I dunno why, but I really liked this game! The programming was well done and the music fit the mood of the game. I also like the fact that there were several different ways to get through certain areas. I liked being able to climb the walls and the character was cool too (Even though he's so simple). I ended up making my own noises for him when I messed up :P. The programming was also well done. The controls were very smooth and I did not have any trouble with them. One tiny thing though. when those big black blocks crush you, jumping into the sides of them kills you too. I didn't think it should be like that, but it's your call.
Now for some of the flaws. There wasn't much of a plot, or anything for that matter. Here's controls, now go! I wish I knew why I was going wherever I was going. The game was actually a little too easy. I think the longest I was stuck at a room was about a minute (The gun ball shooty room). Maybe making three different paths each with their own difficulties would be something you could do? That would add some replayability to the game as well.
Anyways, that's it from me.

I can tell that you have potential, but there were a few problems with this movie.
1) It was kinda slow. I found myself getting a little bored at parts.
2) Some of the animation was a little weird. For example, when he gets in the car crash while eating, he starts flying out of the window before there's even an impact.
3) The jokes weren't too funny. Don't get me wrong, I did laugh at some parts (The Cell Phone was the most clever in my opinion) but some of the other jokes... I dunno. Maybe they just didn't appeal to someone my age?
Overall, keep it up! The more you make the more you improve, and I always like seeing someone get better and better.

I thought it was great! Love the animation style and the art! Some of the voices could have used some work though. For example, when the balloons fly away, I couldn't really hear what he said. Also when he coughed after being shocked it was pretty loud.
Great job, and I look forward to seeing more from you!

Oh yeah, when the balloons fly away, the soft voice is actually part of the lyrics to the song. That wasn't me, but its my fault that it was confusing.

It wasn't very good... The voices were bland and you breathed into the mic a lot. I couldn't even hear the old man. The music sounded very bad and was too loud at certain points. Also, I didn't see any humor in it. The memes were just annoyingly loud and I didn't think they were that funny (And I usually enjoy memes). The one tiny thing I thought was funny was how easy it was to win with a thunder-type pokemon.
Overall, I thought it was poorly made, but you have potential.
-Maybe if you moved away from sprites and brought your own originality into it, that could make it better.
-Work on your voices. The script felt bland and the voices sounded like you were reading them off of a sheet. Liven them up a little!
-Watch through your movie, and maybe have your friends watch it too. That way you can catch the different audio level problems. The music should not interfere with the dialogue.
Anyways, I hope this helped.

"I should've watched the other video before voting."
It was very unoriginal. First of all you 'remade' an existing flash video, but instead you added, not your own character, but Sonic and Spongebob. At first I thought it was decent, but then I watched the other video and realized where you got the humor from... I wouldn't even call this a parody, because the exact same things happened, just with different characters. You should have come up with your own idea. I see potential, but when it's used for something like this it's been wasted...
Some Advice:
-Clean up your frames. They seem all jagged and bumpy. If you're using Flash, try changing the smoothing on the brush, or using thicker strokes.
-Make sure ALL the audio is synced correctly. I felt that a few sounds overlapped and the last sound played a little early.
Keep working on your skills and I'm sure you'll get better.

Yes thank you for the good Criticism.
Like I said before though I made this back in 2007 and I just uploaded it for people's amusement... Even though you were disappointed, I still hope you enjoyed it nether the less! ^^

-Now expand on it. It seems like you've got the mechanics of this game down, but... There's no point.
Try adding a score system.
Have balloons in the background be worth more points than the ones in the front.
Try throwing in some power-ups (Machine gun, time freeze, larger scope; I just came up with those in a few seconds).
Who knows, maybe you could add levels with mountains or planes flying by to make things more challenging.
Right now it isn't much of a game, but you've got the basics down, all you need to do is expand on them and you'll have a much better game in no time.

I'll start with what I found good about this game. It was fun, at least until I got to the higher levels. The art was nice and simple and it fit well with the theme. The music fit well too and didn't get annoying, mostly because it blended in with what I was concentrating on. The weapon system made the game much more entertaining as well.
Now the main thing that bugged me about this game, The Controls. They could've been done much more efficiently. Every time I switched between turrets, the targeting I had set up would reset resulting in me taking a lot of damage while I attempted to readjust. It got to the point where I would stick to one turret and use the other as a distraction.
Also, I was playing one match and the turrets were auto-firing. I dunno if that was supposed to happen or not, but I think it'd be nice if you could have one turret auto-firing while you control the other one. A tutorial would be helpful too. Maybe a main menu button as well? I had to quit to get to the menu so I could review the controls again.
So yeah, overall it's a great game. Touch up the controls a bit and it'll be an excellent game!

\ thought it was funny anyway! So random I actually did laugh! Also since the score was so low, I voted 5. ;)

That was awesome! I love all of the facial expressions and body language. Toad's voice was done really well. I caught myself laughing at it a few times (Along with the facial expressions).
The one thing this needed though was some sort of conclusion. Like, Mario realizing the 'Wrongs of His Ways' or whatever. I feel like it just kinda ended. Anyways, great job!

I like the animating style, but it feels like something's missing. You should try adding some music, especially when he's going down the hill. That'd make it more exciting. The cart rolling forward could have been done a little better too, because I saw the wheels lift off the ground a few times (But that's just being nit picky :P).
