This is a nice flash animation. The movements and camera shots could use some work. For example, try some shots to establish to the viewer where this fight it taking place, or who all is fighting. There were no camera shots outside of close up here so the viewer kinda feels alien or unclear to what is going on. Also take note on the 12 principles of animation, mainly slow-in, slow-out, arcs, exaggeration, anticipation, and stretch and skew.
Overall, for your first flash, this is amazing. I look forward to seeing more from you.

The enclosed quarters made me feel a little claustrophobic. Maybe this is a good thing, to keep the player in panic, but it got frustrating when I lost a life or two straight off the bat. The moving blocks was a nice touch, but maybe a little too simple to keep the players interest for that long. Nice little time waster.
By the way, you need to reset the fadercnt to 0 every time the player presses the start button.

well thats the ratio powers gave us. i didnt want to challenge it until at least after the course. possibly over winter break. what do you mean losing a life off the bat? the ball spawns over the paddle to the left the first time. i did that as a courtesy cuz its unfair that the ball would first spawn at the center when the button is to the left. and it re spawns in the center like normal breakout games. i tried to add more animation, but the stupid code said no, NO. so idk what to do about that. lastly, idk how to set the fadercnt to 0, at least i dont think. flash is so wonky somethimes. neway. if you have the code, be more than encouraged to send it to me.

It's amazing that when presented with such a small, or at least rushed, time frame, people can produce some of their best work. I've noticed that with some of the stuff I've done.
Very nice, man. I say it once again: You're a beast!

I LOLed, as they would say. Gawd there were some funny ass references in there, and the jokes kept comin so quickly. And its the same kinda stuff my friends and I talk about while we're playing Brawl so I could relate to every one of those. I especially loved the F-Zero cartoon reference where Captain Falcon unleashes a Falcon punch so devastating that the explosion was visible from space. Why couldn't they of used that as Falcon's Final? The DBZ thing was hilarious too. This was amazing. Kudos.

I hate it, it sucked! I mean, honestly, how would the world NOT be completely wiped out if there were that many Hilary's around? Its just unrealistic! Maybe if you made some back story about how Hilary and Hitler shacked up and made a bunch of fire-babies. Yeah...what were you thinking?! *shakes head*

Thank god! A voice of reason! Thanks for stopping by, my man! I know, not everyone can be as gifted as the almighty Flecko! Believe that!
It's embarrassing to put up my early toils! At the same time though, I think it should be cool to see my progress. I'm getting some real honest answers, and some real good advice!
See ya around Flecko! (and don't worry, I'll call... Just maybe not this weekend!)

I agree with previous reviews; the game is pretty fun, but it gets a little too hard to accomplish around wave 20, n I blame that on the lack of money that is provided. Maybe give out a little more than one more gold piece per 5 waves, or give out bonuses that multiply in value for getting though waves unscathed. Also, the animations did lag more and more the further I got, and unlike the last guy who brought this up, I do have a pretty good computer. Might be something you wanna fix because they look like they'd be fun to watch.

Ok that was awesome...If only I had the patience to do something like that on a daily basis. I don't understand why this hasn't received an awesome score, cuz it surely deserves it. I might even say a daily first.
Anyways, the only thing I could point out in this that needs at least a little work is your anatomy and keeping a consistent character structure throughout the animation, if you can perfect that, I expect to see something from you on the top 50.

I thought the animation in this was very smooth and it was amplified by a very cool style. I can see a lot of detail going into all of the movements and even in some of the background animation, the finish line flag for instance. I thought the whole thing was awesome. Hope to see more stuff like this in the future. Kudos.

Notice how almost every one of these reviews has users disagreeing with the review even though its plain to see everyone hates this. They're trying to get you to write a crappy review so they can flag it for whistle points! If you don't have anything helpful to say to this flash, don't say anything!
As for this flash, I think the graphics in it were a little sub-par. Maybe if you changed the scenery, maybe put a little more eye-catching backgrounds. Also, if you threw in a little more effort into the animation, I think you'd find that you'd receive a little more positive feedback. Good luck on future flashes.
