The offense mode was the easier part of the game TBH. I like how you had to actually avoid all the falling bullets. Made it at least somewhat decent in difficulty.

"I laughed, I cried, I sat rapt with attention..."
Emotionally captivating and spiritually enthralling. The blubber motion makes a screen unlike anything I've seen since Antonio Banderas starred in that one famous movie too long ago.
The epic struggle between good and evil has never been so well presented. The coke (symbolizing the devil) struggles within the grasp of a being so well poised to continue walking along a 2-dimensional path that it seems the true battle may well only exist within out own minds. Then the flash reminds us via the ever-so subtle passing background tree that we too are intrinsically frail and could never hope to rise above the mundaneness of a sun with a smiley face and it's tongue hanging out unless we have the power of the sidewalk to assist us in our journey.
I had to dock 2 points off the overall score due to the fact that the cola drink had a straw in it while obviously being a red can container, which would naturally not require a straw. Also, the tiny umbrella was frumpy. But on the whole I think you showed an extraordinary amount of potential. The music worked well to support the animation in general.

it took like 5 years of the fine art of movie-studies at the university to get where i am today. his flash shows off everything i've learned, and a little more... i'm glad you could notice most of what i tried to communicate with this artwork. god bless you!

"Don't get me wrong, it's very good"
It is. It's just - after being spoiled by gems like the awesome the hedgehog (short but so effective) and under the awesome there is a certain expectation I have for these ones.
Maybe it's unfair to expect every cartoon to cause me to cry with laughter the first dozen times that I see it - but darn it, that's a good feeling when that's the case.
The general idea is still great regardless, and it's always fun to see the animation and ideas going around in your flashes. It just doesn't appear that some of the recent ones have the pure intensity of absurdity that made many of the older ones so classic in my mind. It could be that I simply got jaded from so many other good ones you've made.

Excellent little remix...tons of energy, well done drums (with some great spatial effects @ 1:20). There were parts that seems a tad disjointed. But it was still fun.
The beginning was definitely the most aptly engineered portion.

the way the bass lines modulate to create such rich progression and differing chords is phenomenal...
The timbre of the each instrument is excellent. The drums cut through effectively - I didn't enjoy the area after 2:00 at some points as much but then the way you mixed it up again near 3:00 was a perfect reprise. The piano-esque synth had some element of "magic dust" that gave it that perfect blend into the rest of the song. Great arp/delay part there. Just fantastic. Beautiful progression again around that area 4:00...
Simply wonderful. It could be improved a bit in areas that I can't really put my finger on, so a 10 nonetheless. A standout, in a sea of really mediocre efforts and abilities.

It's not crap. It's actually pretty sweet. Progression is lacking in a certain respect - but then again, it's a simple loop and it could just be design. Good work.
