This is a pretty good first movie. Though it could of been better, if you held up the continuity of it all a little better. But still, its a great first start so good job!

The way you made the turkey look all sad, was really touching I must say. But a turkey killing himself because people don't appreciate Thanksgiving where he & much of his kind are killed in mass...hmm it makes so little sense that it has to be hilarious haha!
As for the movie itself. The art could be improved a bit and the music was perfect.

The art was good, the music was great and the animation itself was awesome. I just loved the way you did everything and the only thing that could of made it better, was if it was a bit longer.
But hey, it was great while it lasted.

A interesting short movie. The art was generally good, the voice work was good and that stuff with the grenades was hilarious just because it was so stupid lol.
And I see some of Quentin Tarantino found its way into the movie.

Damn, how you could make something small so great. Loved the art, the music was good and the voice work was actually good too.
Next up, a flash about someone not using a coaster in that guys house lol.

The level of violence was perfect, and the transition from it to ""The Cole Train" was just hilarious.
Its always great to see more from you. Keep up the good work!

"Cool...I got third place on my first try!"
The game was interesting and fun. I liked the idea of different color lasers/meteors. And the music was perfect for the game.
== Improvements ==
First, I would say to make it so if you hit a meteor with the wrong color laser then you will lose points; maybe not 100 but something like 50. Or maybe make how many points you lose based off how many colors are available. So for 2 colors, you lose 50 points then go down 10 points per new color so 6 colors make you lose 20 points. And another thing to make it harder on the player, would be making the laser charge.
I would say both improvements would make the game harder, and make it so players can't just go on blasting all willy nilly as there be penalties for such making them think more.
Next, I would say maybe introduce power-ups of sorts. Like a device that turns all the meteors on screen one color and what color it changes them to is based on what color is generates at the time and what color laser you hit it with. So if you hit it with a blue laser when its yellow, then you make all the meteors green. And to benefit from this most, possibly make each new color meteor worth more since they usually appear more rarer in the level they are introduced. Another idea could be a power-up that freezes/slows every meteor temporarily (could be a vortex bomb to keep with the theme) or another could simply be bomb that destroys everything on screen when activated.
Other than that, if not taking the above into account to make people think more and have it be more about strategy and as a result harder. I would say, generally make it harder. Make the meteors come at a faster pace, make the colors vary a bit more to throw us off...and more levels and in turn more colors. Maybe say a maximum of 10, as I think anymore be too difficult unless you made it easier in other ways.
And finally, I say the art could be improved a bit. Not saying its bad, as it is good generally but hey there is always room for improvement with art on most things here after all.
...........................
I say with some polish and some improvements, I could see this game being very popular and addictive. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your very detailed review. You're suggestions are very useful, I was thinking of having powerups of some kind and those are some great ideas for them. I'm not sure if more colors would make it harder or just more confusing, I was thinking of other ways to make later stages harder like things to avoid shooting. Thanks again for all your suggestions.

This was some funny stuff, definitely will check out the other Taco-Man stuff. I say the only thing that need to be improved be the art, though the art kind of fits the whole thing so maybe it shouldn't be improved lol.

A nice short movie. The art was ok, the music was good and the end was funny. And considering you seemed to make this on the fly, I increased the rating a point just for making something this good so fast.

Thanks, as for my art I'm hoping to get a tablet for Christmas this year, but for some reason Santa Claus always gets me socks...

"I am a man of science (bong hit) ...lol!"
This was awesome! The art was good, the music was great and it was funny & all that. In fact, a lot of this reminded me of Ren & Stimpy with the art style, humor, and even that close-up. Was the show an influence?
