I work for YUKE's, who are most known for developing the WWE Smackdown games. I've also gotten some international recognition for my Proximity strategy game, plus others. I was on NG more in the past, but Clock Crew more now. More games coming to NG soon!

Very cool game, although I almost think you should have given a bit more room to see what was coming. A score would have been cool also. Good luck, guys.

I was pretty angry at first, sitting through what a clock called "the greatest video game movie ever!" and seeing some real shit on the screen... but then you got to your ending, and your point. And you're so right.
It seems every time I submit any of my games one (or two) of these crappy sprite movies (not much better than this one) is submitted the same day, and snags the top or top two spots, giving my game a third place and most likely meaning it gets ignored, because as long as you have a video game character in your movie, you automatically get a 4.0+ rating on this site.
Where did all these obsessed video game freaks with no taste come from? Look, I love those games too, I grew up with them, but that doesn't mean I automatically hump anything that has my favorite video game characters' faces on them. Aren't you guys the same people who rip on how terrible all these video game-based movies in Hollywood are? Those, at least, had a score of people spending a lot of time and effort on them. These sprite movies DON'T.
It'd be one thing if they managed to be witty or clever or satirical, but they all have silly stupid slapstick humor, or have them "dance" to crappy pop music, because you can't do too much with the sprite set for a character meant for video games (run, jump, fly, and fight, that's just about it).
So congrats on expressing what the quiet minority has been thinking. Maybe the right people will get the message and knock it off, or stop voting this shit up to first place all the time.

...this was pretty horrible. I can respect the time you took to make the animation, but the humor just wasn't there, or perhaps just not my kind of humor. I really felt like my 5 minutes was wasted after watching that, and felt pretty angry that it was spent watching this.
It probably doesn't help that I'm tired of all these stupid sprite movies to begin with, though, and how they always seem win the Daily Feature and get front page, regardless of how good they are.

This is the greatest epic released so far in Newgrounds history, and it only wins Daily 5th. For shame, Newgrounders!
I loved this movie. It was very much worth the wait. Even the shoddy graphics adds to the charm, and allows you to spend more time making beautiful silky smooth animation and having lots and lots of exciting things happening onscreen at once.
You stretched Flash up to, and beyond, its limit. I don't think there's too many people out there who can honestly make that claim.
Well done! Can't wait for the next installment!

...but it get boring pretty quickly. The concept is great, though.
It also doesn't help that you're forced to start over at the very beginning of the level after playing the level for two minutes you accidentally hit something.
Great considering it's your first game, though.

That was incredible. Very funny, very fast moving, retaining the classic clock theme without diving too deep into cliche-land, and a good send off to Turd :P. Amazing job.

...this is all the quality big corporations are expecting when they pay people to make web games for them? Huh. Some of the site sponsors are getting better games, and they pay much, much less money.
Guess I better find myself a stable artist and business manager and start approaching these guys. I can easily beat this quality if I had the money, the art, and the time (paid for by money :P).
