Well I liked it because it was really zany and messy and not optimistic.

Truly intriguing drama there Oliver. I especially liked how you portrayed the betrayal of the main character by his son - the plot devices to build tension in this scene were particularly effective.
Tally ho old boy.

Looked like a bit of return to your original flash style in the middle there, with the colon three faces and voice acting and shit, and I thought it was interesting how you included your newer style alongside it. The music were gud choices as well with the aphex twin and snayk and stuff. I think you need more colour though, your flashes are grey a lot of the time.

The thing that struck me most was the colour change at the end - after the dark greys and black and white used throughout, this felt surprisingly refreshing and quite uplifting. I found the rest of the flash to be meaningful and pretty figurative with having read your description afterwards, though I think you need to be more literal - the storyline was quite an abstract one, and some dialogue between characters could make the whole thing flow together a bit better. Not that the storyline was at all bad - just hard to interpret on seeing the flash alone.
I found the MSP song a bit too upbeat for the black and white part of the flash; maybe some more atmospheric and ambient music such as Aphex Twin or Brian Eno (or, you could try The Cure or Joy Division if you want a real band as opposed to electronic music) could have been more appropriate here; though I though the song fitted quite well with the colourful ending. The animation was great, in your typical wobbly style.
9/10 - needs a more coherent plot, I think, but your current direction is great in terms of style and animation.

Oh wow, wasn't this a spectacle. Worth the wait.
I reaaaally liked the sketchy style this has, and the changing colours helped a lot to that effect. The music was the choice to make for this flash (even if it weren't snayk), bizarre and brilliant, and fitted in with the animation and stuff well.
I think there needs to be a little more of a plot though (don't take me wrong, they are lovely experiments), your cartoons seem a little TOO abstract. Maybe introduce a few characters.
I decided to write this review hazier than my others, for a change.
Author's Response:
Glad you liked it and I'll introduce characters when I think of something that could work as a trippy series. :]

You pulled this off fantastically, the music syncs with the animation so well and I loved the basic green line art you used to great effect. The frame-by-frame explosions went well together with both these aspects, and I thought the 3-Dimensional shape animations were well-suited to this sort of thing. All the sorts of things which give this a computery theme - the green on black, the abstract shapes, the coding at the beginning (AS 3.0?) make this really stylish and brilliant.
Your choice of music is great as well; a really tranquil, ambient sound combined with the slowly-pounding drum beat makes for a well-suited background noise, and allows for lots of different elements in the flash to sync with.
My only qualm with this is that it could of been longer; I realise animating takes a long time though, and what is here is beautiful and serene.
Very well done, favourited and fived, lovely piece.

Your so kind. :)
Ye I thought the green outline idea was nice, not at first for artistic reasons but mainly because i had to draw practicaly nothing. WOO ME!
Arcade Fire are magnificent. I recomend them to everyone who likes GOOD music. You are obviously one of those people. Win for you :D.
I like my shit being short. Means i dont get board of makeing it. Newgrounds doesn't agree however. I was expecting a bit more than 3.20. Ow well. It is only the internet.
Thank you so much.
:]

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.
Author's Response:
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.
