Not that good to be honest, too slow, and too many different pictures flashing at you at the same time. Also you did the very last part just a little fast, I'm not a speedreader afterall.

Well it was better than corporate puppet that's for sure, I notice you have a very surreal way of doing your flashes which seems artistic and mysterious, and in a way I kind of like it, but in a way it is annoying, I'm just stuck somewhere between. Anyways all in all the flash was pretty decent, the music was actually picked well this time, but it was just too dang confusing, wtf was going on?? Anyways, this was better than corporate puppet but still needs work...

I actually really like this one (after wathcing it for the third time) for its absolutely stunning scenery, the visual and nature effects are amazing. You put a lot of work into everything from the rain and the waterfall, to more subtle visuals like the king's reflection on the window, that's what I love about this one. What I regret is that you seem to stray away from this in the next two, why abandon the hard work you put into scenery, that was like one of the best things about this flash.
The only complains about this one though are poor sound quality (it was very hard to understand characters once or twice) and misspelled captions, but that was pretty funny. Overall (as always) very welldone.

This game was great...just a few bugs seem to exist and need to be worked out...but then maybe it's my computer I dunno.

kinda boring, graphics were cheesy, character was just plain ugly, and the fighting was way too slow. Better luck next time.

It did kind of appeal to me, definately good for an introduction, you did very well on explaining the history and showing cool scenes to go with it...good job.

I hated the music selection and I didn't like how you didn't really show anything blowing up, like I wanted to the zerg get killed and the ships blow up but everytime something was destroyed you changed scenes or incorporated a bright light to cover it up, this seemed like a cop-out on making what could've been some cool animation. I also couldn't really follow the plot very well, what happened? The zerg wanted to infest some beast so now they have to help protoss destroy it?? am I right? anyways other than that it was pretty good...
Author's Response:
Yea that's what happened - the zerg managed too.
I mean to get a newer version of flash so I can do better special effects, blurs and things - at the moment MX is a bit limiting and that's evident in this one, something I mean to work on.
