Wow... very well done on synching the amusing dubs.
While the voices weren't at all what I was expecting the whole thing altogether was very amusing... Great job.. :)

I can understand what you're trying to do here. Overall it's a positive message of finding alternative energy sources, but your portrayal of the US. vs Europe and the facts provided is somewhat one-sided.
For starters you provided seperate information for each country. Germany this much. France this much. BUT YOU FAILED to mention that the US is larger than those countries mentioned COMBINED. It's hardly a fair comparison.
You also didn't comment on the several different US organizations already tryin' to promote and implement these changes. Perhaps you should provide links to those sources instead of just saying, "PLZ hALP t3h 3aRTHS, K?"
But other than that I DO WHOLY appreciate the effort you took in making this and trying to promote the message... so...

For the competition that I entered this in before, I needed to compare two communities, and Europe and the US, were the one's I chose. If you read the conclusion, I simply state that the European Union (various countries) are each doing good things, and that we can learn from them, not that we are not doing anything to prevent pollution. If you want the links, I'll put them in at the end...

While probably not to the tastes of everyone, I did find this animation rather humorous. Some snappy one liners and just amusing subject matter in general helped keep this movie alive, despite the so-so animation, although the static outline was a neat effect. Overall I think it's deserving of some recognition.

Dude, I don't know if you ment to, but that first comment about taste, dealing with a flash about swallowing sperm... pure gold!

I decided to go ahead and give this game a chance, as per your suggestion. And you were correct, it did take a significant amount of tries to get the hang of it, but eventually I did, and have grown quite wealthy simply by letting my assets grow while browsing the internet, then returning to restructure.
The overall game mechanics work well enough, though can get irritating if you build tall structures up front like hotels, making it troublsome to demolish and rebuild other structures. The whole game is amusing, but there appears to be no conclusion. Also, the wars improve population, but what exactly does the populous do? Does it affect income/food production rates? The whole thing feels kind of unfinished, a graphic number crunching game, but it did hold my attention for quite some time.
Improve upon the graphics (perhaps simple .jpeg's?, make the build icon appear as the first layer above other structure, give war a purpose and the option to have more building slots, and you may just have something here. But as a first attempt, you did an excellent job.
Author's Response:
Oh no!
Ok, look into this about wars:
Population increase
a) Demands more food
b) Increases tax income
c) Allows for a large icon
The part about the buildings overlapping was solved already by the zone map.
You should read the instructions, if you did, I'm sorry. I encourage EVERYONE to read the instructions.
Thanks for the pretty good review, though.
