You may need to scroll a bit to find this:
1st. (3/3)
Very enjoyable Lethal Company animation. (it really needs its own Video Game Parody collection!)

2nd. (-1/3)
I don't really have a good feeling about this. This is most likely feels like a shitpost, ie. the "I turned this into an RPG" kind.

I also feel like some of the background tiles are premade from somewhere, further lowering the effort-ometer.
Even if you're using RPGMaker, Scratch, or some other non-standard game engine, It's always good to have good custom graphics to fall back on (examples: OMORI, Yume Nikki are both great), regardless of whether the design is good or not.

Score's definitely boosted.
UPDATE: I also want to add that one of the contributors is spamming this thread with insults and otherwise making this thread worse for everyone. Bad sportsmanship. I'm knocking another point off!

3rd. (2/3)
Sidenote, I got a "uploads.ungrounded.net’s server IP address could not be found." error initially, so I couldn't play it until much later into the review.

Most of the actual reviews there hover around 4 stars and .
Presentation is great, though deep down it's still a variation of Sokoban, that decades-old push tiles type game, My only gripe is that it's not in true fullscreen. Worth taking a look.

4th and 5th (2/3 each).
I'm placing these two together with the same score, just for fun!
Both are a bit sketchy, #4 is over 4 minutes long and atmospheric, 5th has a nice pencil-drawn style.

(not quite) Honorable Mention: #10
At 3.59/5, this is definitely overrated. No offence, we'll talk about it later.

Overall, the top spot is really good, the rest have only minor flaws.
Total Score: 8/15
Best / Favourite: Sig's First Day

Besides, there are worse movies that are overrated than just mine movie.

Okay, let's see here.

I don't really have a good feeling about this. This is most likely feels like a shitpost, ie. the "I turned this into an RPG" kind.

I made that game for a jam, with the theme being "I HATE ___". The jam has a window of only 11 days for the entry to be made, and I spent around 2 days conceptualizing the idea of the game. So by the time I could actually start creating the game, there were 9 days to have it created. Was it rushed? Possibly, but that should explain why the idea seems shallow and low effort to you.

I also feel like some of the background tiles are premade from somewhere, further lowering the effort-ometer.
Even if you're using RPGMaker, Scratch, or some other non-standard game engine, It's always good to have good custom graphics to fall back on (examples: OMORI, Yume Nikki are both great), regardless of whether the design is good or not.

Again, if you considered the fact that this was for a jam, you would likely realize that there's a possibility that I wouldn't have had the time or creative energy to draw and form original assets, just for this small game.

Score's definitely boosted.

That sounds like bias, I created this game with the intent for being an entry for a game jam hosted by a friend of mine, effectively to support them. Not for getting a high score.

I can't control him. I'm not god. Best I can do is ask him to stop. Also he's not insulting anyone?

im screwed

Hello! I’d like to give my input into this “ordeal” that is happening right now and I’d like to start with by saying that congrats on getting out there and showing off your stuff on newgrounds! You definitely live up to your name and have potential


I want to give my silly little take on what I think cuz yknow I’ve been lurking these daily comments for a very long time now and looking at what’s going on currently made me wanna come in here and give my input.

Now I will say that while I think your latest animation was neat, I wouldn’t say it wouldn’t be an animation that looks like it would be given an award. Really it’s just that there’s really nothing going on in it and while I see that you’re only now starting to animate, I’d say if you want to have more of a chance of getting in the dailies, maybe you could put a little more effort into your animations as in spend more time practicing like making small loops and learning more about the fundamentals. Now I know you may already know this and I know you’re putting in your best, but subjectively, I think that’s lacking.


I also want to point out that you really care wether your animations get in daily and I just wanna say I know it’s exciting that something you made gets rewarded, you also gotta be a little more realistic and not care as much yknow. I see you commenting first saying how your animation just barely made top 10 and to me, that rubs me the wrong way because it looks like you want sympathy points or something yknow. Not everything you make will be a hit and it’ll not be rewarded no matter how much you spend time on it and that’s ok! You just gotta be patient and eventually you’ll be on the top 5! Now you may also already know that and that’s fine really.

You can completely ignore what I’ve been saying and you can do whatever you want with my critiques and that’s fine. It’s nice getting a fresh pair of eyes and you have skill (lol) and I’m glad you have people and the fine daily commenters here supporting your work! And i’m here to be argumentative, but just keeping it civil. This is a forum after all and forums are meant to be civil conversations to me.


I hope you took in what I have to say, or don’t, I dont care, but I hope you take your own advice and never give up creating cuz the true winners of the dailies are the people who post their animations on this lovely site. Take care now!

edit: also frog if you’re seeing this, please give your own thoughts on the matter rather than using my input or referencing this post. Just saying for an fyi :3
