Really great job with the art and story telling. It's a really great way of showing how we should appreciate and utilize knowledge bestowed upon us. This animation is pretty much the best animation I've ever seen made to be a reading incentive.
I liked the theme of divine intervention to save a primitive civilization and how this species grows reliant on a higher power for progress. I'm sort of working on flash animation and literature as well in college and THIS would be a great combination of both of those things.
How you draw creativity for a piece of techno loop is beyond me, once again. You're always surprising me, Lobster man. I think it would have went really nicely if you did have lyrics to go along with the video. And to think that the story of the video only happens because someone wanted donuts?
I'm not sure if this was against what you needed to do, but I think a few sound effects for the animation wouldn't hurt and would help with some of the comedic content of the video.
Love your style of animation, and sweet JESUS your voice. I don't think your animation style is a copy of any other animator's but simply unique to your own. I took a look at some of your older animations and I think you're building up nicely.
Also, congratulations on getting front page for 4 of your animations over 2 weeks. Which seems rather SUSPICIOUS.. :3
Played this long ago in 2009, recently came across this again through a friend. I'm a litle sad that you haven't released the sequel yet as I looked forward to it very much.
The game is really smooth and has a good story. Very simple in terms of tasks but the game seems to have a much deeper story.. maybe you'll cover that when you release the sequel!
I think that your song choice was perfect as you orchestrated this piece of art really well. Your art style looks really good, could use work on adding detail to background and some additional animation when the character stands still though.
Oh, and maybe the parts where you see the Earth spinning, you could work on the depth. When I watch that I feel as if the countries are the ones moving, not the Earth spinning. o_e
Hey, this was really good. I liked your art-style as well as the soundtrack for this game. A really great version of those I-Spy games which I remembered playing as a kid, especially with parts where angle becomes an advantage or disadvantage. Good 3D layering work there, buddy. Oh, did I mention that the best part was that there's a storyline?
A good switch of the lyrics from Hakuna Matata. I like how music was maintained throughout the entire video. Also, was the easter egg The Doctor among the pile of bodies? :p
Wow, I thought Pleasure Island was the weirdest thing Sexual Lobster could come up with but this tops it all. What were you and your friends smoking, omg. I'm just gonna go and give this 8/10 because the people who rated this 10 have a twisted sense of humor or just went "omg, so random XD XD 1010!"
I like how you turned a barricade defense game into this exploring RPG game with melee weapons as well. Nice how it's like Fallout with all kinds of junk lying around with a bunch of weapons and food found in spaces.
I'm just a little confused as to how the lockpick system is used here. Whenever I press D, the pin doesn't stay in place as it should. Anyways, great work on the series! I'm not finished with the game yet, but I'll get there sooner or later. n__n

It's great to see that you recognize its educational potential, I aimed for that all along. Thank you very much for your comment!

At least it wasn't an arrow.
Jk about that bit on top. This was a great video, as usual. Egoraptor's art style of drawing ridiculous faces and his voice always gets to me.
