[Desktop Stripper]

Funny

Not exactly a "desktop stripper" though... More like a "desktop girlfriend" or "desktop wife". The idea is funny, but it didn't have a real quick wit to it or interesting chemistry between the characters. You could have done a lot more with this, but you didn't.

Good animation, fair graphics, decent humor, and high-quality voice acting though. Good job!

LazyMuffin responds:

You pretty much spelled out the overall joke of this whole thing. "More like a 'desktop girlfriend'".
I disagree about the chemistry but thanks for the comment.

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

Really, Really Good

This is my first experience with the Bunnykill series, and I have to say I'm floored. The animation is nearly perfect and smooth to the point of impeccable. The graphics look great and the weapons and environment are good as well. There's a bit of a story going on, which is a nice little add-on, although it's far from the main focus. And the music and sound effects are extremely good as well. I do have a few complaints though... First, the enemy bunnies seem to be almost deaf, which is ironic since rabbits have a keen sense of hearing... Yet they don't react to sounds going on just a few feet away. Second, as smoothly as the limbs move, they all seem to move stiffly. Joints rarely bend, and the ears never bend either, which I find quite unrealistic. Third and last, the weapons don't seem to get any blood on them no matter how much they're used. Really?

Other than that I have no complaints. The sheer smoothness in this animation is just mind-boggling.

Mottis responds:

thanks!

1. I could've made Snowball be 100% silent while sneaking, but that would've sounded very bland. I knew it was a bit unrealistic but I decided to add in the sounds anyway.
2. Bending joints would have been really difficult to animate. Simple as that ^^'
3. This was a deliberate design decision. Had I put blood on the weapons, the sword would have gotten bloody from the first kill ,and stayed that way for the rest of the movie. I decided against it because I thought it would look bad, and I didn't want Snowball wiping his sword every few seconds.

[SHOCK4: DE]

Decent Parody

The first thing I have to say about this submission is that I was floored by the fact that a parody had such smooth particle and explosion effects. The sound quality was also higher than other people are giving you credit for. The loop itself was also fairly well done, and as satire, it works.

Not much else to say, but you did a surprisingly good job with this.

ugblahtheartistic responds:

shutup! I'm bad!

[The Best Flash Ever]

Great

Funny, stupid, simple, but the audio quality is AWFUL! However, your very subtle Australian accent can be heard, so that makes up for it.

EggysGames responds:

Haha thanks

[The Many Kirbys Collab]

Great

The graphics were simple, but the animation was extremely smooth and well-done, and the humor was much better than a lot of other collabs I've seen. Pretty much perfect, except the voice quality was low at some parts, and the graphics were a little -too- simple sometimes. But for the most part I loved it!

FlashfireEX responds:

Thanks. :)

[Castlevania Whip Crack]

Severely Fucked Up

Animation was decent, art was amazing and the style had a roughness to it that made the odd humor stand out very well. The audio could have used some work, though, and the voice acting/music seemed minimalistic. Maybe it was just that my volume was on low though. Funny, lewd, fucked up, but funny as hell. One of the better parodies. The humor had a style like EgoRaptor but not as obnoxious.

kalabor106 responds:

Turned out I had the microphone on the lowest setting. My bad. Glad you found it funny. Thanks

[Wilhelm Park]

Very Nice

Great graphics, animation is somewhat lacking but it doesn't look like this was entirely done in Flash, and FBF for this kind of animation looks out of the question. Voice acting is simply superb, as is the choice of track listing. The atmosphere is great, but the characters are the cutouts you see in a horror movie. The end... o_o No comment, heh. It was well done but I didn't feel satisfied after watching. I feel like it needed more. For all that happens, too much time is spent on cranking up the atmosphere and it somewhat distracts from the content.

redminus responds:

It was totally done in flash... most of the backgrounds were drawn in Corel Painter and then imported, but nothing else beyond that.
The flatness of the characters was intentional, but totally I get what you mean about the stiffness of the animation in parts. I'm kind of annoyed at myself for the amount of tweening I did, but then again yeah, I'm not about to go and make an FBF masterpiece starring two horror movie retards and featuring sex jokes, heh.
Thanks though! The audio was a bit of a pain in the ass, it's nice when people notice :D

[Physics Test]

Needs Work

Nice, you should try RHG battling! Two things I didn't like though... One was that the running after the jump looked kind of messed up with the arms. I couldn't tell what they were doing and they looked like they were having a seizure or something. The second is that when he jumps, for the height that he jumps he should be bending his knees more and for longer to build up more potential energy for that kind of thrust.

RawGreen responds:

yeah.....I have an RHG, nobody challanged me...cept phoda.
I've been working on a new character that I need to go get adobe after effects cs4 and learn how to use it. I mean, my idea is alright but it's just a little too advanced to put into action right now.

[Lolcat History (Part 2/6)]

Awesome

I saw these when they first came out and actually helped them pass judgment, but coming back to it I realized these deserve reviews! The graphics are nice, but some parts of animation are great while some suck (like the walking animation). It's really weird how some parts are great and some aren't. The humor is great and the voice acting is spot-on... Well sort of. Sometimes it seemed like the voice actors were focusing more on their accent than making the word structure and diction sound realistic. Way funnier than the first one, though. Way to go!

jiggitysmith responds:

Lol yes. It's definitely flawed but has some sort of simple charm to it that's also pretty stupid. I must have had the worst sense of humor as a kid.

[Incident:001A]

Nice Job

The graphics could really use a redo. The author of Deux Ex Machina has his own style, Adam Phillips has his own style, Brad Borne has his own style... And you have your own as well, but you've worn it out quite a bit. With most great artists you can see the art progress through each episode. While you used to make each animation better and better, I get the feeling you've reached a certain plateau and it's time for you to move on. Mix up your style just a little bit and maybe give the characters longer limbs.

That aside, the animation is very good and the blender idea was rather colorful and unexpected. The blood is animated very well also, and the movements were realistic. The gag you put in at the end was so bad that you actually had to laugh at it.

Overall, I really appreciate the effort you've put into making this, but it was both old and samey.

Krinkels responds:

'old and samey'

That's me, guy. Solid like a rock.
