Reviews for "Contra"

Holy shit!
Really good job, I often let my imagination run-free on old-school side-scroller games like Megaman and Castlevania, I like how even in 3-D view it stayed faithful to the game's 2D origins. The action was rapid and fun, never boring or campy. Superb, smooth animations to a kickass soundtrack and great sound-effects. Well-done! Voted 5 and added to favorites!
Sweet!!
The animation was smooth, art was nice and clean/sharp and the subject of the film was awesome too. Love Contra despite it being hard as nails!! My friend had this for the nes way back but it was called Probotector and the main characters were manga style robots... anyone else know what i'm on about?
Great use of basics:
This is a fantastic animation, not for its visual complexity, but your skilled use of some of the most basic animation principles that seem to have been forgotten. All movements are fluid, intentional and smooth. Characters anticipate movement and abide by the basic physics of motion.
Once again, I see someone setting the standard high for new animators. Now even if someone wants to do a stick animation, they can see that its not an excuse to be lazy.
The only thing that brought it down a little was the audio. FX where enough to do the job, but often times maxed out, even on my Bose. Its probably half Flashes fault for the way it compresses. With a 3 MB file size, it might not be a bad idea to reduce the audio compression a bit and see if that does it.
All in all, totally worth watching. Good work.

Haha you're right, the size limit for stickpage was 4 MB so I could have unloaded the compression for newgrounds a little. Thanks!
Awesome
I don't know what else to say. That was so awesome. I can't wait to see your next flash.
