[Blockhead: Episode 1]

Brilliant!

--Graphics--
I'm not quite sure what to think of the graphics. Parts of the graphics were wonderful. For example, I liked how you animated Blockhead. When he moved around, it showed a lot of animating skill. I liked some of the drawings as well. I liked the drawings of Blockhead's conscience, which also shows your skill. However, most other parts I found to be a little strange. The backgrounds almost looked like sprites since they were kind of blurry and pixilated. I also didn't like how you didn't really manipulate the backgrounds too much, like when Blockhead picked up the phone, it didn't leave the receiver.

--Style--
Well, you've created a very sucessful character with this first episode, so obviously you've got some style. The storyline was unique and opened up an oppurtunity for humor and you took every opportunity and made this a wonderful series. You deserve all the recognition you have recieved for this.

--Sound--
This is definitely my favorite aspect of this movie. I loved the voice overs. They were very clear and very defined. You portrayed Blockhead's conscience in a perfect voice that made him seem like an erie old man. I loved both his voice and Blockheads, which were completely different even though they are the same person in essence. The sound effects were also very clear and on cue.

--Violence--
Well, the only part that would put pain into someone was when Blockhead was smashing his head into the couch. Not sure why he was doing this, but it was enough for me to give this a seven for violence.

--Interactivity--
You've got a unique preloader, which is about all that is interactive in this movie, so I can only give you a five in this department.

--Humor--
Like I said above, you took every possible opportunity for humor, and turned it into more humor than is possible. The voice overs really help with this in that they really define Conscience's short temper and annoyance. The randomness in this, like Blockhead eating his hand and trying to dial the phone company just made me laugh a whole lot.

--Overall--
This is a brilliant start to a series that I will definitely watch. This Blockhead dude, though we don't know much about him other than he is incredibly stupid, seems to be a memorable character that I will grow to like more and more. Keep up the good work!

Ok.

^^Good Points^^
Your animation is very good. The sprites movie very accurately. I liked the boxes you used for the text. The text was easy to read and the boxes were a nice shade of blue. I liked the background music as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
The storyline is a little lame in this. Ash gets called gay then kills everyone. The violence was kind of lame and didn't look very well done.

^^Good Points^^
The ending was kind of funny. Thought the voice overs in that part were kind of funny. The voice overs were very clear and of good quality. Not a bad movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
The drawings aren't very good. You need to use more shading and what not to give more definition. The death animation was pretty lame too.

JunkFoodKing responds:

yeah, I'm not the best at that kind of stuff. However, I only abandoned shading in this one cause it takes place in the dark (the eyes aren't white, they are the first hue of gray), and I couldn't use lighter colors for lack of light source. (the lava lamp would have a red light with shading, but this looked too weird. However, thank you for your words. Not a lot of people thought the voice acting was good in this one.

[Squigo's Halloween Horror]

XD

^^Good Points^^
This movie is a little longer than I'm used to seeing for Squigo, but that turned out just to be better. I laughed quite a few times like when the pumpkin fell on his head, and the black guy's speech. The sound effects and voice overs were well done and very clear. The storyline was funny, and I would like to see a longer work from you guys.

[Squigo 7 Trailer]

Neat, but...

^^Good Points^^
I liked the beginning to this movie. The aerial view of this group of buildings looks very cool and very well done, and the way you shaped them to spell Squigo is cool as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm not sure what this trailer is supposed to accomplish. It really doesn't tell us what is going to happen in Squigo 7, and for movies as short as this series, they don't really need trailers. The fact that this trailer is longer than the average Squigo movie is a little weird too. I wouldn't call this a trailer, but maybe an extended intro to the entire series?

[Squigo 6]

I can only give this a seven.

^^Good Points^^
I'm still impressed by the fact that this is the sixth episode, and this storyline is completely different from the rest of them, and it was still creative and entertaining. I liked the animation when he was making stuff with the string, and the end was comical. I like how all your ending just seal the end.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is definitely one of the worst parts of this series so far. The death was just kind of lame, not quite as creative as your other ones.

[Squigo 5]

Another good episode

^^Good Points^^
Another episode of the unfortunate events in Squigo's life, and another episode that is entertaining, yet short and original. The sound effects moving from speaker to speaker shows that you put some thought into this and makes the movie more enjoyable. I thought that the ending was funny as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This one is not quite as exciting as the other, and is a little more predictable.

[Squigo 4]

Another good episode!

^^Good Points^^
Even after four episodes of random deaths and violence, you still manage to keep this series very fresh throughout each episode regardless. This one has a unique storyline and another ending that wasn't exactly expected to happen. The sound effects were very clear and very cartoony. The more violent deaths seem to be more fun to watch as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm not really seeing why some things are in complete color, while other are just black and white. You should try to stick to either one or the other.

[Squigo 3]

Superb!

^^Good Points^^
This is the third episode in this series, and each sucessive episode seems to be better than the last. I thought your animations were good before, but this movie just looks so much better in terms of animations. The storyline is good once again, and even better that the way Squigo died wasn't very predictable at all.

^^Needs Improving^^
I thought the beginning was a tad over done.

[Squigo 2]

An even better episode!

^^Good Points^^
This episode is even more impressive than the first, mainly because the storyline was more dynamic and not quite so predictable. The sound effects are very defined and fit every situation perfectly. The graphics, again, are very unique, and very well animated. This was funny as well, especially the very end. Nice improvement.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not quite as violent as the first...that's all I can think of :s
