I'll give you half the points for making the game OK, but it's been done thousands of times before and it doesn't score high in originality. Also, the AI is pretty lame, you can always guess where to place your paddle next and just repeat the process until the computer AI paddle can't keep up.
And last but not least: there is a nice type when you get a score of 6, it says "Congradulations"

What can I add on to all these reviews that have already been written? Not much, I can only say what I thought about the flash. It was great. It's not your basic fighting or shooting game, but it's a lot of fun to play. You could say that it's a gory, sidescrolling slaughterfest, but still... that's not really the best way to describe it. What it is: a fluent game with nice variation, good graphics, music that fits the theme and the action really well and an epic boss!
Games like these can only be defined by their correct appearance: good in both graphics and music, easy in controls and intuitive actions, low filesize, low computer resource demands, no plot (which is a good thing in games like these!) and twisted ways of defining and executing different/alternative concepts of gameplay.
This is a winner on all fronts. It's a classic game that I hope to replay from time to time, which in essence is what this game does best: once you finished the game, you want to replay it, immediately after defeating the "boss" and even replay it after a long period of time has passed (a couple of weeks/months or even years)

"A friend of mine thought it was over..."
How wrong he was... LOL
He thought that after your last episode was made, that was it. I didn't agree. He lost! :D
This episode is more awesome then the rest, but still leaves you behind with more questions then this episode could answer from the last one...
The 2 new characters... who are they, why did they "rescue" the protagonist and what will happen next?
I love the music, the graphics and the story... it dives deeper and deeper and leaves you wretched and wanting more, more, MORE!
Awesome job!

I really wish you will finish this game. I really would like to help end it, but then again, I'm not that good at using Flash. But I'm sure that, with the help of some great artists, this game could become a front page submission without a problem!
In case anyone wonders: the intro music (when you see the polaroid photo's and the text) is from Björk. The song is called "I miss you (Dobie_remix)", which can be found on the CD "Telegram" (1996), track 5

"It's been done before, but this looks very good!"
I've seen concepts like these before, but this one is actually very nicely done.
Pro's:
- The choice between different genres and moods is really what sets it off from the rest. I've never seen this in any other flashes like these being actively implementen, while it's a very nice feature to have, not always being able to judge what fits in which situation.
- The program is light in filesize, which makes it a very fast start with close to none of the load time which could let you wait endlessly...
- Layout gives a good overview, makes it easy to find everything
Cons:
- Layout is a bit poor. It looked rather bare. It's not really a con, I guess some people will be upset about it, but others will find it OK to have such a stripped down interface with just everything they need and no additional and unnecessary bells and whistles.
Others have already mentioned in their reviews what could be added, but that would probably increase the filesize enormously. Still, things like favorites lists could depend on the cache to save the data. The bare minimum that should be put onto it is a link to the original song in case you want to download it or at least provide enough information so that you can find the song yourself. Or a direct download button on the interface...
Really well done.
Author's Response:
Song Info button brings you to the original song. :)
For the Layout : I'm working on it for the next version, and while it probably will never have all the flashyness NGAP had.... I think NGAP was detrimentally affected performance wise, from having all those bells and whistles. I'll theme it like newgrounds, but still keep it simple.
I gotta follow the rule : KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid. :P)
Thanks for the Review. :)

Posting it with English dialogue and/or text is the best thing you can do... I didn't understand much more then porno and how are you / fine
Something about a mama/mother that sounded more like a guy then a women made it all the more unrealistic. Furthermore, improve your drawings. It's all very raw right now, but I think you can get something really worthwhile out of it if you improve on the language and the drawings.

Brought a tear to my eye, it was so cute and nice, excellent made and original. One of those games that are addictive, fun, and just work! Music was good, graphics were excellent, concept and gameplay was very good. I salute you all for this fine piece of work!

When I run out of ammo and the weapon starts to reload, I get a game over screen...
Fix this please!

You obiously fell victim to a facehugger. You probably died on the first lvl while your gun was covering the facehugger behind the watercooler.

"This was impressive, to say the least"
If NG would make and exception and let you vote 6, 7 or even 10, I would surely give you the maximum score. Same here in the reviews, if I could give you 11/10, you would get it. You deserve it, every point, every mark, every score !
I'm still rubbing my eyes to see if this was so real and so good, but it is. It's impressive, to say the least. Even the preloader was a very good piece of work.
I don't know what to say... I'm speechless after seeing your Flash.
Instead of words, I'll just give you a hug, you deserve it. *hugs*
