Lycurgus1985's Reviews

[Amusement Park]

A very breathtaking piece...

Truly a stunning piece of work right there.

The details in this animation were very vivid, colorful, and inventive. It brought back memories of asian animated films I saw when I was a kid.

The audio was wonderful and the carnival music for some reason unsettled me.

Something just seemed very discomfiting about that amusement park. It was like the piece was about temptation and while there are great things to be experienced from it, something just doesn't feel right about it in the long run.

That's just how it felt to me. But this was a very rich animation and has much to offer. I see a lot of potential in you. I wouldn't be surprised if you become one of the top artists on Newgrounds one day.

[Clock Topics 2]

As magical as the first!

Wow, just wow!
I'm glad to see that you guys had finally decided to team up again to make a second Clock Topics and boy, does it live up to the original.

The graphics are very well done and flow fluently. The clocks are very animated throughout via their reactions. One thing I love that you did is that instead of just using the same image of the interviewee and tweening it, you actually took screencaps of them talking to make them animated. It's a nice change of pace and adds more uniqueness to the piece.

The audio is practically flawless. Only time where it does have some grain and fuzz to it is whenever the preacher spoke but then again, that can't really be helped. No big loss. Besides that, it was pretty clean and clear.

The humor... to make a long story short, I laughed my throat raw, my face was sore from all the laughing, and I kepy weezing due to lack of oxygen from laughing so much. So, I say you guys did your job well done there. And the Margaret cameo put the nail in the coffin. Nice reference to the original.

Overall, you guys once again knocked my socks off with this entry to a very promising series. Keep at it!

I need a bucket too...

...because I damn near pissed myself watching this short.

This was excellent Wonchop. The humor was right on. The sound was clean. The dialogue was perfect. The comic timing was definitely on. The graphics were really good.

Only thing I can knock is that the drinking animation looks very dodgy. Besides that, good job. Nice way to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit! =D

Wonchop responds:

You piss in a bucket? ,'=.

[Sonic the Hedgehog !]

Where's the Flash?

I can't believe that this is so praised but it's just screenshots and music.

The screenshots go by so fast and are rather small. Plus, some of the selections are the same screenshots. It's annoying. Couldn't you have at least made animated gifs of the levels, detailing how the levels played out like in the game? Screenshots do not cut it.

Sure, the music is good but I can listen to that anytime. I was expecting more of a tribute to the series than screenshots and music.

You'll probably dismiss me as not being a Sonic fan because I didn't see the point in this. Well, you would be wrong there. I am a Sonic fan. He was and still is one of my favorite title video game characters. To me, this movie just seems like an easy way to get a good high score by feeding off people's enjoyment of a game from when they were younger and making them reflect on something that is nostalgic. Well I'm not one of them. If I want to relive the Sonic days, I'll go play the games again.

I'm guessing your heart was in the right place but this just didn't have anything to it really. Also, as I can, many people thought this would be a game or a movie. I must admit the title is slightly misleading. Perhaps you should change the title to "Sonic Music Soundboard" instead.

I will give you credit for some nice menu designs. However, that's the only thing that I can pat you on the back for.

RegisCartoons responds:

You gave me 3 - that's not so nice. But you explained me, why you gaved me 3 - and from one point of view it was quite proper critic, but I still think that you was too cruel to me in this review.

[Fable Character Designer]

Ideas to Improve Game

I say you should make the game so that we're not just making human fable characters but goblins, trolls, witches, warlocks, ogres, demons, monsters, etc. That will add a LOT more variety and creativity to the mix.

Also, the body of the character needs a little improvement, he's kind of crooked looking. Besides that, it was ok.

Jordaan responds:

An opposing aarmy huh? I'll try and work it in. Thanks for the review.

[Enchanted Strings]

Nicely done

Very good song.
The only problem I see with it is that the violin sounds too electronic and manufactured to me. Perhaps you should put an echo or a reverb on it to give it more of an organic/natural sound to it. Beyonds that, it's a great piece.

F-777 responds:

Thank you for the advice.

=)

[Sound of Night]

Reminds me of The 7th Guest

Very nice work here RemiLegend.

This song reminds me of something you would hear in the old PC game The 7th Guest. It's very well put together and kind of makes me want to do a little jig.

I like it quite a bit.
