With the amount of length put into this movie, I can see why this took as long as it did, the movie seems pretty interesting, although the artwork is kinda odd, it seems to have a form of expression to it, can't really describe it. This appears to the start of something that has a lot of potential.
My only opinion on what should be improved on is the pacing of the movie, some scenes between the middle and the ending seemed to go a bit too fast to get a full grip of what was going on, so maybe decreasing the frame rate slightly at moments might make it better, just my opinon though.
Hope too see more.

Actually it's the denouement of something that may have a lot of potential. This art style was great, but it inflates the file size pretty badly. I was fighting pretty hard just to keep this animation under 30 MB. I'd like to try an art style of BG's similar to Icycle--that video game that's on the front page right now. I found that especially attractive.

I'm not really sure what this was about, but from what I can tell it seems like a Christmas poem. Although I admit its cute, this seems more like a digital picture book or slide show. Did you make the artwork yourself? For some reason I feel as though I've seen it somwhere before, but since I have no real grounds to go on, I won't deduct points for that.
Anyway, its ok, and maybe you could include a bit more of a explanation about your movie in the comments next time.
Merry Christmas.

"Not sure how to rate this... don't like the ending"
Although this is badass... I'm not sure if the custom sprites/effects were created by you or not... (if they were I'd give a higher score for creativity) I enjoyed the fight scene but after the next chatting part, that music part seemed to drag on... and on.... and on... then as a reward for my waiting, I get a "the end"... I understand that this is a demo, but if your going to do something like that in the full version, you should work on shortening it or adding in the credits so we can get a clear impression that its over.
Can't wait to see the full version.

This game was amazing, not only does it have aspects of origonallity in the game play, the audio and music fit extremely well, not only that, theres also an emergancy pause if you click out of the window! THAT FREAKING SAVED MY SKIN SO MANY TIMES! I LOVE IT! I don't really see any room for improvement, this games on the right track so far.

I saw the punchline in this movie coming from a mile away... Although the animation and drawings were really well done, the action was far too short to really enjoy. You might also want to work on the sound effects for the footsteps, sounds nothing like walking AT all.
Overall its ok, but not perfect.
Author's Response:
Most sound effects, including the footsteps were taken from internet though. I swear to God that was the best one out there : (
Thanks for the great review. ^^

"At first I thought this would suck."
But to my amazement it was actually decent, the frame rate and quality of the animation were surprisingly top notch, although its still a stick movie, its a good one at least. Nice job.

That was some superb animation, but the fact you did all this in just 6 weeks (excluding the extra weeks due to the cursed memory leaks you mentioned) is jaw dropping. Keep in mind though if your going to be over the 10MB limit by a bit, you can ask Tom or whoever manages the uploads for an expansion on your upload limit, I've seen it done by some other artists who have submissions that are 11-14MB.
However the voice for Shrike didn't really seem right, he didn't really seem as Spanish as he did in the other movies you had staring him. However his laughter did seem just as insane, (which I enjoy).

Although the game is challenging and fun, it can be quite unforgiving at times. such as on the last level, why won't my save eggs work on that level? I'm tired of having to waste a 1-2 minutes every time I die against the boss

"An amazing display of spirte animation."
You're work and skill with sprite animation has grown amazingly over the series, and not only that, you added 3D and drawn animation to the mix. You always seem to surprise me by making your fight scenes more and more bad ass each episode.
Although some the comedy you used is from cliche internet jokes. The way they just popped suddenly was unexpected. Which gave me a good laugh.
Normally I'd give an 9, but your 3D and Drawn work in this movie gets you a 10.
