"Very well done!"

submission: Little Jackson Ep.2

date: August 28, 2003

Only a few minor technical issues kept this from being a perfect 10 for me.
1) The pre-loader is broken.
2) Several spelling errors.
3) Cornball ending ;)

The little "inside jokes" were great, though. You've got a good feel for it - but I think this would benefit greatly from voice-work.

Score: 4

"Needs more work on the sounds"

submission: SB * Annoy-ur-Neighbour

date: August 28, 2003

The sound files themselves need work. The interactivity is great, though. I would like to see more like this - perhaps a "cartoon" sound board or something.

Score: 3

"Eck!"

submission: ClockCrew Rave

date: August 27, 2003

Dieses ist eine der schlechtesten Sachen, die ich aufgepaßt habe. Heute.

Seriously - let's see some action. Or a dance floor. Or something.

Score: 4

"Must... not.... rip.... creator...."

submission: Spongebob- The Fun Song

date: August 27, 2003

I'm going to save personal Bob comments for later - but for now, some basic criticisms...
1) Try to work with original material.
2) Learn how to animate mouths. Your syncing is off a bit, and the mouths only appear to have to positions. Look at your own mouth. Use a mirror, silly. See how many movements it can make? Sound out what your characters are saying, and look at how your face changes.
3) Try to liven Bob and Plankton up a little. Make their eyes blink, maybe have Bob bob up and down a little in time to the music. There is more to animation than just "moving pictures".

Now, as for Bob - GAH! Suddenly I feel the urge to play that blamm'd crap "Spongebob Smash!"

Score: 2

"Um.. Where's the beef?"

submission: Platformer Engine

date: August 27, 2003

I know it's just a demo - but.. um... where's the demo?
Sounds, movement, perhaps an enemy or two?
This was like watching paint dry. Only not so exciting.

Score: 5

"At least it's small"

submission: Hungry Hungry Mario

date: August 27, 2003

Well, aside from stealing someone else's character (why couldn't have been "Hungry, Hungry Waterman" or the even more appropos, "Hungry, Hungry Homer" - at least that makes sense), it has a few original concepts. It's short, it's small, it feels more like a demo than a game. I would suggest changing the character (and name), and add a sound for "munching" the "pellets".

Score: 5

"Interesting - but limited"

submission: A cat named Snuggles

date: August 27, 2003

It's a good premise - but I would have hoped for more than one option. Was annoying to go through the whole thing again to find no other buttons worked.

Score: 7

"Ouch!"

submission: The Battlefield III

date: August 27, 2003

Lots of beefy damage dealing there. A little work on the sounds (the quotes sound too much like sound clips, not like part of your movie), and perhaps "streaks" when that last body slides down...
Still, very good. I liked the martial arts the best.

Score: 4

"Novice attempt?"

submission: Trailor for afterlife

date: August 22, 2003

It looks like a novice attempt, but truly if this trailer is a preview of the movie, I'm not excited.

Score: 8

"South Park meets Clerks somewhere in Quahog!"

submission: "Waterman"

date: August 22, 2003

Okay, so this is what would happen if Matt and Trey wrote the script for Clerks. A lot less weed, and had a lot of "Family Guy" influence. Lots of pop-culture references (Breakfast Club... Get it?), as well as that overall general feeling of uncomfortable we've come to associate with anything involving those crazy kids. The music was well done and well placed, but the voice recording was rather inconsistent. And you need a better Stan ;)
