Oh? I'm honored!
Very nice story
It really shows that selling your soul is a hefty toll to pay for something trivial or great, shall you want something you should earn it and not buy your to it like trying to buy friendship, it just won't work. Very nice lesson and little story, never sell your soul, you may never have it back.
Animation was rather nice and kind of cute as well, enjoyed it all anyways, very good job, looking forward to more animating from you, possibly with voices next time. =] Nice job there mate.

I know... I was dreading the outcome of the animation since I wasn't sure how people would receive a flash with meager music and having to read it all within the animation itself... fortunately It turned out okay.
Glad my effort paid off (somewhat ^^) and thanks for the review! =D
Hahaha
Art/Animation: 7/10
As you said, it isn't the best animation ever, but it is quite good. The art is a bit generic, and there isn't much attitude in the drawings. The fire effect was quite good too..
Plot/Concept: 9/10
I loved it. It started off kinda boring, but it gradually got more and more ridiculous thus making it funnier. I think it would have been funnier if you had stuck to words rhyming with "mole".. This would have made it better.
Music/Audio: 8/10
The piano is a tiny bit boring, maybe use a better piano or something. It would also have been nice to get some vocals, because having to read the subtitles all the time made it kinda annoying.
Overall: 8/10
Very funny, but could be improved.

My focus was indeed to make something look decent whatever the consequences, so in making it easy-ish to draw, I guess I must've ended up making it look "generic" =|
And about rhyming with mole, that was actually my idea from the start! I had a list of things that rhymed with mole, a lot of which didn't go into this animation (one is "toll") and it was simply because I couldn't find a way to make a tangible story-line if I did, so there was some opportunity cost there...
And indeed, music is NOT my forte, and neither are vocals =P
Actually, I asked TheWeeble if he could do something real quick but he was way too busy... I decided I'd worked wayyy too long on this, and decided to just risk it and upload it as is. Thanks for the review! ^^
Cute :)
This is a very cute flash (I just like moles, heh), the graphics and the animations look very good and the lyrics are funny.
The bad thing about this flash is that it's hard to read the lyrics and watch what is going on on the screen at the same time. So someone who reads or sing along to the music would be a good thing to have.

It all started when I drew some things about shrubs, clubs, cub, and the such in my rough book... a couple months later I did something similar with moles, souls, etc. Then decided it'd make a good animation =D
And the voice actor is something everyone sees as lacking in the animation... no worries, I'll get one if/when I do another submission akin to this one =D
Thanks for the review! (and yeah... it was difficult to get the mole so he looked... meagerly cute ._.)
They're called colons ;)
Not a bad piece, but it certainly could have used voice acting to get it all working together nicely. The piano / keyboard mole song was too quiet, especially when the flames of hell started to flicker.
If you added the lyrics to the piece, you'd end up with something that sounds a lot better and has another dimension. That way, you could expand it to some sort of mini chapters, where the mole acts it out, then part of the song comes in and carries us to the next part. How about that?
It's got potential, but sadly, it's not quite there yet.

blackcat2000 responds:
I know they're colons, it's easier for everyone to understand if I refer to them as :'s though =D
The voice acting was indeed something I tried again and again... it was just difficult to get the right pitches (me+singing=bad) and to get the right timings... There would usually be a line or two which was just a split second after or before they should be, making it sound really odd.
And I'm not entirely sure what you mean by lyrics, since my piece had 'lyrics' to it. Although really, this piece indeed had around 13 'mini-chapters' (except with the song throughout) which were individual scenes... it lagged a ton so eventually I took the painstaking effort to put it allll into one scene.
And yeah, I'm still working on my animation =P
Thanks for the review!
