The Last Stand Union City
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars October 4, 2011
Fun but some annoying bugs
Great game, love the depth. My only problem is that on the third map in the apartments, some zombies dropped in and midway through the fight I could no longer move or attack, and neither could my companion. Kind of an annoying way to die!

Great but...
Very original concept, great fun. There are a few problems you need to clean up though to refine the game sufficiently. One problem is the way the mouse handles the cursor when it exits the window - it sort of goes dead in the water and throws you off a bit.
The next might be a limitation of flash, but sometimes I'll find that I move over a number too quickly. I'll see a line right through the middle of the number, but it didn't register so i need to draw it again.
The last problem is something very simple to fix, and it's the fact that you cant change the graphic quality until the game already starts. I will lose time switching the quality no matter what, and it takes away my opportunity to prepare for the start of the game.

Great
It's a simple game, but that makes it addictive. Good enough to illicit hours of play from me.

Slow
I really wanted to like this one. The concept is pretty good, the music is good, the art is top notch. There are a lot of major problems though, not the least of which is the writing. The whole thing is very slow, the dialog doesn't feel natural, much of the voice acting is bad, and there's an absurd amount of filler.
You need to pick up the pace. We don't need a robot bird giving a 30 minute speech, if you must have the character trim his part down and use a faster (and intelligible) voice. We don't need such a completely uneventful traveling scene. The people reading the lines really should practice them much more (Bubsy and the woman were pretty well done), so the delivery is snappier and doesn't feel so strained. If this is supposed to be a comedy (I really can't tell), your writer needs better material.
You have something with potential on your hands, and with some (admittedly large) improvements we could see something genuinely masterful.
From the beginning, I've said that this is an adventure series. You are watching a journalist on the trail of mascots. It's tongue-in-cheek adventure. Think of Scream. That was tongue-in-cheek thriller. Most people dont realize it was a great comedy, because they think comedy must make you laugh nonstop.
But that's not the goal with that movie. And it's not the goal with my series. Im telling a story...which also happens to poke fun at saturday morning toons of the 80's. That includes cheesy dialog and what appears to be "bad acting." It's part of the package, my friend.

Dr. Steel!
You have made me a very happy man. Awhile back I got a glimpse of Doctor Steel, and have been trying to find out more of him ever since. However, I had the misfortune of mishearing his name, so this entire time I've been searching for Doctor Steve. Then you come along and set me straight with a really well done animation, and the world is right again. Thank you.
I am glad to set a fellow Toy Soldier straight. I hope you become as happily brainwashed as I.
To World Domination and future obsessions!

Good, but your sad needs work
Pretty clean animation, and although the style obviously isn't original it's done well. I found it amusing and I actually laughed once.
However, you need to normalise the volume. In the middle of the thing the sound drops down to near silence. Van Helthing's voice is almost impossible to hear, and everything after that point is just lower. Just make all the sound hearable at the same volume level.
