Congrats on getting third place, fellas!

Alright, so here's my thoughts. First of all, the writing is kinda sloppy. It's like, I could identify where a joke was, but I didn't really find them all that funny. In situations like that it's a good practice to identify what you find funny and use that style of humor in your writing. I personally like absurdist, meta-style humor, so I try to find ways to put that in my scripts. Try applying that practice in your scripts in the future. But to be fair, I could've just not found them funny because they didn't appeal to my sense of humor. It's totally possible that y'all got the whole squad laffin and I'm the weird one in this instance.

Secondly, it's very jarring to go from very smooth animation to janky, 2003-style flash animation, to decently cromulent, eddsworld-quality animation. It's kinda hard to watch because nothing seems to be done to hide it. It just goes from one skill level of animation to another. I don't really know how this can be improved other than building a more skilled creative team or taking the time to improve the skills of the one you already have. Animation takes time, yes, but you have to think about how your product is being presented and how it can be the highest quality it can be. I look back on my animated short films, ones I spent years to animate, and hate them because I can see where I could've done better.

On something a little more positive, the audio editing was done very well as well as the choice of music. I wouldn't be surprised if you just ripped that track from a ren and stimpy episode. It's very well done and probably my favorite part.
The art style is pretty nice as well, I got no gripes with it.

Take this criticism with a grain of salt. I don't really animate anymore and I've never gotten a daily third place or anything like that. Seriously though, keep working on this. I think y'all got something good going here.

Smith-Toons responds:

Thanks for the critique! I can agree on some points lol. But thanks for watching aswell!!

this is cool, but I think it'd be better if the title was NewgrounDS collab, so it matches with the title seen in the animation, er, game... whatever this is

DannyGoodShirt responds:

It's the Groundnew SD Collab erm... thanks for watching erm

I've been an on and off fan of this game ever since it came out. i'll be honest, this update looks great and has a lot of potential. especially when considering the enivitable PC port (releasing on steam, basically). but compared with everything else still left in the game-jam UI, compared with the new menus and icons, it feels really rough. it feels like you spent a lot of time working on one thing but rushed everything else just because you need it to still be there.
i think it would've been better if you and the team had just kept working on this update in secret until everything was ready and matched with everything else in the game UI-wise. idk bout all yall but i just think it's really jarring to have a fully realized menu akin to that of stepmania, but just before that a very under-developed and frankly lazy (in comparison) title screen and options menu.

i finally found it

yo this deserves more listens i cant believe this only has 133! it reminds me a lot of the soundtrack for adventure time: HIK on the DS, which i love since that game is very nostalgic for me and also just a great game period. also rip in peace Sebastian (sorry i wrote the review and then saw the description im so sorry)

beenibroh responds:

very interesting insight my friend..

better off alone inspiration?

beenibroh responds:

actually no! it was inspired by a song by this artist named "Tovatronica" from their song "Opening Screen".

some inspiration was also from Scatman's World. although I can hear Better Off Alone in this lmaoo
