.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some more details here and there maybe some facial details on the sticks as they fight, and some backround detail could also happen.

guitan11 responds:

check out the latest episodes! i think i cover most of what you thought needed improvement ;)

[Double Dragon DragonsTale]

Love it

First off good flash here, you made it very entertaining and it was alot better then i originally expected, The "SIE" was massivly huge, but i guess you needed alot to it, it does look like alot of high quality and that shows, the art was notbad, and the animation was actually alot better then expected like i said before, but i really like how this moves fast and flowed well with all the art and animation so i was pretty pleased with everything going on, so nice efforts all around, Voices were really good and things again flowed well as i mentioned, So as for improvment I dont kknow other then cutting down the file size somehow, but other then that this was pretty good stuff.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Entertaining flash kind of large in size maybe it could be cut into 2 epsiodes or something.

kalabor106 responds:

Yeah the MP4 sizes are a bit big this project was so huge that flash crashed about 80% through the publishing that MP4 was the greatest thing to happen. I'll have to mess around with some of the compressions thou on my next projects and see if I can cut down the size with very little lose to the graphics. Glad you like this :)

[Maximum Happiness]

This was pretty decent work

and as i get started on this submission entry, i found it entertaining it even gets better as it plays thru and such, Now while its just the start of things i think you really have something here, so keep going with that. But I like the creativity in this with the large creature causing havoc everywhere and so on, it was pretty amusing and gave me a few laughs here and there, the "VISUALS" were pretty fantastic i was just amazed at how everything was happening and you really pushed the effort here and thats what i really liked about it, So what else can you say about this, its amusing and entertaining and had some nice visual graphics so from start to the end it was pretty good entry.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
And so this is where I suggest a few ideas on the good and bad points hoping to find and give some good points that can generally make this a lil better, but if not it was a decent flash in anycase. As for this submission i didnt really find much or anything at all, it was a pretty decent entry and is a stand alone submission, so at this point i would just say great job and hope to see more from you soon.

Brewster responds:

Thanks! I appreciate the review.

[B-Lated ClockDay Post-It]

Nice work

Now before i get started on the details and such, I just wanted to say a few things in a more enlightening way of the flash, first off it was a refreshing flash entry and showed off some decent skills here and there and whatnot, So for what i got out of this it was pretty positive, allthough later you will find some helpfull ideas, tips and suggestions that may help make it even better so try them aout and never be afraid to try new stuff. So first great job on this "CLOCK-DAY" Entry its always a fun day and see what comes thru, The differant toons you have here are all kinda neat and quite enjoyble, so it was nice that you added a few short animations in one flash that is good quality controll, The animation here was abit differant i guess because it was more then animation but i do like how you presented this, it was interesting though, Audio was pretty good here there was a "WIDE" mixture of audio uses and such wich actually made it alright so that was something good, There was some "STATIC" Sounds with some of the music but it was little to non, and not a real issue, And i guess the whole "VIEW-SCREEN" could be larger it would allow for more detail to show and bring a tad more quality to everything. And so here we have something differant and with everything going on you really bring out the quality,So i am loving the unique style and it stillbrings some entertainment value and that was all a plus, and really just kept me interested from the getgo, so props to you on a decent flash submission here, hope to see more from you. Ok so here it is in a nutshell as some may say, thiswas notbad, and there is some room for making things better and or improving on a few points, both positive and negitive points in this flash, but i liked it all, but anyways here are one or two ideas and improving on this would be great.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So I actually found this to be an entertaining flash sumbmission, I did see a couple of things that could have been re-worked with a tad more effort, so i gone ahead to try and find some lacking points and do hope you consider looking into them as it will just add more quality, but anyways heres an idea or two. Some static was around but it was not a big thing maybe some looking into this would be great.and a larger view screen would be a plus.

ToonCastleTV responds:

Thanks for the very fair review - I'd very much like to try this type again sometime soon =/ but I think larger paper will have to be used, probably animation paper and I have a higher quality camera these days so maybe it will be epic if I have a chance

[Chrismissed DE]

