Hey Newgrounds!
It's been too long since I have uploaded a flash short! I have always wanted to finish this three part series and it's finally done! I have left it alone too long and now I picked it up and just finished it in a couple of months.
If I can gather enough inspiration and motivation, hopefully I can keep this up! Critiques and comments are welcomed. I have been working on this short too long to know how it looks from an outside perspective anymore.

Ah, I remember watching this when I was younger.
It really left an impression on me.
Back then I would have rated it a 5/5 because it was awesome and I know that you're no Terkoiz, but I think I'll speak my thoughts on it now. I don't know your current skill level in this but as of this animation, here are my comments:
1st: The Stick Figures and animation
They were too crude, too "polygonal". Yes, I know they are sticks but they are "human" in a way as well and humans can be very flexible. These guys seemed very restricted and stiff, yes that's the word: Stiff. They felt very stiff.
2nd: The "Brother"
Personally, if I saw my brother like that in a Zombie-esque world, even if he feigned sanity, I wouldn't trust him. Heck, he's a huge giant. I wouldn't go anywhere near him. The protagonist's willing-ness to help his brother baffled me, even when I was younger it was a little strange.
3rd: The dialogue
Personally, I had no problems with the "images" as dialogue. That was relatively straight forward as well. But when you actually had dialogue, it felt very...surreal. Again, this roots back to the protagonst's willingness to aid his mutated brother and the dialogue that came from it.
"Brother! It's me!"
No, I'd just call him by his name and say it's me.
"What did they do to you?"
I would go something along the lines of: "They did some weird shit to me and now I'm like this." and definitely not "They mutated me". Mutations are completely different, this is more of a metamorphosis or transformation.
There are good things though, many good things.
I still remember that one review with the guy who said "This was too fluid". I agreed with him at the time but this was worth making it fluid. The fight scenes may be lackluster and not as exciting but they were enjoyable nonetheless. This was also a bite-sized video capping off at just over 1 or 2 minutes. Also, the backgrounds.
They were sexy as fuck. Loved those backgrounds.

Thanks for this review! Thinking about making another one to update my stick skills to see where I'm at now!! Glad you enjoyed it.
damn that was ... wow :)
IaMI2002 responds:
Wow you!! Thanks for watching!
It's amazaing! I kept on laughing when the bad guy said,"What's in this bag?!" Now that he mentioned it, if the bad guy can lift his brother then how come he can't carry the bag full of guns?
IaMI2002 responds:
Magic ;) . Only the user understands his bag.
Bad Guy: Whats in this bag!
Good guy: REVENGE!!!
