It looks intriguing, but it doesn't work. I keep doing the symbols over and over and it only works about 5% of the time. Did you test this at all?

Too hard by far.

I think you've hit upon (or at least nudged up against) something intriguing. The bit where you have to upgrade your shop before you can buy stuff...it's an interesting interaction between the "metagame" and the "game". What if you had to level up your shop in order to buy more powerful items? Hmmm...

Pretty good animation, very expressive. And it's always good to hear the Toccata and Fugue again. Still, you don't really have to explain the entire plot in the submission notes, do you? You want people to be curious about the movie so they'll watch it to see what happens. ;)
Author's Response:
Thanks for saying! I sort of felt a compulsion to tell most of the story in the submission because I've had trouble with misinterpretation in the past. Perhaps I've become a little too paranoid of people forming their own ideas on the plot of my films. I'll leave it out the next one!
Thanks!

It's okay, I liked the animation and stuff...However, I can't figure out why it's "interactive". The "interactivity" is just clicking once it stops...as far as I can tell there aren't any choices. It would have been better as just a movie.
Author's Response:
For our class project the "Interactive" concept just meant "have buttons". But yeah i should of just gone with simple skip buttons at the bottom and probs added a narration over the top to make it have a purpose (as in when the narrator finishes talking click next sorta thing)

Cool, this reminds me of a project I did in high school. However, I don't think it's quite right for Newgrounds. Not only that, it's not really interactive and it's hard to tell what's going on...

Now, That screen idea, is seeming really good xD Guess I should have added a bit more help, huh?

Honestly, the animation was pretty bad, but I had to laugh. It was just random enough to be amusing. Get some more polish and you'll go far. ;)

I like the animation, it's pretty smooth and the characters really look alive. Not much in the way fo story or voices, but hey, I'm looking forward to your future work. ;)

Okay, so the black characters represents PS3 fans, while the white ones play the Wii...
Just joking. (Probably.) I liked this game, thought it was interesting. First, a couple of basic problems: "Meet the waves in the middle" is kind of an obscure instruction. It took me a few tries to figure out exactly what it meant. Second, the first time I played I just went back and forth a couple of times and then stopped...I figured it would continue endlessly. However, there IS a definite end to the game. I looked at some of the other comments and figured out there was more, so I went back and tried it again. Still, it's kind of a long way to go and you don't really feel as though you're making progress.
The way I see it, the game models a certain system...and then it shows you that working within the system cannot solve the system's problems. You have to find some other solution, something outside in order to really get things done. Becoming "gray" is the first step...but you can't do it all here, you have to go out and find the rest of the solution yourself.
