I wasn't able to understand the voices in my head because they spoke Spanish. So I took two years of Spanish. Now I wish I couldn't understand them...

I'm a fan of defense games like this one, and I have been since my days of playing StarCraft. The gameplay is just above average, topping various other defense games found on the Portal, but it's still nothing new. I haven't played many defense games set in the past, so I enjoyed that. As for the graphics, they were nice. I didn't feel an overwhelming sense of artistic vision on this one, as the monsters seemed somewhat bland, but it didn't take away from the gameplay, so I was fine with it. The menus and such were well done, I did notice that. The colors worked well, in my opinion, though the scheme may have worked better if the whole game had been given a slight graphics tweaking. I'd suggest considering a graphics overhaul if you ever consider another defense game, but that's just my opinion. The sound was alright, I didn't have any problems with that aspect of the game. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't in love with it. A bit more effort into the sound may have made me a bit more fond of it, but that's not the most important thing in the world (though for me, it can be kind of a nuisance if the sound is terrible).
Overall:
Good gameplay, not fantastic, but I'll end up playing it for some time.
Sound was decent, didn't cause me to lose interest.
The graphics are just good enough to keep me playing.
All in all, you got a good game here. I hope to see more from you.

Huzzah for you, my good man. You have obtained my 10 for the day! But seriously, you have done a marvelous job on this movie. I had my doubts at first, but I have to say that you more than proved yourself capable of delivering great humor with deep political undertones. Not many people (especially using Flash as their media) are able to do this. I say 'bravo' to you and your Flash, my good man.
Bravo indeed!

I loved your take on the FCAT and how evil it is. I used to live in Florida and can tell you that I really hated the whole idea of it. Then I moved to Indiana and found that they have an equally ridiculous test called the ISTP (or something like that...). Eventually I just dropped out and got a GED. It was my way of flipping them the bird, y'know?
Anyway, great animation. Coulda been better, but I won't hold it against you. Practice, practice, practice. And please work on the sound. It wasn't intolerable, but it could use just a bit of tweaking.

The ending, I must say, gave me quite the laugh. Kudos. Amazing. Keep up the good work.

The more I watch your movies, the more I start to appreciate them. That was really good, although it took me more than one watch to see that. Keep up the good work, and don't lose that style.

Alright, I know that I already went and reviewed one of these movies, but I think I should tell you that this one wasthe best. I don't know why, but it cracked me up. This movie really gives me a bit of confidence that you'll do well with this series if you can make them all as funny and stylish as this one. Good job.

It really isn't a 'hit or miss' thing for me, but I can see how people will tend to go either way. I'm personally in the middle, if there is one. I like your style, but it's too short for me to actually find a good deal of humour in it. I'm hoping your next project'll be a bit longer. Then maybe I'll have myself a big laugh. Btw, are you a fan of Home Movies? lol, You've probably answered that already, but, heh, you remind me a lot of Brendon Small.

But, then again, it wasn't as good as the earlier ones. I like the fact that you are able to crank these out so quickly, but I'd rather see you doing some well-thought out movies rather than rambled ones. I'm not sure if you meant it to be like that, but it sounded to me like it was all just spur-of-the-moment, random dialogue. I do hope you keep making these, and I hope you can figure out how to make them live up to their potential. Good luck, man.

I don't know. The first episode was exactly that; spur-of-the-moment random dialogue that I cranked out really fast. And I'm actually spending more time on these. But I'll try to make them a lot better too.

I do believe that you have created a masterpiece with this brilliant little flash. Such a grand story, thrown together with amazing voice acting and sound, dazzling animation... What else is there to say, but, "Bravo!" The story is done in such a way that it sent goosebumps up and down my arms, and chills up my spine. Amazingly done.

How shall I begin to review David Firth; the man, the legend. I must say that I am utterly amazed at your overall style. Most people could not have even dreamed of pulling off such an animation, but you managed to create an amazing masterpiece. As I am writing this, I am watching the third episode and I can honestly say that you are brilliant, simply brilliant. These films are absolutely sublime in every way. There have only been a few people to ever buy property in my mind, such as Tim Burton and Johnny Depp for their amazing talents and creativity. You, my friend, can feel free to buy as much property as you feel neccessary. In short: You are amazing, keep cranking out the genius.
