It's very refreshing to see this kind of abstract / creative / repulsive kind of animation on the front page of newgrounds. It really deserves a spot up here. While the story certainly is... interesting, it's nothing new- but what really draws me to this animation is your use of different textures, materials, and drawing mediums. I'm under the impression that you may all of this from scratch, and if not, it still was executed well. Great use of sculpture, crayon drawings, collage and old skool flash drawings to put this together.
Downsides for me are some of the sound effects. I'de like more of them- (although I think the triangle god's voice was pretty spot on.) I would have liked this to be longer and while maybe not having a linear plot, or a plot at all, more suggestion and development. Maybe asking too much? Either way, solid piece. No problem giving this in the upper range, strong 8.
Very nice short, I think mantis0702 had some great suggestions that you should consider. I'de also like to mention that you did a good work on the sound; especially when the snowman eats sound. Awesome illustration, keep it up!
Like usually, great production value. The humor / plot of this awesome series fell short, I think. Definitely not great, but definitely not bad. Enjoyable. Compared to the other animations in the series? Like a bowl of unsalted oatmeal compared to an Ihop pancake XXX delux.
I got pulled into this game quick, and unfortunately my expectations for the game were a higher than what it could deliver. It was very fun but the game was far too short, lacked dynamic levels, and the power-ups were far too limited. If this were a demo version of the full game, or a sneak-preview I would be fine. I'de love to see this game reworked so that it is longer with a wider array of power-ups and building/enemy types.
Overall, VERY FUN! Please expand / keep making games.
Loved the game- played it all the way through. I loved the boss levels especially. I hope if you decide to make V you will have more bosses and maybe more upgrades. They make the game the most fun for sure.
This game has good potential, however there are a few key elements that it is missing for me to consider it an enjoyable game. One example that comes to mind is picking up coins. When I roll over a coin I am unsure if I got it, so I tend to renavigate to try to get it (since I assumed I missed it) and usually end up dieing when I try to get it the second time. A simple way to fix this is by adding a coin sound effect, or small animation that lets me know I got it /right away/ to avoid confusion. Simple additions like this would make the game a great deal stronger.

Excellent Flash.
Once again, a great Co-op flash. My favorite was by far "SNAKE, MY PEBBLES!". Haha! Great work everyone.
Egoraptor- love your stuff but I was a bit underwhelmed by your section in this. Oh well!

Keep it up.

Anyway, keep up the great work, can't wait for V!

Length...
I don't mind the poor graphic quality of the flash, honestly. However, it bothers me how short the video is, and how it lacked any interesting plot.
I would've made it longer but that was the whole piece of music. Thanks for the advice and review though.
