I think shorts really are your best works. Any chance we'll see another "30 shorts in 30 days" type thing?

The timing on this was well done, and the sound effects were well-placed. Whatever Santa was mumbling at the beginning looked out of place without his mouth moving, though. The ending, with a flaming Santa riding away on his sleigh, doesn't really make much sense (Why didn't he put it out before flying off? Would you drive to the hospital if you were on fire?). But, being a short, it's a small qualm, and most people wouldn't dwell on it long enough for it to matter.

Overall, another good piece. Keep it up!

NO HABLOS ESPANOL

I think it would benefit from being a bit more cryptic. It's made very obvious that this is a white/black statement.

As for the animation, it is very well done, but it clashes with the background somewhat. It might look good with a filter overlay type thing.

Overall, very well done.

This is great.

After following the thread in the Flash forum, I knew this would amount to something great.

Overall, there is little advice I can offer you. You are clearly a great coder and deserve more than just a Daily 3rd for this.

Needs work.

The game was a whole lot of nothing. You basically had to hold down one key for most of the game, except for the odd jump here and there. You need to implement more action.

Also, you should work on the camera angle. The character took up most of the screen, making it difficult to see around it. The animation could use some improvement as well; the walking cycle needs improvement.

You might also try using perspective in the background. It was mostly like a 2-d painting all the way through it. The character often floated above the ground, as well. Overall, this wasn't too bad; the story was alright, and you put at least SOME effort into this.

Also note that this review is NOT abusive. The link is both relevant to the review and inside Newgrounds.

Decent.

The gameplay itself was rather generic; it's really just a typical avoid/sidescroller game. However, the graphics were excellent, the story was touching, and it was surprisingly fun.

Overall, you should definitely work on your story. I understand this didn't take you that long, but you should still put a little bit more time if some part of it seems incomplete.

The piano line was kind of annoying, since it stands out so much and doesn't really have a lot of variation.

Just about spot-on.

But... It lacks the spirit of the original. This is clearly done by synth. It would really compliment the music to have a rougher feel to it. The bassline is also neglected, which is one of those things that really bring it together. The whistling sounds a bit too shrill, as well.

Beyond that I have no complaints.

I've been waiting quite a while for someone to do a proper cover of this.

Before I had heard the music in the game, I heard it on a MIDI. IIRC it was Tony Thai's. That MIDI in particular was my inspiration to learn an instrument. Unfortunately, inspiration and funds do not go hand in hand.

This is overall a very well done cover. The few things I don't like are rather nitpicky; the keyboard in the intro should be tweaked a bit, because it kind of stands out.

Like I said, very well done. Please don't stop making music anytime soon.

Jesus.

I would totally buy this if it were on a shirt.

Incredible.

Indeed, this is an amazing piece.

Have you considered selling your work as posters?

Awesome.

A lens flare.

I kid. The asteroid belt must've taken quite a bit of time.
