[Dia & Tofu : Episode One]

ehhh

If you're going to start something new you can at least come up with a new loop for people talking. At no point does the tongue stick all the way out of the mouth when talking, and especially doesn't happen every 4 seconds

[The Tail's Ghost]

a cliche goldmine

Sonic the Hedgehog? Check!
Random J-Pop? Check!
Emo Tears? Check!
If I didn't know any better I would say this is a brilliant parody of what fourteen year-old boys think is powerful, emotional, and dramatic.

[cupcake?]

very nice!

I like this very much. You made the pixelation look too easy. I was wondering what your secret was, but after reading some responses, I'm guessing you just did some old fashioned and time consuming importing and exporting?

TheBoogley responds:

yep, the imports and outports of pixellation were a trial. It took about 6 hours to do, it was an idea which came to me and I had to do it. I might do it again sometime, but only if it's integral to the movie.

[Megaman vs Ghosts&Goblins]

SImply Incredible, Sprites done right.

I've found myself getting into the whole megaman craze lately, probably because they recently released the Anniversary collection recently and it has incited many memories of my childhood. This game adds to the nostalgia fest and fills my need to play more Mega Man levels.
Some may be reluctant to give this entry a chance at first due to the name and nature of Newgrounds being flooded with sprite movie fodder. Luckily this is not the case. Your emulation of the classic gameplay is damn near flawless. The level of difficulty is right on par with the first few Mega Man games. You've given new life to a much loved classic that seems to be basterdized on a daily basic.
It may seem enough to just recreate a simple sidescrolling recreation of some game, but what really sets this apart and suprised me was the compatiblity to another version of this game. Whereas playing one level over and over again would get boring, the idea being able to save between games opens up a whole world of possibilities.
If I had to think of one negative about this game I'd say that the level design was a bit more spacey compared to MegaMan vs. Metroid where you utilized space more efficiently. The use of the Overclocked remixes was also a nice touch. Maybe you could also throw in some MiniBosses covers? Anyways, great game.

[DNA clock teaches tweens]

Didn't really teach you how

The movie didn't tell you how to do it, but I'll let you in on the secret. It's called shape hints and they help a lot.

FlashWeasel responds:

yea didn't you read the test in the last scene? it said that it didn't tell people much because i dont want people uploading flash movies with shape tweens in them... i simply just dont like them...

[galactic stampede]

This is great

The graphics are awesome and everything is just very well done. It reminds me a lot of the old sierra games like king's quest. Good Job on this!
