I make a mix of ambient, industrial, glitch, IDM music. It's intriguing, and I would be happy to answer any questions about any of my music, as well as help aid others learn about sound creation.

Voice acting was quite funny, credits were bomb.
Hope your projects continue in this direction - more cleaned up and professional while maintaining humor.

Your music made a good chunk of the spirit of this game so don't forget to give yourself credit.
Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I'll take it to heart. I will continue to pump out Duder content at increasing quality.

"If your actual age is less then your brain age your mind is in great shape!
If your brain age is older then your actual age, you just need a little work."
So a game about intelligence based off of 3 simple visual/mathematical questions is telling me a contradictory conclusion about my 'brain age'.
While I get this isn't intended to be some scientific work, grammar mistakes and contradicting conclusions look really poor given the context.
The music loops repeat obnoxiously often too.

Score more for the song then the video.
The story boarding works, fullfil it with proper animation, backgrounds and colours, keep things smooth moving, stylized and quick paced, and I would be shocked if this didn't make front page.
As for the song itself, I'm not a big DBZ fan, but this felt like easy to understand, tasteful humor that does not fall into usual gratuitous meme pitfalls.
The singing fits the characters voices, its relatively on pitch, the words are clever, and its just refreshing to see something of this caliber. I hope you maintain this level of work ethic.
I'm pretty stingy when it comes to giving out praise, but I really enjoyed listening to this, and the visual aid did add a little more of an image in my mind.
4/5 7/10
With fulfilled graphics, I'd be giving this full scores.

Audio clips a lot + has white ambient noise.
Animation isn't smooth, doesn't really look like flash, looks like it was an avi imported into flash.
No point, not funny, doesn't reference anything in clever ways, not insightful.
Add some sort of plot and maybe you'll get an improved response.
If you've stated yourself it isn't awesome, why are you bothering putting it up?

Most of this I am sure you are aware of since I played the game for 4 minutes where as you've probably spent hours coding and making graphics. Eithe way, here is what I see as a to do list.
Add sound.
Add music (I'd suggest some sort of minimal stuff and focus on SFX).
Lessen the bullets ray of spray.
A few more meteors, or more resistant meteors. Or just proper enemys.
More funny stuff like space rats.
Make the upgrades have some pretty graphis isntead of circles with letters on the inside.
Include in the interface the level of weapon or upgrades taken in.
Make the background move faster so the illusion of fast movement is more evident.
Some voice acting for the little dialogue bits would really make this cool.
I think this games got a lot of potential, and the feeling I got from seeing it, is that it appears to be serious, but is going to be far from it if you look at the details, which I think could make this a lot of fun.

I am impressed that what I thought was garbage, has proven to only have diminished in its near turd like appearance into something less. Maybe meconium.
You've been getting poor scores for quite some time now.
Pick up something else, animating isn't your thing, infact making funny spam isn't your thing either, I'm not laughing. Go join a cricket team or something.
Or shock us all and make a decent flash.

Reminds me of my grandma, thats how epicly action packed this is.
I was getting crunk to the music, the game was funk spice-ster homo-erotic action that was so deep the titanic was impressed.
The only thing that would make this better is if the stuff your dodging weren't just circles and bars, but something themed, or textured atleast.
And... dawg yo Jindo be pimpin aight aight 13370r for tat0rs.
... Lol internet.

The new microphone was a wise investment, it really raised the quality of the video twofold in my opinion. I noticed a slight improvement in graphics and animations (the few that arepresent) are smoother, which is good.
Jokes and plot are good, I chuckled to myself a few times. Thats good too.
There was a bit of backgrounds music while in Aethalons tree, that added to the atmosphere, it was subtle but a good subtle.
Make sure as you go with these the characters do develop, stagnant characters are boring.
Also given this being about gamers on an island, you've been using some game related humour, tap into this market and keep the gamer jokes coming, becuase their effectively an inside joke that millions of people can get, which from your stand point is viewers, support, and potentially some money from people clicking those damn sponsors.
I'm thinking the replay screen was a bit week, and you could devise either a preloader or main screen that better sells the episodes, something pretty or funny, just something more memorable then what it is now.
Overall, good stuff, I hope the quality of the episodes continue to grow as this one did from the last.

Great idea to promote what is probably the most common music creation software. Whilst your flash skill aren't ridiculous off the charts, the information provided is useful to the new comer. The use of voice is great along with the visuals directly from the program, it helps clarify whats what. I suggest having replay buttons and buttons along the way to step back and forth through your tutorial so people can re-listen and watch certain parts (probably not for step sequencing since its super duper simple, but stuff in the future to come).
When you have a few more made, put links at the end of the flash to your other Ng pages with tuts on them for someone whos using these to learn to navigate quickly.
Overall, good stuff, this made me happy to see. Are the music clips used in this creations of yours?

Not to be a complete jackass or anything, but is playing a game that effectively emulates minimum wage fast food jobs really a *Winning* game idea?
I got tired after the third smoothie or so, this concept is just.. awful.
However, the music is nice, and the graphics are good, and the few effects that are there add nicely to the visual output of this game.
No lag issues for me either which is nice.
Maybe if this was like make food for Jabba the hut, or be eaten yourself, it would have been more fun, and there could be audio featuring him making funny sounds making it vaguely more interesting.
