[Burnt Face Man 6]

Very good...

I never really liked Burnt Face Man as much as your other flashes but I thought this one was pretty funny. The graphics were excellent as they always are and the style is nice. To me, it seemed a little different than the other Burnt Face Man's and maybe this is why I thought it was good. The acting is always nice and as I've said, it's pretty funny.

Overall, a nice job for this flash series. It's pretty entertaining and shows your versitality (I should go look to see how it's spelled, but I won't) in how you can go from disturbing, odd and to funny. If a seventh one is made I'd like to see it with this kind of humor again instead of the regular one where the jokes are pretty corny and too long. If it's like this, I'm sure I'll like it.

If that means anything.

[Sock Episode 3]

Are these really your dreams?

Cuz if I were you I'd hate to fall asleep. The graphics were top of the line, as are all of your work. The style is of course the Firth style so who can complain? The sound was very nice, fitting music and nice sound effects with good voice acting. Violence was well... violent! Nice twisted random stuff. Humor for me was a big surprise. This was really funny with the voices and those three heads debating whether to call the man Henry or not.

Overall, you've still got it. You're still on your hot streak with innovative animation, slick unconnected storylines and very interesting material. You're one of the best. Oh and nice Newgrounds logo ;)

[Reiko - The Frog]

Very good first start...

Your first try is a lot better than a lot of people's flashes after a long while, good job. The graphics were, to me, the best part of the flash. I like the way everything was well drawn and really simple, it makes you focus on just what is happening. Style is nice also, with the black and white and the no background. Simplicity is what makes this good. Sound was to me the weakest point, I mean the pan-flute music was well-fitting but the fly buzzing was a bit irritating. Correct me if I'm wrong but that was just you buzzing into a microphone right? If so, you probably shouldn't have done it so loud. Lastly, the humor was nice. I knew what was going to happen but not when which is very good on your part. I was just watching and knowing it was eventually going to happen but a fly came out so I thought it'd be after this but then, "WHAM" it happened.

Overall, it seems like you got talent in Flash and I hope to see more. Work on sounds and you'll be one of the better Flash artist. I'd really like to see more done with these characters, especially the cool little girl. I'll check out your site until then ;)

[Icons Ep 1]

What can I say...

I like it when babies explode. Alright, the graphics in this are really good, it must've taken a while to do that and it shows so I admire that. The style is pretty cool I guess, it's more like a cut-away show where they talk and it cuts to some scene then it cuts back. You did this well except there's nothing really to cut back to, there wasn't any real plot in this. The sound is good, the voice acting is good but it could be slightly improved and it had nice sound effects. Lastly, the humor was good. I laughed (especially at the line I quoted) so the whole point was to make the audience laugh so I guess mission accomplished.

Overall, very nicely done, the cut-away skits just need to be glued together more tightly. In other words it needs a better storyline. If you insert that in then I bet this'll be a good series.

[Autumn Tree]

Well...

You almost got it. The graphics were pretty nice and fit with the whole thing, you did good there. The style was good, and you put good use to split screen, however at first it looked like a good silent flash of the sorts but then suddenly there's voice acting. I think you should've put some voice acting in the begining to establish that there will be talking or not put any voice acting at all, it just seemed to break the flow when they spoke. The sound was nice, the music was pretty much perfect so good job but the voice acting was the best. Especially the laughing at the end which seemed off.

Overall, you took on an ambitious task and you almost got it. By the way, the initial plan the two students had was to blow up the cafetiria then shoot anyone trying to escape. But the bombs they put didn't explode so they decided to go in and just shoot people. I don't know whether you were aware of this or not. Anyways, it was a good movie but there were some problems.

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.8]

This is...

Sprites to the eXtreme. The graphics are great, everything moved smoothly and the fighting was intense, probably the most intense fighting I have ever seen in a Sprite Flash, very excellent job. The style was good, the way everything was presented and with none-looping backgrounds. The violence was the best part, well-done and smooth which is how it should be done. Maybe you can consider adding voice-overs but it isn't needed and probably wise if you didn't.

Overall, this is top-of-the-line shit. I can't imagine how much effort you put in this, whatever it was it showed.

MaxR responds:

thanks, I tried to make my fights long, tense, and interesting, without the stalling parts. And I have accomplished that in this chapter. I'm still not sure about voices, since 8 chapters has gone by without them.

[Pallid Fingers]

That was actually...

pretty well done. The graphics were fitting and well-animated. The style was you combining your style with the style of David Firth which you did seemlessly, very nice. Sound was good quality and the music went well with everything, I liked the music at the end by the way. Also, it was pretty funny at times.

Overall, you did well. This is one of the better parodies of Salad Fingers, nice job.

[6 Feet Under]

That was good...

I enjoyed it. The graphics were pretty well done, although the people moved a little too slowly and blocky in the fight scenes. The style is good, a nice neo-noir feel. The sound was pretty good although it sounded as if the same person did all the voices, if it wasn't the same person try and diversing the acting so we can easily tell them apart. Violence was good expect it like I said, it didn't flow as well as it should but that's alright.

Overall, you're off to a nice start. Just work a little bit more on the animation and I hope the plot gets shown in the next one. Keep it up.
