"Just like the spam says, longer IS better"
Loved the concept, was sorry to see it end so quickly.
Animate the level transition screens--each time I passed a level, I thought the game had frozen.
Have you thought about making the scarf controllable? It was really hard to get enemies who were below you (enemy is period, you are asterisk)

Author's Response:
Both very good points. I actually wanted the whole thing to just be one un-interrupted level, but I ran out of time and couldn't figure out how scroll over all the bitmap data, then delete off-screen data and place new data.
If I come back to this to improve it, that's the first thing I'd investigate.
I originally wanted to have the player only have to manually control the scarf at first, then after say, defeating the first boss, one would be able to to press a button to guide it in a certain direction.
Thanks a bunch for the comment! :D

I clicked the movie at the beginning and everything turned black, only visible when it moved.

I love the concept!
But there should be a way to skip the narrating and get right to the choices. I die a lot, and it's annoying to have to listen to EVERYthing over and over again.
Good replay value.
Maybe there should also be a bookmark function, so that you can choose to reload your last choice if it leads to your death. Because, we ALL kept our finger in the previous page of a choose-your-own-adventure book, and we'd still like to do it online :o)
Author's Response:
*chuckle*, yeah, I know we all do that; I was just afraid that the game was too short to have checkpoints though. Definitely going to have to be a feature in DC2. Thanks for the review.

I like the concept, but it needs some tweaking.
For instance, you should be able to walk backwards and fire, instead of wasting precious time turning around all over the place.
Good, but take it down, fix some stuff, and resubmit :o)
Author's Response:
HOLD DOWN SPACE and you can walk backwards. =)

Good concept, but needs a lot of work.
For instance, "Instructions" is spelled with a C, not a V.
Also, how the heck do you beat the second level?
There should be a "previous shot" record that shows the path of your last shot, the power used, etc. The power metre should somehow be easier to adjust, as well.
Resubmit when more work's been done!

I don't understand the parallel between the leaves and the feathers...the supernatural is better than nature, perhaps? And those bells....
I think that the real picture of the cloudy sky is distracting, because everything else is animated. Maybe change that
Author's Response:
Sorry about the cloud pic. I'd tried drawing the sky but the result was not satisfied. So i used the pic instead, lazy me lazy me... :)

Too bad I didn't see this "under judgement" because I could've gotten my first save! The one criticism I would have is the "Better" word at the end. For some reason, that textured text with a little bling just totally failed for me. I don't think it fits with the rest of the texts, or the message of the song.
Loved the almost subconscious effect of blinking, sliding text, though. And I would agree with that other guy that slowly adding colour would be good--but not too much!
Author's Response:
Yer i have to blame my tutours for that one, they told me to put the bling into it lol
wat u meen by 1st save???? im kinda new to newgrounds lol i am le NOOB

This could be turned into a funny or scary short, but it has no sound and the framerate is terrible. (Might also consider adding colour)
Try resubmitting when it's complete. Until then, I don't think it's newgrounds material.
Author's Response:
Yeah the frame rate is terrible, but it is a storyboard. I agree that this doesn't belong on the Portal.
Will submit the finished project once finished.
Thanks for the review.
