"Big improvement, but a few glitches..."

submission: Wade PLZ Ban!

date: October 26, 2003

As you know, I already loved your last game so this one was just perfect for me. The different kinds of enemies made the game more interesting and well, having Bill Gates shooting those Windows icons at us was an interesting touch. Took me a while to figure out that he was a bad guy though. I'm not exactly quick on these kinds of things. Anyways, about the glitches, things near the bottom of the screen can't be touched. Like those little Power-Up question marks. That, and for some strange reason, this whole Flash doesn't really run very smoothly. Kinda reminds me of those really old computer games from the early 80's. Oh well, I still loved this thing anyways. I was kind of expecting this one to be a million times better than the last one you did, but hey, a thousand times better still isn't too bad. Nice work, KoRnFreakeR.

"Love the selection of weapons..."

submission: Pika-Hunter

date: October 25, 2003

This thing actually looks pretty damn good. I'm really surprised. I especially love all the different kinds of weapons though. It really gives this thing a sense of depth when it comes to the gameplay. The graphics look awesome too. Everything ran smoothly and as far as I can tell, there don't seem to be any kinds of glitches. Too bad the idea of killing Pokemon has kind of been done to death though. Still, everything looks really great in this Flash. Not bad, not bad at all. This thing probably deserves a 4, but since I kind of know you, I decided to give you a 5 anyways. Nice work, Wolfintity.

Score: 10

"This will be #1 in the Portal in no time!"

submission: Battle for the Portal Pt4

date: October 18, 2003

Still loving that animation, man. Must have taken you a hell of a long time to put all that together but it was all worth it. It's kind of a shame that the series is already over, but believe me, I loved every second of it. All this probably would have been a bit better if there was more of a plot, but all of Newgrounds has been waiting for something just like this for ages now, and you did not disappoint anyone. Great choice for the King Of The Portal, but it kind of annoyed me that your choice didn't pop up right until the very end. It was unexpected and all, but maybe I'm just pissed off because I was rooting for Lego Army. Great work, though. You're getting a perfect 5 from me.

Score: 10

"Incredible, amazing work..."

submission: Battle for the Portal Pt2

date: October 13, 2003

Words cannot even begin to describe the injustice of not having this thing on the front page of Newgrounds. This is seriously one of the best submissions I have ever seen on this site. The combination of 3-D animation and the attention to detail here makes it seem as though you work at Pixar or something. This Flash is just incredible. I remember watching "The Legomatrix" from you a long time ago and thinking to myself, "This thing is so well-crafted, SecretAgentBob must have stolen it from somewhere", but now, it is clearly evident that you are one of the most talented artists on Newgrounds today. I am loving this series and I simply can't wait for Parts 3 and 4 to come out. I'm practically drooling in anticipation here... Awesome work. I think I love you.

Score: 8

"Made me laugh, so you just earned a 5!"

submission: lll_NG Tribute_lll

date: October 4, 2003

Man, I am loving this Flash. The look on Tom's face when Pico went to the door was priceless. Yeah, this cracked me up. I can't really think of anything else to say except that you should try and make the animations smoother. Otherwise, this thing's perfect. You're pretty good at drawing Pico and the rest of the gang too. They really looked like the actual characters and that definitely bumped you up a few points in the Graphics department. And there you have it. My review for your Flash animation. Awesome work, alexsmolik. You just got added to my Favourite Authors list.

Score: 8

"Hahaha! This is priceless, you know that?!?"

submission: T.R.M.V (gone)

date: September 30, 2003

Man, this is some hilarious stuff. Me being a huge fan of "The Ring" in the first place, I really appreciated how you used all those awesome pictures from the actual movie. The speech bubbles were great too. Like when Noah goes up to Aidan and says "Hello, I'm a friendly sex offender!", I practically died laughing. The only things you should change are the mouths and the sound quality. The song sounds absolutely horrible because of the crappy quality and the mouths just look bad. Seriously, drop the teeth. Like that last guy said, those teeth bug the hell out of me. Anyways, before I hit that "Submit" button, I have just one more thing to say... This really only deserves a 3, but I'm giving it a 5 anyways. Good job.

Score: 4

"Add sound effects and music already!"

submission: Tony Hawk 2 Spoof

date: September 22, 2003

Well, I'll be completely honest with you. This Flash isn't much. However, I did find it quite funny simply because I've played Tony Hawk 2 before, and I totally agree with how stupid and unrealistic it is. I mean, how the hell can someone grind their face off and then hop back on their skateboard to do their next trick? It's even funnier when you suck at the game, and I know that better than anyone else here. But yeah, totally add some music and sound effects to it and this might actually get a decent score. Your animation's pretty smooth (try using something other than stick figures though) and I think you could actually make something that could score a 3 or higher if you tried. This, however, is still a piece of crap. Don't get me wrong, you have the talent. All you need now is the effort.

Score: 10

"Best Game On NG!"

submission: Alien Hominid

date: September 22, 2003

This is, by far, the best game on Newgrounds. Not only have you guys managed to make the gameplay run smoothly, but you've also made it fast-paced and action-packed. I love the graphics too. Instead of other Flash games where the character that you're moving appears to be off the screen a little, this little alien dude is right in there, so it all looks flawless. Awesome controls, awesome style, and all with the great artwork that we've come to expect from synj and Tom Fulp. Great work, guys. It's why we love you both.

Score: 7

"Why must all my ideas get swiped?!?"

submission: The Ring???

date: September 20, 2003

Hehehe... Don't take that one-line summary too seriously. It's just that every inside joke that me and my friends have ever had has been taken and turned into a Flash animation by Flash artists that we've never even spoken to. We came up with this idea a few months ago, but I had totally forgotten about it until I saw this. The same thing happened with our "Finding Nemo"/"The Matrix" idea, "Finding Neo"... I swear, someone's out to get me...

Anyways, this Flash really cracked me up. God knows that if I were to make a Flash animation based on my idea, it wouldn't turn out NEARLY as good as this one did. Loving the animation style, dude. Good job.

Score: 10

"One of my favourites!"

submission: Corporate Puppet

date: September 19, 2003

I remember when I was still new to Newgrounds, this was one of the first Flash animations that I saw. Just for the hell of it, I decided to look it up again and it's still as great as I remember it. I love how every little detail of this movie fits in with the general theme. For example, I really enjoy the fact that you made all the characters in the Flash look like puppets just to illustrate the fact that the protagonist in this Flash is getting "jerked around" and being controlled by someone else, like the boss. I also find it kind of amusing how you made the meaning of "ass-kissing" literal. However, the ending is what made me love this Flash so much. The part where he breaks free from being a puppet by committing suicide at the end was pretty powerful, and turning the protagonist back into a real person at the end really made this piece effective. In conclusion, I'd like to say that this Flash is NEVER going to leave my list of favourites, and I'm a big fan of your work. Doing your own music only makes me respect you even more. Wonderful piece of work.
