I actually found this to be quite funny. Also really nice pixel artwork as well. DId you use your own voice or was it from somewhere else? Laughed at the rock talking too. I don't think you would find a warning sign warning of falling rocks in the middle of a forest though.

The animation wasn't really long but it was pretty good. Although you probably are still learning flash bit by bit it would have been a bit more interesting and realistic if you had made the first part a bit longer and shown blood coming out from under the rock as well.

Overall though, not a bad job for a solo piece of work.

Reminds me of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" when the Whale falls down. He has similar thoughts as the rock in this short flash, heh.

The presentation is quite nice. A confused character get's smashed by a rock in a deep forest and then we have a short flashback to the rock and how it is falling.

Not a very long flash, but it was enough to put a smile on my face. I would really like to see this turning into a series. Could be a quite funny series of short and silly (though enjoyable) flashes.

I'm certainly seeing some Monty Python influences here. We've all wondered the same thing as the character here. "What the hell? Falling rocks? Seriously?" But you've taken it a step further and showed us how the poor rock feels about all this. It's a unique idea and gave me a decent laugh.

The sound effects were well done, as well as the voice acting. I've nothing more to say about that. You did a good job.

Animation wasn't very strong. I'd like to make a few suggestions on that.

First I suggest a longer pause between when he asks, "What does that even mean" and when he gets hit. That will allow all the other stuff that I'm about to suggest.

When the rock hits the character, I'd suggest making a "squish" animation. It doesn't have to be much. Just a couple of frames that shows the rock squishing him. After that, he might be lying under the rock, broken. Or maybe just an arm sticking out. Or maybe just a growing pool of blood. There's a lot that you can do.

Also, the centre of origin for the dust is where the rock first hit the guy. Rather, it SHOULD originate from where the rock hits the ground, and it should be flowing off to either side of the rock. Drop a stone in the dirt a couple of times and watch how it all behaves.

I'd also like to see more movement of the character. Maybe have him look up with a terrified expression just before the rock hits him. One other suggestion is maybe a shadow over the character that grows until he gets hit.

All in all, a good work. I'd love to see this made into a series. I feel like you could go a long ways with it. It's pretty funny and full of potential.

A good illustration of two points of view here, with a very Monty Python feel to the way that the rock just lands there on the guy. I loved the way that you considered the rock's feelings about this - ever get the feeling that you played Epos too much?

Some good work and a decent showing with the voices and animation, although I'm not sure that it's entirely up to your regular standards in that respect, but like you said, it was a quick little short.

I look forward to seeing more of your work in the near future.

Well I think your idea of turning this into a short series would be really funny. As for this submission itself, it's effective. The story makes sense and was done well, but it is very short. It doesn't contain a whole lot of animation though, and I do think you could have done a better job with the smoke cloud after the rock hits as it doesn't look entirely convincing.

The sounds were great though. The nature sound was rather appropriate as well as the wind, and I can tell that you did the voice acting yourself, lol. No complaints there. I like how the rock asked itself why it was falling, lol. The fading in and out was a nice addition and made it look much better.

Other than the things I already mentioned, I think the images could use a slight improvement. The character himself looked great, did you make him yourself?? The rock was a bit fuzzy and so was the 'falling rocks' sign, and I think you could have used higher quality props for those. Good work overall, I look forward to the next episode :P
