PROS
- Very nice story line
- U put ur heart into it, lot of good work, ideas (nice ending etc)
CONS
- A LOT of design mistakes. For example : sprites mixed with blood lines not in 8-bit fashion, flames of the beginning cut in the top, some cheap effets, repetitive sliding background, mirrorer background (sometime with graphic defaults), use of colors that dont match everytime together, varying quality of sound (sometimes high quality, sometimes crappy, most of time normal 8bit)
Well I m feeling bad making criticism over such a big work, but those mistakes hamper the overall impression a LOT !
Basically, problems are :
- Bad quality of SOME graphics (mainly backgrounds) and sounds, which should be improved
- MATCHING of colors and objects in a logical and fashion way (use a limited set of colors, otherwise it ll be "amateur like")
- Finishing details : lack of landscape details
You know what? I think you should learn the BLUR effect to increase adaptation of landscape to characters and effets. I m sorry to mention it, but take a close look at Alvin-Earthworm animations, which are quite perfect in those domains.
Your animations are not far from perfection, even if it looks like sometimes. Try to ask friends to be critic before releases, you miss a lot of little details to fix ;)
Anyway, thanks for the movie, I really enjoyed your work!
