[Hot Toffee Pudding]

This was really good work! It was enjoyable and evocative, and matched the song very well. The pizza-eating sequence was particularly great. Thanks for posting this, I liked it a lot!

36tomatoes responds:

Thanks, i thought the pizza sequence might go down well. live it , learn it! thanks for liking it!

[Gamer- Turbo]

Super retro 16-bit graphics -- the very image of cinematics from those early 1990s PC games. What a huge amount of work and rendering this must have taken!

I would like to know where the music is from and who composed it. The video goes with it most excellently.

spacefader responds:

[Narcissus]

Excellent animation and great music! I particularly liked your background designs -- very clean and evocative. Great work!

Pahgawk responds:

Thanks! Although I was still pretty lazy about it. It is something I definitely am trying to work on.

[Raw Latex]

I remember reading the original version of this delightful story during your tenure at Shonen Jump. I can only hope this is being made into a collectable card game right now, because I totally need to spend my money on that sort of thing and this seems perfect.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

aah yes shonen jump, good times.

[Moonsmash]

This was pretty stupid, but I have to admit that US$200 worth of vouchers is a pretty good reward no matter how you slice it! You could get some really nice shoes for that much.

richardpeel responds:

Indeed they did! They went out the very next morning and bought big, bouncy sports shoes. and they had a little bit left over for sausage, eggs and beans and a can of european-style lager beer.

[Bonehead: Halloween II]

Fantastic timing in this! Your rhythm was so great it carried into hilarity jokes that a lesser treatment would have dropped. Your cinematic animation was top notch, and the sound quality was a superb. I was thoroughly entertained.

I ate some candy and pretended it was Halloween for the duration, so that part turned out fine too.

CaseyAnimates responds:

Thanks for the review!
I actually thought this one might've been a bit too fast with the pacing, but I'm glad you thought otherwise. Rhythm and timing are really important to me, so I'm glad you liked it!

[Dan The Man Stage3]

These are unbelievably great for sprite movies! Your harnessing of common 16-bit side-scrolling gameplay and conventions to tell a complex story with surprising humor and emotion, interesting visual metaphors and rich characterizations is both innovative and fascinating -- particularly since you've done it all without text or dialog. Your timing is superb and your story construction is terrific. Well done for surprising me!

StudioJOHO responds:

Appreciate the detailed feedback, and compliments to timing. From animatic to rushes I hack and hack until there's as few wasted frames as possible.

[Fight Fight Fight!!]

A great loop! Expressive and interesting, with excellent use of 8-bit sound effects. Nicely done!

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks! I like making the bleep bloop bleeps!! 8D

[Wizard 101 Parody LOL]

Not a bad flash! And thanks to you I now never have to play the game. Thanks!

MinotaurusPro responds:

Lol, thanks.
