Top 3 Best Flash so far this week.

Fantastic! Brilliant! Awesome! Near Perfection! So many words i could use ,none of which would be bad. This was actually really awesome. As i said this is one of the best flash so far this week. Without a doubt in the top 3 this week, the top 3 in my opinion also includes Secret Lives Of Squirrels and Bloodsucker(this was the definition of cool). This one my friend would be (just plain awesome). I will touch on every aspect of flash in my review so buckle up!

The graphics were quite good. The simple character designs actually turned out pretty well. I loved that animating style alot and i really wanna see more with that style. The detail in the backrounds was good but there wasnt an incredible amount, but for a good reason. If there was too much detail in the backrounds the style would be thrown off. The effects were prettyc cool, the explosions, slow motion, all were basically awesome. The one critism i have for the graphics is the grass, which could have been more than just green. Amazing graphics overall.

Your style in this movie was simply awesome. From the animating style to the feel to the movie. The mood was really upbeat, and also at some parts a little more tense and at the end very heroic. The upbeat nature made it a really fun thing to watch and to review as i remember some parts. The clips of Matrix parodies were great. They never get old.

The sound was damn near perfect, if not then it was perfect. The many sound effects and different music according to the mood made this seem professional. The sound effects were so awesome, because firstly there were so many, and secondly they sounded awesome, not overly exagerrated or anything. The music was so great, not only because it changed according to the mood you were trying to set, but also because it was just fun to listen to due to the individuality of each song and the high audio quality.

I liked how you did the violence. There was enough of it to satisfy a violence craving but you kept it clean, and without guts,brains, and blood. This allows more ages to watch the movie.

I absolutely love your sense of humour. There was the Matrix parody part, and many other jokes that made this hilarious. For example when it was slow motion, the ninja punched through the water droplet and the fish! LOL That was probably the funniest part in my opinion.

Overall it was fantastic, top 3 of the week as i said earlier. I really enjoyed it, please keep up the amazing work!!! 5/5

[Secret Lives of Squirrels]

Haha that was awesome!

Fantastic job on this. Its a bit of a shame the 30 free trial ended, you could have made this longer, woth more action and more humour! It was awesome either way, great work on every aspect. This was amazing, especially as only your second flash project.

I really liked the graphics, as they were done differently than the usual. They kind of had an artistic style to them, but at the same time a loveable cartoony style. The part where the squirrels were jumping around the tree had some awesome graphics and animation. The animation overall was really smooth. Nice swords!

Basically you had a perfect style in this movie. Out of control fun and squirrel fighting, combined with some impressive visuals and awesome music. You had everything you need for an awesome feel to the movie , for the style itself. It was really just a unique movie! Great fun ot watch!

Sound was awesome, despite only a few sound effects. The sound effects you did have were awesome, the sword sound and the tweeting birds were both great, they sounded real! Awesome song too, it really helped create and upbeat/out of control type of mood that i really enjoyed. To top it off the audio quality was impressive!

Some violence, no blood or guts or brains. It was moderate but sometimes having more than that isnt necessary.

I liked the humour in this. It was definitely funny but it wasnt based around the humour which is cool. The whole thing, even when there were no jokes, was funny, with the squirrels running around and fighting. The funniest part was where a perso walks by and the squirrels stop fighting. Then as soon as the person walks out of sight then begin fighting again. It was done in such a way that made it really funny.

Overall this was awesome, the definition of amusing flash. Awesome work, get flash and continue with the greatness!!! 5/5

What a great review, this is what makes spending the last two weeks drawing nothing but squirrels worth it. To be sure, I'll be doing more animations soon.

[My Childhood Pet]

A little short but great!!!

I really liked that. Very enjoyable to watch, becuase of the great graphics, funny voice acting, and plot. A solid flash overall!

Graphics were good, specifically becuase of the cool animating style and the awesome colours. The 2 people were drawn and animated quite well. I always enjoy good people drawing....???LOL
anyways animated of everything was smooth, so great on this aspect!
Style was awesome, i love the "amusement factor" of this...if that makes any sense. Its just everything was done in a way so no one can get bored with it. that is a hard thing to do so great job!
Awesome sound mostly due to the incredible voice acting. It was funny as hell listenin to that! LOL Great audio quality too!!!
This is funny, perhaps the funniest thing ive seen for the past few days. The funniest part was where he gets slammed in the face by the hammer by his friend. LOL! I actually really laughed at that part.

Overall this was great. So fun to watchand to review. Thanks a bunch for the enjoyment! Youre really becoming an awesome artist! keep it uup!!! 4/5

[Relax]

This was great!

Awesome work overall! Really awesome camera work and every aspect in flash you had in this were done very well.

To start off the graphics were awesome. You got an awesome art style that definitely should not go unnoticed. The black and white colour was a different way in doing things, but i enjoyed it. The first image of the tree got me instantly interested in this. The animation was pretty cool aswell. Your style rocked in this movie becuase of your animating style, the feel to the movie and the simple message. Animating style was unique as i said earlier, i loved the feel partly becuase of the music, and the simple message" Relax" was presented very well. The sound was great. Though there werent many sound effects or maybe any at all, the song was awesome and so was the audio quality. The song really set the mood well.Good Choice!

Overall it was very good and i enjoyed it quite a bit. Keep up the awesome work. By the way if it was longer i would have given a 5!!!! 4/5

LaserKarl responds:

Thank you, thank you again. Man, that review must have taken more time to write than to watch the moive itself. Thanks once more!

[Death of Billy's Lass]

just as good as the last!

Good job again. You got a really interesting style to your movies. That makes them imposible not to enjoy.

The graphical style is very unqiue and maybe its not the most detailed or best animated flash out there but it definitely deserves a look. Style is just great, as i said in the last review, freaky and a little twisted. Very unqiue story indeed.

Sound was good in this one and the last one. Its great how the sound changes according to the mood you are trying to set. The music is really interesting, i havnet heard anything like that before.

Just overall really good. Im very dissapointed that you lost interest in this, and i think many other reviewers are too. This is really an interesting series and its a shame its already over so soon. Anyways good luck with your other submissions. 4/5

Nice work!!

Nice job! This was different than most of the flash ive seen, so it made it fun to watch. The graphics were good, but sometimes just a little simple. I mean there could be more detail in soem areas. character desgin was unqiue due to your animating style, they looked kind of freaky, in a good way. The animation was good, but i felt it could have been a little smoother. Nice job overall on the graphics. Style rocked, the mood was kind of twisted and scary, i like it!! Animating style was good and the twisted story helped alot. Sound was good becuase of the music. Great job on chosing songs that fit the mood perfectly. The song's audio quality was good but the snoring at the begining could have been better.

Overall it was a ...different experience. Cool though, definitely good work. Keep it up! 4/5
