Zornkatzu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[[TMBDT] Episode 12]

You Submitted This Earlier Today.

When you previously submitted this, I voted 2 because I thought it was pretty good and deserved a chance.

However, after it went through Judgement, you FILE-SWAPPED it into a travesty not even worthy of a 0. I wish I could trust you and give this a 2, but it seems you can't be trusted to follow the rules of the Newgrounds Flash Portal. Therefore, your ass has just been blammed!

BlueBeetClock responds:

no the travesty was always tehre

[Sonic RPG eps 6]

Hard, but NOT impossible!

The battle against Eggman is very, very difficult. However, after about 5 tries I have found out how to beat him.

Start off by using "Protect" IMMEDIATELY. I know it sometimes seems like it doesn't work, but it does.

Next, attack normally until the emerald is exposed, and use Triple Shot when he is charging. You have enough energy to use 3 G-Beams, however ONLY USE 1, IF ANY. They do a lot of damage, but drain your EP like a bitch.

Continue using normal attacks and Triple Shots as stated above, and heal when necessary (ie. you have 1500 HP or less). Once Eggman is down to about 4000 HP, you will probably be out of Triple Shots, but should still have a decent amount of MP. You should now use 1 Purple Vortex while he is charging, in addition to a normal attack. After getting hit, heal up, then once he is exposed again, use another Purple Vortex. Eggman should be more or less dead by this point.

Now for the review. I really like this series and can't wait for the next installment. I must say though that this isn't a true RPG, only because you can't work at your own pace. Really, the game guides you, and you simply decide the strategy of the battles.

However, despite not being a true-blue RPG, this is definately a fun series. Keep it up!

MidNightMaren responds:

Great Review! Thnks!

[Operation: Solar Shadow]

For Something Made 2 Years Ago, It Ain't Bad!

I liked your concept here, however this flash is limited from its age, graphics standpoint, and lack of dialogue. However, that considered, I am quite impressed that this was your first movie. All it really needs is some Flash 8 and drawing enhancements and it will be up to code, so to speak. Keep on learning and keep on making!

Nemo responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do like to watch this occasionally and see how far I have come with my Flash skills. It is my own personal memento! Thanks for the review!

[Super Mario Stuntman]

Not Great In General, But Nice For A 1st!

Graphics -- I will NOT deduct too many marks for sprite use, as I use them myself. The explosion and blood effects were about average, but did the trick. 6/10 overall.

Style -- An original concept! Nice to see sprite artists are FINALLY moving away from the Sonic vs Mario fights:P. Anyway, you came up with an idea, and did your best to fullfill it. 7/10

Sound -- Ahh, oldschool music. Gotta love it. It matched the movements of the movie and the quality of it was nice. 8/10

Violence -- For a first sprite movie, the gore effects were pretty nice. Far from perfection, mind you, but good enough to satisfy my liking. Overall, however, not a greatly violent movie. 5/10.

Interactivity -- 1/10 for the Play button. Movies aren't meant to be interactive.

Humour -- A funny concept that you adapted nicely. Now that your skills have improved, perhaps you could make a sequal, or an improved version of this one. Anyway, I liked the humour added to the movie. 6/10

Overall -- An original idea, and a great first attempt. In terms of room for improvement, I would suggest creating more of a backstory as to WHY Mario becomes a stuntman, and maybe create a more sensical ending. Not a bad first attempt (blew my first sprite flash out of the water).

6.4/10 --> 6/10

Casualty responds:

Great review, thanks!

[Barbequebeefburger]

I could be very serious....

and start going on about where you went wrong, and start reviewing graphics and stuff. However, I won't do that, because this is not meant to be serious. This is a simple little flash that really had no meaning. It didn't exactly appeal to me, but not a bad job at all! 5/10.

Bbqbeefburgerman responds:

Thank you for review.

[BatteryClock 1 (beta)]

Wow. If this is teh Beta....

I can't wait to see the full version (I'll have to view it next). Anyway, the 3D effects used were really well done, and the humour used in this flash was nice. Hopefully, the full version that was uploaded onto Newgrounds will be a bit longer, but other than that there isn't too much room for improvement (except for the blood which did seem a little wierd looking).

Anyway, not a bad CC movie! Keep it up!

DazFromTaz responds:

Thanks for a good review!

[Eternal Complexity]

Again...different!

Note: In my review of your flash "Cartman Drawing" I mispelled 'crop' and instead put 'crap'. Sorry about that :$

Now adays we see the same things come into the portal over and over again. This, however, is different. The drawings were superb and the animation was great! I liked the concept and, despite my gead hurting from the Eternal Complexity, genuinly liked this flash. In terms of improvement, since something like this hasn't been yet before (to my knowledge) there isn't much advice I can give you. Simply an overall good flash! Well done!

carmelhadinosaur responds:

Thanks!!
Lol crap :D
There actually were two things, one differnet from this one on NG, and one on a site with zoomed out pictures. Saw them after I made it o'course :P

['Asteroids' music video]

Well done!

A really unique flash movie. Ot was nice to see taht you added the Special Features BEFORE the movie began, giving the viewer something to do during the load (although the load is far from being long).

The drawings weren't the greatest, however because this was about a dream, realism in the drawings is hardly necessary.

In terms of improvement, there isn't really much I can tell you. The only thing I would perhaps improve would be the general length of ten flash (which in this case, was quite short). Other than that, it had just about everything! Keep it up!

Bezman responds:

review of your review: A good useful review.

Starting off with some general nods of approval, you then specifically praise the time when the special features loaded.

You made a vague criticism with reservations re: art.

Then you made a specific suggestion re: length before rounding off with a positive summary.

Though not very long (not that it's very short either), your review does have praise, specific criticism, and a summary. All the essential elements in other words.

You do have a typo in the 1st line, "...flash movie. Ot was nice..." but that's of little consequence.

It'd be nice if it was longer and gave yet more specific feedback on anything you may have liked about the movie itself or any other criticisms.

Is the length the only real imperfection? In what way could the art have been better? Colours? Technical analytical accuracy?

5/10

A useful review and one better than a lot of NG reviewers'.

[:]

Not a bad start...

although its a shame we won't see a finished version. I'm a little surprised that this flash has such a high score, considering its incomplete. However, the sprite movements were good and, despite not being VG music, the music was pretty good as well.

The only other thing I didn't like about the flash was there was really no backstory. Samus attacks Mario; Samus gets owned; Mario (somehow) goes to Mobius; Mario and Sonic fight. It just seemed a little too random to me.

I wish you would reconsider finishing this flash. The sprite work in it is top-notch, and would look good in a full, complete flash!

kinggila responds:

High score, clock day. Incomplete flash, clock day. Just blame clock day for not letting me complete this flash first before completing this flash. I was in the middle of creating this flash until I saw the clock day madness.

[Corrupt Voting Day]

Despite the lack of animation...

I found this pretty damn funny. Your accent in the flash certaintly matched the message you were trying to pass on. I also have to agree that about 90% of flashes pass judgement on Clock Day and many of them have very little effort put into them (minus those from regular authors and the REAL CC members). Anyway, I liked your idea, but I think it needed more. Perhaps next time you could add somne animation or make it a little more dressed-up so to speak.

-Mitsubishi-

Andersson responds:

Thank you very much for that.

I will add animation to the next Clock Day...

Anyways, thank you very much for your review.
