This was a nice animation and a good song (melodically and lyrically). It was informative without being as crude as most other anti-Scientology videos I have seen.
Your style is so unique to this site; the sepia/silent film haze was wonderful.
The animation itself was so bewilderingly unnerving and macabre, and the stop motion with the nostalgic, eerie music box melody added immensley to that.
All over, it was a wonderful piece; much of my thanks for this.
I agree with the other person; this is a wonderful idea and hope to see more. My only complaint is that you could have really reduced the file size for the music.
Thanks a lot, I do try my best to keep the file size down low. The music isn't that mb consuming, it is basically just the video file. I can obviously reduce the file size by reducing the quality, but then it would look pretty bad.
I am glad you are still posting on Newgrounds (even though I was rather bewildered that you were put in the Salad Fingers collection =/)
The very first few seconds didn't appeal; I think it was due to the eyes and mouth not really fitting in on that scene as well as the slow/deep satanic voice not apt at all, but once you got into it, it was enthrallingly eerie.
The slowness of the song, and the almost noir-esque nostalgia of the old film clips of WWII fit, oddly enough, perfectly. Everything from you tends to be in this desolate feeling world, but the harmonious feel of Christmas, war, and the ghastly features you managed to combined threw me a bit.
I loved your idea for this and your utopian combination of terror and cheer always make me admire your work more.
All the best for another astounding flash from you.

"Bourgeoisie"
Actually, you are correct. Bourgeoisie are considered upper class. They were wealthy as well as held the power to influence art. You can look it up.
Regardless, this was an insightful and well done piece.

Question
I've been panning your music credits, but what is the song that plays during the opening menu?
Oh, thats Loose Nuke Threat. I forgot to add that one last minute. I've used it in past films.

What I've Gathered
Pulmonary Edema: High Infectivity + No Visibility
Otherwise, this is a bloody brilliant game. Much more intricate than the first.

Well
There is no doubt that this was nearly mirroring the original Fishy game... but by far you did not steal it.
I love all of the personal touches you added, like the hook. Gracious, I LOVED the x2 buttons... the fish had a CAPE. <3
You might be amused if you check the profiles of the people who said this is blatently stolen. You might get a kick.
