This is your basic vanilla sniping game. The story is a little generic, but most sniping games have this problem, so no points off for that. The ability to put down your rifle and see the whole stage was useful and something I appreciated. However, two things bothered me a bit.
1. The fact that not a single person had an actual face, or any other notable features made the game feel unrealistic. I felt like it was shooting cardboard cut outs instead of real people.
2. While I understand that head shots SHOULD be worth more than body shots, the fact they were worth only 50% accuracy annoyed me. Even if you nailed every single target in one shot, never missing once, if they were all body shots, it came out to 50% accuracy. Maybe they should be more like 75% or something?
anyway, this game shows a good amount of potential. Keep it up, and I hope to see more work!

It's nice to see another game out like this, since you do a great job with those sift head games. The game was really good, but there were two things that sort of took away from the experience.
1. Although the rage button mashing was a unique concept, it took awhile to actually hit the button enough times and to finish the scenes. It felt like a break in the game play.
2. When it came to the shooting scenes, you had unlimited ammo and a magizine with unlimited capacity. It made it seem...childish, since you could just click as fast as possible and only have to aim in the general direction of whatever you were shooting at.
The voting on what to do next sounded good, and I hope to play the sequal sometime soon!

The pandemic series has always been fun to play, from the very first game to the one I'm writing a review for now. This game has both good and bad in it.
I loved how time was realistic, having hours that passed in the game, as opposed to hitting the "end turn" button and feeling like your virus went to sleep. I also liked the fact ship yards were added, making two ways for your virus to travel over seas. The three different classes were also nice, as was an easy and hard difficulty. Governments did more than just shut down borders and planes. All of these things enhance the gameplay drastically, making it (in my opinion) better,
However, there are some things I think could use improvement (these are just suggestion, whether you use them or not is up to you.
1. Not every place had an airport or ship yard. As you may of heard several times, Madagascar was really hard to infect. Peru also became difficult, once it shut down it's borders, they stayed clean. Placing airports and shipyards in all the regions would be nice.
2. Many people (including me) wonder just how a disease without any symptoms is able to be detected and make people want to take action. Instead of making an undetectable disease detectable, why not just make it so you have to have at least one symptom at all times? Otherwise, everyone is already sick.
3. A lot of the time, governments will start closing borders and stopping transport when the players disease affect a country that is on the other side of the globe. In my game for instance, why would Peru seal it's borders when china becomes infected? It makes it seem like the game doesn't want you to win. Perhaps government actions should only occur when the disease happens in the country next to it, or when a place planes and boats travel often becomes infected?
These are my only qualms about the game, as everything else I liked. I can tell that this was no small project. I have always enjoyed the pandemic series, and I really hope to see more of it!

in terms of graphics, the game went very smoothly and didn't have any problems. However, the lack of music and sound effects made the game feel more like a screen saver.
other than that however, this was a good game!

Firstly, if your not making fun of people who like anime, don't call the flash "Why Anime Sucks". Call it, "why I don't like anime." I noticed people are pissed at that.
Secondly, actually regarding the flash, it could of been a better. Even if you wanted to make it quickly, human voice acting would make it sound better (and possibly help you get your point across more). Also, more than 4 colors would of been nicer.

You miscounted. There are only 3 colors black and white are shades not colors (my 7th grade art teacher told me that)

The graphics looked pretty nice, and game play was pretty smooth. I only have three things to suggest to make it better
1. Sound effects/music would be nice. You don't have to have an orchestra record your music or anything, but at least sounds when you fire would be nice.
2. Make the power-ups a little easier to get. The fly way to low to be gotten unless you happen to be on that side of the screen. Also, since they only showed up every 50-75 kills, the space between getting them was slightly dull
3. Make the game harder. I was able to spam the space bar and not get hurt. Perhaps make the fish move faster or take more damage as you go along?
Hope to see some more work on NG.

I will admit the title had lead me to make some unfair judgments, but this movie was pretty clean compared to some of the stuff on the site. The drawing style was better than I expected. However, you might want to consider using clips of the music next time as opposed to the whole song. "Toxicity" by System of the Down felt a little out of place after he ended up in the room.
i look forward to stuff from you in the future.

The timeless game of boxes and dots, In flash! It was pretty good in terms of looks and running smoothly. However, it was a little...plain. There was no sound, and staring at the same background dampens the playing. You may want to consider being able to change the themes of the background, as well as adding some music. Still, its a good game, and i can't wait for a harder AI.

This game was pretty fun, and we can all get behind the concept of getting rid of annoying carolers. However, the game didn't really get any harder after level 24 or so...in fact, i could safely stop buying any defenses after that. Also, the tree unit was too good of a bargain, it did the most damage for a not so expensive price, so you might want to consider changing that.
All in all, a good game. Your getting better!

"the best animation i have ever seen"
I don't know how long you have worked on the flash, but a really long time seems correct. This was simply the best looking animation I have ever seen on newgrounds, hell, any website.
Also, I didn't even notice the funky voice lines until I read the author comments.
This series has left me in awe...something rarely done. Please, keep up the phenominal work.
