Alright.
Too scattered. Not that it was bad, the music was great, but nothing really meshes together. Try to make things a bit more connected next time. Good luck!
Reviews for "Pixtropolis City"
eh...
Its not bad, but its not great. Pixel art IS pretty time consuming so, I salute you for your hard work lol. But yeah, I wasn't WOW'd. Not exactly sure if this deserves a spot on the front page honestly.
Unfortunate Loss
I must say I feel I have been kind in my rating. Personally I am a great supporter of Precise Pixel Drawing, or Pixel Art as most call it. Personally I felt let down by this animation. The authors of the flash seem to just do scribbles in paint, paste them into flash and fiddle with them.
This doesn't really constitute Pixel 'Art' in my opinion. This seemed more of an excuse to use pixel drawings in flash to relate the style of the 16-bit music. If were to have entered this contest I personally would have using a program like Paint.NET for all the drawings and frames of animation. Rather than using a single drawing and using flashes tools to modify the images (that even includes rotation). Because in my eyes this is sort of cheating what the style represents.
Anyway, this is just my personal opinion. I understand that time constraints, filesize constraints etc, etc all contribute to using 'work around' techniques to minimize the impact on constraints.
Though is does not make me feel cheated any less.
Not my kind of stuff
I don't really liked this thing but tom fulp does he loves pixel related stuff
Great attempt, but...
The animated segments didn't go with the song at all.
There were about two segments that involved committing suicide by jumping off a roof and another with the guy being super depressed and shooting himself. Those don't fit well into a song that has a somewhat positive and cheery mood to it.
I don't think any of the animations were bad at all, I just think you and your crew could have choreographed a much better suited animation to this song.
But all in all, it was acceptable.
