Well
why is it that when i first watched it i thought of that old school cd game JumpStart 4th Grade and Nightmare Ned? ill never know. anyway, on to the review.
right off the bat, before we talk about the actual animation, slaughter of the english language in the introduction, im begging you not to be like most of the other flash artists here and actually check what you have typed before you create. its a small grievance and its how you operate but it just irks me.
Art: a combination of sticks, chibified, simplified, and then highly detailed closeups made up this animation, and to be honest they all worked pretty well. i havnt had the pleasure of seeing your earlier work, so i cant really elaborate on how your art has improved or went to hell and a handbasket, but for the intents of this flash they just seemed to fit. kind of reminded me of the game The Dead Case on newgrounds for some reason.
Animation: was fluid, but was not something that really caught the eye. it just felt like it was there. i could see that you were trying to convey a cartoonish feeling, the over exaggerated movements on Scaredy's part, and the jiggle effects on Small Arms as well as the somewhat amusing antics of HardTop Hans'. what i would suggest however for Scaredy's walking animation however would be more of a tip toes walk, not the long lopping motion, as well as reshape the body a bit more so it looks more natural as he hunches frightened.
Sound: someone already mentioned it before, but the sound was generic, used many times before, and didnt add much to the animation. it, along with the animation in of itself, was just there and didnt give or take away from the overall experience. i would suggest browsing around for some other music as well, because what i see here in the flash is potential but it seems like it got halfway there then decided to take a pitstop.
Overall: as far as some pilots for flashes go, ive seen better, however this series does seem to have a mildly interesting amount of potential. i know school most likely will hamper the quality of the animations afterwards, and my advice is to say dont rush it. i hope to see everything upped in following submissions. also, i greatly enjoyed the humor in the flash, despite what the rest of the review might convey, i chuckled during Scaredy's walk and the eventual destruction of the map. Good Job
on a side note, i named all 3 of your characters for you without even thinking about it.
Scaredy = blue
Small Arms = green
Hardtop Hans = red
sorry bout that
