[I'm only sleeping...]

Great Choice of Music.

I'm eternally happy to see some other people listening to and loving the Beatles album tracks rather than just their Greatest Hits stuff - having grown up listening to the Beatles and learning to appreciate their lesser known work (especially as I tend to preffer John Lennon as a writer and singer) I found this music choice highly refreshing - but enough about that.

The animation... could have been so much more realy. The colours seemed a little too bright and basic and I get it if you were possibly going for the whole psychedillia edge but it just seemed a little too... "loud." - Like a reviewer said below me it does have potential. Maybe try a different Beatles song with a more obvious story or narrative to it such as... "Being for the Benefit"... "Doctor Robert" or maybe even something obvious like "Yellow Submarine" haha... perhaps not THAT obvious a choice though. - it'd be nice to see you animate a full story really.

up-a-notch responds:

Ok sure :) glad to see you like the beatles too!

[The Lazy Fox]

Cool

Doesn't really say much about what the final product will be like - but cool - I like the whole style with the trees/bushes and clouds - I especially liked the animation of the fox turning his head. It'll be cool to see how it turns out.

[Pico heart broken]

Pretty Awesome

Nothing to complain about really is there? - does exactly what it says on the tin. Loved the ending, all in all made me chuckle - I loved all the crazy facial expressions. The only thing I didn't much like was the writing on the screen - stuff like "Nene's Parents" could've been achieved smoother through an image, but that's more my own little prefferences than yours, so I'll not mark you down for it. The music fit perfectly. Really liked the style.

[Sushi Cat]

Incredibly Addictive

The majority of internet based games don't tend to hold my interest for very long, but this is one of the few flash games that I've found really quite addictive and a lot of fun. The premise of the game seems basic, but quickly becomes quite challenging and the short movie sequences caught my interest and hightened my determination. I genuinely wanted that cat to get the girl! haha
And also the character is albeit simply designed but very memorable, I loved it!

[Fireflies (Owl City) - Cover]

Fantastic

I'm not actually that keen at all on this song. But your version, I loved - I saw the music video you made around it - the only problem is, in the music video it has that wonderful piano part that you're playing whilst singing - I absolutely loved that - but it was absent here, which is a real shame. That's the only reason I'd deduct a point because that lovely twinkly piano was one of the reasons I really liked your version - besides that, it's brilliantly put together - a really good cover that I preffer to the original, somehow, it just doesn't annoy me at all whereas the original version does.
