Wasn't familiar with your work until just recently. Of all of the Step movies, this is by far my favorite. Great animation, very good storyline, and like the music (though I have no clue what they are saying). Waiting for Step 4

"And to think, Stick figures have become boring..."
...But this is anything but boring. Ever since Xiao Xiao, the expectation on stick figures has been high..least from my eyes. And to see so many pathetic stick animations that have come and gone, I've grown sick of them...
But now, there is this piece. First, the detail to the background, characters, and weapons is superb. The animation is flawless. Angles used, are incredible, though I would have liked a bit closer towards the end when they go all out. Would love to see this turn into a series with a solid storyline.
10/10 and 5/5 from me.

It was simple yet different. Very smooth animation, and simple colors, yet you made them work perfect.
The only flaw I noticed was the sound. Something like this would flow alot better to some kind of music. The repetitive sounds got old very quickly.

"Normally I hate stick figures"
But this was very good. You gave depth to the stick figures which was a plus. And they animation was fluid which is almost nil with these types of movies. Thanks for reviving sticks that were worth watching.

thanks :) im glad you liked it and im glad you agree that it's a good stick movie, i hate the reputation that stick movies have since they CAN be animated very well, just many people who are beginners animate with them and those animations suck, so people get the impression that all stick movies suck. thanks for the review :)

For something so simple, I really enjoyed this.
Graphics: are good, of course not to much to them. More depth and color on the shapes would be good. Also, just to give insight of how far you are, maybe every 30 seconds change the background up to something different.
sound: the sound effect of your gun is not annoying, and love the music(never get tired of hearing that NG submission)
Fun factor: there plenty. Such a simple game, yet very addicting.
Nice job!

This game was a bit to much like clear vision. No points scored for originality. Now onto my gripes.
Not sure whats up with the first stage, but i executed the guy 6 times and it kept failing me. Once i shot him the 7th time, it finally let me advance.
The second stage you can clean up the blood a bit when you take the guy out.
The third stage, i gave up after the 5th try. I shot that cop at least 20 times in the head and he would not go down. Thats one badass cop!.....or a fluke.
I love sniper types of games. By far the ones that intrigue me the most. But this one lacked story, development, and anything really original.

Ok, a few things. First, the animation. Some frames its fluid, others its choppy. One can never really catch the flow to the movie. Also, if your going to make the wind make some guys shirt move, might be wise to do the same with his hair...especially when its blowing in the wind just a few moments later.
Graphics are pretty good, but without full blown animating them, they look stale.
The story..i'm sure the comic books are great, but people (like myself) who have not read them would like to know a bit more about the story. 2 guys fighting over a chick who looked like she was about to be OFF'd then having dragons come out of everyone kinda threw me for a curve.
Sound. You lose points here. You cannot put a highly recognizable video game song(Halo) for your background. First off, when I hear the halo sound, i think of master cheif going nuts on aliens, not sword swinging people who turn into dragons. So please be a bit more original here. If you cannot locate something original, check the audio segment here on newgrounds.
This has a lot of potential to be very kick ass, but need to make sure the foundation is set before proceeding.

As much as I love foreign films, my biggest gripe is subtitles, hence that is my first gripe here. As already stated, voices would improve this greatly.
As for the music score, I didnt mind it to much. Sound was good, but being such a dramatic intro, i would maybe change it up a bit.
Graphics and animation were fair. I'm sure if you took a bit more time, you could improve on them.
Storyline....now this you got me on. You start the tone just right by introducing, I'm guessing, the 2 main characters in obviously a very dramatic/hostile scenerio. So you instantly get peoples attention. From a writer standpoint, you have done one of the hardest things already, which is keeping people interested. Just make sure the following episodes support it =)
