.....Of all the things I've lost..... I miss my mind the most. I like to think I give high quality reviews, so ask for one from me. I'll even use proper english.

Although my computer handles pretty well, and I've got a decent internet, I found that the preloader was as long as the flash. That's never a good sign. I liked the quality of the animation, but like rafcor says... that was rediculously short. Your sense of humour's different than mine, and that's kool, but frankly, my money's on the preloader. I liked it better.

"Good Animation, Surpisingly Good Voice Acting."
I liked a lot about this game, and only found two faults. Not enough variety in the units/spells, and the fact that if you send a man into combat, he apparently deserts when the combat is over. Where did my survivors go? If I sent more men into combat than the enemy in real life, it's called "using my superiour resources", but in the game, it's apparently instant death. I lost more men that way than by the enemy killing them.

"Dissappointing, and not up to current standards."
While a decent flash, it was just not up to the standards currently set on Newgrounds. I don't mean to be offensive, but I hardly believe it deserves the 4/5 it achieved. One thing I always look for in flash animation, ESPECIALLY animation set to music, is timing. Theres a scene where several outlined people play something that vaguely looks like a violin. Not really, but sorta. The internet is EASY to access these days. Look up a picture, spend a tiny bit more time, make it look more realistic. Put some effort into it. I know you can do better. Also, while I admit its probably more effort that it's worth to look up exact fingerings, you could at LEAST time it with the video. The hand movement was completely random, and off time, and it was dissappointing. It shows. Lastly, the homeless scene? The.... lets say protagonist of the scene, seems waaaay too happy about being in pain. Sure, it's nice to find someone who understands. But it's not happy hour. It's always surprising howmuch fixing up the little things can improve a flash. Overall, I though it was decent, but too simplistic for the epicness you set it up for. Also, the first MINUTE was an ad for your site. I can't approve of that. Shorter ads are just as affective, and are less annoying. If people are really determined to memorize your site, inspired from your flash, they'll WATCH IT AGAIN. Anyways, decent effort, decent flash, good job. Get the little things nailed down next time.

Well, thats a bit harsh for someone that doesn't have any flash to show for himself. We worked hard to make this, so why would you put us on such a low level?
You offer alot of explination as to why you gave us such a grave score, but most of it is gobble dee gook and totally irrelivant. I mean a 3?! That is completley rediculous, maybe for your next review you should review it for what it is, not for what else is on the net and these "standards".

An amazing flash. You almost scared the heck out of me for a bit, when I realized there was an animator out ther with a sense of TIMING :O !! No offense meant to other animators. It's a tedious process as is, and making the timing perfect is a burden most can't bear. And to see it with a flash as well done as this, well... A rare treat. Thanks, guys.

I disagree with....uh... "Alonymous"? Oh well, I'm not here to criticize other's names. I thought the movie was damned amusing, if you've seen madness (which EVERYONE has. Or else.) And I think he might just be strange in the head, because he said "lol, ain't funny." Errr..... Anyways. I'm not sure I understand it all. I mean.... He never runs out of ammo, and.... unicorn horn beams? A little over the top. But other than that, funny and utterly believable. Could happen to anyone.

Ha, welcome to MY LIFE. Except with more sex than I get. Ha, anyways, I love your easy style of animation, man. It flows really well. Sound was great; showed the emptiness of his life. Anyways, sufficed to say, I've been a fan since the Maxwell Eddison story, and I still am. Thanks for all the good work.

I agree, this thing is way too sexy for a 1 minute animation. The only thing that scares me about this is that those two robots seem to be having WAY too much fun stroking their keys. And then they tickle EACHOTHERS ivories. Scary stuff. Anyways, once again dustball rocks the day. Thanks, dust.

Haha, yeah the part where they play each other is a little gay. But I found it irresistibly funny, so I had to do it! :)

What you need is an edge, man. The game is well designed, the grahpics are fine, and the music is great. But something is.... missing. Every game needs an edge, some originality. Consider adding powerups. I know its a bit cliche, but people are comfortable with them, and they've obviously proven themselves useful in many games. Also, I'd consider sprucing up the..... spinners' explosions. Mebbe take a note from warcraft 2, and just paste an animated gif of real fire over them. Tasefully. Good luck, man. And thanks for the game.

While I agree there were no problems with lagging, I beat the first 5 levels by hitting "t". Then I progressed to occasionally jumping and hitting "t". Once, I threw my weopon. It went through the enemies head and somehow missed. Crazy ghost weopons! Look, I agree that the animations are well done, but the variety of moves and combos were.... not so good. The lack of special moves or spectacular grab + throws was dissapointing. Keep in mind that games with terrible graphics can still own amazingly animated games, because their engines rock. So my only reccomendation is to focus on the gameplay next time.

Thanks for making my life a little easier to take Knox. You always make me laugh SO hard. It's like bringing back my childhood to the days of awesome bonk humour. You are the amazing fourth stooge, man, and I worship you for it. Thanks.
