Hahaha,

I've been waiting a long time for this, it makes me want to get off my lazy ass and finish mine. Love the classic cartoon style, and all the facial expressions throughout the animation. Nice traditional melodramatic storyline too. Awesome.

Nicely done

Sorry it took me so long to see this, don't get on newgrounds much these days, good humor, and as always, I dig the comic strip style. keep it up guys.

hahaha

Such a realistic arguement, hahaha. I love the "puppet style" animation you used and the humor was good. Great holiday flash. Looking forward to more. Long live Happy Fatties.

Holy $h11111

This game is absolutely incredible, simple in it's gameplay yet so fun and addictive, not to mention the awesome powerups and strategies you discover along the way, cute funny character design, classic newgrounds feel and simple control system, and hours and hours of fun, I thought the bloodshot slouchy dude warning was a funny joke until I realized you were serious about that, hahahah, All I can say is this is the fucking game of the year.

Awesome puzzles

perfect blend of ease and challenge, perfect music to match as well, the simplicity of the designs was great and gave it a clean professional look. Keep up the great work

Hmmm

On all technical aspects this is a very good game, but for some reason it just seems a bit too repetitive compared to some of the other defense games, that being said it's still a very well made game.

wow

Sounds like a mix between straight Chicago blues and some Hendrix style acid rock. This is only the second song of yours I've checked out but I can tell you have a pretty impressive range in your blues. Nice solo all in all I wish it was a full song, but this still deserves a 10

BloodFest responds:

Thanks a lot for listening to my stuff, I'm glad you liked it. You can listen to the full song, link for that one is up there.

Cheers

impressive

I only wish I could play blues like you, this is freaking awesome. his is a really good example of a delta style 12 bar. You should put out a CD. How long have you been playing for?

BloodFest responds:

Many thanks, I feel very flattered.
I've been playing for around 10 years, I'm a metalhead who has played metal since the beginning but I certainly have a great passion for the blues, I think that without the blues there won't be no music at all! haha

Cheers!

Sweeet

All I can say is that you have some amazing chops when it comes to drum tracks, this song especially though, The rhythm is steady enough to be used for just about anything, but the other aspects of the song fit perfectly, the intro's really nice too. This ones going in my favorites.

Gorgorothx responds:

Thanks, Syd. I'm really glad you enjoyed this. I mean structurally it's quite "different", and I think that's why alot of people can dig it ;) Cheers for your good review, and for stopping by!

Nice

I love the sketchy style of this one and the use of the bright white highlight at the top. I imagine that these would be what school notebook doodles would look like if they had video games during the rennaissance. Cool piece man keep it up.

Awesome work

Anyone who's hassling you about the rifle is fucking blind, or they don't realize that artistically this is probably better than some generic fanart with a "technically correct" rifle. This rifle really works for the style of this piece. One thing I notice in this and some of your other works is you have a very distinctive lighting to your art. You have a lot of range as an artist, so all of your pieces seem to have their own unique style about them but your excellent sense of dramtic and artistic lighting seems to be the hallmark of your work.

Cool

Very simple strong image, and good choice of color use which is subtle yet very poignant. I think it has a somewhat dreamlike quality, in that some parts are very sharply defines, while others are more gracefully blurred, which does a good job of creating a focal point of the front of the face.
