I believe that respect must be given when respect is due. It is however quite difficult to earn my respect. I enjoy hanging around the audio portal, reviewing tracks and I submit my own work. Feel free to ask me for a review in my newspost. :-)

I've been waiting for the sequel. I really enjoyed the first one but it had it's ups and downs. This sequel right here has boosted every upside of part one and negated the downs.
The upgrade system is fabulous, the minigames for cash are a very nice addition and the readjusted shop prices and casting costs are all in good order.
I was kind of disappointed how quick I went through the game on epic mode, especially with the newly added save function, I even almost had the final boss down without a sweat, but then something amazingly funny happened. The tank literally KOed me from 9999 hp on both party members. I had no idea what was going on, but I didn't mind. It's great that you've kept the 'end boss. Defeat him, have my babies' concept that I enjoyed so much in part one.

All in all, this is a great and complete game. You may be proud of yourself.

Man, this is an excellent game. I thoroughly enjoy playing it. It has great graphics for a flash game, enough variety worth hours of gameplay and the music that sets a very good mood for the game overall.
I was going to give you a full 10, without a doubt until something happened that shouldn't have. I fell off the screen. Literally, in the area around the activation of what I think is called Swan Bridge (around the lever there) I fell off the screen and now I can't continue my game, which I find really saddening. I hope you'll look into this, cause it has detracted a LOT from the game for me. :(

I hope you can fix it. Otherwise, amazing game!

It was an ok movie. It was very nice to watch, because of the strong graphical side, but the text messages flew by. I couldn't read any of them in time. You should make the text messages either slow down, or clickable so you can go on when you've read it through.
Was a good movie, nice to watch. Keep it up. :)

Honestly, that was one of the very few entertaining submissions I've seen in a long time. The finely balanced use of colours, shapes, the storyline! Don't forget about the storyline! Man, at first, I didn't know what to think. I mean, those highs were quite a sight already but when that cow walked up there I just shed a tear. Astonashing. And as if it weren't enough you added some serious special effects. Not the cheap stuff either, but the real deal. And to top it off, the pile of shit. Perfectly drawn. A true piece of art. Magnificant work, keep it up!
Full score. 10/10 and a 5/5.~

"Best animating skills I've ever seen?"
Well, one thing's for sure - you're a perfectionist. Every single, minor detail of the environment is very well drawn and animated, and it sure was a sight to behold. You've gone beyond what I thought was reachable with flash, but I'm glad I was wrong.
Though the animation was sublime, it's a slightly long intro to the series. Explaining the story is nice and all, but there was barely any action in all three parts if you think about it, and that's a real shame because you have to think of the audience you're dealing with. We're Newgrounds. We've been waiting for this episode for over four years, and we kind of expected something to chew on.
Overall, I hope you won't take another four years to complete the second episode. The wait.. the suspense, it's killing me! And that's basically what you've achieved. You've made an intro to a serie you might not find interesting to animate in the coming time, and by doing so, you'd let us all down in a way.
I enjoyed watching this episode though, and I hope you'll continue the series the way you've started out - pure awesomeness covered in epic win.

It's a nice game. The graphics are outstanding, audio quality's superb but the overall gameplay is slightly.. boring? I don't know. I guess you could say I'm a hater, as in I don't like the genre, but I don't think it's that. It's just these games have little variation whatsoever, and there's little room for your creativity to let loose. Still though, I think you did a good job on this game.

Man, at first I didn't get it, and the music sounded pretty awkward but after watching it a second time I understood the meaning of the video and lol'd.
Great job, though the animation was a bit to hasty at some points (such as the pipes).

Enjoyed this episode a lot.
I think the most outstanding of this flash is it's graphical side. It looked beautiful, and smooth animation, except for the start. That looks like it's lagging pretty hard, but it doesn't matter to much. Loved the way you've drawn the characters' facial expressions.
The voice acting, the music, all perfectly well.
Though I'm not sure about the movie itself. It feels pretty standard. It's typically cartoonish, and the humor has been done before, though you've put it in another coat.
Even then though, this is an outstanding movie. Great job, and I hope you'll continue on with the series!

Thank you, I'm still trying to develop my own comedic style and direction for the show, this is some great advice for it! Also, for the lagging, I have yet to find a computer other than the one this movie was made on, that can run it with lagging on high quality.

Please wait a moment while I grab myself together..
There, back. This truly AMAZES me, because if I hadn't seen this, I could've sworn the Shades Gang was a spam group, but this goes way beyond the average non-spam portal entry!
Your graphical quality is outstanding. I loved the small sparks/fireflies and the mist/fog in the beginning. It was a very warming sight. I felt as if a story was about to begin, an epic story. That feeling was realized by the lyrics of the song, and the animation. I loved it!
The audio speaks for itself. Couldn't be better.
I love music videos. Of course, it's easier to make a music video than to make a movie entirely made up by you, but it gives a sort of pre-emptive structure as to where the artist should be focussing on and of course, the way you create the story described in the song is entirely up to you.
Overall, I think this is a very, very good movie. I'm anxious to watch the full version!

I'm anxious to watch the full version too haha! XD. The Shades Gang is not a spam group, or at least most of us aren't haha. We are a group of flash artists who are all on different levels. It's pretty fun working with everybody there :)

As Corky52 said, only I don't get his idea of any sort of a plot in this. >_>
It lacks ... everything.
I know it's supposed to be a spam submission for clock day, but at least put effort into it to some degree! It didn't have any audio, nor a background or storyline, it didn't have any main characters, or fluent animation.
I've seen spam submission with each of the before mentioned. I'm sure you can do the same! A spam joke is nice and all, but this goes beyond the usual, in a negative way.
Overall, I'm sure you could've improved this. Even as much as adding audio would've gained you a star or two, but alas. Hope your next submissions will have some content.
