To be honest, I’ve never really been a fan of traditional anime. The only anime I’ve ever really gotten into was stuff like Pokémon and Yo-Kai Watch, and I never really have been interested in anything else.
But I can confidently say that this is absolute fucking peak! You took what could be a generic anime show and gave it your own spins and flair to it that had me invested! Even with how short this cartoon is it captivated me the whole way through!!
For some time now I’ve only really know you as “the clussy guy” (because of that ace attorney cartoon you made), but this made me realize how much potential you have as an animator and storywriter!!
I dont know if this will spawn a series, but I would absolutely be hooked if it did!! I’m looking forward to what you do with this world in the future!!

I now legitimately want a WarioWare-Newgrounds crossover game, this shit rocks

This is definetely one of the better animations I've seen on this site! The story somehow manages to have a perfect balance hilarity and seriousness, something I rarely ever see done correctly! And the art style, man, the art in this animation makes it feel like an old mid-90's action cartoon! (and the commercial break made it feel all the more authentic :D) Overall, amazing plot, great asthetic, short, sweet, doesn't overstay its welcome and leaves me wanting more!! Incredible work, I can see why this was frontpaged!

It's been a hot minute since I've written an overly wrong and critical review of a game on here, so I'm gonna give a good long rant about this game.

Overall, I would say this is a very fun little experience! Would definitely recommend to others to give it a try.

The gimmick of having to constantly keep a slowly dwindling resource in check is surprisingly not a gimmick I've seen in a lot of platformers, which is kinda a surprise given how much you could do with that concept.. And in this game I would say it's both well excecuted and matches the games overall themes very well!

The movement is very floaty for no real reason, but i do think that works to the games advantage, because it still plays smooth. Once you get the hang of it blazing through the stages becomes incredibly satisfying, which is the highest praise i can give a platformer!

As for the boss, I will say I have a few grievences here and there. It doesn't ruin the game by any means, but I still have some things to say.
I thought that the fireballs were waaaay to tightly packed to consistantly avoid. Given your lack of movement options avoiding the attacks made the fight kind of a chore...
That is, until I found out that you could safely be ON TOP OF THE BOSS without any penalty, which is kinda weird? Like, in other games getting that close to a boss would result in damage.
And DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'm GLAD it doesn't, but when I found that out, it sort of trivialized the boss for me. Definitely needs a bit more work.

In summary, I think there is potential here. But in order for that potential to be realized, I'd like to see two things: One, a more expansive and fluid moveset. A platform fighter kind of moveset for a game like this would work WONDERS in making this game a HELL of a lot smoother. And two, more open-ended and complex stages. Those two things would make this a damn JUICY experience. It would be one of those games that you could play FOREVER, because it just FEELS so good! With those elements I would definetly readily pay money for this game. I'd love to see a full retail release some day.

SAY IT WITH ME

I spent three hours trying to see if I could beat the game without any timers.

Turns out, it’s possible.

It’s an incredibly tight squeeze, but it’s possible.
