I kinda get the same kick from this game that I had when I played the SNES and N64 mario games. Brilliant. Nothing more to add than that.
Only thing that disturbed the gaming experience was some short bits of loud white noise which appeared along with random sound effects. You probably know that already, if you don't, I'm running the game on Safari 3.1.2

That was fun, I'm very impressed by the characters and villains- very very well made. Much better than most games I've seen on the internet. The difficulty levels are on the spot, easy is challenging, but most people will probably get through it on their first try, normal and hard requires more strategy, and though I haven't played the Epic difficulty I guess the player will need a thorough walkthrough or something, which is just how a very hard/epic/impossible setting should be.
My only problem with personally it is that it's pretty slow, and with the continuous stream of enemies, the gameplay becomes repetitive and boring after a while.
anyway cool

Way to go folks. As promised, you flashy people have as much butt-liquid as you'd like from me!
Seriously, I never thought you'd actually finish that. Well done.

note that when I use the word "you" in this review, that's directed at any newgrounds user, not the flash author.
I don't like the idea of this "generator" at all. It encourages lazyness, abusive reviews and stat whoring. What's the point of reviewing a flash if you have to copy and paste a preset review because you're too lazy to write one yourself? It's nothing more than a +1 review count, and very likely a +1 review ban count as well.
As I pressed the "bad" button, all I got was grammatically incorrect, short text pieces of 3 or less lines. Usually abusive ones too. Obviously absolutely none of the reviews could offer a flash author any help at all.
Graphically not impressive at all either. Some black and white gradients serving as frames, what looks like quickly done Times New Roman text and a completely unrelated drawn woman. No idea what she did there, although it's probably what served as the easter egg. :/
This flash is really not anything special at all, content wise and graphic wise. I question the purpose of it though. If you can't properly review a flash, it's better to just stay off reviewing.

Well, sure it's a bit of fun... like, once (I know I'm not the target audience, but really). Surely the question is more what not to improve rather than what to improve, but anyway, I'll tell you what I think needs some purely aestethical improvements for starters:
- Animate Freddy, it looks hella cheap when he's just a symbol moving up and down. The best thing would probably be to make him swim (look up "Animation Challenge Wk4-6" here on Newgrounds if you need help with that) as the player presses up and down- eventually just make a short FbF-loop of him waving his arms like an idiot or something, so at least he isn't completely static. Same with the fishes and flies.
- Some kind of background would make it look much better- just draw some bog or whatever in the background. Or, since it is a game for kids and stuff, some unicorns and royal rainbows. Anything else than that ugly cyan colour.
- Freddy should make a sound when hit by a fish, branch, fly or heart. Like, "yum" for the flies and "ouch" for the fishes, that kinda stuff. Record some yourself, or look up some royalty-free samples, I don't care :)
For the gameplay: The controls are decent, I really think Freddy should be a little faster though. Not much more to say about the gameplay than that, it is an incredibly simplistic game after all.
Ok that's it
PS: Amazing background tune!!

Am I too late? I hope not.
My votes are:
Swimming Cycle: Razzy86
Pretty sweet and dramatic with all the motion blur in the start, but ends in an unexpected surprise. Very original take on the challenge. The cycle also loops perfectly, which is good.
Morphing: Vincoid
Only one of the submissions I actually laughed a bit at- simple and creative.
Personification: Vincoid
LOL.
I loved a lot of the other submissions, too.
Rudy: Great initiative, good structure, well put together and all. Nothin' much more to say about that.

I'm sad to announce I will not be taking part in future Weekly Animation events though. So..sorry. :/

That "homer watching the cursor" thing was pretty cool- I had a little bit of fun making awesome faces by moving my cursor around. Only a little though. I guess I'm weird.
Well for the game anyway. Decent drawings, characters were very close to the real ones. I think it could do better than those motion tween-esque ways of moving- they just go back and forth in straight lines. Gameplay is also decent- it's fun to play, once, just to have tried it. There's not much of a replay value, and it's pretty damn easy. It works perfectly fine, exactly as it should, I couldn't find a single glitch. Audio is good, since it is related to the Simpsons and stuff after all. Sound fx fits.
My only suggestion is that you make some harder levels, so it becomes more fun. It's a cool game nevertheless
ok 10 and 5 anyway

This really IS a wonderful piece of art, and I'm not even kidding. Never once have I been more emotionally moved by an animation. You captured the feelings of so many individuals on St. Patricks day perfectly. This really is how I, and very likely my entire family felt through that whole day. Well played.
If you want any ideas improvement (which honestly aren't needed), put more effort into drawing those shamrocks, as they look pretty rushed. And maybe lay off the glow a bit. It's pretty damn perfect already.
