Catchy music, nice animation, too short.

"...whether it get's blammed or not..."?!

Dude, this animation has absolutely no business getting blammed. It's not an epic or anything, but I am far, far, -far- from resenting you for wasting my time with it.

It really liked the visual style and the music was very appropriate. I believe a short movie with this same style and an actual story would do very well.

Failing a story, you could at least go for a series of consecutive events. Just animating this guy leaving his home, walking through the park for two minutes, with other people doing amusing things in the background, and then having him go back home, all to the same music, would be fun to see. Maybe he's walking his dog, or meeting his girlfriend or something. Make it very basic. Have you seen the Another Day movies, the The_Super_Flash_Brothers? Something like that.

Keep up the good work, man.

well i'm glad you liked it, the reason i put that in the header, is because sometimes you just can't tell who's gonna get to an animation first, and it seems like a lot of people don't like 'em if they're not an epic, but i'm glad i'm getting the response i am :D

Beautiful!

I don't know who Italo Calvino is, I guess I'll have to go look him up. But this game was beautiful and sweet, I enjoyed it very much! It has out standing potential, please consider expanding it. It could use a loading screen, just for polish, and some sort of special "all endings found" screen or event or animation or something. If this is based on a poem or a song, it would be awesome if you could include it in the game somehow, so we'd have the context. Ambient sound effects would be nice too- like the sound of the water.

An Open Letter:

Dear Impossible Quiz Creator

Allow me to give you a bit of advice on this game
The point of the game is of course painfully simple, but
@#% by the time you have used your eyes to read this lovely review, more reviews decrying the difficulty of your game will most likely have appeared on the bottom of the game's page, burying you in shameful chastisement.

Oh, well. It was fun for as long as I could stand it!

Best Wishes,
Stupid Owl OO

p.s. With your talent for confoundment and misdirection, I must wonder whether you hold employment with your country's foreign intelligence service.

Bahaha! Thanks a lot! :p

Hidden Moral: The Macabees were wimps.

I don't know if it has occured to anyone yet, but this game makes the macabees look completely helpless.

Imagine a similar game where unarmed US soldiers march blindly into oncomming Iraqi insurgents, and only the president, operating his super-secret orbital weapons platform, can save them.

It's that, and other aspects of this game- like needing six holy lightning bolts to kill one man- that make it not so much insensitive as stupid. The interface is simple, yet somehow remains counter-intuitive; it took me quite a while to guess what the '5/9' at the bottom meant.

The sound is solid, the graphics are satisfying, the programing adequate- clearly somebody put a lot of work into the game. But as far as gameplay, it's horrible. It should not already feel repetetive on the first level.

You'd be better off just making a Flash clone of Lemmings with new levels.

Books you should read: "Iron John" by Robert Bly; "The Education of Robert Nifkin" by Daniel Pinkwater; "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli; "Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!" by Stephen Manes
