This is a deceptively simple game that took me more than an hour to complete (once I got the strategy down, it started to get easy). The biggest problems were the music (thank you very much for including the option to turn that damn loop off) and the stupidly simple "tutorial" levels that pop up in the beginning and every time you include a new special block. one level might be fine, but if someone couldn't figure out they work after that, I have to wonder how they managed to turn their computer on. Other than that, the graphics were okay and I enjoyed the somewhat satisfying animation when I finished a level. Nice work.
Very nice; easily on par with the work of Neil "Trapezoid" Cicierega or Andrew "I made French Erotic Film, bitch" Kepple. My biggest complaint is that there's simply TOO MUCH CRAP going on at once. I had to go through almost the entire movie frame-by-frame to get everything (because I am a sad, lonely little boy with nothing better to do). It made it kind of hard to focus on one part specifically; all that stuff happening tore apart my concentration like a pack of angry, ravenous wombats (with rabies). Then again, maybe that was your intention. The content I could make out was funny, especially Gendo's fishbike and lyric choice. The song, however, was freaking fantastic. If I could choose only one song to listen to for the rest of my existence, well... I would have to pick "Radar Love" by Golden Earring, but "Shining Collection" would be at least eighth or ninth on my list. Keep up the good work!

Even if FatboySlim613 did not. Truly, it is a shame that such an obviously great mind as his did not approve of your flash. How will it ever garner respect among 15-year-old AOL users now? That aside, I very much enjoyed it. I loved the addictive, bouncy, endless song, and I was especially impressed by the smoothness of the animation. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that the characters are cute; the only people who would take points off because of that are guys too insecure in their masculinity to enjoy anything but mindless violence (which this site already has in abundance). It's in the same vein as you your "Badger" flash, though it looks a bit more professional. That's not to say anything bad about the infamous flash loop, but rather as a testament to how well-done this one is. Hope to see more goofy song loops in the future!
Now, to listen to it for the 789th time.

It's great that you considered the boredom of modem users and everything, but those of us with high-speed connections didn't even get a chance to score a single point before it loaded! :-( Seriously though, GREAT job. The music was cool, the animation was smooth and mixed well with everything else, and it showed a huge amount of creativity. I was most impressed by how well you synched the animation to the music. I have only two suggestions: leave audio credits and allow users to play pong AFTER the movie is loaded. :-)
That was so bad it was hilarious. Every single DBZ cliche compressed into a single shitty flash movie... if you were trying to parody it I would have given you a much higher score. Sadly, it looks like you took it seriously. From the barely literate dialogue to the pointless, nonsensical choice of music, this flash is utter crap. Try again.
That was actually pretty scary. But, scary in a good way. That frame-by-frame tracing is pretty cool, though. It must have taken an eternity. One question, though... why the Folgers jingle?
Yet another classic animutation. It's very difficult to seriously review this, but I'll give it a shot. The graphics were awesome; I've seen a lot of improvement from your earlier works (I especially loved the frame-by-frame stick figure chase). The standard Japanese music worked great, and your lyric interpretation was a riot. ("Buttsex Europe"? Heh.) Keep up the good work.

As a matter of fact, he was animated in the same way as he was in the "Clerks" TV series (or comic book; whatever the hell your inspiration was). That was pretty funny, and I especially enjoyed your inclusion of Larry from the Leisure Suit Larry games. The voice acting quality, while not terrible, could be improved, perhaps by using an appropriate recording studio (unlikely) or by simply not yelling into the mic (that screeching sound annoys the shit out of me, and, I'm guessing, most other people). Whatever, you do what you want.
Good graphics, good idea, good sound... good flash! It actually made me snicker out loud, a rare event on this site. The voices were really funny in the context of the movie; this all fit together very well. But the best part was I didn't have to wait five minutes for the punchline! Good job!
The pictures were very well synched with the music, and I loved the song. Backbone! Heh. Your later work is great, too, and although your flash skills have obviously improved, I rate this one as my favorite because of its classic charm. By the way, are you Canadian? The reason I ask is because you included a picture of Harold from the Red Green show, a canadian sketch comedy show I've seen a few times on PBS. Maybe you just watch a lot of PBS. Nevermind.
Yes I am Canadian! Although in my childhood I did watcha fair amount of PBS which explains how I heard of the group Rockapella, since they were on the old show "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"

haha, you're not missing much. I literally wrote it in like 5 minutes. It's impossible to win.
Thanks for the good review, too :)

Yes, it was Silent Bob.
As a matter of fact, he was animated in the same way as he was in the "Clerks" TV series (or comic book; whatever the hell your inspiration was).
