I've waited for ages for this to come out, and the finished product is excellent! This deserved a far better score. The graphics were absolutely brilliant - slightly in the flathead style of Paladin - but ignore all of the reviews saying it was a complete rip off of them, they still retain originality. Coding was awesome there Snubby. Great work both of you! 10/10.

Nevermind being brilliantly animated, this was hilarious stuff! Absolutely awesome. Nothing I can think of to improve whatsoever.

I liked the overall experience of playing this: the music works really well and you used the level icons to good effect. The actual questions were easy enough without being completely obvious (though I only got up to the MorrowDays one!) and I liked all the various NG-centric ideas (such as the angry faic, though it didn't shock me since I knew it was coming :D). Fived.

lol, thank you very much. I loved making the angry face level and making him look all stupid!

Your animation style reminds me strongly of Terry Gilliam from Monty Python, absolutely brilliant. I loved the bizarre plot of this, as well as the ambient music and ridiculous voice acting. Great cartoon! 10/10.

I really like the ambient, depressing nature of this. Your use of only black, white and grey made this distinctive, and the music made this emotive. The lack of real action or dialogue didn't matter. A very well done, looking forward to more from the author.

I really loved this. The way you used subtle music, character narration and animating things from lots of different angles created a poignant, atmospheric animation that makes this character's story seem very interesting. I'm looking forward to part 2 enormously! Well done. 10/10.

Watching this with sound on certainly makes it better. It's probably the animation's synchronisation with it - they really go well together. Such a random and mashed-up beat combined with lovely odd frame-by-frame goes down a treat. I really liked the fuzzy video effect at the end - maybe you could do a whole cartoon with that over the top? Just an idea, might come out good.
I liked the way you looped it as well, that worked great, as well as your Firth-style jittery lines on everything and your changing-font text.
I had a headache before this, and this took my mind off it for a second. :D
Certainly your best flash so far! Fived and favourited.

Thanks. :)
But what do you mean by: 'over the top?'

I loved the old grainy film texture to the film, I thought that really brought something to this. I also thought the animation was great, though your drawing skills could be improved - try to have a go at drawing the human figure more - possibly do some pencil drawing and then scan in into the computer?
The plot was a bit too basic for my liking as well - you could assume everything before it happened.
The old-fashioned film style of this was great though - 8/10 and a five from me!

"Awesome skills for an eleven year old."
Let me say that your animating skills are very, very good if you are actually eleven, and the fact that you know flash so well at this age is fantastic.
The animation was almost as good as Krinkels' in places; fast, smooth and violent, the way Madness should be presented and the way that numerous tributes lack. I liked the fact that you put a new character in place of just using the same carbon copy characters.
However, I felt that you let yourself down in a few places: firstly, your choice of music, which isn't the usual in a Madness episode: some sort of pounding club beat is more appropriate and pumped, as opposed to rock music. But if you were trying to differentiate your Madness to Krinkels', then that's alright.
Another thing I had a problem with was the filters and the text. You chose to use a ton of blur filters, which causes slight rendering problems sometimes, and it looks totally different to the normal Madness episodes. The text is also similar here: Krinkels only ever uses full caps, maybe you might want to consider that.
And the last thing I didn't like was your submission icon: it looks sketchy and bad-quality. Next time, export your picture from flash in jpg or png format, then import into a graphics editor like Photoshop and then export that in gif format. The quality will rise considerably.
9/10: a few minor problems, most notably the choice of music, but overall very well put together.

Loved the atmospheric nature of this; the music, the scenes and the grainy effect on everything. The sound effects and animation are striking, and the whole thing has quite a Bioshock feel. Great work!
