It's really hard to say whether this is good or not. The animation runs smoothly and nicely, but because it was incredibly short I think you should work on it more and then resubmit.
Don't get me wrong, it looks great. But don't submit something good that's only 15 seconds (didn't count) long. Cause you would be MUCH better off if this was something like 2 minutes long.

Well, I understand what you mean. I didn't have a storyline, so thats why it's so short.
Btw thanks for the 9 =)

It's good, although it's REALLY annoying that the little Mochibot Highscore thing pops up EVERYTIME I die. I have to press "No thanks" and then "Close" and even then it takes forever to disappear. Please remove that sometime and this game will be 100% fun instead of 80% out of annoyance. Make a button that says "Submit Highscore" to make it appear so the flow of the game doesn't stop.

Thank you for your comment! The annoying automatic mochi highscore is now replaced by a submit highscore button.

Kinda poor work there, although I will admit I at least got a chuckle out of it.
Work done in one hour should not be posted on newgrounds, ever. Gotta put more time and effort into it!

The game she's talking about HAS to be Dead Rising. No other game has ever been so annoying. Of course, it IS fun, but there are escort missions every 30 seconds which do nothing but waste your time. The survivors you escort are completely helpless, and they are all so easy to kill. Dead Rising noooo doubt. Either way, nice animation. It made me laugh.

I think people need to shut up about "this being taken from another game". Sure, there are PLENTY of games like it that came before. But you know what? Why don't I just go and claim that Halo isn't original by pointing out how similar it is to Quake or Doom? No point, because it's similar gameplay, but differences/enhancements.
This game is much like Bloody Pingu Throw, Kitten Cannon, Nanaca, etc. But you guys need to stop saying how "he stole the idea" because honestly, who can make a game today that is TOTALLY ORIGINAL? It's almost impossible. If you look, he drew all of it BY HIMSELF. Made upgradable items BY HIMSELF. and the coder coded it BY HIMSELF. It's not like they ripped apart the others and stole it all. It's all original except for the concept. Oh teh noes, he took a concept. Woopee doo. Watch a few sitcoms on TV and you'll see the exact same thing going on.
Sooo about the game. Regardless of how awesomely drawn it was, the gameplay suffers abit. I wait a few minutes after unloading the jet pack and gun on him, and he just flies forever. Of course, how do you make that fun with a game like this? You really can't. So it's alright. I won every award and played it all the way through. Intuitive, interesting, and sometimes exciting.
Another thing, the money issue. People complain about "how it takes tooo long to get" but it's actually really easy once you start slowly buying upgrades. I mean, what if it went fast? The game would end too soon. The point of getting upgrades is that it's supposed to be slow at first so you can keep playing for a while. THAT'S THE IDEA. I got all the upgrades no prob, just takes a little while to scrounge it up once you start, then it's super incredibly easy.
That's about it.
10/10 Art
10/10 Concept (Disregarding any similarities)
8/10 Sounds (They were generic and overused, but still cool)
6/10 Music (Got really dull after a while)
10/10 Gameplay (Very Addictive)

My favorite thing about this whole thing is the fact that you used more frame-by-frame animation rather than the cheap way out of tweening everything. I mean, you did do it, but at least you kept it to obvious stuff like zooming in and making that monster slowly move. So huge props man, good job!
Also, just as a side note, you might want to make your brush smaller when it comes to light and shading. It was a little too bulby ;3.

evidence that I rushed it, you've got a closer eye than most people that have reviewed. Thanks :}

This seems to be an 'ok' for a pilot. Personally, I thought it was pretty good. Although abit cliche, I'll give you a decent score. As for the animation, it was almost all tweened. Practically tween-rapped if you ask me. Tween tween tween. However, you DID use it effectively, and that gives tweening a good name. So congrats on that, the dialogue saves the rest.
I'm going to sound like an old people but, is it a little too much to ask for a little frame-by-frame now and then? I mean, it may not look as great as tweening AT FIRST but PRACTICE makes huge, and I mean huge, improvements. Frame-by-frame is also so much more vastly dynamic than tweening. And it looks more professional to show yourself trying something hard.
I'm rambling on like an old people aren't I? Sorry, wanted to get my point across. Hope the series goes well! Don't steal ideas, and make some kick-ass animation! :D
Author's Response:
Yeah I really tweened the crap out of this sucker, and you're right I should do more FBF stuff, and I think Fizz is going to be a great series for me to practice FBF on, expect less tweens in episode 2 for sure!

The main problem I have with this is a couple main things that some people already pointed out.
The whole stick figure thing was actually ok, although it's not in good taste. You animate and draw very well, so I can understand if you started this on sticks and will end this in sticks. I just don't prefer it really.
The thing that just drove me over the wall is the eyes. Sure it's a cartoon, but I hate it when people constantly attempt Anime eyes. You did it ok, but honestly I dislike it greatly. It kinda looks bad when 2 mouths can fit inside an eye that big. What's so hard about keeping proportion? The detail adds touch, but it honestly should not be apparent, it should be kinda small because eyes ARE small. The eye brows were alright, but I honestly didn't like their size either.
The shape the whole eye socket is in is a little exaggerated, it just looks mad all the time. And it sucks worse that the whole eye is just massive.
A nose is nothing I would complain about, honestly sticks don't need em' XD.
Lastly, I think the way you were trying to dramatize this was bad. You aimed high when it came to dialog (I guess that would be on TomaMoto's part) but it was just overly-done and I couldn't feel it. But hey, I get that way with almost all animations because it's hard to do effectively.
Good work, just didn't like alot about it.
5/10, good animation, no so good drawings and not so good execution when it comes to emotion/acting.

I loved it!
Animation was very well done! The drawings were pretty great!
The lip syncing? Very, very nice! Love it the most!
The humor of it all? I've made about 4 youtube poops (not on NG) containing the same mixture of words and characters... its ones like these that inspired me to make some ^.^
10/10
5/5
Fav'd!
