This is a very clever idea, however, the execution of the idea could be improved upon greatly. For one thing none of the samples go together at all. It just sounds gross in any combination. Secondly it looks pretty boring with minimal colors and a white background. Lastly there is no interaction so this could hardly be called a game.
Overall though, I'm pretty curious to see which direction you choose to take this idea and if it spawns any other similar ones.
I've enjoyed this series thus far and have great anticipation to start on episode three. The visuals, sound effects, voice acting, music, and gameplay were all extremely well done and well thought out. Overall I enjoyed this game very much. The only drawback is that it was too short! I wanted it to last hours rather than minutes!
Also, was the, "He should have taken the stairs." a quote from the movie Revolver? If so I like this author all the more.
This flash is pretty well written, had a small but good selection of music, and was overall enjoyable. On the other hand the lack of a loading bar for a 8.5MB flash was kind of annoying, and when Master Chief appears the noise is too loud. Those are pretty minor cons and can be fixed easily.
For next time I would suggest making the visuals a little more diverse (use hand gestures and different camera angles etc), and just keep on practicing your voice acting (it was a little dry this time around).
But overall I say great job on your first flash, I'm a sucker for Nintendo nostalgia.
Yeah, I'll agree with you that the jumping is a little delayed. Since it's delayed, it leaves time for the jumping animation. Maybe it's a little too much time though.
The animation was great and kept my undivided attention throughout the entire video. The voice overs and sound effects were perfectly clear and in no way awkward or out of place. The voice it self was a great fit with funny dialogue. A great tribute to Wind Waker and Zelda in general!
I think I enjoyed this video even more because I've been playing through Wind Waker and got the pig pissed off at me just the other day. lol
It's a misconception by many people that a person's IQ measures how smart they are, but this is not true, it basically really measures a person's ability to learn. In fact, no person has any set, or single for that matter, IQ
Commonly found online IQ tests are NOT accurate, including this one, and will never match ones taken taken in person with a psychologist such as the standard adult WAIS III or IV IQ tests. There's just so much more to it then answering a handful of questions.
But with all that said I found this flash to be interesting and amusing. Right now I'm spending time answering the questions in different ways to see how it affects the score. I give this flash a 3\5 and 7\10
It's an ok arcade game. The only things that are there to complain about are that the story at the beginning was oddly written and you fail every wave no matter what. Other than these two things the game was pretty amusing.
The game would be well made and fun if it were not for the horrible hit detection on the sides of objects. For instance a lot of the time when you try to jump onto an adjacent platform half of your body will fall right through it if you don't land on it perfectly. Another example is if you jump up onto a platform above you and the platform is just high enough for you to make it onto it you will be standing on it but half of your body will actually be inside of it.
The music is also incredibly annoying, it was giving me a headache within the first three minutes of having to listen to it, I had to turn my volume down just to tolerate the game at all.

Seems to Have Good Potential
The visuals were decent and the music was nice, but my only complaint is that the controls were really clunky and delayed.
