I'll start off by saying that the art was very good. It was the best part of this flash.
But when you call a flash Saving Private Pikmin, there are certain expectations of it being a parody of both Pikmin and Saving Private Ryan. I kept waiting for even a single Private Ryan reference that never came.
I didn't think the humor was bad, but to me it felt out of place and over the top for a Pikmin parody.
Pikmin are endearing because they are simple, obedient and un-individualistic. This flash just didn't represent them well.
The animation and sound were flawless as have become standard of you, but there was not one funny joke in the entire movie. The parts that weren't self serving praise were almost painful to watch. Occasionally I saw where a joke almost could have been successful, but none hit the mark for me.
You make a ton of awesome flash, but this was not one of them.
It took me several attempts before I even began to understand what was going on. Often I would start and be killed by an explosive crate a second into the game. To make matters worse, you have to go through the whole little story sequence before you can play again. I ended up clicking through the comic more than actually playing the game.
You guys are just asking too much of our reflexes.
Haha sorry for laughing at your misfortune, yeh i am sorry that we set the game to go back to the beginning when you lose(insult to injury)... But thanks for the review we updated it so that no one else will have to endure that story again!
Thanks again! hope you at least thought it was fun
I can't remember the last time I felt so god about beating a game. Nightmare is just that. I lost and restarted a lot. But this game is beatable on the highest difficulty.
The graphics are simple, yet pleasant. The music doesn't stand out but it's not bad. The gameplay is wonderful. There is a bit of a learning curve and I was finding out new things until the end. There are some improvements that could be made, but I like the simplicity of the game.
This is by far my most favorite game on Newgrounds I can't wait until you release something else.
The idea of a dress up game where you can make your own snowman borders on genius in my book. However, there's no variety in the items. There's one hat, one mouth, one nose one set of arms, feet, etc.
Even though it's for kids, I'm not sure it will be enough to hold their attention for even the shortest of spans. One item for each area is simply not enough. I don't remember the last time I saw a dress up game with only one of everything.
The visuals were great, the music was good, even though it did get annoying after a while. Overall, almost everything about this game seemed properly executed, but the lack of any variety is unacceptable in this genre of game.
The game itself is good. But the concept of playing only once is broken. Imagine if every game you played, you could only play once. One game of Madden. One game of Halo. One game of Fable or Call of Duty or Gears of War. One lifetime of the Sims.
There is a reason that there are almost no games that you can only play once. It doesn't work.
If you popped in a game and the first time you died, you found that you could never play it again, you would take it back to the store and demand a refund.
Your game is great, but being only able to play it once sucks.
It's not an avant-garde artistic video game commentary on life.
It's broken. I demand a refund. Give me a copy that works.
It was a really good flash except for that badly drawn flashing penis (which made my head hurt and I think I need to lie down now). It was well animated, audio wasn't bad, and it was funny as hell. I beseech you. Take out that penis frame from the flash, and you'll have something 7 times better.
The only difference between this and the original is the flashing penis that was the joke. I obviously know it would have done better without the flashing penis because the original won a daily portal and a weekly fifth.

Great song, great animation. Fantastic job Weebl and Lobster. You guys are are my favorite artists here on ng. Flashes like this is why.

Decent.
You picked a crappy place to end it though. Ending the flash mid sentence just leaves one wanting to hear what they miss.

Great idea killed by lack of variety.

I added more items to the game! you may have to clear your browsers cache to view the update if you played already.

Not bad.
This flash is nothing too special, but it's good for a couple of laughs.
