"Not bad"

by: Coop83

This piece shows that you've thought about the futility of War and the effects it has on so many lives, both during and after a conflict.

It's not the best loop that I've ever seen, so you need to work on making buttons, in order to be able to stop the piece when it reaches the conclusion - you could also stand to make this longer by maybe as much as a minute.

The other thing that I would recommend you concentrate upon is putting more time into the sound effects - there's a bit of static over the sounds of the gunfire and explosions, so I'd cut some of those effects out and give a space for the music to shine through.

"Good flash"

by: Haggard

Even though they are just sticks you managed to draw them very detailed. Especially the faces of some of the stickmen where awesome.

I also liked the part where that one guy looks around with the spyglass and the whole picture blurred due to him not being quite focused.

However, I think the flash needs some more sound effects and better syncronized sound respectively.
Some voices shouting orders would be very good for the atmosphere for example.

Also, the preloader doesn't work properly. It switches back and forth between the loading bar and the play button.

"Good for sticks"

Graphics were decent and the sound effects were good. I am confused as to why the preloader proceeded to finish loading and then show the play button repeatedly until it starts on it's own.

What really impressed me is the zoom blurs and other blurs you used to show that he was out of focus due to all the bombs being dropped. The bombs seemed a little off to me, adding a few finer details could make them look better. The explosions were clean and very well done. There is one point that has a little glitch where it repeats for a few secs and finishes, possibly adding bullets and a few audio clips of soldiers shouting would add a more realistic feel to combat. You could go even farther to add individual bullets that fly everywhere.

Not bad for a short flash, with a few improvements it could be great.

"Nice try."

Animation/Graphics - I was impressed with the animation even if it was just sticks and everything. Some things like the bombs should have been drawn better in my opinion. I just didn't think the bomb shape that you drew really fit well. Since a shot like the ones they were shooting would be much smaller and probably more bullet shaped. The ones that you drew were more like missiles and just seemed out of place on the battle field that you had. Other than that (Which I know is very picky) the animation and drawings were fine.

Story/Content - A very short flash, but it was done pretty well for what you had. I liked everything pretty much, but do think it ended kind of premature. Perhaps the entire battle scene up to the point where they break the enemy line and get into their base would have been much better. Ever play the Medal Of Honor game where you have to get across the barbed wire fence and into their bunker? That would probably make a better flash than just ending where you did.

What was up with the preloader? That was kind of weird how the preloader went back and forth between the play button and the loading screen and then it just played by itself. If you did that on purpose it looks like an error in my opinion and if you didn't do that on purpose than I think you should fix that up a little bit so it's a normal preloader and you have to actually push play for it to play.

Audio - Decent audio and sound effects. I do think you could have synced the animation better with things like the gun shots. Half of the times that the guns shot there wasn't even any noise of a gun shot. Perhaps adding some voices in and stuff like that could have made the flash much more interesting also.

Overall - I think it needs to be a tad longer and a couple of things need to be cleaned up, but not that bad.
