"Nice balanced game"

submission: Tilt 2

date: February 11, 2007

Like described on the front page this is an addictive game, with an original concept.
The idea is pretty simple, but it has been worked out real nice and makes you want to improve your score - because it should not be so hard to beat it, you think. That's where the fun starts, and makes it so addictive.

I gave you a 6 for the graphics, but in my opinion there's nothing bad with that score. A game like this does not need state-of-art graphics. So, for a game like this, it's just fine.

Like I said: I think this is an original concept, so I that should explain the 8 for the style.
Speaking of interactivity: this game is all about interactivity and it has a good balance. So that's all fine for me.

I like this game and think it deserves its spot on the front page. I would love to see more of this, or something similar.

Keep up the good work.

"A lovely interactive story!"

submission: Harry Cadaver

date: March 26, 2006

This movie gives you an excellent experience of a movie from the '30. Seeing a Cadaver in the main role, is funny. Combine that with a world similiar to Alice in Wonderland and you've got a perfect formule!

The graphics were in some way basic, but they fitted right in and made it feel like it was an old cartoon from the '30.
The character designs + backgrouns are also unique in its kind. But that perhaps no-one used a cadaver before in a movie like this.

You've used the perfect sounds like when you go to another chapter of the story. Plus I liked the background music.

What made this movie unique to others is that it was very interactive for a movie. You need to pull before you'll see the animation and a text-bar shows you what's the story behind the animation.
Very creative and like I said before very '30.

There's not much else I could add. Overall I really like this one how it's been set-up and the interactivty. I really got the 'Alice in Wonderland'-experience!

I hope to see some more of your respected work in the future.

"Extremly interactive game!"

submission: stunt bike

date: December 14, 2005

It has been a while since I've seen game which as been this interactive. It was quite hilarious to see the dummy act like a total moron on his bike.

The graphics are always a crucial part on a submission and the graphics were excellent.
There are quite some other submission on Newgrounds with motors and bikes, but none of them was of this quality.

What mostly was good about this game was the ragdoll. Very good psyhics, resulting that there were a couple of nice falls. The way of playing also was good, you need to drag the arrow and based on the that, it moved. So pretty much everything could happen and that's why it was a good thing to add a ragdoll to this game.

I enjoyed this one; the music was good, good interface, sounds, graphics, art.
There might been some little errors with the ragdoll, but you can't fix that for 100%. It was good enough, thouh.

Score: 7

"Fine game"

submission: Hellbound

date: December 14, 2005

First off: this game reminds me of Icy Towers, although you need to get higher, instead of getting down.

When the game was loaded a very good designed menu appeared, which gave a good impression already. When I start playing the game the graphics were still good. They weren't that big, so you could see the next obstacles, which is good.
The style does remind me of a combination of Icy Towers and Mario. It was fun to see that there were obstacles like enemies and you could crush them. :)
That made the game a lot more interactive and a bit harder to play. The sounds remind me of Mario and aswell as the music, but it was good, because it fitted right in the game.

A nice thing if this little game was that the game became more interactive because of the enemies, you needed to avoid them or crush them, this added some more difficulty to the game - especially when it was speeding up.

Overall it's a nice little game, which has left a good impression on me. It even was helpful with the instructions and the training. Although the music did become annoying when you played it for a while...

Score: 8

"Cartoonish!"

submission: Wildfire Island

date: October 9, 2005

Seeing something that kinda reminds me of an old cartoon I used to watch when I still was a kid, is always fun.

Your style of art is quite impressive and really gave this movie its own style. The backgrounds are very artistic which gave the funny look to the world you're showing us.
The idea behind this movie is really original; people on a island and things happen. Just funny.

One thing I also noticed was that the voices are recorded of a very high quality - which is quite important in a movie such as this one. The voice actors have done a great job, since they sounded really 'cartoonish'.

Now the humor was a crucial part of this movie and you've done a good job on it. Not sure if they all were thought out well, but some made me laugh.

Overall this is a really good quality movie with very artistic backgrounds and well animated characters. The voices really added the cartoonish feeling and the humor just did the same.

Seing part 2 would be really nice.

Score: 8

"Like a real cartoon!"

submission: Smokey gets Busted

date: September 15, 2005

Seeing another cartoon of the creator of Taco-Man is always nice, but this one sure had a very good scenario.
Just two kids sitting in church who want to smoke. And once they're outside they ask for 'Smokey', once he's there, he get's arrested. Haha.

The animation is really smooth and has nice cartoon elements in it. Everything has been tweened very well.

The backgrounds and art also gave me the feeling I was wathing a cartoon - it kinda reminds me of Looney Tunes (just like Taco-Man). So your background designer sure did a good job on this one.

The voices are sounded also just like a cartoon, which even gives you more the feeling you're watching a real cartoon; the same goes for the music, 'cartoonish'.
The character designs are really cool and I just love how 'Smokey' looks like and acts. He just motivates the kids to smoke! "Don't forget kids, take a deep hale."

This cartoon sure made me laugh, just like Taco-Man and your other work and the scenario is one of the better one's I've seen lately.
Keep up with the good work.

