[Spider-Ninja 2]

Really enjoyable.

Now i havn't seen the first one of these but im sure to watch it now. Animation was very smooth and good. cartoony but realistic. It flowed really well the only thing i would say about the animation is you need to really pay attention to the detail if you want to make a trully great flash. I mean i noticed a few times the background seemed to have been drawn small then just dragged bigger as the pixels were chunky and it was slightlly blury. IM not sure if this was intended if it was i apologise but i felt that it didn't suit. Also on some part i felt you needed a bit more in th background not just a genericlly green grass and blue sky. The music suited the animation perfectlly and look forward to seeing many more submissions from you in the future keep up the good work.

[The Faces Of Newgrounds]

A nice new idea.

I liked it. It was an original idea, as far as i know, and it was kinda cool seeing the faces of some of newgrounds flash artists, as most of us only know them by their display picture in their profiles. I disagreed with the keeping of the neames till last, i recon they should have been underneath the pics. Because i'd forgoten them by the time the names actually came up and there were a few guys i thought lol who is that. Another problem was allthough they were all diffrent people there is only so many faces you can pull while having your face pressed against a scanner and i did get a bit bored about two thirds of the way through.

And i don't get why people are voting low because it's a slde show, it was made in flash, therfore its a flash. So it has every right to be on newgrounds, and i think anyone voting low just on that fact should open their minds more and stop being so close minded about what is aloud on newgrounds.

yeah it's definitely not a video. so they're idiots.

[London Riots: The Game]

good concept

i liked the concept of this game being the rioters and trying to avoide the police while still looting. I think its just not done as well as it could be. I would have liked to have seen bigger more free roam style levels were you could wander around a district in london or anywere else and the police would respond to your actions. Destroy a shop the police would cordon off the area and you'd have to get away in time ect. As i played this game i did notice that levels were very diffrent in difficulty, especiaqlly the second compared with the first, it needs to be a more gradual slide. I do think this game could be improved a lot and be much better. That being said i did like the aspects of the game such as police would be distracted putting out flames on cars.

As too the people voting low because they think its disrepectfull to what actually happend please man up a little. i bet you've played war games were people died and not thought well this is terrible to the people who actually died in the war. It is just a game he is not blaring a massive message on screen saying looting is good. its the internet.

[Riskful Thinking]

Serious faults

Graphics are good but could be better 7/10
Music is good but gets annoying very quicklly 5/10
Gameplay. Allthough the game is centerd around a casino style setting 100% of the games on levels 1,2 and 3 are luck. You don't even put odds on anything winning. That is one problem that i would rectify if i was you like odds on each boxer winning in level 3. I carried on and managed to get to level 4 through sheer determination, a wasted hour and good luck. THEN on level 4 i spent all my money on buying share which then went up in price. So i sold them. but i didn't get any money back. so out of my 101000 money i only had 250 loef even though i had sold the shares for a profit. This happend repeatedlly so this is a very big glitch that needs to be sorted out. i Doubt many people have had the patients to get to level 4 to discover this though. 2/10
Animation was goo but probablly could have been done a little smoother and there wasn't actually that much to animate. 6/10.

[Toss the Turtle]

new update not good

like the game as an overall i just disslike the latest update i think it makes the game to hard. There seem to be more flying traps and you don't seem to go as far wgen your bouncing or shot out of the cannon. It's still great as an overall game but i now can bearlly get over 100k when i was very nearlly at the 50 mile point b4.

[Link]

Nice

I really like this image. Its well drawn cartoony and coloured pretty well. It's your own version of link and it looks good. I really love the detail on the sword that my man is something to be proud of. The block colours and light shading also add to the cartoony feel of the picture. The picture looks very natural because of the lack of black lines inbetween each diffrent colour. There are a few things i say could be improved. Details on some parts like his hands. its hard to notice individual fingers. Maybe some darker shading too define the lines. And (this may just be me) i thought the shading was slightly off in some places. But overall a good piece that i enjoyed seeing.

[Original Pok3gangstas]

Great picture

Not having played any recent Pokemon games this took me right back to my childhood of sitting outside with friends in the sun trying to level up. A good overall picture with plenty of character and cutness about it. There are a few aspects i think could have been improved upon with maybe a little more time put into it. In some places the drawing looks a little rough around the edges and sometimes the colour slightly goes outside ot the lines of the character. This wouldn't be a problem but with a dark background the tiny blue blob outside of the lines on Squirtle stands out more than it usually woould. Some of the shading seems to be slightlly off as well. I know these arn't big things and im not taking away from the amazing picture you have created here but overll i'd say slightlly more time taken and youll be an amazing artist. I look forward toseeing more of your stuff in the future.

Art-8/10 really good but could do with a little more finnes and time taken to clean it up. Also not that much detail and i know this wasn't your goal it was meant to be a cute pictre of characters from pokemon but a tony bit more detail could have gone a long way.
Colouring-8/10 Like i said i think the shaddowing is off in some places. It makes it seem as if light is shining on them individually and not a group if that makes sense. Like i said earlier a tiny bit more time would have improved the overall apearence of the piece i believe.

[T-Shirt]

Good comic strip

This is one of my favorite little comic strips i have seen in a while. Its pretty perfectlly balanced in my opinion. The art is very good not to etailed for a fun cartoon and not to simple, It catches the balance perfectly so as soon as you see the first picture you know its going to be a funny cartoon. The colouring is also done nearly spot perfect, i like the way you made the background of the second scene slightly darker thus stopping all three scenes from bluring into eachother and causing each one tostand out slightly as the background colours arbt the same from one to the next. The joke also fits in perfectlly with the three scene comic strip that you have put it with. Not Histerically funny but make you smile a little and chuckle uner your breath. All that can be asked for from a short like this. I know a few people who wear t-shirts like this and so i can relate to the characters and i think everyone has one friend that wears a t-shirt with a supposedlly funny/ironic/rude words/image on them. I congratulate you on an amazing short comic strip ( i could honestlly see this in my local news paper) and i look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
Art- 9/10 A near perfect show of art for a short comic strip. The only thing i would say was maybe a tiny bit more attention to a few details.
colouring- 10/10 a really good colour scheme simple yet effectiv for a comic.
Humour-10/10 all you can expect from a short cartoon like this. To make you chuckle and slightly brighten your day
