By the style of the title screen, I thought it was going to be good... but it was possibly the most boring game I've ever played. Needed decent graphics, bg music, some animation of the sprites, a background, anything, to add something to make it stand out.

I'm sorry, I can see a shitload of effort was put into this, but it just didn't appeal to me. There was nothing outstandingly bad in it, but nothing particularly good either... graphics, animation & sound were all fine... I think it just needs a little more 'focussed' humour to make it work. I wish I could offer more constructive suggestions, but I can't think of any.
Good luck with future movies...

One of the more bizarre Flashes I've seen recently. Cool style, but art & animation could be improved - it seemed a bit childish, or maybe that was purposeful...? The music was pretty good, and quite varied. I think I liked the first one most , but I don't understand why stuff happened i any of them.. penguins.... elephants... scarecrows... just strange
Nice job, anyway

I would have preferred busted... I'm sorry, what was the point of that? If you're going to film yourself, at least make it slightly amusing. The video was so pixellated it was hard to see what was going on anyway, but from what I could see, I wasn't missing much.
Sorry to lay into you, but I hate these video-myself-type submissions, and don't think they belong on NG. I find it hard to believe that this got through judgement.
Author's Response:
Sorry Denvish, but it was an experiment to see how it could pass judgement.
I was as stunned as you.
Anyway, I don't like these either, but apparently enough did...

Pretty crappy. Shows no animation skills, not much in the way of artistic skills, no coding skills, the music was OK but that's not your fault. If the concept behind this was humour, then it failed; if the concept was anything besides humour, it should have been sent to the graveyard.
It's bad enough having piconjo doing this crap without you getting involved too; and if you ARE piconjo/T0MMY, then it just ain't amusing any more.
Author's Response:
No, im not Piconjo, and I know who piconjo is and I can Garunfuckingtee you it sure isnt t0mmy

Good enough idea. Graphics were OK in some places, but not so good in others. Bug: music loops and overlaps when you die & restart, which is REALLY loud. I'd also suggest putting instructions in game as well as in author's comments, or better still, flash a 'press R to reload' when the magazine's empty.
Could do with a few more different enemies.
Overall, though, not a bad FPS, but needs quite a bit of work if you want to be getting awards.

Great art/graphics, and good choice of music. But as the last reviewer said, distinctly lacking in animation, aprt from some very slow tweens/camera movement. Not completely sure what the story was about either, but that's probably because I haven't seen the film

Wow. Just wow.
Absolutely amazing. I've always been against the concept of claymation on NG, since it's not strictly Flash, but this was absolutely brilliant. I laughed out loud at least three times, and the effects you incorporated were outstanding. Great storyline, and just when I was about to write 'you should add some music', you kicked in with a superb Floyd song. Your talent is so superior to Knox's, it's ridiculous, and I don't understand why this only has a 2.87.
My only suggestion for improvement is to add the Movie Control bar (mentioned in my previous review) for extra Interactivity points. I'll be voting 5 on this for a few days to come.... you need to get yourself a logo or individual preloader to stamp your 'identity' on your work during the first few seconds of preload/view, since a lot of people voting low probably don't even watch the whole film... you could also use s abit of work on your Author's comments to make them more appealing... check out this (remove spaces):

This is seriously great animation. I hope you eventually receive the recognition you deserve.
To all Knox fans: you should be worshipping this guy. Watch the movie, and you'll see why...
Author's Response:
Thanks for another good review.
I tried to put on that movie controller, but it made the file size too big. I'll try it again next week.
And really, i cant thank you enough, you made my movies all go up a lot in score.

Well looks like you're finally gaining some respect from Newgrounders, about bloody time. Pay no heed to the Knox lovers knocking your work, and keep 'em coming. I'll be voting five on your stuff every day when I remember, because I think it deserves a lot more respect and recognition than it has.
If you're interested in a Movie Control with ffwd/rwnd/play/pause, have a look at this (remove spaces):

Very clever, but unfortunately not terribly entertaining. I can understand totally why you'd want to make this, but a good game needs more in the way of graphics and sound. The playability was fine, and coding superb, so kudos for that... I'd like at some point to see you do a full game, because with the right graphics, your AS skills would probably blow away the majority of NG competition.
