Reading it was inspired by works of K itano got my hopes up for somehting diffrent from most Newgrounds movies that often lack of depth.
However now that I've watched the movie I can see that the Kitano inspiration were mostly limited to the main character and it was more of a John Woo inspired movie with guns that fire unlimited ammo and heads exploding and all that... sure those movies can be entertaining but they never really become more then a feast for the eye adb frankly when someone attempts to do something like it in flash the results are kind of bleak.
And well I do understand it's hard to animate and takes time, but maybe that why flashmakers should try to focus more on a good story and character so th at we don't just get a badly animated movie full with exploding heads and car chases without any cause.
However this is Newgrounds so maybe you can't expect all of that and I see you got a pretty high score there so you've obviously satisfied the majority of voters... and maybe that's good enough for you but you haven't really contributed with anything new, nothing that break new grounds so to say, because in the end this is just your average "run out of mill" action flash and nothing more.
ps. Sorry about being a "bitch", but what i mean is for an action flash this is succesful (even if the graphics didn't impress much and that whole exploding head thing looked really weird.), but am i'm personally really bored with this sort of flashmovies.
So despite all I've said keep up the good work.
Men spelet är alldeles för tråkigt och simpelt för att man ska fastna för det. Lägg till några grejer( vad orkar jag inte komma på) så kan det bli lite mer än en 5:a.
I like FLCL just as much as the next reviewer but thiswas really crappy... It was just a slideshow of picture, no animation...the graphic was good but you probaly used drew over a picture following the lines... no real talent really(assumption). The music, of course, was good(the only good).... crap... play my crappy flcl game instead of this!(self-promotion)
I liked the game, and i'm glad you put FA on hold, hopefully skip doing at all, cause they suck... however this game doesn't. It's really crazy and all with fighting bonzai trees and stuff and the pace of the game and the system is very good and simple, but yet it can become pretty repetive and boring within time cause the game isn't just that varied. The biggest issues in you're games i think is the lack of creativity, the games really just follow the standard line. too improve this game just make it crazier and fill it with some new ideas.
Here are some ideas of my own:
-Bigger enviroments, the game is all too limited, how about flying up in the sky a couple of kilometers and ladn on your foe for some severe damage? or just run to your left with your foe on your neck for a long time (didn't make much sense did it?).
-Use of Enviroment, how about using a tree to hide behind or shot down a branch which falls down on your enemy. These items should all be depending enviroments.
-More vehicles, how about cars(obviously with something deadly attached), or animals like an elephant.
-More weapons, not the most necessary change, but lots of firepower is always great.
-Score/ranks, score and bonus points for example; defeating your enemy very fast, or taking little damage. A online scoreboard would also be great. And what about grading the player? let's say
D to A, or bronze and gold medals. And give rewards to the player for getting good grades.
That's just some of my ideas i hope you use of or at least consider for the next powerfox game. so good luck and stop doing those FA games! please? (longest review ever!)
might be overrating it, but hey it uses my music and that made my day! :)
other than that it was nice, and bloody. gotta change that ridicolous username of mine though!
The video was done in a very objectly view on the text without going deeper in the meaning of them, not that i know if they're deeper but you can always pretend.
The graphics were good at some parts but at most parts it failed.horribly.
The music of course is a great piece but as said you didn't do much of it.
overall a decent attempt to make a music video. Next time try to analyse the lyrics and improve graphics.
Highly overrated... There's really no fun with this game, just hold the button down and your safe from losing, yeah i know you're not supposed to doi t but if you can you'll do it. so fix that.
Since everything about the enemy is random it even gets more boring, look at PunchOut and you'll get the idea of good gameplay.
ANd also, ROBOTS? who cares about them? who cares about them boxing? well that might be my personal opinion but i think most of the people enjoy man to man boxing, you know, it's bloodier, bigger appeal to the average violence sucking newgrounds user.
The music may fit in with in the whole robots theme but that didn't stop it from being bad. And the sound did its job i guess-
And overall i must say this a pretty average game with a lifespan on 0-10 minute. Try having some kind of championship mode, where you'll have to gain strenght, stamina and such.
Also try to add a not so random punching scheme like punchout.
Try adding specials and stamina as well.
And by the way feel free to try my partly boxing game Babbler and feel free to bash it as well,:) peace.
Bad graphics(except for the anatomy) and mostly not much animation. The story was lame, i don't know if i missed something but a man running in the metro in a cape with a sword that would fit a Japanese RPG. what's up with that?
The gore isn't that gory it mostly look like a text book example of the bodys anatomy and doesn't really fit with the ugly graphics.
And beautiful? there's nothing beautiful with it! There's just crappy story mixed in with a little sentimental boohoo (and it wasn't well done) and some pictures of the bodys anatomy.
Next time if you want to do something stylish and gory i advice you
to have a little more realistic story or at least not "that" geeky.
Also if you gonna use the anatomy thingy again train up your drawing skills so they fit with the rest.
This is just your average flash and nothing more. and if theres something i missed out that would change my rating to higher one I apoligize-
by the way, whats up with the guy having pictures of the anatomy in his room? Its not like they help in investigating by looking of some pictures of the bodys anatomy! Or is he just disturbed.?

Graphics isn't all that matters
I t's good looking, but did it entertain me? nope, not at all.

Den där flashen var totalt meningslös... irriterande röst och dålig humor. nåja grafiken var väl ok..

You're not sure if there's a deeper meaning, but you want me to go deeper.. Interesting.
