[Planet Nutria]

Fantastic character design and solid animation. Music wasn't bad either. The one thing that was bugging me about it was the really heavy "Captain Planet" style vibe I was getting from it. It doesn't seem overly preachy beyond the character metaphors, but the pun attacks might be a bit much. I did like how you found a way to incorporate the nature of particular complex molecules into the attacks, though, like the shape of carotene being a long chain, and Vitamin D being activated by sunlight.

The other thing you may want to consider is the complex nature of some food. Dark Chocolate has been proven to have positive effects on heart health, as well as being healthier than mild chocolate (http://www.prevention.com/which-healthier-dark-chocolate-vs-milk-chocolate). On the other hand, you shouldn't forget that things like appleseeds have cyanide in them. Biggest thing that you really shouldn't forget is that sugar is a necessary part of energy production; yes, it is overused to the point where it can be a health hazard, but every carbohydrate is broken down into monosaccharides (best being glucose, monomer of glycogen and sucrose) for use in glycolysis, with the products being used in the Krebs cycle. You might be better using things like artificial sweeteners, which can screw with your metabolic processes even when they don't have any "toxic" side effects.

Hypergon702 responds:

Thanks for the intelligent critique. I'll tell you a secret, Chocolate's original form was Dark Chocolate... Other than that sugar attacks from the enemies are actually using high fructose corn syrup, and there is a bit of story behind that. If it's successful, I'll do the best I can to make this as less preachy as possible, it should be entertaining first and foremost. Also I think you would have to eat a ton of Apples to get cyanide poisoned.

[Too French!]

Not really much effort, from the looks of it. Your character models looked original, and not like crap though, so you got that much going for you.

Samegame responds:

Nope took me 20 minutes.

[Dance, Snake Man, Dance!]

Good song, bad flash

The song is definitely good enough to get a high score on it's own, and that is what the Audio Portal is for. The flash is just a loop of the same motions over and over, so don't expect it to do well. If you want to get some better feedback, submit the song to the audio portal, and it might even do well enough to make a top entry of the week.

I really like the song, it's just that the flash is too plain to keep around.

auriplane responds:

Thanks!! You can tell I'm new to Flash. But I hoped a simple aesthetic worked. I guess it didn't!! I submitted it to the Audio Portal just now, so hopefully it'll get approved.

[Ninja Fight!]

Could be a great start

This actually isn't that bad. You had better keep working on this, though, cause I want to see a completed version of this in the portal at some point. Even if you don't add color, you could get this to be really good if you just finished it and added at least music.

GreatPowerfulTrixie responds:

Thanks!

[The Clown Downstairs]

Holy $#1]...

Looks good, smooth animation and artwork.

Pretty damn creepy.

Too bad he couldn't retain the little protein he managed to get...

Nice work on the anatomical stuff, by the way.

JohnDavidHeptinstall responds:

Thanks!

[The Motherf*cker]

oh no...

He said when he posted it that it was an iffy bit to post. It is quickly becoming a trend... shall this be the new meme of the day?

Sh0T-D0wN responds:

wut

[dinosaurs]

Heh

It's funny that idiots sometimes last as long as they do. The only thing I want to point out, is that I don't think 3,000 years is a long enough period to go from dinos to helis... I think there are a few million in between those two things...

Sethdd responds:

math is not my strongest subject, and neither is history... actually i pretty much suck at every subject

["Snowfall"]

Looks fantastic.

Interesting contrast with the song, too. using a song that may typically have been for a peaceful snowy walk during snowfallmaggedon was a nice touch :)

DonkeysBazooka responds:

Ha. Snowfallmaggedon. I like that.
