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!

That 8 second sound loop got really annoying really fast, though.
Kinda reminded me of Super Dodgeball for the arcades.

I really don't understand why this is supposed to be the "coolest flash game ever!!!" Is it just because you met Tom at GDC? :D
Maybe I'm getting too cynical with these flash games, but this just fels like a SLOOOOOOOW mix of Dig Dug and Mr. Driller, without the hectic pace of either of them.

I have a real hard time believing you never played that Crash game, as this is practically identical, except with a kitty and booby traps, not a bike and some crazy anime students. (I don't doubt you coded it yourself, though). The other one was still more impressive, though, and was more interactive also.
....man, I really hate Yeti games for starting the trend of these "click, wait 30 seconds and see how you did" games.

I really respect you as a musician and I loved Spin, but this was a really awful animation. There was nothing remotely interesting or humorous in the whole thing. You tried to match the show and the dance too closely, and thus completely failed at making it worth watching.
It probably didn't help that I was expecting some twist or exagerration or making fun of the show or the dance throughout, but if I had known exactly what this was before watching I would have never have touched it. I'm really surprised so many people seem to have enjoyed it, actually.
Go back to making quality stylistic animations and stay away from this capitalization of popular media. You're not cut out for it.

Why would I change the show and the dance? That was the whole point, to bring them together and make them accurate, that's what was funny about it.

Is it really April already? Close enough, I guess.

As a devout follower of B, I cannot agree with the message, but the narrative, story, animation, etc was really well done.

This isn't irony, you literary dunces. This is foreshadowing.
Irony:
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. I.E.: Goody two shoes boy shoots up a school.
Foreshadowing:
Making a movie about shooting people, torching a police car, and killing yourself, and then five months later, managing 2 out of 3, only managing to steal the police car..

Pretty good idea, although the game is a little too easy for me.
You have many interesting games. I look forward to seeing more from you!

...I played it all the way through, even though there wasn't really a whole lot to do. I think I scored pretty well also. I don't think the clown or racing games are rigged, unless it's rigged so I can win, since I won them every time. (the clown follows the same pattern each time, it's not even random. it's right, left, fake move, mid, right, wait, repeat, over and over. it's always the one on the right at the end). It was a fun and charming game to kill 20 mins with, though I didn't feel amazed by it or anything.

This is EXACTLY the same game as your "go saddam go!" game, just with different graphics so you can capitalize on current events. (I'm sure you're aware, but I'm stating it in case other people aren't.)
If it works for you, I guess. Kinda stupid to me, though, and a little annoying if this gets a million+ views plus media coverage just because it's a crappy game that happens to have Michael in it. I'd rather spend my time on a new game with more interesting gameplay than this, personally..
