[Cat Face ep.15]

My hair is longer than most womens! Baldy, PSH!

At any rate, this was probably the funniest of the series. Great puns, love the typical lolcats language, and you managed to veer from vulgarity (quite different from the typical potty humor Cat Face is usually accompanied by). Boxcat is gray? I guess we're all one step closer to finding out what that cat looks like...

[Microcosm]

Awesome!

I don't see why some bother to pull things apart. Don't! The reason he hits the outline is irrelevant! If you REALLY need an explanation, here it is: There are things the happen in this world that are unexplainable, at least through conventional means. Such things include the Bermuda triangle and even the creation of the world itself. Sometimes, things just happen. For criticism, The one and ONLY thing I might change is the fact that you cut out the voices. Even though I could read the text bubbles (perfect timing, by the way) I would like to have heard them as well. By no means necessary, though. Great concept and execution, perfect score.

[Hunger Issues]

Should've been more patient.

Not really my cup of tea. This is your first, so I won't go out on a rant.

[Ecopoiesis]

Well done!

Very intriguing! The animation was great, the story well-thought. As for Musoukota, I'd like to point out that those were MOUNTAINS, and most of the planets in our system HAVE ATMOSPHERE. Heck, Jupiter's practically nothing BUT atmosphere! For the most part, I am actually impressed at how scientifically sound this was. Most Sci-Fis tend to dabble with ludicrisy. The whole buildup was done nicely. I thought this was Mars up till the very last moment.

The semi-realism comes from my love of 2001: A Space Odyssey. And I'm glad it wasn't too obvious that it was Earth; I was afraid that the subtle clues I put in weren't subtle enough. Thanks!

[Use (software) Protection]

This reminds me...

What if this was a WALL-E and EVA?

[Pivot mixed to flash!!!]

...

This really should not have been put onto newgrounds. What you need is plot, length, and graphics. Pivot is not easy, even with its simplicity. I wouldn't use madness music either. It just seems out of place. I understand very thoroughly the use and purpose of a practice piece, and I would say that such things do not need to be presented, especially if you had already guessed the outcome. It only hurts your reputation. My suggestion is that if you really want to wow people, work on a piece of EPIC scale, even if that takes a very long time to do. Patience is key to ANY great piece of art. Don't be put off by all the negatives and try again!

[-Last Resort-]

Woh.

Trippy. Very much reminds me of Invader Zim, or Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. The best thing about this is the consistency. Not once did this thing make sense. The animation was also very well done, especially considering the fantastic characters and objects.

[Tiddlywank]

Meh

If your going to do a DBZ spoof, don't just do the charging up scene. Accurate, yes, but not really funny. The animation was very well done, though I did notice a few minor flaws, mostly negligible. Perhaps if you halved the length of time it took, it would still have the "OMG, This is LONG!" feel to it without the "This is stupid" response many are feeling. Timing is key. The repeated phrases need to be removed, since they fall out of context at that point. Last point, I liked the fact that you used the original DBZ music for this scene, as I do remember that particular episode.

[T E T R I S ' D 2]

Kind of a repeat

The giant robot thing, though different, was still a bit too much like the first. The overall animation was better, but it felt less like tetris. I still enjoyed, nonetheless.

[Doofie]

decent

Number 8 was the best, easily.
