That was one of the most brutally, ridicolously, comically metal things my now-melting eyeballs have ever witnessed. I found this hilarious, especially the singer killing his fans and them being like "YEAH DUDE THATS SO METAL!". The head-banging towers and the whole bloody head-banging planet made me lose it!

That was dope! That open ended finale took my breath away and made it so tragically realistic. Rage against the rich and powerful (and evil) has to be one of the most relatable feels.
The combat scene in the dark was also very clever, letting the viewer fill the gaps with its own imagination (and saving on the animation work lol). No wonder this is the most popular short film!

Quick comment from NGradio. I really liked the sudden shift halfway through, it was really dramatic, made me feel in danger!

That recurring screech was almost unpleasant to hear, like an icy spike going through my ears: that was appropriate within the context of the song.

Unexpected yet lovely mix of genres. The way the piano melody mixes with the retro vibes of the other instruments reminded me of axiom verge, but with a more prominent beat. I also fell in love with those synth strings around 00:30. Good job! :D

OMG I love game mockups! my favourites are the coral monster, the octopus and the big crab. What I really like about the last two is how the charcater design implies interesting game mechanics (I think that units which take up several tiles can lead to interesting strategies), hope to see more of that from you!

Nice work! the only things that bug me are the lack of shading on the gun and the color pallette.
Try using Higher contrast between the two greys on the pants, and shift the hue a little between the two yellows in the shirt (higher contrast there too). After doing this, you could try to replace the black of the inner outlines to a darker shade of the color of that area

EDIT: I see an unhappy reaction. Sorry if it came out as preachy, I didn't mean to discredit your work. Maybe my suggestions dont really fit with what you were going for. I'm gonna add an half star for encouragement
