Ninja don't automatically make it good

I don't want to be a jerk, but this shouldn't have been submitted. This is a test animation, at best, that should have been shared with friends and family. As it is, there is very little animation, the drawing skills are remedial at best, and the plot is nonexistant.

You need to practice for at least a year, learning how to draw and tween in flash, before you attempt to submit anything again. Not everyone can draw, but I believe that with practice, anyone can get the hang of it. You just need to put in the hard practice before your flashes will be any good.

But yeah, take it from a seasoned ninja: this movie makes me ashamed of my heritage.

-The Ninjkabat

This is a well put together variation of the rhythm click game. The interface is solid, the effects give it a nice atmosphere, and the song choice is pretty darn good. I have to give it to the creator that they did a pretty good job of putting it together.

However, like most rhythm games on the site, the actual rhythm aspect of it was off. To start, the timing of the rings is usually early or late; clicking right on the beat earns you a good whereas clicking before the beat gives you a perfect. As a percussionist this ruins the game for me, since I get a better score when I play the game without sound. Another problem that I had with the rhythm set up is that many of the songs don't seem like the creators actually consulted any percussionists when they were creating their click track. Their choice of when to use 1/8th notes and when to switch it to 1/4 notes seemed arbitrary and didn't flow naturally. It's difficult to create a natural flow when you're not a percussionist though, so I'm not letting that aspect affect my overall review score.

So, all in all, a nice game. I just hope for future releases the creator does more beta testing to make sure the beats sync better with the song (try a higher frame rate) and possibly consults a percussionist to help make the tracks.

Poor Taste

I'm all for the comedy at a historical person's expence, but this still seems to be in poor taste. Playing the Helen Keller card in a game of apples to apples is one thing, but to go out of your way to make something like this to get a laugh just feels like you're going too far.

So, I'm giving a score I think is fitting of how long this took you.

If you were anyone but Glaiel-Gamer, this would be blammed as spam put on the portal for attention; I'm definitely ashamed that you thought posting this would be ok.

Not worth the coding

While I am still a supporter of using Newgrounds as your own petty attack system as much as the next user (which is to say, not at all), I still must say that this lovely little pile of cropped jpgs and hyper music is not worth the coding you put into it.

You have
-A boring concept. Let's face it: even the original Deffender got boring once the novelty wore off.
-Little to no animation. A tiny loop of one of your friends doing pelvic thrusts will hardly get you an 'A' in an arts' school.
-A muffled firing sound effect. I can't tell if you're saying "troll golf" or "frog rolf," and I'm sure any number of websites have free gun sound effects available.
-A difficulty curve that fails to entertain. I know from experience that coding is hard, but if I could understand in high school the mechanics behind writing the code for a learning tic-tac-toe algorithm, I think you can figure out a way to increase the difficulty of the game as time wears on. Even if the target got smaller, that would be something.

So, petty, immature, myspace-styled attack aside, you made one horrible game. Good job covering up that fact with your misinforming submission icon and your choice of a hyper-remix of an overused internet meme of a song. Please spend longer than one hour on your future submissions, and in return, the users of newgrounds will stop giving you such a horrible score.

Stealthily yours,

Very capable

This is a great royalty free version of a public domain song. I see no reason why it won't be used in Christmas themed flashes in the future.

Great work. You did a very capable job.

All over the place

The song is too all over the place; it doesn't know when it wants to be. There's no real beat (I tried to pretend the bass beats were dotted quarters to no avail) and no meter. I even tried to count in fives, sixes and sevens, but couldn't find a rhythmic pattern.

Also, aside from the rhythmic apathy, there seems to be no real unifying theme or phrases that helps me to identify the song. The whole thing gives the impression of someone randomly pressing keys on an overdistorted Casio. Work on you composition before you worry about the levels of your tracks, but having a balanced song will help it to be more popular.

I could see this being used in some sort of acid-trip flash, but not really much else.

A much better use of your tallents

I believe that this song is a pretty good use of your tallents. There was nice parallel rhythm structure running throughout, a very classic chord progression, and the background drums really added to the song. There were only a few things that rhythmically felt like they didn't fit upon first listen, but I can't even hear them anymore.

It's quite catchy, upbeat, and transitions pretty nicely as a loop from the end back to the beginning. Overall, much better than your mercinaries 2 song. I would stick with this style of music if I were you; you seem to have more flare for it.

A few problems, but still alright

There are a few anatomical problems with this, and I know I'm going to get a "ur an as$hole. i don't care" response, but I feel like they should be mentioned.

One is the wrist. I don't know about your wrist, but normally they don't bend as much side-to-side as they do up-and-down. The way you have her wrist bent makes it look like her bones form a spiral. Even if the intention was to make it bend straight down, the lack of flair at the base of the palm and the incorrectly lengthed fingers just make it look more like an octopus tentacle than a graceful feminine wrist and hand. Wrists can be sexy and graceful. You should practice those.

A small note should be mentioned about the calf muscle. Unless you're drawing the hulk, you shouldn't make up muscles. And as it is, it looks like the leg is bending at an extra joint.

Last, and most important: Boobs don't attach at the collarbone. I don't know if you've ever seen any, but they usually attach about 2 - 2.5 inches down from the collar bone, and are affected by gravity. I know that you could say "shes wering a pushup bra, b1tch," but that has to be one hell of a pushup bra to push them up to the collarbone. Even bras with an under-wire don't change where they attach to the chest, it just brings them up to that level. Looking at the preview images for you other artwork, this seems to be a problem you experience a lot. So I recommend taking a life-drawing class, or, even cheaper, just finding pictures of naked models on the internet and tracing them. It'll really help your boobs look more realistic and help fix your anatomy in general.

So, that's all I have to mention. Overall it's not bad - the proportions and the clothing folds are adequately executed. I would have given it 8 stars, were it not for the aforementioned anatomy problems and for the fact that this is still a sketch. Congrats on the front page and all.

Quite interesting

You made good use of the heavy-inked deep shadows, and your control of them was pretty darn good. I also liked the overall effect of your underlighting, but there were a few points where I thought the execution was a bit spotty (eg. the folds of the center character's clothing). But overall you did a pretty splendid job of creating a picture from 4 tones. If this was your first attempt at extreme contrast lighting, then I'd say you should definitely practice some more. With a little refinement, I think you have the talent to master the technique.

An interesting take

Well, this is certainly an interesting take on one of the more mysterious creatures in a Miyazaki film. The bold, jagged lines are a real departure from the traditional blobby and round interpretation of the character. It looks almost as if Kaonashi was mixed with Venom.

I like your choice of muscle lines for the black background of the character. It's very fitting.
