In the first couple episodes, it was a nominal reflection of actual school life.

With each successive installment, we've gone further and further towards the internal/fanciful interpretation of it. This is what you'd expect to hear in a game of telephone or read a troll post.

It's funky, it's over-the-top, and it doesn't match 1-for-1 with reality("did it ever, tho?"). This is more a reflection of a teenager's impression of high school goings on, as opposed to the (warped) reality of it.

"It's been a weird cartoon since Episode One, Harlequin!" you say

Yes, I know. Alpha-Nuva's just letting his freak flag fly a little higher. It's good stuff, especially for exercising storyboarding/keys while still letting go. I appreciate the fuck out of it, even if I'd be interested to see what AN would do animating the Prince (from Snow White).

It's a good cartoon. Frustrating that each episode takes longer and longer, but it's one dude. It takes the time that it takes and it's obvious it's being done for fun more than anything else.

You put forward a "positive" viewpoint, but don't look to actually vindicate your viewpoint so much as passive aggressively assert that the persons speaking out are unreasonable and merely vitriolic in the face of, well...

You don't address the actual points being raised, but rather the method.

The same way you say that they are scared with agreeing with you if it got down to simple discussion, I feel that you are similarly intimidated in having to flesh out your ideas beyond the grand statements you've made in previous videos.

Let me be clear: this video is meant to discredit your detractors, not actually address a the debated issues or even so much as give a promise to provide a more detailed explanation of your beliefs in future.

Just because you do not attack head on does not mean you are not attacking, even when talking of peaceful things.

I'd love to see a fight at this tempo with a similar tune with actual characters.

This was an exceptional game at the time of its making

Since Flash has evolved, though, it's unplayable. The controls stick or do things completely opposite the input. What was previously a serene but stimulating experience is now a tedious shlog against a rebellious toon's seeming compulsion to suicide.

I just can't. Please update this title so I can enjoy it again.

This submission railroads you through typical conspiracy theorist talking points via simple game mechanics.

Awesome

I can't believe nobody's really listened to this. This is some brilliant synthing and sound design. I love the rather clever use of the various sounds and the syncopated rhythm. Keep up the the good work, man!

Although the flash you used this with...

... wasn't much to speak of, this is damn epic. In fact, I'll fave this.

Good luck with audio, dude...

Sweet

Only problem: your messing with the volume needs to stop. It breaks up an otherwise feckin' awesome song. Do a redo and I'll fave that and add it to my playlist...

Despite the fact that the source images RIGHT THERE ON THE CANVAS do not use a bold black outline, you decided to use one anyway. Couldn't you figure out how to use the eyedropper tool in MS Paint? For that matter, why the heck did you do this in the first place? As an exercise it's generally pointless and as an artwork submission it looks like something a second grader would print out and stick on the fridge with no small amount of pride.

"Madness" works have never failed to strike me as repetitive and mindnumbingly derivative.

You're free to depict what you want, but I feel you're wasting your man hours on things like this.

On a technical not, the enemy spawn doesn't stand out so much- more like some attempt at generic toothy monsters on a boardgame card than something meant to be expressive or cinematic.

The "hero" character also seems much more in the foreground than the monster he's supposed to be shooting- and if he's supposed to be that way and is firing more to his right instead of straight ahead, it's simply not comng across.

The composition of the whole piece is really stunted, with bits and pieces that just don't fit together. It seems like you started out with the characters and background divided up over multiple layers and as you went on developing the scene you realized how everything wasn't quite lining up. Furthermore, I feel that you tried to condense and edit things to fit- more like beat into place, honestly- and at some point threw up your hands. The end result is...confusing.

No hard feelings, love, but I feel like your hand has developed too far past your eye and it's beginning to really show.

Do you even know how shadows work???
