There's not enough here to really say whether I should or should not like your animations. This would be more fitting as a loop for the art portal, rather than movies. Test animations are really just meant for the dumping grounds and then you post a link of it in a Latest News post on your profile page or to send to friends for their thoughts. This is to help minimize clutter on the portal. Chances are, this will not survive, but not because no one wants to see your animations, but because it is a test. By all means, keep going, please. Add more to it to tell a short, simple story. I'll gladly watch that.

Edit: It succeeded! ...barely, but still! A win's a win! I guess that means you absolutely must make more animations.

Congratulations, Toggle.

ToggleDragon responds:

thank you for the advice, i will definitly take this into account in the future.

DS wasn't a particularly balanced Wars game when playing against others, but it was a lot of fun using those busted dual strikes against the CPU.

This is your first time doing frame-by-frame animation? Man, you have every right to feel accomplished. Beautiful stuff.

MoopersThings responds:

Definitely has it’s quirks but I always had a blast playing around with em!

And thank you, I really appreciate it! I’m very happy with the way it turned out!

I know I've played this game a very long time ago, but I don't think it was on the NES. Probably from one of Namco's arcade collections. Maybe on an actual arcade cabinet. Maybe I played Tank Battalion, instead. Dang it, Moe! Why did you have to go and make me stop being productive to try and figure out which old-as-dirt tank game I played once as a child?

Call to Adventure is a excellent song, but it seems too upbeat for a game about tank warfare. Need something more gritty, I think.

MoeAnguish responds:

You're welcome lmao, I'm on this site to make people less productive uwu

And thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to play this and sharing your thoughts.

Game is alright. I can't fit the entire screen on my main monitor, so I have to play it on the secondary (it has a different resolution). Deaths can feel pretty cheap when an enemy appears from off screen suddenly and immediately sends out half a dozen shots in my direction. Controls don't feel "tight" but it plays well enough to not matter. Solid job with the text by Cyberdevil and larrynachos always produces excellent music.

MoeAnguish responds:

Thanks for playing!

Not a bad prototype. Almost reached 20000 points, too. Movement needs fine-tuning, for sure. If I didn't use rope perfectly, Joey would just touch a block and fall back down. His movement is too fast for proper jumping, as well. Some levels were just Joey getting bum-rushed by three or four ghosts the moment the level began. That's a cheap way to die and lose all of one's progress.

I'm surprised you went with music from Macleod, though maybe that's a placeholder, as well. I'm sure you could have found something more refreshing on Newgrounds, rather than drink from the same well as numerous other creators.

Working on this and Syrup's game must be exhausting. Don't overexert yourself, Moe. It's important, sure, but if you strain yourself too much now, you might not be able to continue doing it in the long run.

MoeAnguish responds:

Thanks for playing, and you're right about the movement, it definitely needs some more work and it's on my to-do list for this project. and yeah, i just thought it sounds nice and it was the first thing i found, so i went with it. but next time i might as well go on here to look for something better.

And don't worry, my dude. i'm used to working a lot, and besides, if there's good thing coming from these projects (Money, fulfillment, etc) then i don't mind it. gotta give something of the same value as what you're trying to get in order to actually get it imo. but thanks for the advice, i do think i need more breaks instead of maybe once a week.

I'm probably going to be the only person who was listening to this and had a "DiCaprio pointing at the TV" meme moment when I heard Outlaw Frontier weaved into it.

Bertn1991 responds:

Yes! You win the Bertn Person of the Year Award for noticing <3

I wonder... if I start this before heading off to work and it continues to play until I return, will it fill my home with the complex aroma of freshly-baked piano?

Bertn1991 responds:

Filling your vacant home with background music would be an honor <(_ _)>

Been so long since I played Secret of Mana that I wouldn't remember if this was similar or not. Aside from the adorable dragon and rough gameplay, there wasn't a lot to SoM that I found to be all that memorable.

My mind isn't really able to link the music to the thumbnail (or the general concept of it). It certain sounds like bertn work, but it also seems too, uh... man, this is gonna sound like BS... it's too focused. Minimized in its scope, I guess? It's difficult to explain. See, I can picture one, but you got me trying to imagine a multitude of spirits from this bonfire and this song doesn't really delivery on that. If there was more going on in the background (maybe a strong echoing effect of some kind), it would still have that overall effect of pertaining to a particular ghost (presumably the one we would choose to fixate upon if we ever came across such an event), but also reminding the listener that they're surrounded by several others flying about. Right now, this is more like what I'd expect to hear in a film about a person seeing their loved one's soul pass on to the other side and nothing else around them really matters at that moment.

Bertn1991 responds:

I hear ya. I suppose the scope is a bit...smol, and maybe the pictures in your head don't match the title, but that's okay. With a generous four stars, it would seem it was still a pleasant experience. Sincerely, thanks for stopping by. You're one of the good ones.

I don't know much about the OC arena, but Megadog looks like something out of 2000s Flash animation and I love him for that. I hope he's bros with Clifford the Big Red Dog. They could hang out at the park, play in the lake, and people would nickname them "Mustard and Ketchup." It'd be great! Now, should the right arm be twisted back like that? Seeing the hand at that angle looks odd. I'd assume it was to position himself to swipe at the lizard if it got close enough, but a straightened arm would more suitable for doing that.

I was expecting the two to come together and form some shade of violet in the middle since the name of the piece itself is about mixing colours. Provides an excellent amount of detail in spite of its size and simplicity. You can clearly tell who is who without having to zoom in and I always find that impressive.

You definitely had a thing for Angry Birds back then, I see. For me, it was the ninja turtles. Didn't really keep any drawings from that long ago. Each time I moved to a new state, it meant tossing out everything that wasn't furniture, clothes, and collectibles. A shame I didn't own a computer back then to salvage my writings and doodles. Oh well.

ICam2k responds:

Yeah, I probably could've done that. Although I'm willing to cut myself some slack since I was attempting to replicate these character centric animations as they appear in LED screen on the palletes in Side Order despite how simple they look, so they where supposed to be short and simple by nature. And I remember redrawing these two multiple times just in that side angle because of how "off" they kept turning out. The title is actually a reference from one of the lines Marina says upon the near end during the story, but I suppose I accidentally clickbaited you for this animation nonetheless, so I'll have to say my apologies.
Yeah. That was that one part of my life I attempted to bury because 1. it's a mobile game where most consider to be too "kid-ish" by today's standards and 2. the drawings back then were in a worse quality even compared to the ones where I attempted to "restart", but then quickly got over that irrational disgust since I've come to acknowledge that it was a time period where my kid-self was just simply learning stuff and I still have interest in videogames regardless (albeit with more broader options), but at least I know I'm not the only one out there.
I do love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though. I remember that time where my brother and I watched two episodes of the 2003 series off the DVD, played a game based on that and even once owned a figurine of Ralph who was actually more based on the '87 cartoon given how different he looked from the more serious action packed 2003 series (although lost it due to room cleanup unfortunately).

Reminds me of the old days of playing MTG. I could totally see "rubber armor" turned into an artifact card from the early-to-mid 90s.
