I've always thought of you as more a coder than an artist. Needless to say, when you create something like this (a beautiful and expansive game containing quite a interesting sense of humour) I naturally feel a little scared... You're a triple-threat!
The only qualm that I had with the controls was that using 'a' for jump didn't feel very intuitive. Maybe you could've used the space bar instead?
Your backgrounds were a joy to behold! The somewhat saturated colours really added mood to the proceedings along with the music, setting the scene perfectly for your comedic, anachronism-packed romp.
Story-wise, the way in which the absurd was dealt with in such a serious and stern manner was fantastic. The story, which was portrayed superbly through well-placed cut scenes, was certainly a laugh.
Very well done with this game, Paranoia, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Work a bit on your characters (they looked a little cut-out/static at some points) and soon you'll be not only a phenomenal coder, but a truly awesome artist.
'Grats!

Hehe, I thought someone would pick up on the cardboard cut-outs sooner :P When you're as slow with the mouse as me and you're limiting yourself to a morning per cut-scene, you don't really have much room in terms of animation. Maybe when I'm making something shorter :)

Especially the black and white bit at the end. Sick as. Thanks for the special thanks - I find myself positively inspired (again) by your work.
5/5 yo!

Nice timing with the whole thing. It was sorta entertaining in an odd way - probably 'cause I know you through the forums.
I'd recommend trying to brighten everything up. All the gray colours were pretty...pretty bland. Also, the black lines were quite oppressive (especially in the background - they made the characters blend in with them). If I were you, my next step would be to try and liven up the colours and experiment with different coloured lines.
Keep it up.
Author's Response:
Different coloured lines? I'll give it a go.
Also, I think I'll add more lightning/colour bleeding in 'em too.
Thanks, I enjoyed this review. ^^

I remember you posting about this years ago. I was thinking about it the other day - whether I should make one or not.
Anyways. Not a bad job. You're better now than when you started it, so all constructive crit. would be wasted!
3/5

Yeah, most of this stuff was done a LOOOOONG time ago.
I bet people will forget that.

Funny premise and a pretty good script. The lazy delivery was pretty cool too. The audio was of a bad quality though and you really need to work on your lip-sync.
Not bad but not great ^^

usually lip syncing my strong point just couldn't get the mouths right this time.

As much as I hate to see my childhood heroes desecrated, that was quite fun to watch. The simple graphics and simple voice (very 'matter-of-fact' narration) all combined very well to make an enjoyable viewing experience.
Good job.
Author's Response:
All I can provide is a simple thank you then. I dig your work, BTW.

While I think some of the visuals are overly-basic, the voice-acting had so much energy that I enjoyed myself.
Work on your graphics: Your lip-sync comprised of squares moving up and down;try to add some more definition to each character, making them all a bit more unique. Maybe I'm a graphics whore, but I think it would have added to the experience.
Enjoyable but still room for improvement. Keep it up buddeh :D

Graphics: Considering you're aiming for a younger market, the graphics were great: colourful; interesting; and stylised. You did a good job in appealing to the child in all of us!
Style: The style and the graphics really complimented each other well. The emotions were apparent with each character in each situation and displayed through interesting means.
Sound: Nice use of music and sound effects throughout.
Interactivity: Replay button please!
Humour: not particularly funny, but it's quite inane fun. You won't laugh watching this, but it is entertaining.
I enjoyed watching this. Cute graphics, a moral-based story and some great sound throughout. I hope that this got you the grade you deserve with your Btec.
4/5

Hey, British Moose from London - so am I!
We should collab in Flash somehow, and come up with something special, no?
Send me an NG instant message sometime!
Thanks for the comments, and I am thoroughly glad you enjoyed watching it, as that is often my sole purpose for these toons.
Nice reviewing style BTW. Maybe I'm just saying that because it was 95% positive.
Anyway, thanks for leaving a review!
