Haha totally rox!!!

You guys always rock. I love your work guys. Always with the awesome ideas and hilarious jokes! This secures you guys with a spot in my Favourite authors list.Congrats!

The graphics are great as always. I just love your animating style. the graphics never fail to impress me. The awesome colours, awesome animation and the comedy of it all. Its really easy to see what is going on due to great drawings and great animation. Obiviously i really like your style. First the animating style which ties into both graphics and style, is awesome as always. I love the feel to this particular movie, just waiting for that jar to explode. The anticipation was a great addition to the movie. Sound rocked. Awesome music throughout with very good audio quality. All the songs really helped the mood pop out there! Also the sound effects throughout were funny and just great overall. Obviously there was a big humour element in this. I laughed my ass of when the jar exploded. Just hilarious!!

Overall this was jsut great. I really cant get enough of your work guys. Please keep up the awesome effort!! 5/5

this was cool.

Definitely cool. I dont think ive seen a comic before, or not one this good submitted to newgrounds. It was a different experience and i enjoyed it.

I liked the graphics. The drawings definitely rocked. One thing is for certain, this is the best animated comic ive seen on Newgrounds. Ive seen some poor Nurse joy pron ones but yeah thts it. I wouldnt compare those to this. The style was great, i liekd this comic. Its a fairly unqiue way to animate on NG, and it just looked cool to me. Thanks for making the speech bubbles dissapear rather than making us press a button everytime. Sound was good, but since it was a comic no sounds could really happen. Only the song had sounds there and maybe one or two KzzK's of the phone thingy. Nice audio quality by the way.

Overall, very well done. I enjoyed it and i think many other people did too. Keep up the awesome work! PLEASE!!! 4/5

Good. Simply good.

To tell you the truth, i was a little skeptical about the whole Silent Film thing but it turned out pretty nicely. The graphics were good overall. I really liked the drawings and i found them a little scary, and they helped with the mood. I would have liked to see more animation though. I liked your style, and the mood that came along with it. Animating style was pretty unqiue, and the mood was just a little bit freaky but definitely cool. Song was good, but thats all there was to the sound. I know its becuase its a silent film but to fix the sound problem, make it longer to allow more songs to happen. Audio quality was definitely good though.

Overall it was good, with a few minor things to improve on. Keep it up though, you got skillz. 4/5

Ha great work! Love the idea!

Great man! Where would you come up with an idea like that. Halo and Worms Mixed!?! A seemingly bad combination. But this was really good.

The graphics were good but not the greatest. Or maybe you were trying to make it look like the computer game, if you were you did a fantastic job. The actual animation was smooth, no choppy periods at all. The Master Cheif, and the rest of the Halo worms looked cool. I love your style, Halo/Worms combination. Just creative as hell. Honestly i dont think anyone would think of combining the two vastly different games. Graphics looked like computer game, so good animating style aswell. There was some violence, however it wasnt bloody. That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on people's tastes. There was humour aswell, mostly in the voices of the characters and the funny looking Grunt worms. I liked the sound overall from the voices to the variety of sound effects.

Overall it was a blast to watch. Try to make it clear if you wanted it to look like the computer game or not. That is my only problem with this flash!! 4/5

That was really good.

all around a very good flash, but you did something that i have not seen very often. You got me immersed in the compelling story. I just couldnt help but liking this. The graphics were great and so was the animation. But i felt at sometimes a little more detail could have been helpful in the environments. this is not a big problem. I really liked your style too. Once again with the immersive story and plot, but also with your animating style, and story telling skillz. Animating style was cool, fairly unique and skillful all the way through. I liked the way the story was told and well the story itself.
I really enjoyed the sound becuase it helped out with the mood. The songs throughout were all very cool and very well chosen to suit the mood you were trying to make. The sound effects throughout were pretty cool aswell. I liekd the violence in this, not too cartoony, and not to guresome...just perfect. There was enough violence to satisfy any craving.

Overall this was just great. Great story, good animating, godo sounds...all you really need. Congrats on this! 4/5

Holy sh*t, that was amazing!

That was incredible, brilliant, flawless, amazing!! So many words i could use to describe this masterpiece of an animation. This had some elements of flash that i havent seen better anywhere else. This is truely an amazing piece of art! Professonal almost!

The graphics were fantastic. I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw that first shot of those mountains, the land appeard cursed and seemed to be brimming with evil. If thats what you were trying to do you did a perfect job. The actual artwork was incredible and the animation wasnt nothing short of flawless. I couldnt believe how insane the animation was at some points. So smooth and you did it with detailed as hell graphics. It was awesome to see so many different animating styles in one movie. Really artistic, to smooth animation. Well it was all really artistic... You made the creatures look really scary and haunting. The rain and lightning were done amazingly. The front yard was also really artistic. The inside of the house was no worse than the rest of the artistic environments.

