[Blockhead: Episode 4]

Awesome

This series is awesome. This was the perfect episode, the way this series should be done. The intro was funny, and Blockhead celebrating halloween was hilarious. He finds out that the old guy is his conscience, and he's still confused. Can't really find anything wrong with this flash.

The-Swain responds:

I do a lot of redundant drawing in each episode instead of reusing objects and animations from previous episodes (or even scenes). It's a huge amount of work, but I think that maybe it pays off. In future projects I may recycle images and use a lot more tweening, but never with B-to-the-H. His series is gonna stay pure for as long as I'm doing it.

And I thank you for your observation; it's good to hear that, instead of doing something right, I might have actually gotten away with doing absolutely nothing wrong. That's tremendously hard!

(And I'm elated that you are enjoying the series!)

Compress your Audio

This had no reason to be almost 5 megs. A simple audio compression would've knocked it down to 1. As for the flash itself, it was an interesting concept. I would've liked an option to watch a couple of them combined, but it was still okay. I would've liked more options though, which wou would've been able to do after an audio compression.

kk ill work on it

[Blockhead: Episode 3]

Lacked a little stupid, but still great

Conscience didn't hang around as long as I would've liked. Still, great flash. The flash, liked the other 2, looked and sounded awesome. The first half with the drive-thru was awesome, yet I didn't care that much for the part at home. Still a great series though.

[Blockhead: Episode 2]

Awesome

This becoming my favorite new series. Awesome concept and sound. I'm not a fan of the brush technique being used on the houses, but it still looks awesome. Only Blockhead can get that excited over tongs. I mean, they're cool, but still.

The-Swain responds:

The "painted" look is to make often-used backgrounds look like the ones you'd see in 70s/80s cartoons. The bright colors for Blockhead are there for the same reason. I don't know why, but I decided that I won't use them in the pre-intro sections of the movie, though.

[Blockhead: Episode 1]

Blockhead's a moron, lol.

Seems like he just loves messing with people. Either way, the flash was awesome. The graphics, sound, whatever were great, and it was hilarious. Whoever the other guy was who was angry at him was funny to watch too. The sequels better be as good as this.

[What's On?]

Interesting

This was definitely a humorous flash, especially the Emerald Nuts one. Almost all of the commericals felt rushed through, and it made it feel far too short. The graphics and sound were nice, but it still felt like it was missing something. More commercials or longer ones would've made it better.

[The Hermit's Cat]

It was okay

I think reading your introduction to the flash took longer than watching the movie. a good flash shouldn't need that. It was pretty well done, I thought, even though there were no sound effects. It was kinda sad to see the cat die, and it was definitely better than it's 1.9/5 score. The shortness and the lack of sound (other than the music, which fit perfectly) are my only major problems.

[A Halloween animation...]

Odd and somewhat creepy.

This flash was weird, confusing, and that's what made it so awesome. Great brushed graphics, smooth animation, and a compelling storyline made this a great flash. It's hard to find flash like this on Newgrounds.

[D3stiny]

Very interesting concept.

Ignore everyone giving this 0's and 10's. It's not shit, yet it's nto awesome either. It's simpyl a very unique art concept thingy that took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do with it. One you start clickign on the balls, it's a rather fun game to watch unfold.

[Mac Attacks Windows]

How was this a daily feature?

This pretty much sucked, as it was just some random thing attacking one of the windows. Granted, the sound was great, and the shattering of the window was a little humorous. There was nothing to this flash though.
