That punchline was great!
Toph moving her eyes is really weird. And I don't know if this is in the cards for you, but you might want to get a different gwen model. Not to rip into skuddbutt, but her lip-less mouth is unsettling.

Assuming you'd like to read an unbiased opinion, I personally think a video directly referencing your status on Youtube doesn't belong here. Now, little things like "Click that subscribe button," can simply be adjusted to refer to the follow button for videos containing subject matter that makes no difference on what site it's posted on. I have a small but genuine appreciation for that kind of extra work and consideration. Hope you take just a smidgen of influence from this. And don't let the small rating get to you. I can acknowledge the work you put in, I just don't think this video should be present on Newgrounds.

Currently, the music is absent. Not sure what happened there, but hopefully you can fix it. Overall, I have very little complaints.

OiPriPri responds:

It seems to happen on chrome, if you reload it with the expand feature it will play. It works fine on firefox.

So far, my only issues are the with the frame rate and sound design. It could be faster and it needs more variety in the sound department. Some fitting looped music could be nice.

What would also make for a nice treat is having the options to adjust these ourselves. I personally think that the allowance to select our desired framerate, categorized as Fast, Normal, and Slow (Slow, in this case, is the current default) would be a fancied addition. As for music, simply the option to turn it off or perhaps to change the station if you find enough loops with the authors' permission to use. Finally, the sounds that are being used sound very stock to me. I would recommend either digging for much higher quality WAVs or using a high-quality microphone (NOT USB) To record your own. I'd like to think of this as an incomplete beta or alpha test. I hope you take my words into consideration. Good luck with any future projects.

This game has a lot of potential to be a very enjoyable and quite addicting experience. However there are a few issues with it that I highly recommend you update.

1: A complete restart is not necessary. That will only frustrate the player.

2: A restart should be instant, not delayed. That will toy with the players patience. This includes the requirement of pausing before doing so.

3: The timer only distracts and rather irritates the player.

Over all it's a good concept. It is fun, but an update to improve those three issues is very necessary.

My only gripe with this is that I personally think it starts off a little too strong. After the ticking of drum sticks, an almost incomprehensive explosion of loud instruments gives off a very noisy impression. It actually made me worry that the song wasn't going to be to my liking. Thankfully, that is not the case. This one is especially catching when the chorus and has the exact happy vibe that I bet you were aiming for. Definitely going to be to listening to this one a lot. Keep up the great work.

FinnMK responds:

Fair point. I wanted to have an explosive start but it may have been a bit too much. Glad you liked it anyways!

Okay, I keep coming back here to read someone's review, but no one has posted one. I've avoided doing it myself primarily because I'm not a musician. I know nothing about music but you need to know;

This piece is incredible. whether you consider it one song or three, there's no doubting that is absolutely a master piece. I thought Road To Happiness was great, I thought Mad, Mad, Mad was great, but this... This song blows those two out o the water. While both of those two had their own personal emotion attached to them, this one is a frickin' roller coaster. You've proven multiple times now that when you want to convey a particular emotion, you do it. You succeed every single time. This isn't relevant, but I actually put Mad, Mad, Mad, Road to Happiness, and this on my phone so I can listen to them when ever I want. I don't normally feel bad about doing that, since the newgrounds rules say you can download a song and do whatever you want with it as long as you give credit to artist, but you deserve a profit off these, though I've come to the conclusion that you're probably the kind of guy who makes music for the sake of his own love of music. They are absolutely magnificent. Like I said, I'm not a musician, so all I can really do is say "This is awesome" or synonyms of that multiple times.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

FinnMK responds:

Thank you so much. It really means the world to me that you're enjoying my music and that it has such an impact. I'm really excited you describe it as a roller coaster of emotions - that's exactly what it's intended to be!

I'm certainly a guy who makes music for passion - and to satisfy my ever-present inner demons that demand creation - but I'm always happy to have the music purchased. If you ever feel so inclined just head over to my Bandcamp and pay as much as you feel is fair, although I'll always keep all my music free to download on NG.

Thanks again!

This is both hilarious, and (obviously) catchy! Personally, I think you should do more songs like this. Not necessarily songs that are super whimsical, but definitely focus more on the lyrics than the music. Honestly, you're other songs are just kinda noisy to me, but then again I'm not a dubstep fan. I think you have a knack for creating simple comedic songs. I realize there isn't much detail here, primarily because I'm not a musician, so I know little to nothing regarding this topic. Point is, this song rocks hard, the others not so much. I think you should experiment a little more with songs like these.

wywfalcon responds:

I really appreciate you for giving it so much thought! The songs I made span a few different styles. If you liked this one, try "Gotchu" and "Love Your Crap". When I get the chance to, I'll make more songs for sure!

peeny-weenie.

A fellow TYS fan?! Hell yeah! Also, nice art.

Shamfoo responds:

Absolutely! I work with them often

Me again! So, uh... I liked it better than part one! This was far more focused, whereas part one felt all over the place and it really didn't need to be. I still have issues, though.

For one thing, while I get the joke that MC is just gonna be oblivious the entire time, I still don't get an absurdist vibe from the art. Buuuut, we already talked about that. I won't rehash my previous complaints. For now.

My only other issue was the ending. Don't get me wrong, ending on establishing the end goal is a great conclusion! But the paneling felt weird. You see, I think you have a strong understanding of when to use more analog panels (you know, square) for mundane scenes vs more ridged and slanted panels for scenes with action and tension. That's all well and good. But the last page is where it feels off. Not because of the slants; I think it works for a scene to tell the audience where we're headed. My issue is with the order in which the panels are placed. I feel like we should end on the larger panel. The composition on the last one is nice and all, but the size of it left me thinking there was gonna be another page. In fact, I was confused when there wasn't one. Two smalls then one big; that's how I think it should've been set.

Anyhoo, still not in love with this story, but this part had me feeling less cynical. And, even if its not my cup of tea, I think its cute.

How I do the goof.
Step 1. Thing hit other thing.
Step 2. Screen shake.
Step 3. Funny sound.