"Amazing!"

submission: Dad 'n Me

date: July 28, 2005

It has been a long time since TomFulp and DanPaladin submitted a new game together on Newgrounds. I just can't believe what kinda game you two released this time!

The graphics are extremely good and artistic, just as I'm used to see from Dan. The background and character designs are cute and they fit right in the background. It does have something of Alien Hominid, which is good - because I freakin' like that game.
The graphics give a certain sphere to the game - which is ofcourse a crucial part of making a wonderful game.

The style is also one of the better one's I've seen on Newgrounds for a long time. As I said, I can see that Dan made the graphics but it's the 'pointless' violence which makes this so funny to play.

And as always you guys have the perfect sounds and the perfect music for your game. Also something that fits right in and makes it more complete. Sound is in most cases very important and I can see you guys done your best to get the best resources and you sure got some good quality sounds and music!

Ofcourse, the violence. It's 'pointless' but so funny! It's not like that there is loads of violence, it's nicely balanced with the style. Not too much and also not to shabby.

One thing that I noticed was how interactive this game is. You can pick up things and throw them away, picking up the characters and hold them in the air and than beat them - awsome. It are those little things that are interactive, which really adds something to the gameplay.
Another thing what I noticed was the combo system. This system is one of the best I've seen on the Internet and on Newgrounds. I even managed to make a 15 combo - I hope to improve that later on, though! ;)
That system works really nice and that really adds a lot to the gameplay and makes this game so special. Just smashin' around and see how many times you can hit does little quite Tommy and Danny figures.

And this sure made me laugh. All these little cute characters walking on the screen that can be kicked hard! Haha, yeah you sure picked the right theme and made something of this, because it sure is funny.

Now I know this is quite a long review, but I freakin' love this game. It's one of the better games submited on Newgrounds and it's nice to see that Tom and Dan finally released something on the Internet after Alien Hominid. I can you got a lot more experience with this. It's just getting better each time you guys submit something.

I really enjoyed this game and I will play it more often for sure! Good luck on your next projects and I'm hoping to see something again after your next official Behemoth game!

"The best of the best!"

submission: Decline of Video Gaming 3

date: July 25, 2005

You guys keep surprising me each time again when you submit something to the portal. It's just amazing!

One of the better improvements I've seen on this new episode was the art and the animation. The animation looks so much smoother and realistic then before. You've done a very good job on that, Dim. The art is also of high quality, just like the characters. The FBF animation you've been doing in this submissions has also be drawn and animated very well.

The sounds and voices are also of high quality and doesn't makes it annoying to listen. Nice background music, fx, etc.
Allthough I could hear that Dim and Tom were sharing the same microphone, hehe. I'm not gonna complain about that, because it has been recoreded well. It was nice that you've also added some lovely background music in that comic scene, it fits just right in.

Now something that I think is really important in a movie, is the story line. And you guys just did it again! A very funny story with a lot of action. And that's why this is also a very original concept, three dudes going to a game show and Capcom, Squaresoft and Konami as their enemies - very original and you also use to make enough jokes about it.

One thing I also liked that this movie wasn't short. Actually, it was long. Which I think is a very good thing, because just when a movie can make you really laugh it is almost done.
Now I can see you guys spend a lot of time in this movie - it almost looks like a DVD with all those features; like the game and the creator's notes and so on.

This is seriously one of the better movies submitted to Newgrounds' Flash portal which I really enjoyed watching! Keep it up, because I sure enjoy all this.

Score: 9

"You keep amaze me!"

submission: Monster In The Mansion

date: July 20, 2005

Your toons keep amaze me. This time you've used a whole new animation style - which I really liked.

First the art, which I also found quite special this time. It was this kinda cartoony style thing. You could see that in the characyer's designs and also in the background. You've done a very good job on that one.

The whole story behind this movie I find original. A scientist creating a monster, that doesn't know why he's here.
The scientist gace the monster the impression it was created because he could create it and because he was just an experiment. Later on, he really cared about it. Heh, I find that rather funny.

Like I said about your animation style: it was really good. The backgrounds weren't animated but the characters were. And each time they didn't moved, they kept moving, which fitted with the none moving backgrounds.
And everything has been animated very well. Smooth and good tweens.

As all of your movies, the sound has been recorded very well. And the voices were very original. A very 'normal' voice for the monster and a really dr. voice for the scientist. Certainly made it complete.

Now, you've submitted again a very good submission to NG. Keep it going, because I'm gonna keep enjoying it. ;)

Score: 6

"Short, but to the point"

submission: My Tear for London

date: July 7, 2005

It's nice to see a movie in the Flash portal so fast, after what happend a few hours ago in London.
It's short, but straight to the point - and that is perhaps the strength of this movie.

The character has been drawn well and I really like his drawing style.
The song fitted right in and added something extra to the movie.

Allthough that the movie is short, it's very clear how most people think: why are the victims always the civilians that have nothing to do with it?

I expect that more movies will be submitted soon, of people that also share the same feeling you and I have.

I won't give this a 5, but I'll vote fair and give it a 3.
And I see you live in London, so I hope you will take care. :)
