Reviews for "DeathArena"

It was ok...

It was pretty good, except the sounds and graphics were kind of...how to put this...Lame. Other than that though it was highly creative, and the viewers i think got the message of what was happening. So good job...and i read the thing under the play menu, it said u answered stuff in here. So i was wondering if u could tell me how the hell u got a flash portal...if u dont get this its ok.

HomerDough responds:

huh?

Eh...

I'll admit, adding the subtext and plot made it MUCH better than the first but it still doesn't cut it.

The animation is killing it more than anything now. So you have the plot idea worked out. Now you need to clean it all up! A complete overhaul of the animations would help you the most now. All of the animations are painfull to watch.

The blob characters aren't too bad, in fact, blob characters can work out very well if you use them right. The background needs serious attention. It looks like...well like it was done in 5 seconds. Pay more attention to details of the background. They are almost nothing, mostly just filled colors or gradients. Filled colors can work if they are the right colors. Nothing is even moving in the background; the only things that are moving anywhere are the little blob people. For the intro of the different blobs you could have it look like a crowd of people taking pictures just by making a grey background with a bunch of same-size, different color dots and having little flashes of light all around it. I'm just trying to give you some ideas.

It moves too fast and its far too short. With the speed of the movement, you hardly have any time to enjoy or even read the subtext. It really needs to be longer and have more levels. And if only one blob survives the first round, it makes the second seem like a waste.

As a newbie, you should expect to have lots of movies blammed at first until you get a feel for flash. So don't give up hope.

HomerDough responds:

it passed with a 2.00 score so i more than happy. Its my first animation flash.

Good ideas though

It was alright

It needs to be a little longer though.

HomerDough responds:

ok

yay!

haha well done well done not bad at all really. Uhm not very good graphics but I like the concept of death arena. Make it longer and put a little more effort into it and I bet you anything ur gunna get great scores and reviews. overall alright movie!

HomerDough responds:

thanls

I want to like it, but...

I'm sorry, amigo, you actually put in some heart and thought in the story, and it's better than my usual Blam of the Day, and the music was a good choice...

But... the text runs by a bit fast, and pictorally... it just ain't there. I hope you can work on the art and the look, or get on good terms on a good graphics artist.

Don't give up, though. Keep working on it.

HomerDough responds:

I'm not an animator. I had fun making this. I just want it to get an okay score instead of a 1.77 like last time
