Curses.
Why, O Divine Adam, must you smite our hopes and dreams like you do? Naught we worms can do will ever surpass or even match your damned creativity! Damned, I say!
This is the most beautiful Brackenwood you've ever done and unquestionably the finest Flash on the internet (next to that Numa Numa thing... that Gary just breaks me up). The details stretch so far that on several zooms there are still new things to discover. Your water effects never cease to amaze, but I suppose that comes from years of FX direction at Disney. Even old Bitey returns in a new beautiful state. 10/10 in Graphics, hands down.
Style? You've created a world. An alternate dimension for yourself and your followers to play in. It's so atmospheric that it leaks out of the computer screen. Now I've got a bunch of plants growing around my desk, thank you very much. Moss is hard to get out of carpet. 10/10.
I know the music isn't as stunning as some might hope, but for MIDIs it's as good as they come. As for sound effects, there is far more ambiance in this installment. Everything blends together perfectly, whether it be footsteps, water rushing, birds chirping, or lily pad creatures floating up a mountain. 10/10
Violence? Bitey gets bonked with a rock. Brackenwood is family entertainment. It's as far from Madness as it can get (thankfully). 3/10
Interactivity? Though it's tempermental, the new controller improves the Brackenwood experience tenfold. Now a normal 7 minute movie can be broken into parts. This also facilitates the finding of certain secrets, which I'm sure you kept in mind when you made it. It's no game, but it made littleFoot even better than it was. 10/10
Humor? Bitey gets bonked with a rock. It's not Decline. You've got the same quirky sense of humor, but I'm glad to get it in moderation. Overwhelming humor would destroy Brackenwood. Er, should I say humour? 5/10
Thus, you get a 10. Something that the lowly masses can never hope to achieve to the massive extent you have. This fully deserves the 4.75 it currently has and I hope it stays at the #1 position for a long time. Of course, don't you feel guilty about beating all of these kids at their hobby?
Ten out of ten.
