Brilliant!!

It's such a simple flash but it just manages to connect to me in such a subtle but awesome way!

It's funny because I can relate to all of this, there are times when I would just bust out an old gaming console and play old games! This game in particular I manage to beat a few times a year just because I love it. Mario RPG is an amazing game and you honestly couldn't have picked a better game or song from that game for this animation!

On the plus side:
+Like I said I loved the game and song you picked so thats one
+The humor is on a good level and I liked how you meshed the old and new generations of gaming to add to the humor.(Master Chief criticizing Mario RPG)

On the negative:
-The animation is kind of low grade as far as visual appeal go
-There are some long pauses between some of the speaking

So thats the low down I gotta admit I liked this a lot!

Wow actually heart warming..

I must admit for such a short film that appears to be just a silly little clip actually brought out such a deeper meaning. It may not be what you were going for but I gathered that Christmas is a spirit and no matter how deranged or psycho someone is a spirit is an entity that can fill anyone with that warm glow inside. I'm Thoroughly impressed

Spectacular

I was really blown away by this I honestly was. I am a big fan of all of the stick movies but you raised the bar for making them. This was honestly one of the best flashes I've ever seen. I know you dont know anything about me but I am a very serious grader and I love critiquing its my thing so heres my feelings on the whole thing.

My feelings:
+Marvelous visuals for a stick movie, they really blew me away for a flash
+I loved especially how you gave no background to Garrett, it makes him more mysterious that way it helps fit the persona of a thief
+Loved how well the foot movement audio meshed with the actual movement, none of the sound effects seemed out of place and that is a great achievement for a flash artist.
+I loved also how you gave a lot of different personalities to all the different characters, for example the guard who walks passed the room that garrett is hiding in that was talking to himself, its such a miniscule detail but it helps make the characters more lovable and realistic and it made the flash come alive more. In most flash artists tend to give the same or similar personalities to all of their characters. Brilliant characters
+Fantastic premise for a story too because it really threw me off. When I saw the title I figured it was a parody and I was gonna get some good laughs in, but in a story that has a funny premise you managed to turn it into a badass stealth tale. That was amazing
-Unfortunately with all great flash comes a few downers so here they are: For one thing some of the characters movements seemed sluggish at times like when Garrett jumped for the two balconies.
-Also Garrett is supposed to be the best thief in the world so he should be a talented archer, everytime he took his bow out to take a shot with it he took his bittersweet time and any stealth video game player or actual spy knows that time is never on your side in espionage.
-The last negative is that it ended:[ I was really saddened when it ended so I hope to see a sequal to this eventually.

Overall this was an amazing flash animation that I am definitely adding to my favorites, 5/5 10/10

I wish you luck on your future endeavors.

Superb

Out of all the "launch-esque" games I've played on Newgrounds this one certainly does it the best. The concept along with the characters and environment made for a funny world within the game. I was very happy with the animation and the power ups as well. It doesn't drag on for hours like other games like this does and that made it all the more fun to play:D I thoroughly enjoyed playing it and I do look forward to more games like this in the future. I wish you luck on your future endeavors.

Also my best score was 1:04:50

Can improve

Well here is what I think. I like the idea so far and you do have intentions to expand upon it so heres my input.

Alright well the mechanics seem to be working great so far so that goes to show that the game can be a great success. I think you should consider putting game modes in such as: Beat the clock or Free Play mode where you can just fool around with it without having to worry about a clock. Also another thing would be putting multiple bubbles on the screen to increase difficulty.

Also one thing that I think really should be changed are the colors. Think of the people that have vision problems, you have a black background with red circles that have black in them. In order to to accommodate everyone it would be wise to put a bright color against the dark background. Other than that this beta does seem like a success and I wish you luck on your future endeavors.

Not bad at all.

I must admit I am very impressed. Usually these "find the object" games arent challenging for me and I never usually have a tough time finding the objects at all, however, this game actually gave me a fair challenge and I appreciate the difficulty of it.

Okay well now that you know what I like I might as well tell you the only real thing that bothered me. The music, not the tune itself I think its a pleasant tune but I hate how abrupt the loop is. Perhaps if you closed that gap between the loop it would work better. Other than that, great job!

So catchy!

I love listening to this tune, it uses a combination of melodies and harmonies that when meshed the way they are just sooth the soul. No matter how shitty my day is if I watch a C&H short and hear this at the end my day automatically becomes a million times better! So really fantastic job putting this together. You're a master of all the arts Dan! Stay awesome