Your style was wicked. It was extremely cool and this also ties in with your many animating styles, all of which were amazing.The freaky feeling to the movie must have been hard to do. You nailed it perfectly. And just how i felt wacthing the movie was weird, i was so amazed at all this work youve done.The main character is one of the best and cool looking characters on Newgrounds. Just brilliant in the aspect of style.

Sound could not have been better in my opinion. The sound effects throughout were crazy! Every last one you had was just so awesome! There were so many, it felt like a movie. They were clear, very easy to hear, and just perfectly chosen. Too cool to describe your sound effects. On top of some really great sounds, the songs you had did the trick aswell. In this it was probably better not to have many songs, it set the mood much better. The many sound effects were all you needed, but the song just made it better. Audio quality was pretty sweet despite the file size.

Overall it was one of the best things i have seen in a very long time, well put it this way: Its good enough in my opinion to go in my favourite submissions. Awesome graphics, awesome style, and fantastic sounds made this what it is: a true masterpiece. Please make more i cant wait for the next one!!! 5/5

Hahaahaha that could not have been funnier!

Wicked awesome job on this. This totally rocks for many different reasons. I will explain each one in one of my "Typically Lenghty Reviews"

To start us off the graphics were awesome. The animation of the two characters, Thomas and Darwin, was awesome. The actual drawings of them were great and then you topped it off with some truely good animation. The backrounds, like the snow and bench and stuff, were also drawn very well. I like the colours you used in this aswell. Graphics were just awesome overall, and they definitely did the job. Style was great, i like your animating style. Also its just great when a flash is crammed full of hilarious jokes just as this was. I loved the sound in this movie. First the audio quality was really good, improved over the first for sure. I liked the sound effects quite a bit. The sounds were funny and also clear and easy to hear. But the best part about the sound was the voice acting, it was just flat out hilarious. Now to obviously the best part about this flash: the humour. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!! LMAO!!!! This is just the kind of stuff i find funnier than anything else. Totally random jokes and of course i like lots of them. I cant recall a joke in this that didnt actually make me laugh out loud.

Overall i loved it ...a lot. You guys got a fantastic sense of humour that obviously hasnt gone unnoticed. Good work guys! Keep it up!!! 5/5

Man, Congrats!

This was crazy, i just loved it so much!!! Everything about it was just awesome. You did a great job of making this very amusing to watch. Thanks for the 2 minutes or so of fun!!!

Graphics were awesome. I loved the more art intensive parts, then the more animating style. Some parts of this were really detailed, and they were amazing actually. Some parts it seemed were more meant for animating, and at these parts the art wasnt so intense. you had many different graphical styles in this one movie, and that was just cool to see. The animation ,by the way, was smooth and overall very well done. I loved your style in this movie. I mean mostly how it was presented, from the many different graphical styles(Black and white to art intensive) to how the fight was just in his imagination at the end(unuqie way of making a movie). All the animationg styles were awesome and the story was funny,yet still good. The sound was excellent. the sound effects were cool and well chosen. Audio quality was great but what made up most of the sound was the songs changing according to the mood. I can recall a dark slower song when the monster showd up and a more heroic song when he won the first part of the battle. Changing songs according to the mood is a difficult thing to do. I liked the violence in this, there was enough but it wasnt so gruesome that i vomit..you know what i mean. Great sense of humour aswell. The humour didnt so much come from jokes and comments but more from what happens in the animation and the story line.

Overall i really enjoyed this. Im surprised at its score, i think it should be much higher than that. Anyways i loved this and you should definitely continue with the effort in the future! 5/5

it came out great....

though some elements could use a little improvement. I liked the graphics , but there wasnt much detail in them. The animation that you did have was good. It seems your art style is still in development. For style you only got a 7 becuase its yet another star wars spoof. Still it was different than the rest with everything happening so quickly. Still a good style overall. Sound was good, i enjoyed the voice acting and the few sound effects that you had. I recommend using a few more next time. The voice acting was good, some sounded funny, some sounded talented. Audio quality was pretty good! I liked the humour in this,and as i said it was slightly different than the rest of the star wars spoffs ive seen recently. The characters didnt really move anywhere but due to the style it wasnt necessary.

Overall it was good, take it some of the critism some of us reviers are giving you and use it to make an even better flash in the future! 4/5

In that short amount of time....

...many great things happened. You did a great job on this. I have only problem with this and im sure you can guess what that it....length. This was way too short, but it was good for how short it was. The graphics were awesome, partly becuase of your animating style and also the smooth animation. The cartoony style to the short movie was great. Really cool how you did it this way. Sound was pretty great too. All the funny, cartoony sound effects gave it more of a cartoon feeling, and i think thats what you were trying to do. The audio quality was good from what i heard. There was violence but not enough to get more than a 5 for that, also the violence wasnt brutal. Again it was like in a cartoon. The humour came from the sound effects of course and the massive hammer.

Overall i really liked it. It would have been so much better if it were longer. If it was longer more things would be able to happen, more animation, more sounds, more violence and definitely more humour. Make your future submissions more lengthy if you can!! 4/5
