Reviews for The 1-up Pursuit

[Nmtrl]

Unorginal

Yet again the front page is graced with another overrated sprite carton. >_< And due to it featuring Mario - an overused video game icon - lots praise is thus heaped upon it.

I was not in the least impressed.

Let us see, your animation was okay considering the fact that you most likely used tweens to move the sprites about. I perhaps saw a few customizations of the sprites here and there.

The best thing about this cartoon in my opinion, was the music score. The Beatles "Hard Day's Night" is a true classic ( Oh which you failed to give credit for by the way).

Well you did indeed make it to the front page and won some awards to boot.

Congratulations.

Please create something original now. I look forward to seeing any original work that comes out of you for you clearly do have potential.

I appreciate the review. Trust me when I say I didn't not ask, and in many ways did not want, this level of so called praise. This was done in 4-5 days and it even getting Daily Feature was a huge shock to me.

But on the other hand, I create my movies for my own enjoyment, and I don't like it when other people say I should stop using sprites and make drawn movies. Newgrounds isn't a portfolio. I enjoy animating sprites and that's all I care about.

Thanks!

Competition runs deep.

Alright, since it's utterly impossible to review this without comparing it to Jonbro's, I'm just gonna go ahead and do that, okay? Okay.

I'm just gonna say right up front that there wasn't anything about this flash that I didn't like. It was put together well, it was funny to watch, and the music went with it. Now...I don't actually know what the competition is, so I can't make a judgement based upon the whatever-requirements OF that contest. What I CAN say is that I personally like Jonbro's a little better. Probably due to nothing more than an aesthetic value I felt regarding the style, but that's about the only major difference between the two. Given that, I like what you did thar, but lean slightly more towards his.

Regardless, good work.

Lets see....

:Grading of flash:
-----------------------------
Not original: -4 stars
A lame attempt at trying to be better: -3 stars
Qualirty: +10 stars
Making a already used idea into an extreme attempt to rip off someone elses work. -3 stars

Total grade: F-0

=( Pretty good quality though, your pretty good at making flashes, but I really dont like peeps who rip someone elses ideas.

Better luck next time.
