Love your attention to detail with the violence, as always. Nice one.

The art not being one of them. Seriously, I admire your artwork. I can't wait to see what you can do when you animate.
I see a lot of little things that could be improved. The tentacles that come out, the direction in which the girl is facing, sound effects, score, etc. These are things that aren't really important by themselves, but if all left out, will hurt the game quite a lot.
I see a lot of potential though, maybe as you get to the end, the creature who's trying to grab you with it's tentacles comes out as sort of a boss. Then maybe also get some powerups along the way so that you can gain a more destructive weapon.
I disagree about it being too cluttered or confusing, I like the pace and the atmosphere, and the building's going by in front of you make for a good effect.
All in all, it's a game that just needs some more work done. Keep on progressing!

Thanks buddy! I will always look up to you as an animator! Hopefully I can get at least half as good as you are.

K, well, until IamWeird came along with his "drugs are bad, mmk?" review, I was just gonna let this one slide. Maybe it your intention to get a rise out of people, in which case, "Ya got me!".
Getting passed Bush's propaganda against pot, which have already spoiled so many of the youth into believing pot will ruin your life if you even consider doing it (didn't they say the same about alcohol at one point?), I think it would totally do the country good if we'd legalize it. All we'd have to do is make an age requirement just like cigarettes and booze, and I don't see how it could be worse than either of those. Then a variety of perks will emerge. It would generate billions of dollars, put a little bit of power back into the hands of farmers, decrease crime (not only do people stop going to jail for pot, but more people [people that could potentially cause crime] will be too stoned to leave the house. Also it would be closed as a gateway drug), and decrease taxes (with all the people NOT going to jail because of pot, we'd have a whole lot less inmates to take care of, right? I think that crosses out one of your arguments)
And now let me educate you all on drugs. There are some bad drugs out there, it's true! REAL bad. But we can't avoid all drugs, and anyone that says that they've never been on drugs before or don't need drugs doesn't realize this: Any chemical that changes your mood is a drug whether it be endorphins from running or the reaction to a loved one. So with that (and this is something that can be explained in the movie 'What the @#%^& do we know?'), there is hardly anyone out there that isn't addicted to something, whether it be an emotion, a physical object, an action, whatever. Your addiction, for example, is ranting. I bet it gives you some sort of satisfaction from a chemical reaction in your head when you do it, compelling you to do it again and again, maybe even to the point where you can't even stop yourself from doing it. You already covered this argument, but I don't think you realize the extent of it. People that belittle others just because they have an addiction are just being hypocritical.
Comes to the final thing that I just thought was ridiculous. 'Life is stressful, and we should all just get over it' No stress relievers, huh? Well then, there goes movies, video games, sex, beating off, vacations, happy thoughts, flash animations, the internet, exercise, ranting, color, thought....we might as well sign ourselves up to take the place of the cow.
C'mon...be a little more sensible than that. I usually get a kick out your animations and I hope you continue to express your opinion as long as you are open-minded to others. Just had to go out on a rant here myself. Pot has been one of those subjects I've felt strongly about recently because it's history shows that it's a very racist and unconstitutional law and most people nowadays don't realize that.
Sure, it may have some health issues, but no more than cigarettes or alcohol.
And sure a lot of potheads are retards, so are a lot of drunks.

What a great addition! Wow. I'm glad to see such an improvement. I really couldn't find anything I didn't like about it, just as I didn't find anything wrong in the original. All I can do is just sit back and listen while my imagination flows.
You tip-toed around destruction with the wild piano playing (It ALMOST didn't fit), but I'm glad you didn't take it too far. The simple things are often the best.
I think you got a really good thing going with this. I love it. Although you didn't take my suggestion about layering the beginning piano melody of the first version with the part where the drums first kicked in? Or did you just not like it? Either way, I still love this track. Thank you for creating such a thing. I noticed that you added a subtle Arabian melody in it, too. Are you trying to tell me something? lol

Thank you for your words, I really appreciate them.
About piano: you didn`t tell me to put it in there! :))) Or m.b. my english is so bad, that I didn`t understand that you did. (I used dictionary to translate some words from your letters)
About "trying to tell me something?": Sure I do! You just have to make the second part of the story we were talking about. :))) And I think everyone will be very glad when you make it. ;)
