Okay. Let me first state that the game is a lot of fun, I enjoyed it.
Now, for me getting into you on bad things...
First of, let me state, by watching this game, I've realized that it is not a game of physics. You've included just one aspect of the physics that should be here- pulling. By adding more struts (girders, whatever you may call them) more and more weight is added to the frame. While this part, in and of it's self, is correct, one part is not. The struts should be strong enough to push back against that weight, and in this game, they do not. You could have 50,000 struts holding up, but you would have the same effect as 8 or 9 doing the same job.
The problem with this missing facet is that it breaks down into one thing. You (the player) cannot deviate from what you (the creator) have designed for the player as intended for him to do. Thusly, it does not come down any skill or strategy to get a high score, but it comes down to whom can figure out best what you have laid out for us to do.
Right now, it's like a maze with one path to the ending. In the future, I'd like to see a lot more paths and a much more flushed-out and perfected physics engine that supports not only pulling and weight, but pushing and structural strengths.
Still gave you a five. ^^ Keep your spirit up.

That is not actually true. There is no correct way to build a tower, or at least if there is, I haven't figured it out myself yet, because I can't touch the highscores.
This issue with the physics engine I'll explain here. The pylons themselves do not actually have weight, but rather the bolts do. If you think about that, it should explain a few of the flaws you've pointed out.
Accurate physics simulations of this proportion in Actionscript2 are not really viable, and I'm going for fun over true-to-life representation. If I ramp it up to real world speed, for example, it will be nearly impossible to build a tower.

Well, the whole thing is that there isn't a whole lot of attacks. For a Fury Warrior, I should be able to, you know, change to Berzerker stance, use Blood Fury, Charge, Sunder Armor, ect. But. I can't. I got all this rage, and all I can do is two attacks. Normal and Heroic Strike. Feh, I say! Feh! I absolutely demand you make a second game and involve, not only more attacks, but if you have some time on your hands, more classes.
And one last thing. Since when did the Horde have hot human females? I demand that my hot chars stay on Alliance!
=3 Thanks for the good game.
P.S. I play WoW a lot. 2 chars:
Toyotomi, Lv. 70 Undead Rogue on Mal'ganis
Sauska, Lv. 66 Human Paladin on BlackDragonflight
So, I know a little bit!
Author's Response:
Human females? There aren't any humans in the game. There are a few hot female gnomes, though.
The third game will feature more variety in attacks, don't worry.

I really didn't know how to rate this one. While I didn't find it particularly humorous in my own tastes, I could see how others would. It was well put together and well thought out, with excellent timing, though I just couldn't bring myself to like it just that much more.
A word of useless advice: Next time, try and use more jokes that don't revolve around violence to not only attract younger and more sheltered audience, but also to give yourself a better rounded basin of jokes to work from.

Wow. You did an excellent job! For your first submission, this was far, far above par. I'm really glad to have an artist like you join Newgrounds!
Three Words! Make. More. Flashes!
Just one, thing.
Why's Naruto a Kitsune-boy? Not that I don't like it. ^^

I'm glad I get first review on such a good animation.
Good story line set up, I REALLY can't wait to see more. Hurry up and make your next one!
Author's Response:
Congrats on first review :D!
I'm glad the storyline has you interested, considering I haven't revealed enough yet. Don't worry, the next one is well on it's way!

-Pouts- Okay, GKG, you're making Shadow sad...
Where's Genocide? Why this new, awe inspiring trailer?
So. Let's review. Genocide 1 isn't out, and now, you slap me in the face with another flash that I can't wait for...
You're breaking me heart, Gate. You're breaking my heart...
Anyway, onto this new flash.
Bad Points:
Some spots in the animation, I tilt me head and look at it, noting that it looks like it's far from up to par with the rest of the animation.
Still. No. Voice. Acting. GKG? What's the matter? There's a wealth of good, free voice actors out there for you to use. Heck, I could find you some!
Good Points:
The animation is well drawn throughout most of the movie.
It's so darn well put together. I swear, it looks like a professional moive maker did it! (Now if you could get that guy that does the voice in commericals..)
Up to date, you've always been improving on your skills, and this flash in far from an exception.
Work hard, don't forget to play and not get burnt out! ^^

Forest children, due sometime in 2009. :B
Dark Angel is being animated little by litte as the school year approaches, still making little progress... but it's getting there.
My boyfriend has been taking up most of my animating time, but I don't mind XD
Ah well. x3
Genocide is being re-hashed anyway. Gonna have a deeper storyline and darker characters. Lotso blood and splitting of veins :D
Have fun waiting

Okay. So you've done both really well, and really poorly.
We're going to play a little game that I like to call 'Compliment Sandwhich.' I'm going to say something you've done well, then I'm going to say something you've done wrong, but then come back right to the good.
Good: You did draw the characters quite well.
Bad: You got lazy and sloppy in the running and throwing scene. While you worked hard on parts that were three or four frames long, when it got more than that, you drew very sloppily.
Good: For your first submission you did rather well when gauged against most others.
For your first submission: B-
Overall: D
Here's what I'd like to see from you. I want you to go back and relook at this submission. Redo it, draw more frames for the animations, and cleaning it all up. The humor's fine (but have him shoot Gannondorf with an arrow instead- just makes more sense.) so, keep that up.
Get the drawings down, and then you'll be in the A range. Hell. You might even make front page!
(PS, this post has exactly the total number of 3000 characters used in writing this review. Enjoy!)

God, I hate you Arven. Do us all a favor and take your own life before critizing another's death, alright, duche bag?
Anyway.
The animation was smooth and well done, with just enough to keep it varied. You come across quite well with the story, I almost feel like I know Elle. Hopefully, she knows what you did.

You guys are actually pretty good actors. Ever take acting classes.
Ontop of that, you've got a lot of athletisim, throwing your bodies around like that. It's almost hard to tell you're not hitting one another.
Don't let anyone balk at you about it not being a flash. You still had to do all the normal editing and what not. If Knox can do Clay, you can do people.
The only problem that I found was that it was severely short, just over the timelimit to qualify as a movie.
So, thanks for making a movie that reminds me of Super Troopers. I'll be looking for more of yours! ^,^
