Hmph...I guess I'll have to work extra these days...
1st hoax:
1. Sonic looks NOTHING like the rest of the characters. -3
2. Sonic looks about twice as dithered as the others. I know the original pic was dithered but this is JUST TOO MUCH! -2
3. Everyone's driving. Sonic isn't. -3
You might think I'm being rough, but these points really make or break a hoax. 2/10. At least you're not in the negatives, which shows some hope.
2nd hoax: Same as above, just replace Sonic with Knuckles.
3rd hoax:
1. Dither, dither, dither. Even more dither than normal! It's like you saved a JPG as a JPG. -2
2. Remove border! -1
3. No lives icon. -1
4. No flicky icons. -1
5. Water is NEVER a perfect square. And, if it is, then you missed a bit in the upper-left corner. -1
6. Middle of lake looks like crape. Not dithering, this is source failure. -1
3/10. Showing a bit more hope, but still sucking.
4th hoax:
1. Idea done before, if not, correct me. -2
Otherwise, great! No dither, no nothing. See, THIS is how you make a hoax. 8/10. If not already done, then a perfect 10/10.
5th hoax:
1. Totally wrong screen size. -2
2. DITHER, the revenge. Once again, ESPECIALLY bad. -2
3. Little dither squares around a bunch of stuff. -2
4/10. Know what? Save as PNG, and do Genesis hoaxes. They seem to turn out good for you.
