Use streaming sound. Look it up.
I can't tell you how often I see this. There should be a requirement. Before you are allowed to submit anything you should have to know about streaming sound.
Other than that there really wasn't anything here that was funny or interesting. Better luck next time.
Author's Response:
thanks for the kindness, but besides that what website do YOU use for streaming sound for YOUR flash videos?

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the work involved. It's just that I've seen it before and I've seen it done better.
blublu.org has a fantastic video on it utilizing the same technique to greater effect. Really exploring some of the boundaries of what can be done.
What can you add to this? What can you do with this that no one has yet?
Author's Response:
True I know it has been done before, but at this point almost everything has been done at least once, the only thing you can do is basically try to put your own spin on it, and do it in a stylized manner. So to your two questions, technically I can't add anything to it because it's finished, and it's what I had in my head and I'm proud of it, the only thing I could've done is improve on it, but I can't go back and improve on it since it's done now and the wall of that shack is already filled up with it. As for the second question I tried to answer that in the first of this response.

The sound was out of sync. Use streaming to get proper synchronization.

It always had been in issue for a while now. Thanks for the tip.

At the end the Ork Gargant has both its gun arms again. When they are all running away, after the Tau has blown one of the guns off. It reappears.
Look to it! NOw! I will slay you with my XV88 Broadside battlesuit!

Brevity is the soul of wit. I think this is a great little nugget of funny.
What is up with Batman rolling off the table? it's like he turns himself inside out for a second.
It's a neat touch, but I think it happens so fast no one catches it.

Even after you fixed it... it was still awful. What was the point of this? A bad animation loop backgrounded by a bad song. Cheesy lulz all around. You put more effort into submitting it than you did in making it.

funny thing, even the un-fixed version made it through... maybe it is not as bad as you think it is.

Horrible pun I know.
You can see by my rating that I really liked it. I try to critique in a way that will help the author think bigger for next time. This was great for what it was, but if you want to improve here are some thoughts for next time.
The story did seem a little unmotivated. Which makes me wonder if you animated as you were thinking up the story. Motivational questions don't need to be answered in a movie without a literal feel. But then I would have liked a bit more in the way of a nonlinear story. I see a little motivation in the way of the 'boy' winning the 'girl' with the flowers. If you want to go more literal; what's their relationship and why didn't she just come out herself. The conflict didn't seem that dire, which made the emotions less strained. Which in turn made the tragic ending seem forced. If you want to go more non-linear. I need some more symbolic struggling. More abstract than flowers. And something strange about the mechanism of the TV prison. Which while not cliche, has been done.
The Music was great. Very Danny Elfman. Post Oingo Boingo. Maybe it's just those bell sounds he uses all the time.

I blammed, and it will probably be blammed. If we can't see the movie it doesn't matter how good it is. I tried reloading and it still lagged. I don't know what to tell you. There is a problem and you need to fix it before you resubmit. Maybe look to all those blur effects.

The graphics were great but they slowed the game down. The gameplay itself was a bit boring and repedative. You can't really lose. Even if you could I don't know that it would improve the gameplay. There is no tension. With defense games the tension comes from the enemy getting past you. The opposite (not getting a guy past) doesn't grab my attention at all. It's all about redundancy. The multiple paths for instance. Why would anyone use more than one? Half the time they would block off the other paths.
A key would be nice. I get what the dollar sign (money) and the cross (health) do, but what does that damn smiley face do?
Oh yes I too got the last level bug. And I notice it didn't save my top score in the last 3(?) levels.
