Nice one there!

i looves "waka waka waka"
and the sound when it dies:P
It wasn't too bad.
It overall wasn't a bad flash. However, there were some things I thought could've been done better. First, it was too short. I'm guessing you sized it to fit with the music(Not a bad choice, by the way), but you might have been better off maybe either looping the song, or possibly using some different music along with what you used. Next, it seemed you attempted a bit of character development, yet really went nowhere with it. It could've been written a little better, with more in-depth dialogue as well, which I think would've served any character development in the long run. Overall, though, you did a pretty decent job of it, and with a little bit more work, will become a really good flash maker. Keep on the road you're on.

actually the song is 4 mins long and i tried editing it and came up a little short in the end
where was the ending
i saw no magic use on the toads' part....so how'd they win all of a sudden? the movie was sorta clever in its depiction of consoles taking over arcade entertainment but it had some problems. the music started too fast; it should've begun at the start of the battle. secondly, as i already stated, there ending was WAY too abrupt. PEACE

this isnt the end i assure u, its just the beginning (unless im too lazy to continue lol)
a fair review for ya.
i haven't submitted anything yet, but i have done quite a bit of work in flash (for websites mainly), and i know how hard it is to put something together like this. so let me say first off, that you did a great job with artwork. the animation was good, and you had some really clever stuff (the space invaders, pacman in the maze, etc). also a fairly original concept, what with the mushrooms attacking and all.
here's some constructive criticism:
- i am a fan of random asian electronic music, i have a bunch in my library. BUT, that song did not fit with this film AT ALL. it really destracted from the movie.
- the plot was quite jumbled, and i was confused as to why the mushroom kingdom was attacking pacman and his gang... what happened to mario? if it was maybe new games vs old games or something, that would have made sense.
- finally, i think you could have been a bit more creative with the weapons being used by the mushrooms. it really just felt like a civil war battle with mushrooms instead of the british! ;)
- oh yes, and the ending was way too abrupt. really no resolution at all.
to me this seems like on of those movies that could be reworked to be something well worth my 5 vote! but for now, it gets my 4. good luck in the future!
