I don't think that you're mocking D-Day in this submission, but I've got to tell you, chief, I can't think of a single WWII vet who would want his experience compared with a Super Mario Bros. episode. So, while you might not consider this submission to be insensitive, I certainly can understand why some might find your work offensive. In short, you might want to think of other ways to honor our vets.
This is a great simulation and uses the medium of Flash to its full potential. Don't listen to anyone that tells you this is too hard or too random. I've been playing it for 30 minutes and still can't beat it; however, think about it people, if it was THAT easy for a virus to infect every single person and kill them, wouldn't that have happened by now? The reality is that natural occurences like weather patterns, smoke rings, and patterns of viral infection all follow choatic principles, and you've done a great job of incorporating this phenomenon into the game. I also love the fact that it's Man vs. Virus. Very cool game; glad to see you're still exploring this untapped genre.
I've been reading some of the reviews of this one, and a lot of the negative press is totally unjustified. The reason why this movie works is because you've taken a played out concept and added something new to it, elevating that concept through your art.
The physics engine seems really good (although I don't have the background to make a more concrete statement), and the concept is gold. This is the first flash I've seen that could pass for educational and it's really fun as well. Awesome job, please make more.
Didn't really tie in a particle physics theme like I thought it would. Although, the physics engine was pretty impressive. I don't know though: I mean basically you're a blue ball dodging a bunch of red balls. Not really front page material in my estimation; although, maybe I just have an inherent bias against blue balls.
The game is great, but it doesn't belong here. Why? For starters, you've put up a game that doesn't let you finish playing the game, not really cool. As well, you have an ad embedded in the game which is even less cool. Let's keep this site open for individuals who want to showcase their artwork and closed for money-making ventures. There are more appropriate flash websites for commercial games.
For those of us who are in arrested development and still stuck a the age where "potty humor" is still DAMN funny, this is a riot. Two questions though: first, why does this dude not clean those two specks of shit off the bowl. I mean, what's up with that?! Is it this type of depraved indifference that causes his house to crumble over the next thirty years? Second question, toward the end, it looks like nobody is living in the house, so who took the final shit of the movie. Can toilets also shit, and if so, can they also have peanuts in their shit? I only ask because that last shit looked like it had peanuts in it.
And coming from me, that's quite a compliment. I'm not a big fan of the genre, and it seems like NG is flooded with fighting movies. Your's is different because it A) brings together two awesome games that even the most clueless SOB's are going to remember, and it B) has some really good choreographed fighting sequences. I would, however, cut back on some of the repetition in your subsequent films or the fighting may get a little tedious. But, other than that ONE suggestion, great film.
Why this did not make front page is beyond me. The game is highly artistic, incorporating aspects of horror with enough camp (especially the way the zombies kill you) to also make it damn funny. I noticed this is your only submission, but you've got some great stuff on your website. You should think about putting it into flash and sharing it with the NG community.

Don't listen to the haters

One of the best games I have ever seen here
The physics engine seems really good (although I don't have the background to make a more concrete statement), and the concept is gold. This is the first flash I've seen that could pass for educational and it's really fun as well. Awesome job, please make more.

Basically you dodge some balls

The house interior
Either purposely or unintentionally looked A LOT like the one from the spoilsbury toastboy movies. Good movie!

Not for this site
