Its Zoop! I haven't played Zoop in so long! I love your presentation, and you've done a great job.

Throw a preloader on it, and you've got a really great file here. The animation was well done for the style, and the moral was great. Glad my son's only two so he'll eat whatever since he doesn't know its good for him yet. I liked it. You could easily clean it up in Flash. It you adapt your style to vector, then I think you really got something great here.

I do enjoy getting certain achievements, depending on the game, but you're right. Some games are just ridiculous with them. The Simpsons Game had one just for pressing start on the title screen, though that was a joke for achievements as well. While Guitar Hero III has one for beating it on Expert both Righty AND Lefty. That's just not possible for most. Your points on achievements are valid, and presented in a comical light that I thoroughly enjoyed. Well done.
And on a side note, this movie should have NG Medals in it. ^_^

I'm sorry, but putting scrolling text and a cat face over a Souljaboy video and then adding a song that doesn't fit at all does not make entertainment. It makes portal trash. You're simply banking on the popularity of your elements, and not putting any time or effort into this whatsoever. Plus, I have this sneaking suspicion that you don't even know what Jem was. Am I right?
My advice for you, if you plan on making another video in a similar vein, is to find a song that FITS the video you're editing, has some sort of valid comedic value other than its misplacement, and actually put some animated elements into it.

It was definitely a decent animation. Nothing spectacular, but you delivered all that was needed. Like somebody said before me, its "thatched roof cottages" not natural. Practice your skills and something even greater could come from this.
Oh, and you really should at least credit the creators since you used their character and song. Didn't see any. (Wasn't looking that hard though.) Just throw it into your authors comments too, just to be safe. ^_^

...hearing Teddy Bear Picnic play in a duck related game was a little strange. Still, a great puzzle concept done really well. Keep it up. ^_^

This is nothing but Boomshine without the sound. The sound was what helped to make Boomshine such a hit. The only other difference is the screens between levels. Besides that, it looks like you did nothing but decompile Boomshine and throw your own font in. Plus, with there being no reviews stating anything negative thus far, your author's comment makes you look guilty of theft. Be more original. If your going to rip off somebody else, at least make it look like you tried.

I rated this at 2 stars for only two reasons. 1) Your videos were somewhat impressive. 2) You were able to properly make buttons and a loading sequence, though the buttons were generic public domain ones and there was no proper way of knowing when the loading progress would be complete.
This really isn't classified properly. Its a collection of short movies. HAVING BUTTONS DOES NOT MAKE THIS A GAME. Also, the music in the background was the only sound you had. Not very impressive in terms of a flash movie.
Another reason this isn't getting a good rating is because you have posted video evidence of blatant health code and (I assume) company policy violations. I'm sure your state Health Department and Subway's corporate offices would LOVE to know that a unicycle wheel has been on public surfaces in that store. Not a smart move on your part. Sure, you were jumping from a high place, but if I knew where that Subway was, saw this, and knew that I shopped there, you'd lose a customer. That's honestly disgusting. Last thing I want to think about while you make my sandwich is if the food you're using was on that metal table in the back.
While you may have skill and balance in your talent, you lack skill and intelligence in your presentation. Hope your boss(es) don't watch this.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS?!?!?!"
Not only are these pointless, with little to no actual animation, but they are nothing but trash in the portal. You do nothing but load GIANT songs into the flash, giving this a huge file size for what it is. If you knew what you were doing, these shouldn't even break 1 Meg. Also, you do nothing but swap out a few images and tag your "intro" on the front, and submit. There's nothing to that. These, and all of their idiotic spinoffs, are worthless spam that need to be deleted along with their author(s).
Author's Response:
I hate to break it to you, but you're far from anyone special. People shouldn't have their accounts deleted for submitting submissions which you personally don't like.

This was an entertaining diversion, that's for sure. The concept is original, and you made a Ninja vs Pirates plot that was actually believable (for the context). That's commendable. My issues are with your level button. When you beat a level, you have to click in the middle of the screen. Going back and forth from arrow keys to my mouse feels tedious and repetitive, especially since the levels are somewhat short. This should become a key press, the spacebar would do fine. Also, about what Leix said about a better button. An easier thing to do is just put a rectangle in the HIT frame of the button's timeline. Nobody sees that part, and the rectangle is what Flash would use to detect the button's area. No need for layers or alpha effects. (Unless you want them. ^_^)
All in all, this game is wonderfully enjoyable, and I do hope to see a sequal.