Somewhat funny, and random entry

So first off let me start by saying its a pleasure to see stuff like this, given that its not perfect and is not the worst either and there are some areas that can be worked on for improvment but i have to admit that for the most of this i found it amusing and pretty good, so i was actually glad i had the time to check this one out, So with all that said Lets really get into this. I really like the randomness and strange feel you put into this that really got me interested, The jokes were amusing but not overly amusing, there are some areas with jokes that you could execute them better and just overall make them more "FUNNY" Random Animation you have here, i found the randomness to be a blessing if you will, it made it differant and more interesting, thats something you may want to go with more. The "STORY" here was welladpated and i took a liking to it right away and found that it was pretty good, keeps you interested and not easily bored, Graphics was prettygood, especially with some of the backrounds showed lots of effort on your part and detailed wffort if i say so myself. Effects is something that you could work on abit better, just a few effects here and there, maybe the blood, and some other areas throughout the film. And then there is the Animation and to me it "FLOWED"perfectly bringing everything together so i had no hangups there as you have shown lost of effort here and especially in the animation. Ok so with This and that said here on a few things, I came to find that this submission was kinda nifty, somewhat entertaining, but generally i found it to be a worth while of a flash movie, and i can see how you have put your efforts across the boards, and hope to see even more from you as this was a pleasent flash.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So here we go with ways and ideas to improve always the hardest part of the review for me as i dont want to nit pick on every detail but try for some of the basics, But there were a few spots thats could be cleaner, smoother and finner so Hope some of these tips do help and would be nice to see changes in the near future. So the "JOKES" could be funnier and come to gether better, they were needing better execution im guessing, And something on a small scale maybe some more effort on effects like blood, maybe some random props aswell.

ToonCastleTV responds:

Hey man thanks for the review! I definitly agree some of the drawings weren't the cleanest - a lot of the drawings were slightly rushed and back when I didn't care as much about my line quality which I think you'll find very much improved in future animations. It's true I spent a lot of time on some of the backgrounds, and you're right in thinking that this could have been pushed a lil more, I think I grew a lot making this piece I hope that you can see that with future work =)

[1 Take 1 Loop]

Random and amusing

Well so its not all the time you see flash works like this especially in a movie form so i was actually suprised with how you presented this and how you let it flow from start to the end, So in that aspect of things it actually does get off to a decent start, Ok so not fond of the loop but guess thats the "IDEA" of it all and such, Frame by frame is tricky and odd its good animation just not always succesfull, but for the most part this was still ok. There is actually alot going on here and the animation seems to flow with every next scene so nice effort there. So The "MUSIC" was in good taste and as for a looping type of flash it seemed to work, The music also seems to fit the FBF style. I was really impressed with the "STORY" really looks like you put the time in on it, showing that a little effort can go along ways, so the story was greatand had some nice depth to it. but it also has some randomness to it and thats was notbad either. The Artwork was ok, but the animation seemed more of a strong point in this, maybe if you can smooth out some of your linework on the drawings it might come together abit better. This was a nice Flash submission had some artistic value and some sense of humor, and keeps youinterested aswell as entertained, there were some areas that could use some more clever ideas and tips, but that also comes with most flash submissions, so maybe below i will have a few ideas for you, but regardless of this all, this was actually notbad of a flash entry.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This was a good animation it has a smooth side of things and the style and direction was ok, but i believe that there needs to be an even smooth effort on things, the flash was decent, but i must say there are still some clever ways you can make this better, such as using varias ideas and advice that will in the endmake this more quality then it is, just something to think about, So as for some improvment changes maybe some better drawings and line-work, but besides that it was alright.

Carr77 responds:

Thanks for the long comment (I love those), and you had many good points and ideas :)
I will think of those in the future :D

[Adrellia Village #1]

So I thought i would checkout this little series of yours seems like you have alot of episodes here wich is notbad at all, I like the fact that these are not real big in file size so thats a good start sofar, Graphics was lacking in some areas, mainly in the characters they were more on the "SIMPLE" side of things, but still coulduse for some greaphic enhancments like more shades, more small details and more personality to the characters. Voice acting is always a touchy one, the ones you had were so-so, and could use more depth and quality in them, more emotion and more sharper sound quality in the voices it may have been the lip syncing aswell, but thats something to look into, The plot was simple and seems like it could use more depth more stuff going on more things to keep the viewer really interested in your movie, Give more info on characters, places, and when, these are something that could have more depth to them. The "JOKES" and humor to this movie was notbad but also seems like you can put some more effort there in bringing more humor and really just bringing some laughter out from the film itself, So i understand this is just the first episode in along series of episodes i do look forward to seeing more of them, this particular episode just needed some more excitment something to really set the tone for the rest of the series.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So while this was a pretty nifty flash movie here there were some tweaks and changes that can be addressed, as mentioned throughout the review aswell as here, you can put that extra improving for an overall better outcome with some more quality added, so here are some things i found lacking and or needeing some changes. so First off the voices as mentioned need some work The characters could use some "DETAIL" aswell, It was abit short, maybe later episodes have more detail, depth and much more plot to the "STORY" Then there was the jokes wich could have been executed much better,

MistyE responds:

thanks for your review. this flash is pretty old, episode 39 is a pretty good example of the type of thing i'll make now. it was based on a novel i wrote, and at the time, my main focus was a serious story-driven series rather than a humorous one.

thanks again.
