It's hilarious and awesome to watch your guy wave his arms around like a maniac, filling the screen with bullets that you can't really control.
This takes the frantic feel of Avalanche and brings it to a new level - my only complaint is that the guy on screen is too small, so you're more or less dodging with your whole body, rather than with individual limbs like in Avalanche.
I can only imagine how this guy must look to the people that he's trying to save XD

I've played a lot of point and clicks, but this one has such an efficient design and interface. I like that.

"App" flashes are rare on Newgrounds, but I always appreciate seeing a good one. This one's especially thorough, I'm impressed.
Have you considered taking the MOD-playing core and releasing it as an AS library? A lot of people could really make use of a simple MOD-player in their games.
Author's Response:
Well, I will not release this library because it is poorly commented and coded. That's why I want to wait a few weeks to rewrite it completely and add support for .XM, .IT and .S3M.
Thanks for the review :D

"Everyone's entitled to their own opinion"
..but everyone's not entitled to their own facts.
Learn more about the nature of Canada's immigration policies by googling 'CIC Canada' and taking the first site, and disregard this guy's ignorant third-hand ramblings.
Seriously, did you even research this? It sounds like you just poked around in some American anti-immigration website, decided "Well, Canada's next door to America so the situation's *got* to be the same as what these skinheads are saying," and started scribbling your Flash.
As for the Flash itself, it's a reasonable job of a deliberately-cheap style, and the voiceover has a decent patter to it.
Author's Response:
Fact or not, what is portrayed in this Flash is exactly what it feels like, living where I do.

This game is incredibly tedious and unplayable after a few minutes when your hand cramps up. However, that doesn't stop it from being absolutely brilliant.
The sight of this old man ballerina, "delicately" mashing roses while being assaulted by deadly snails, worms, and bugs, is priceless.

I like how you've made a shooting game with simple rules, and enemies with simple patterns, but designed the level to make it a hard game just the same.
The mouse controls are a bit floaty compared to keyboard, though, and it makes some of the difficulty a little unfair.

In fact, there's more to this Flash, storywise, than a lot of Newgrounds entries. Extra sprite editing (and pixel art, too!) makes a nice bonus, too.
What I find really interesting is that there's actually a lot of Flash skill being shown here, but it's so understaded, and in the service of the story.

"Basic idea is good, needs a lot of polish though."
The trampoline idea is great, it really is - but it deserves more work than you've put into it. I hope you can make another version of this game that throws in the other features seen in these 'Kitten Cannon' type games.

First, congrats on reaching review #3,000.
The movie is slow-paced, but in a relaxed way. The jokes are funny; you really get the sense of how the 'real Link' is a hopeless and unlucky guy.
The art is great, and the animation is complex and well-timed. I can only hope to match it in quality some day.

When's the next Frank's Adventure coming out?
But anyway, this is a big improvement over Powerfox V2 - there's more tactics involved in fighting each boss, and you can't get away with just standing right below them and punching away.
The sound is great - it's just a crazy racket of noise from the beginning to the end of each fight. The graphics are simple but clean, and the style is right in line with what we've come to expect from a certain somebody that you may or may not be.
Good work!
