I like the style of the sprites, very original.
the playability is very very well done. i was about to say it's to easy but as soon as the spikes were introduced it became a perfect challenge, very original and high concept.
one thing, i can jump over the pipes, you may wanna fix it so it creates more of a challenge.
other than that, very nice. well done. an instant keeper.

But i don't think it completely followed through to completion...
I have to agree with everyone else in saying that your enemies are entirely too strong, making to game a little bit of a pain to go through.
But the first thing i noticed was that it is a very very very slow game, you really need to work on learning how to compress your flash animations so that it doesn't put so much stress on the users computer...and i am running a pretty beefy computer.
the comic panels show you know how to draw, something that didn't translate through to the actual game. please take more time in make the game nice and presentable.
so to recap, work on making enemies easier to kill. work on compressing aniamtin so my computer isn't blowing up, and work cleanliness in your drawings for the game.
other than that you got a good concept, mabye add some more moves for the next one.
good luck

the enemies are easy just practice a bit and once you kill large enemies (excluding bosses) you regain health

Your story is compelling and your background are very very nice. the movement through each background is very well done, the one scene where the girl is writing on the chalkboard is very nicely composed.
You do need to work on character drawings, where you have so many strengths in story and background, you lack almost as much in character design. this is what prevents you from getting a full 9 or 10 from me.
keep it up, i am sure you will be a true force in the flash community after a lot of practice

the idea was very interesting and it made me chuckle a few times, but i think that if you are going to make a flash sprite animation you might as well make the sprites move. This one shows you can do it, so do put more effort into the actual animation portion of this submisssion.
the soundtrack was really good, and i like how you added characters from other video games, made for a very interesting read. but that's what it was, a book with pictures.
You have very good vision and i like the rendomness of you humor, but you gotta bring it all together with your animation, so people have something to look at.

Flash games are sometimes understandably hard to program this much i know.
In testing your game there were a few things that i think need to be worked on before it becomes as succesful as "Defend you castle" did.
1. you don't gain nearly enough money per kill to get any kind of worth while upgrades to make this game fun. there needs to be more spendables, or lower the price of your items.
2. your spells are not player friendly. It would be nice to have the mana expensive axe, twirl around the whole screen and kill some folks before it dissapears. make you spells more useful.
3. clicking on units over and over again is not fun, and quite annoying. at least with defend your castle all i had to do was fling the small ones in the air.
This game has some problems that need to be addresses before it can become a game worth while to waste time on.

some people are not so adepth at utilizing rotoscoping and sometimes it is even over used. i thought that this movie was a pretty decent example of well used rotoscoping. while it isn't my favorite style of animation i think you pulled it off quite well. there were some issues in animation, perspective, and anatomy, but i think it works well in the style that your going for...
well done, much better than the other stuff that is normally posted on this site

you have the actual animation so far away from the narrative that your veiwers are supposed to read...
might i suggest you bring both elements a little closer to each other so people don't have such a hard time paying attention to both...
other than that i thought the art was good and the soundtrack went with the theme, you just might wanna consider using voice actor instead of text, but it is a web comic so...

you know for a massive all encompassing animation crew, who seeks to rule the portal, you guys sure do suck ass!
In other news, the animation could have been better, and you should probably spend more time practicing your drawing before you actually make a flash movie, so at least it doesn't look like a bunch of blobs with eyes, wielding a maul...

Thanks for the input, but that wasn't very nice :( I never did anything wrong to you.
