"Again...worth the wait."

submission: Super Mario bros Z ep.8

date: October 21, 2009

I haven't done anything on Newgrounds in forever, but when I heard that Alvin released Episode 8, I decided to make a comeback. And lemme just say, Alvin outdid himself once again. With each new episode, he seems to be learning more about quality animating: the artwork for the upclose facial expressions are nice, love the 3D Bowser Doomship, and the battles are CRAZIER THAN EVER. I guess it's too bad most of the battles prior to this episode were all Mario and the gang vs. Mecha Sonic, the Koopa Bros, the Axem Rangers, all 4 vs 4 or 4 vs 1, small scale battles...now you've got Mario and the gang vs. Bowser's army, and Alvin did so much more with that. This episode gave us a chance to see what Alvin can really do, and I must say...I'm beyond impressed.

It's no wonder why these take Alvin a year or longer to finish...it's one guy doing all this and his normal life. If Alvin ever plans on making a living off this stuff, or move on to better things that involve this same style of animation, he's gonna do just fine.

At any rate, 10 stars, 5 rating, and keep up the great work, Alvin.

"In a Nutshell: Mario on the PC"

submission: Mario Forever Flash

date: February 17, 2009

In my opinion, this is about as close to the original Mario game for the PC as you're gonna get.
I wanna see more Mario games like this...SMB 2, 3, Super Mario World.
This is great. Thank you very much!
5/5 10/10

"One of the best new puzzle games!"

submission: Shape Switcher

date: December 19, 2008

It's amazing what comes through the Portal somedays. You definetely should've made this game longer, because this is one of the best maze-based puzzle
games I've seen in awhile, hands down. This game really encourages you to
think ahead, and the level designs are genius and sometimes confusing
enough to be challenging. 10/10 5/5

"Long time no review...."

submission: Speedbreaker - F-777

date: December 15, 2008

Hey, Jesse. I've forgotten how much I've enjoyed your stuff...I haven't been on the audio portal in over half a year, and I find this....I miss reviewing your stuff.

It's been awhile since I've heard you do something really fast, but it was well worth the wait. This stuff is intense. 5/5, 10/10, no questions asked. Now I'm gonna go review all your other new stuff.

"F-777 delivers once again!"

submission: "Flying Away" - F-777

date: May 12, 2008

Once again, F-777, you have proven yourself to be one on the top notch techno artists in the Audio Portal, in my opinion. Although this one was a little slower paced than what I'm used to, it's still worthy of my 5's and 10's. Keep cranking out the tunes!
