I generally save my high scores for more expansive games. This one was good for what was there, though. Haven't seen this style of strategy-puzzle game before. Always nice to have something new to play around with. Clean looking game throughout. Sound was sufficient. It was kinda funny to hear Robot Rock kick in when I won. So in love with that CD right now.
Always a fan. Looking forward to more.

A vast improvement on your old stuff, I think it's safe to say. I like the predominance of frame by frame, although there were a couple of points where the entire body was noticeably tweened. It's a nice way of filling in subtle movements, yeah, but one must be careful not to take it to excess. Could have been longer, but given the work and constant action, that would be a marathon effort, so max grats, all the same. Looking forward to your later work.

I noticed the name DanAbnormal on the portal and wondered if it was a Blur reference. With the Best-Of styled avatar of yourself, and Blur under your favorite bands, I figured so. Then, looking at the dropdown of your other movies, I saw Intermission and thought it might use Blur's tune of the same name. Sure enough. As one of Blur's few non-lyrical songs, it inspired me to animate as well, though I hadn't actually put together any sort of plan as to how to use it. Just that it would have to get gradually more frantic as the song does. This is obviously the same mindset you had, and it was carried out fairly well. A little more variety would have been nice, but meh.
Kind of a coincidence, I was listening to Resigned, off of the same album when I came across this.

With a name with FameByFrame, there's a definite implication that I'm going to see some nice frame by frame work. No sir. Ugly tweens. It isn't bad, but your alias is verrry misleading. Some of the sounds in the animation were also really shrill and loud compared to everything else. Should try to normalize your sounds to a similar volume. At any rate, there's some potential here. Just try to move away from cliches and perhaps develop of frame by frame style and live up to the expectations brought forth by your name.

Fun concept, smooth animation, nice style. I like it. If it were longer and more involved, I'd give a 9 or a 10. After a long busy streak, it's nice to see you producing Flash for Newgrounds again. Sorry I haven't been terribly active on the forums, but I'm still caught up in mine. Also, half my computer melted. I'll be around again soon.

The humour was fresh, that's what I liked most about it. It was nice how the music and color choice juxtaposed against the style of humour. The only thing I would suggest changing is the lack of a preloader and play button.

"It takes a lot to override my bias against 3-D"
But you've done it, Marco ;) As I've said throughout beta viewing, this is indeed one of the best of its kind, if not the definitive best 3-D graphics Flash on Newgrounds. Much attention to detail (few will notice things like the rain on the roof :P). And Ice Wolf did great with the voices, as per usual. All the work will hopefully pay off for you.

I've been seeing screenies of this for a while. I had all but forgotten about it since I hadn't heard anything in so long. I also haven't seen you OR gel around the forums much lately, though I'll be the first to admit that I've been away for days at a time, myself. Good to see that you guys are still working away though. A well put together animation.

Well, you already know I think everyone's contributions were smooth and fun. Sorry I wasn't able to make that preloader pong in time. It was just such short notice on an already busy weekend. The submission is solid all the same. Looking forward to future installments :D

Good to see that communal account being put to use. This is a nice smooth interaction too. Lots of stuff to choose, all pretty funny and crisply drawn. Nice.
