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"

"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.

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

That was terrific! I couldn't stop laughing. Blockhead really outdone himself this time. Keep up the good work, you are one of the top artists on this site and your getting better and better with each flash movie you make!
Author's Response:
Well, I think I would be worried if I was getting worse :D
But I did decide to put a little more work into how I was organizing my backgrounds, so I am glad it paid off!

I fail to understand why a Flash movie should ever be so big. Mind you, I have cable and can download it easily, but I've been on 33.6 and 56K modems long enough to understand how useless a flash animation this size can be. I don't understand why it really HAS to be SOOOO big. I don't think a size this big will ever be worth it. The best I've seen come close to maybe 10MB tops. And even that is a bit too high to be good.
That's why your overall score is worth a zero. No single flash animation should be so big. Cut it up into pieces, fine, you can play with other elemens if you do it this way and add even some more content and viewers. But one big file just to show what you are capable of is nuts. I can make 14MB flash movies as well. Just give me some uncompressed music files and a bit of animation, and I'm done. It's going to be a 14MB flash like yours, but it won't be such that you can automatically think that this movie or game was made by a top developer or animator...
Author's Response:
What a useless review. Sorry. I warned people of the large file size and i compressed it as much as i can. Sadly, if you want good graphics and sound you are looking at a larger file size. Would you rather a 30kb file thats a repeated animation?? Its not my fault some people are too impatient. If you have 56k then this game is not for you. It didnt deserve a ZERO.

I found this funny in some bizarre way, and I'm not even high! Good going!

I see you still got to improve on a lot of things, but overall, you made a good start. The basics are there, now just to make the graphics and sound better, add some story and more levels and you could have a good game which will get you a high score. It's a good one as it is right now, the basics are there, just work a bit on the details.
Good job.

This contains quite usefull material for people who are learning to make a good Flash animation. It's also good for people who struggle with out-of-sync sounds.
It was a very clean and simple very good tutorial!
