What a simple and neat little thing. I laughed, and nothing better than needless static garbling things. I do wish you had actually done a little animation, though.
Author's Response:
Yeah I wish I had the foresight to see they'd be a little more relaxed with the deadline for halloween flashes. I might update it with more fbf, because drawing Ronny was a blast and I'd love to emhpasize his body language with some more frames n' that.
thanks!!!

"Ansel, you are made out out magic beans."
When I traded my cow for you, I thought I was getting some dumb kid with a weird ass name. That kid though, OH THAT DUMB KID, how he grew into a beanstalk to golden eggs.

Ok, first off, I hate Flecko. I hate that character design, I think you poorly voice acted him, and I even felt like he was less well animated than the gravedigger.
That aside, I loved this. That slow beginning was the funniest thing I've seen in a halloween Flash yet. I hope half the people who started this just closed during that. Friggin' hilarious, man. Then you get the gravedigger who said "swishy swishy with the dead fishy" which made me happy. I think that volume joke was lame and fell flat, however.
The great joy for me was the animation of the Gravedigger/Igor thing, and the way you staged the shots in the graveyard.
Author's Response:
First off...ouch... But I can't really do anything about it now. I agree with the voice acting...
I'll just have to work on Flecko...
I think PresidentZen would be most happy by this review. He wrote the lines for Igor. Great stuff.
Thanks for reviewing.

I was wondering I might see something new from you. This was so simple and fresh. Completely without pretense. I think your drawings could have done with a little more line sensitivity to give them a more dynamic volume, but they all moved quite well.
Can't wait for another!
Author's Response:
Thanks man, i havent looked at your new stuff yet =). Yeah its a bit different form me. I was doing a kind of angled design on the characters, plus the line quality wasnt that great because it was scanned from paper and then bitmap traced in flash, i dint want to have to redraw it all again just to get smoother lines for such a small thing =). Yea i think my animation skills are slowly improving.

This was, for the most part, a work that was interesting both visually and through the script. It's nice to see such a fully round work with attention spent to a number of varied details. We don't get many like this on here.
The animation ranged from mediocre, to good, to nearly great at points depending on how heavily your through your weight on the crutch of tweens versus how much frame-by-frame you did. Your best animation was clearly in the middle ground, as is evidenced by the scene with Fat walks towards the portal and the lines wobbled without conveying any true sense of movement, and some of the Kaiser's tweened arm movements that were stiff. The bit with the robot and its laser eyes was mesmerizing. Simply magical. Well timed, well spaced, and very well rendered.
Still the visual dwarfed the animation. The colour choices were impeccable and your subtle gradients gave alot of value to simple things that otherwould would have been flat as a result of the lines. My only gripe is with some of the design work, specifically the technology in the lab. I've seen that same basic teleporter and specimen tube 100 times over in nearly every sci-fi story. It'd be nice to see a fresh design.
Better yet than everything else was the script and the very solid voice acting delivering it. While I think that influenza virus thing was plain stupid and makes no sense the way it was written, everything else so far is a highly immersive mythopoiea that is clearly well though out and rounded to a full development. I'm sitting here saying, "WOW. What happens next? Who are these people, and how are the so real with so little information given me?"
Very nice work, sir, very nice.
Author's Response:
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the detailed review.
You have a keen eye and appreciation for animation that very, VERY few reviewers on this site have. I giggled as I read which bits you thought I had cheaped out on vs. what stood out as the best, because it was pretty much spot on with how much time I had spent on those scenes. I was doing a lot of university work when I made this so some parts were genuinely rushed (i.e. tweened), and as for the robot part... well, would it surprise you to know that one scene took me eight hours?
As far as the mythology of the Vector is concerned, the Vector wasn't actually my idea. We had to include our characters interacting with the Vector, and in everyone else's entry it was just a case of "what's that thing? Let's go chase it!", and being sucked into the Vector's portal. I did my best with what I was given to do something different, but what can you do. XD

So many! Which makes this even better, I think.
Anyway, I laughed, I cried, I pooped my pants. I didn't think the message was subtle, but it went WAY over so many heads, so I guess it was.
I don't really like these GF games things; I prefer the old Shamoozal that were, well, mostly not about games and had lots more animation. Still, a solid effort.
Author's Response:
Interesting to see you enjoyed the old stuff! Who knows, maybe in time we'll revisit some of the original ideas.

"A masterwork of the mildly f."
It is withing f, and as a root of f, that we find what, precisely, contributes to the being of f, and it is there that f stands at it's most f possible.

That is to say, of all the "Awesome" things recently coming our way from you, this was probably the best one.
I didn't laugh, but I did smirk, and it was smooth and expressive, though it still looked pretty lazy.
Anyway you're improving and that's great, so keep at it.
