[Par or Die]

Crazy golf action

An original concept that works very well - super graphics is the key to it, it all looks very nice as we see a golf balls' travels. Watch the credits through to the end, there's more good stuff there. A very good movie.

[moo cow]

Not bad for a short

A couple of funny moments in this. For a short it's not bad at all. Drawing was simple, and the sounds were adequate. Some violence would have been good but would probably have spoiled the film.

[Peanut]

Makes a point, for sure

All this movie is doing is making a point, and it does so in a fine manner. Short but cool at the same time.

[All Your BLAM!]

Cool AYB parody

Mix All Your Base with the general crap that gets submitted to the portal and you get this. It's a little on the short side, but it's very funny and well made. Great idea, good in every respect.

[Blot vs The Blob]

Funny stuff

It's a good, crazy and abstract animation. Very smooth and a clever idea. Soundtrack you used was great, and the effects were fine. Enjoyable to watch.

[Ghost Motel 3]

Best in the series so far

Although this episode featured less interactivity than the previous two, it's probably the best of the bunch so far. The movie continues with the plot of the first two Ghost Motel flashes, and has a fair deal of interesting and funny moments. A little bit of violence, and it's possible for GM4 to go in many different directions. The voices still weren't great and were quiet in places, but overall it's a good job.

Violet-AIM responds:

I wanted this one to focus more on the story part, thus having less interactivity. Thanks again.

[Ghost Motel 2]

First one was a bit better

Personally, I think the first one was a bit better. This episode carries on in the same vein as the first, and has a bit of plot progression and the same interactivity which made the first Ghost Motel cool, but it just didn't seem as interesting. Still above average and worth looking at, but you need to watch the first one before seeing this.

Violet-AIM responds:

You're right, it's better to watch the things in order, just the way you're doing right now, since it's a continuing story. :)

[X A Stick And A Clock]

Well, it was better than stick man

Kind of makes a point, then chucks in some violence for good measure. The sound was good, although I suspect that took up a large chunk of the filesize. Nothing great, but it's better than that stick man thing you did ages ago and it's better than anything I could do.

[Drunk Killer]

Simple stick violence

I'm guessing you may have watched Face/Off shortly before you made this. Simple stick violence, short and to the point. Nothing special, but had enough to it not to be rated terribly. Could have used more sounds ideally.

[head is eaten by box man]

Not terrible

It's very short, but what there is of it is fine. A simple idea, if somewhat unoriginal. As Kid_Davis said, you've clearly got some talent, just try and make a movie which has more length and a decent story. Ten second movies are never going to score that highly.
