Xiongmao`s Dream
Rated 2 / 5 stars December 31, 2005
Interminably cute, but lacking ...
This is an undeniably cute game; but the almost total lack of sound and I had no desire to continue playing after the first minute ... it makes for a dull experience.
The artwork is nice, though very simple, with all the fluffy bits everywhere. However ... meh, it's just s mediocre game, really. You might as well go all the way on the cuddly-loveliness of the game and add some bubbly sounds ripped from the Care Bears or something, as well as a nice animated intro to get the player more into the game, at least then it will feel more complete.
Hurl AOL cds at Cars!!

Hehe...
Nice...
Except for a bug with the Black Cars... if you hit one on the hood the car stops and twitches giving you anywhere from 4 to 11 points for one throw (I got variables between 4 and 11)...
Interesting theme... I've always been a fan of grabbing a couple dozen discs and leaving them in weird places... AOL sucks :P

Hey!
Not too bad, but it's not at all realistic to the Hitman universe... I mean... he died from one headshot!!! Have you never played either of the hitman games? He can take about 8 shots to the face before dying! JEEPERS!! AT LEAST GET IT RIGHT!!!
Hehe.. just messing with you, man, even though I am right. :P

Good concept ... but lacking.
As another reviewer said, the first part felt like a breakdown of the Dead 2 Rights 2 intro movie. The Max Payne elements, with the "V" (or similar such icon) were interesting and gave me fuzzy feelings of my first run through in Max Payne.
I have to say that your head was in the right place, as far as style goes, but the art just didn't stay up to par with the concept. More detailed drawings in general, and maybe more (or at least more detailed) FBF would have been beneficial to your animation. The best looking part (in my opinion, anyway) was the loop of Bob running, with the backgrounds moving around -- that style of animation would have been (and when you did use it, it was) much better. For example, the high knee near the end; that was pretty well executed. However, the vomiting next to the crib felt ... oddly humorous. I think the dramatic effect was lost with the color and sounds you chose.
All around it was a good effort, and with a little more of that effort placed in the art department I think you've got a good thing going.

Subliminal advertising never seemed so good.
I must say, that was quite a work of art. Pretty damn funny all around, solid animation. I really appreciated the subliminal single-frame flash cuts. Those frame-forward/backward buttons helped a lot ... the "rhetorical question" joke got a loud girlish giggle out of me. Made it worth the time to check each of those quick-cut frames.
All around a good lot and I'll be looking forward to the next installment. My only complaints would have to be with the recordings -- the voices are good, but the quality has too much background noise. Perhaps it's from lowered quality, but the starkness of it in the moments of speaking to total silence made it slightly discomforting. It sounded like a fan was running in the background during some of the speaky-bits of the Lego scene. That's my only complaint worthy of note.
Altogether a hardcore pile of fun.
My microphone is far too sensitive... Like your ears. ;)
Thanks for the thoughts! :D

That was...
The most homoerotic thing I've seen on Newgrounds, to date.
Was that intentional?
It was well made, but... good lord, it seemed to promote pedophilia or something.. that's bad.
