"Stunningly simple but beautiful"

submission: Obechi

date: October 18, 2009

Wow, such a simply concept and design. I'm most impressed by the way the captured dots form patterned rings in the center and then the dots dance at the end of each level. The music is perfectly befitting.

Score: 6

"Good start, but buggy"

submission: Glass Fish Rhythm

date: October 14, 2009

This is a good start to a retro-style game, but I had to restart my game several games due to crashes when I re-spawned/hatched out of the egg in tight spots.

Score: 5

"Cute animation, but NOT original idea"

submission: Paradox: Cat and Toast

date: December 19, 2008

This idea of the "buttered cat paradox" has already been animated before. In fact, Kimberly Miner won a Student Academy Award for her animated film "Perpetual Motion" in 2003.

Still, this was a decent animation.

Score: 10

"Very cool! It reminded me of Mark Osborne's "More""

submission: Me Bill

date: November 10, 2008

Great job Drew! This was a fantastic film.

Have you seen the oscar-nominated short film called "More" by Mark Osborne?

It's probably just coincidence but your film shares a lot of similar design elements with "More", especially the little door in the body and the colors vs B&W. I highly recommend that you check it out if you haven't already seen it because it's one of the reasons I decided to become an animator.

Anyway, congrats on the film!

Score: 10

"Awesome game"

submission: Maverick

date: September 11, 2008

Great game. Awesome controls, brilliant level design, and I love the retro style, even the "ending" is old school.

Great job!

"I have that TMBG shirt!"

submission: Masquerade

date: February 28, 2008

Decent animation, good timing, just a bit abrupt at the end but pretty funny stuff. Good job!

Score: 4

"surprise is exactly like Adams Philips' "Taken""

submission: Washing Dishes...

date: October 28, 2007

this reminds me of "Taken" by Adam Philips

Score: 7

"Hmm, reminds me of my Self-Portrait"

submission: A Canvas And A Struggle

date: October 6, 2007

I really dig your art, but this is very similar to my Self-Portrait (also posted here on NewGrounds), which has the exact same elements:

Artist + Gun + Canvas = Art?

Score: 10

"Funny stuff but it reminds me of another animation"

submission: Jerry

date: June 22, 2007

This was great, but it totally reminded me a very similar Flash animation that non-verbally tells the story of a man's life through snippets of his daily routine, specifically getting up in the morning, breakfast, bathroom, driving to work, work, driving home, dinner, sleeping, repeat until suicide.

The other film is called "Life Goes On" by Shaun Moriarty and it can be seen on his website, reboiled dot com, under the "things / animation" section.

While "Life Goes On" is very similar, "Jerry" has greater character development and your character animation is brilliant.

You should seriously check out the other film too if you haven't, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was the inspiration for your film.

Good job!

"Perfect Lemmings style flash game"

submission: Student park

date: March 9, 2007

As a hardcore Lemmings fan, I've been wanting to do a Lemmings-style Flash game for years and I guess I don't need to because you beat me to it. The first 10 levels were really easy for me but then they got REALLY hard. The last one, Level 15, took me 2 hours to finally save 20 students, but when I finally figured it out, I managed to rescue 23!

This game was almost perfect. My only suggestion is that you add CODES so you can resume the next level later or go back to previously completed levels.

Great job!
