1st: 3/3
What do you get when you cross The Witcher with The Wiggles?
ANSWER: A real bloody bang of a job by the Internet's favourite Aussie greaseball. No, not that one.
The actual short is 2 and a half minutes long: The rest is credits + original drawings of Patreon supporters.
Great job!
2nd: 3/3
This is a pro-Palestine animated short. It's a team-effort that uses a mix of 2D and 3D elements.
Politics aside, I love how Biden had to be turned around by a barrel of oil so he doesn't throw the grenade at the nukes and tanks.
PS: I gave it 4 stars.
3rd: 2/3
Graphics are nice, and a few different people designed some levels. However, it's a bit of an odd choice to make SHIFT auto-retry the level, especially when it's so close to the Z and X keys, where you might hit it by accident.
It also took a bit of time to load.
4th: 3/3
3rd episode of the series "Falling Upward". I hadn't watched the other two, but I still get where they're going with this:
Some of the shots seem a little rough and unpolished, but otherwise it's a good effort from a great team.
5th: 2/3
This is a ~7 minute Runescape parody that took over a year to animate, presumably in between other projects.
Backgrounds and VFX definitely need some improvement. A lot of things looks unpolished compared to the main character. It makes the whole thing look inconsistent. Otherwise it's a very enjoyable animation.
Overall, it all looks great. Nuff said.
Total Score: 13/15 (84%)
Best/Favourite:
#1, #4, #2, #5, #3, in that order:

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're looking to really get tighter with each episode, experimenting with new stuff here and there. We loved making this one!
