"Orphenominal"

submission: Don't Look Back

The interpretations of the plot are fun, but this is definitely an adaptation of the story of Orpheus, who tried to bring his deceased wife back from Hades. He was allowed to bring her back under one condition: he had to trust that she was following him and therefore could not look back to check if she was following him out of Hell. The tragedy is that he makes it so far that he can see the sun, but then can't help himself and looks back, only to see his love falling back into the shadows of Hades. Later in life, he gets his head torn off.

Basically, I love that you adapted the story of Orpheus into a video game, especially one with such a novel combination of action (part one) and puzzle (part two). Cool beans all the way.

"Amazin'"

submission: Radiohead - Creep

Such an intricate flash. I love it! Love the song, too, though the undubbed "very" version is better :P Great animation, though; that's what's important here! Loved the character design and the style of the animation. Awesomeness.

"Great Work!"

Major props for the well-worded disclaimer at the beginning. I'm not Muslim, but I appreciate that someone out there is smart enough to make the joke, but still understand that it can be offensive. On that note, I did play as Muhammed and totally kicked ass. Fun little game with some great artwork. Hopefully someone out there takes the FLA and makes it a little more complex.
