Since I'm useless at flash, I thought I'd submit some of my music, please have a listen. I'd love to see what you think, so if your not busy, please leave a review too. :)

It's a fun game and it looks like you've put quite a bit of effort into it. The characters are cool but it'd be better if there were different enemies and maybe a few different ways to attack them. I like the simple background layout but it'd be cool as well if they changed completely for different levels, not just in colour. I think it'd be cool if there was a bar on the bosses to show their remaining life and although I liked the music, a choice of a few different tracks would be cool. Overall, definatly worth playing, good job.

"Good, but could do with a few improvements."
Although the idea has been done before [kitten cannon, etc], this is worth playing. The graphics are tidy although the background could have some more detail in. I like the different power ups but there could be more of them. The boost option is cool, makes the game slightly more unique to similar ones I've played. The main improvements I'd enjoy are sounds, music [preferably a choice, including a mute button etc] and I would personally prefer if the speed of the house was just a tad faster. Nice work.

I'm not big on this, it's just too much of the same thing for my liking. I would much rather prefer a variety of levels, weapons and different tunes to choose from. I like the basics of the game and how smooth it is, and the graphics are professional, but very little in detail. Maybe it would've been more fun to protect something other than your own base aswell. However I do like the power-ups, particularly the one that added a base next to your own, though I didn't progress further because I simply didn't find it very entertaining. Mildly interesting but disappointing overall.

Who knew the simple logo could be used so creatively? I was thinking at first that it was just going to be simple effects but by the end I was very impressed. The music is excellent, I remember it from the extremely well decorated Christmas themed house video. I like how it's not only the logo that has been animated, but you still could have added a bit more to make it more exciting. Overall a good flash built on an excellent idea.

would of done more effects
ran out of time and it started to go really slow when i was editing it
(took an hour to export it to a flash file)

I'm pretty sure that after about 10-15 seconds into the game there's a point where three trees come together which makes it impossible to survive. On top of that you'd sometime be nearby but not actually come into contact with a dangerous object yet you'd still lose. Those aspects need to be improved on. The graphics could also use some work, they are too plain and could do with some more detail. The music is fine in my opinion, it still wouldn't hurt for there to be a choice, say.. before the game starts. It definatly needs some work and has the basics at the moment. At the very least it needs to made possible to continue endlessly. Keep trying.

It's a cool idea, but it needs to be developed. It would be better to see a variety of characters with a little more detail put in. The selection of colours is fine, but different styles of how you could use them could make the flash more enjoyable. I liked the different sizes aswell but it's not enough for me. It's too plain in my opinion. How about some background music too? :)

At first I thought it was just going to be the robot dancing, but then it got creative. Although the graphics weren't perfect, they were good enough in my opinion and went along nicely with the style of the flash and the music. I think it certainly deserves a place on Newgrounds and I hope you make more. Sweet job.

It's not bad if it's going to be a platform for things to come. I think there's a lot more you do could with this. The level that your character is placed in could be a lot more colourful and in the Christmas theme. You could also do added enemies with a variety of different levels to choose from. Different weapons could be cool too and a choice of the music (although I do like the tune playing, it just gets a bit repetetive). I like the character design but it looks like that's where you've put most of the effort into. At the moment, it's worth being on Newgrounds, but I'm sure you could do a better one that could be very popular. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much. I agree with everthing you said and I will keep this in mind as I create my next game. I especially agree about the limited variety of enimies, I had more planed but I ran out of time :(

To start off I was already impressed with the unique introduction. The tutorial was lengthy and useful also. Different game types are always good but you can never have too many. The variety of characters to choose from was handy and the idea itself is a creative one. I thought the sounds suited the style of the game, and the added effects, particularily when the countdown to the fight was made, was pretty good.
It looks like a lot of effort was put into making this flash and I hope its paid off. All I would've liked would for the fighting to be a bit more detailed, the one button was a little dull. Still, the weapons was a good idea, could always have more to choose from there aswell. Another thing is some of the levels were very easy due to the gaps in the middle. If you stood in a certain position after knocking down an enemy first, he'd drop and continue to fall down the same hole until the level ended. Apart from that this game is definatly worth playing, nice idea of the high scores too, not that I was good enough to get on them.
I look forward to more from you, good job.

Luckily that effort was in the most part recognised. I got daily 5th, so i'm happy with how i did for my very first game (since all i knew was VERY basic actionscript. just a whole heap of variables, movie clips, buttons and key functions. nothing special).
Thanks for playing and i hope you have better luck in the future with making it into the hall of fame!

Your artistic skills seem to be improving and your storylines, characters and settings are always inventive. The detail you put into your flashes is very impressive, a lot of artists often only concentrate their graphical techniques on the characters and often forget about the background, etc. 2007 will be a long time to wait but I can still look forward to your Genocide project until then.
I think the tune you've used could've ran on all the way to the end of the flash because I feel it ended a little too soon. It suits the style of this flash very well. I thought the violent scenes really added to the excitement and certainly made me more interested for the future.
I don't think there's anything more I could've asked from a trailer, so once again, superb work. Keep it up. :)

HEY awn! Coool.
My artistic skill = tablet :3 I luv it so...
Yes. the music was originaly planned to end with the flash.. but seeing how much there was actualy left ot the song, I ran out of things to tell about the series without giving TOO much away. I thought of introducing the characters, but forgot as I was getting tired, and being pressured by my team leader to finish -_-;
My deadline was June 1st. Heh, ahead of schedule.
Oh, and Genocide is being reanimated. Me and Stealth Beest decided my flash was crap, and needed to be redone with proper techniques and voice actors.
