Thanks for the review guys, SSJByando, mybe your right maybe mine had the story line mix up, but i did this the story line was alright, i added those birds that come in the dark, and that spider that comes from underground, but i awanted to add locust but time got ahead of me.

Thanks STICK-MAN, aycaramba, leo4life

thats frikkin ridiculous, they better have a good reason for putting file limit constraints. cuz you spent over a month and obviously put effort to this, you fulfill everything else required and then get told your over the file size limit. i really hope theres a good reason for putting file constraints on these submissions...

anyway, good job dude. its obvious a couple of corners had to be cut, but on the whole youve done a good job here. i think you should submit it to newgrounds :D


I know, the sides were cut out, when i first tested the finish version, i was like, OH CRAP!!! but i couldn't change it because i had already sent it to Zulu :s

But hey Zulu made a decision not to show my animtion, and i respect that :D AREN't I A GOOD SPORT!!

hehe, what i meant was its obvious some of it wasnt done as good as it couldve been because of time constraints...but fair enough on that too

Yeah =) pretty cool i think hehe. it did rush a little... well i think if you knew that you're not gona win and just di as much as you possibly can it would have been better than castle =P. the fight with the spider thingy was a little long though =( and main heroes died too fast. Well if i said something wrong, i apologize becaues i haven't played the games >.> maybe they do die fast there. Anyways GOOD JOB!!!

I didn't really like it.

=[

I thought it was choppy and the physics were bad and the special effects were bad and all the time saving effects ruined it.

Good job actually making a lengthy animation though, that's something that most people here will never do.

Sorry, but I hated it.
Animation was bad, and art needed improvement.
Sorry.

The effects were bad, and the gradients made it look worse. It was still a good animation, you just cut too many corners..

I didn't think it was bad, but there was pretty little animation in it, mostly short clips of people running, or freeze frames of some dramatic moment. Obviously you had to have some of these to meet the three minute mark, but you might have gone a bit overboard.
Still, I think the end product turned out ok

I liked it but it was hard to follow.
Nice animation overall. I gave 5 on NG.
Sucks for the file size limit :(
