Cheap productions, hilarious when it wants to be, with lots of familiar faces... doth I smelleth awesomeness? Unfortunately, I'm afraid that your game is an acquired taste: the "relationships" with the anime characters, the only point for repeat plays, will only appeal to, naturally, fans of the respective animes. The jokes only Intarnets users will understand. It becomes outstandingly difficult to pass on to CEO. I managed to pass most of the other levels, but got stuck there. I could only pass it with the help of two of your cheats (first daDDY and then kissmequick).
In the end, however, it is a decent-enough game, and it nets you 8 stars and 4 Picos.
Well,

You, my good man, are a strategy-game god in the making. Your gameplay is impeccably engrossing, letting the player develop his/her own strategy and tactics. My favorite is the "Pythagorean" pincer, where I fight two simultaneous fronts... gets the computer every time. The AI is a good challenge, though it's easy to outmaneuver or outwit, perfect for both starters and masters alike.
I find your attention to details beautiful and fun. I noticed that whenenver a battle took place, the area around it seemed to die/become war-torn, with gravestones and green-to-brown ground. Believe me, my friend/anyone playing the game, that makes all the difference in war: EVERYONE becomes affected.
One thing I think the game would need is a compelling story, or anything that takes the customization of the gameplay and perhaps make it aesthetic: naming your capital, your faction, yourself, giving your nation/people a story, etc. Also, campaign modes would be perfect, especially if you model it on real-life locations. And also, engrossing the player more into the battles would be great (if you know Advanced Wars, something along those lines).

While the concept is not very new, you manage to breathe new life into it with all of the great gags and the really frickin' awesome timing behind 'em. Also... It's amazing you actually made Navi so effin' hot! I mean, how did it go from "annoying blue bug-thing" to "holy s***, there's something wrong with my pants!"? And Link is actually so much more likeable now that he's some loser... just like the people who control him! Nah, joking, joking...
But... one question... why are the Gorons MEXICAN?

Seriously, Ego, man, you're either oblivious or just a fucking genius, the way you approach all these videos. Sure, everyone's made all these jokes before and they've talked about it and it's not really that original, blah, blah, blah, but it takes a genius (or an idiot) to actually make it all funny.
The timing is impeccable, the jokes familiar even to the video game n00b, and your animation pretty good for a medium that carries such a bad name. I mean, seriously, Flash has gotta be the crappiest form of software and here we have people making it into something absolutely beautiful.
One love, ma bredren,

"Very interesting, but lacking a cohesive story"
A fantastic defensive strategy game. Can't really complain about the catapult and the resource gathering and the army managing. However, I'd like to point out something that would make it a perfect game: a more detailed story.
I feel like the whole thing is lacking congruence. Sure, you have the attacks, the evil Sauron-esque villain, etc., etc.,, but the people the player controls feel too much like cannon fodder. They have no culture, no mannerisms, and the "religion" is not very well explained.
But believe me, besides the story, the game was absolutely solid.
Truly,
El Texinator

I am drafting a better storyline for the sequel of the game. Back then I didn't intend this game to be a RPG from start, so I didn't consider too much about story but rather spent much time on balance and strategy.

"God, I hate that twinge in my stomach!"
It's what good humor does: it makes you laugh, but it also hurts, really, really bad. I used to be a big fan of Saturday morning cartoons, especially Pokemon. But, looking at this parody, you show people the total contrast they wereto one of the dirtiest and not-for-kids anti-superhero tale; it makes you realize how washed down and cheap they really were. Thank you, Mr. Partridge, for an excellent cartoon!

Con Artists people, you outdo yourselves! This game is one of the most polished and interestingly crafted I've yet seen! A big deviation, too. It's cool you collabed with Armor Games; you two make a great combination. The gameplay was very solid along with the sounds. Although, even though the engine is perfect for WWI, I don't see how it can work for more modern conflicts.
Guess you guys'll have to work out any kinks.
