humans can be beautiful

it's great how these guys came running to your aid in a dark chapter of your life. big ups to them for helping out a brother in need-- even bigger props if they never met you and donated out of the goodness of their hearts! wish i could've done so too but i had no prior knowledge and i'm a broke college student hahaha :(

great art and touching story! don't stop drawing! 10/10

p.s. listen to uehara hiromi's "place to be" on youtube. i find it extremely soothing and uplifting-- maybe you will too!

jacob

liked it a lot!

i always look forward to your animations! they're little bits of genius hahaha. the jazz music went really well with this comedy piece. kinda gave me the feeling of one of those old black and white chaplin films.

lighthearted, funny, and distracting entertainment! had to feel a bit sorry for hank though! xD 10/10

just wondering: did you make those "boingboing" sound effects yourself?

fun

spent a ton of time trying to fight through the really, really difficult yet addicting levels. this is a very challenging game and you'll need quick reactions and a smart selection of upgrades to beat the stages.

bad things about the game is that it has a really slow-going pace in the beginning. it becomes a bit repetitive and it's hard to earn cash for upgrades.
HINT: you can't earn a lot of money by replaying levels but you CAN get some if you beat the levels with a higher score.

i'd like to see a difficulty level setting and more upgrades. perhaps the enemies could give more money when they're killed also? just some suggestions.

refine it and bring it back as a full-blown flash.

you might have something unique here, but like the "author comments" says, this is an experimental work. before submitting it to a general audience, i'd like it if you worked on it a bit more and polished it up. i didn't understand what this was about, even though the description said it's supposed to be for interactive storytelling.

i see a potentially good game/flash here, but as of now, it's all a jumble to me. there's no storyline as far as i can see (i tried to piece together some kind of story from the pictures and it didn't really work), only somber, repetitive music, and random pictures drowned out in different colours.

a horrible horror game

gotta agree with flashfan2000. i got so frustrated with the game that i quit after "escaping from albatros" (a horrible play on "alcatraz" by the way). the controls are too stiff and buggy. if you switch rooms, some of you may find that you won't be able to move in certain directions for a few seconds. i killed some zombies with a grenade and 2 of them were left standing there, unable to move or do any damage.

the graphics were alright. in fact, the graphics and drawings were probably the only good part of this game. the sound effects weren't worth squat, the game was buggy, and why is my partner-in-arms so stupid? every time she died, i lost. ridiculous.

the weapons are horrible. i'd like to ask one question before i list the crap weapons that i played with in order- why can't you reload in the middle of a mag? would it have been that hard to make R as a reload button? =_=

knife- if you try to swing at the zombies with your knife, you'll find that your knife's range is about the same as the zombies' arm-reach, rendering this melee weapon useless. too bad it's the only thing you start off with.

pistol- the pistol sucks. once i realized how pathetic this weapon was, i decided to just ignore all the zombies and run past them instead of fighting (pointless to stay and fight because they just eat up your ammo and are endless in some rooms).

automatic rifle- i'd been running past walls full of shotguns and rifles and when i finally picked this up, i thought the game was going to get easier. not so. you run out of bullets too quickly because the zombies still drop more pistol ammo than rifle ammo and if you stay in one spot for too long, the zombies still rush you and you die.

grenade- the best weapon i had before i quit, hands down. just time it right and you can blow most zombies to smithereens with one of these.

now on to the plot- it was one of those way too over-used "evil scientist trying to take over the world but horribly phails and gets his ass handed to him and now you have to save the world" stories. the dialogue was cheesy, but the obvious plot devices such as the girl partner, prison (and prison name), and the conveniently available dynamite in the clutches of a dead prison guard all made me chuckle. so +1 point for humour i guess.

so.. the grand point total:
start with 10 points

ridiculous bugs: -1
stupid controls: -2
crap weapons: -2
stupid partner AI that made me lose 7 times: -2
overall player weakness and design: -2
shit sound: -2
good art: +2
stupid plot devices (they made me laugh and i'm a man of my word so i'll be generous here): +1

total: +2

LOL

how peculiar indeed.

NOOMNOOMNOOM?!?!
i have the strangest urges after listening to this song.
later guys. must go taste the fish and paint my penis now.

amazing work once again!

how do you come up with these wonderful, quirky ideas for your characters? i'd love to spend a day with your artistic imagination! lolol

i really like your colour choice (again)! i thought it was sick how you created a natural vignette that melded with the rest of the work. 5/5 my man.

yeee

to mother mary who we pray :D

interesting..

tears become thorny chains, which in turn become tubes and wires that tear the man open yet keep him alive, promised eternity (accentuated by an infinity sign on the bottom, kudos) is seen as hell and the gates of heaven are actually gates to a cemetery, topped by an upside down cross.. the paper is blotted on the upper parts by... tears? or maybe accidental water stains hahaha. i thought it added to the work, whether intentional or not. interesting symbolism sir.

you have amazing attention to detail. also, i think it's a gift that you can put your emotions into coherent drawings such as this one.

just one question i had.. why do you have "wtf?"s in your works? is it because you don't pay attention to what you're drawing until you stop and step back to look at it? or was it directed in regards to your emotions then?

great job, 10/10. keep the good work up and keep feeling it. sometimes you need those feelings to see through the all the bullshit in your eyes.
