I feel attacked. LOL Why was this the last episode of Neurotically Yours to get uploaded to Newgrounds that was from the original series?

Some of the reviews on this page provide way more entertainment and humor than the cartoon I just watched. I love the Neurotically Yours series, but this is one of the worst animations I have ever seen from illwillpress. Literally the first episode of Neurotically Yours had better art and animation than this video, which was made in 2002. wtf?

This is the most 2005 flash movie ever. It is a sprite animation using a song by the creators of South Park and an 8bit remix of the Final Fantasy song made by the Legendary Frog. A lot of the sprites came straight from Fireball20xl. This includes the Tails sprite where he looks high AF from drinking magic koolaid and the Dr. Robotnik sprite that originated in the web comic Ruins of the Fourth Wall. Probably the most iconic sprites used in this animation are the dancing banana sprites. Anyone watching this in 2023 who did not experience the internet in the 2000s is missing a lot of context from what a lot of this animation references.

So why am I only giving this a 4/5? Honestly, my nostalgia for this style of content and its niche references are a huge part of why it's getting more than a 3. I don't find anything in this animation particularly funny or original. There were also other sprite animations from around this era of flash animation that had way more effort put into it. (Example: The Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom animations by Randy Solem.) That said, I do find entertainment in watching this and I watched it four times before making this review. I have never seen it before until today, but it reminds me of an era of the internet that I miss.

Maybe it's because I love the Sonic Advance and Freedom Planet sprites, but I enjoyed this game more than I expected. It's too bad it was never finished, but it's still a fun experience.

I'll give the game props for originality since I've never played anything like this, but I found it really boring. There was only one level that took me a long time to figure out, which was the stage before the three hearts level.

I won't vote low because it is "ever so hard"...

I'll vote low because it's crap. My god, this game is so buggy. That graphics are average. The style is crap. The sound doesn't work half the time but when it does, it's ok but the sound bugs are laughable. It'll start then start then stop ect. That's no excuse. I love how when you jump on an enemy that you'll either die because the game is crap or they'll just some how disappear because the game is crap. The controls are horrid in response so I'll give this a 1 in Interactivity. Humor gets a 10 because I couldn't stop LMAO while playing this peace of crap. The last boss was so poorly made it was laughable as well. Overall, don't waste my time with this crap.

10/14/2018 Update:
Back when I rarely ever listened to music, I gave this song a 10/10 because I found it entertaining. Now as a 28 year old adult, I find it amusingly terrible. A bit sad it got so few reviews that it doesn't even have a score after 13 years.

Original review from August 3, 2005:
Great job on this!

This was entertaninig me like crap. It has such an upbeat tune that I've been listening to it for a while now. Great job!

-Mr. W.A.C. "Great job!"

You did a fantastic job capturing those characters in pixel art.

This looks nice, but the Link sprite looks nearly identical to one of the Nintendo Gigaleaks sprites.

This looks really nice. I hope it gets front page treatment because this pixel art is extremely underrated. It deserves way more views. My only suggestion is to include more tags to increase exposure.
