I doubt the number of people who see this will be as many as if I posted it much longer ago, but I hope it helps future watchers make more sense of this video.

The reason this video is so good isn't because of its content. Its content is complete crap. It's the most random stuff you could ever find on the internet in 2001 and the middle fingers make it unsuitable even for little children. But it's the effect that this video had that makes it so revolutionary.

This video caused the rise of Animutation. That fact is known to many, but the few who aren't aware of it or stumbled across this by chance were blown away by its initial stupidity and couldn't grasp that it was, as many have said previously, the ORIGINAL internet meme. This conglomerate of randomness caused many others to create things like it, introducing the concept of Animutation to the world. Bravo.

A bit more background: As many also know, the soundtrack of this video is the song 'Hyakugojuuichi', meaning '151'. It's the first Pokemon credits song. It's quite catchy, too. Neil Cicierga, the creator of this thing, claims to have been inspired by several sources, most notably Japanese commercials and Hatten är din, a Swedish flash animation. THE MORE YOU KNOW

TL;DR: Basically, this wasn't much of a review, but more of an explanation to the slightly more ignorant ones out there who were watching this video and wondering what the hell is going on. Congratulations. Now you're slightly less ignorant.

"one time i did good art"

game had a super creative idea that was well executed and had great music, a cute main character, good voice acting, a sensible progression, levels that were the right kind of challenging, and an incredibly annoying death sequence

This is a fun game. :) The aesthetics aren't that good, but the story cracked me up and the nonsense names and the weird design of the robots are absurd and hilarious.

I wish there was a one-player version of this! Two players is SUCH A HARD CRITERION TO FULFILL OMG

Still, it's fun! Aside from the 2p part, it's not that original of a concept for a game, but at the end of the day, it was just a fun little arcade game made to experiment with a new software, right?

Good job! Looking forward to more games from you in the future, whether they be Construct, Stencyl, or anything else that might strike your fancy.

super cool track, gotta love that orchestral/synth combo to make this sound like a romp through a cybernetic forest or something. the harmonic progression through the song really sells the vibe, and there's tons of engaging complexity in your sfx use (tin cans are the best instrument). as a suggestion, there's a few parts here where i feel like percussion could be used to even greater effect—e.g. i can imagine different drums leading to a more epic building + drop at 1:04, and more dynamic snares at 0:30 making the marching feel less static. song def shows lots of promise in how uniquely you process all the different samples and create a really distinct feel. keep it up!

fun stuff, lots of great chipzel-esque sfx that are layered pretty well during the busier bits. tons of really fun melodic exploration throughout, some of my favorite sections were all the stuff going on at 2:39, and the buildup to + drop at 5:53. this almost feels like a stream-of-consciousness foray into dubstep-inspired chiptune, so one suggestion i might give would be to tighten up the structure somewhat—e.g. establish a refrain, cut the song down to your favorite sections, and make it a more cohesive standalone listening experience. great song and good luck!

oo that's a hella cool transition around 1:02, it almost eases you into the substantially different next section without you even realizing it at first. cool use of sfx motifs throughout the song, and the beat switchup at 2:05 on a variation of the melody is really fun. might be my speakers but it seems a lil bit overcompressed?

Dream diary? Cool idea!

But why are the craters only on the top of the moon?

Snow seems a little crude, but trees, background, and snowman are all eerily beautiful. I'm not much of an art guy. :P Good work!

Sweet logo! The only thing that I dislike about this is that the doorway has no bottom, but at least it's justified by the fact that the doorway is just a smaller version of the line separating the T and the L.

I guess you're starting something new, hm? Best of luck with your new persona!

To me, this looks good. Then again, I'm no artist. If I was, I'd probably say something like 'the chiaroscuro from the dichromatism evokes a sense of haunting ambience'. But I'm not, so I won't.

I really enjoy the shading you did on the mountains. Sure, it's not the best shading in the world, but I think that the shading is what makes the mountains seem surreal, not necessarily the shape. (Sorry, TheDoor!)

The trees look creepy and spooky, but they don't necessarily look like trees. I think trees should have a larger concentration of branches higher up on their bodies. Right now, they look way too skinny and scrawny. Also, that one tree on the far left? The one that has a branch that just sticks out? The OCD in me is bothered by this. Another thing: Why are the trees on the right smaller than the ones on the left?

I'm also kind of confused by the long, beige-ish strip in the middle. It sort of looks like the whiter ground is snow, while the beige-er ground is clear of snow, but that doesn't really make sense. Why would the snow choose not to fall in a single area? And if it's supposed to be a different color because of all the people who traveled on it, why aren't there footprints/tire imprints/elephant tracks/etc. on it? It's like the point in the middle is hell, and all the damned driven there via Zamboni. There's an interesting image, I guess.

The one-point perspective was pretty well done. The smaller trees on the right side make it feel kind of lopsided, but even if this was a mistake, it gives a sense of skewed-ness, which I like. It really plays upon the image of an insane, manic depressive, schizo, psychotic individual that everything you put on Newgrounds seems to help portray. :D

This was one of my most nitpicky reviews of all time. I really enjoy it, though. And it's a thousand times better than my artwork, trust me. Great job! Four stars for effort and putting up with my scrupulousness!
