Either I've missed it or there isn't a proper explanation of the various placeable objects. The basic function is obvious, but not the exact range, etc (maybe you could add a tutorial at the beginning?) I think the player should be able to decide when the little guy starts to move. I wasn't able to place objects while the guy is inside a cannon which would be a handy feature. The animation when he's shot out of the cannons is way too slow.
Otherwise it's a decent design, it's just the slow pace and the lack of music that make the experience a bit boring.

I really dig the overall concept, it's something I haven't seen before. A few ideas I had to make people play it longer: More backgrounds and a new song for each stage (NG has plenty of music). COMBOS - the game realy needs something like this - the more bugs in 1 web, the higher the bonus score. Power ups: such as a bigger web, multiple webs over a period of time or immortal spider, you know, the usual. The bug models could deal with looking more distinct and, well, better.
Okay, these are my thoughts, I hope you'll keep developing the game because I really like the idea.

You did a great job on the lip synching. The various facial expressions are well chosen too and complement the lyrics. Unfortunately, it's not too exciting to watch a guy just standing there and singing for ~3 minutes, it really gets lengthy towards the end. People want action!
However, you did a great job on what's there.

Thanks. This is my first time making a flash... period. I appreciate the comments though! This was more a less an experiment for what I'll be working on later on.

As Shanus said, the animations look rather simple and need some work - for instance I could'nt tell what that thing was until fire burst out of it (rocket). Simplistic is good but some of the animations need some polishing.
What I really like is how the music syncs with visual events, especially in the intro. The various visual styles are nice too. It'd have been cool if the little guy had visited a few more places, but of the existing ones the piano scene was my favourite.
Nice stuff, just throw in more variety, spend a little more time on the animations and I'll be happy to give it a 10/10
Cheers, Luke

Thanks Luke!
This was actually done pretty quickly, but I understand what you are saying.
Thanks for the review!
