I've been searching for a decent flash-based tennis game for a LONG time now, and finally one comes along!
There were some really great aspects of this game -- the controls were simple (but effective), the gameplay was solid, and the difficulty range was also very good. I played one practice game, and then kept on improving as I went through the tournament mode. It was more of a gentle push rather than getting to difficult too quickly.
If you were to make a sequel, it would be nice if the tournament mode was a bit longer, and if you could choose how long each match was in terms of games and sets. Also, a few different varieties of courts would be nice: a red clay court, a grey hard court, and obviously the classic grass court. Perhaps also a custom build character option would be nice, and some stats that you could build upon throughout the game.
These are just thoughts though -- this game was brilliant as it was. Good job!

This is by far one of the best submissions to come out of clock day 2008. The graphics were pretty unique, and the animation was great -- I especially loved the way you made everything look sort of squishy. ;)
The music was also great, and worked perfectly with the submission. Fantastic job.

"All the best bits from the original, and more."
I love the direction you've taken this in, from the little progress bar until your next upgrade, to the stats screen you get when you pause. The original game was good, but this one is exemplary. The way you can also choose the path in which your tank evolves is a very nice touch.
Can't fault it, keep up the excellent work!

I remember this game from many years ago when it was one of the 'stock' games that came standard with a Windows OS. Of course, that one was much easier. I preferred this version, which I found to be a bit more challenging.
The only slight complaint I have is how the high score screen comes up after EVERY game you play. It would be a lot quicker and easier if it only came up when you'd actually gotten a top 10 score, or something along those lines. Just a suggestion.
Otherwise, great game. I had to add it to my favorites.

You really did an incredible job with this. The script was hilarious, and I really liked the way the story panned out. Serious props to you for managing to make a movie that held my attention for the full time span. Sequel?

This really was great. The dialogue was funny and not too drawn-out, and I loved that at the end they realised that they had to go to the karaoke night. Also, the not-so-subtle phallic reference to the big lever impressing the ladies was well done, and actually made me laugh, unlike a lot of penis jokes.
Anyway, I wouldn't presume to give a great flash artist like you any advice -- you simply don't need it. Just enjoy my words of praise, if you read them.
Great job :)

I loved the first game, and this one was even better. It incorporated all my favourite aspects of the first game, and built on them, such as searching for traps and supplies, and being able to travel to other cities. There was much more logic involved in the traveling aspect, in that you had to weigh up your current supplies against what you could find in the next city, but also take into account how many days you had left.
I honestly can't find anything wrong with it, although occasionally I've run into a glitch that makes my character disappear whilst reloading, resulting in me having to start the game all over again.
Overall though, a really enjoyable game. Perhaps a third would strain the whole zombie theme a little, but hey, if you can evolve it from this one as much as this has evolved from the first, then you'll probably still be onto a winner, regardless of whether people are getting bored of zombies.

I remember playing this ages ago when it was first uploaded here, but playing at again many months later, it's still an enjoyable game. It didn't take me as long to figure out how to complete certain sections of it, thankfully, but the bit in the kitchen still took a few minutes for me to work out.
Overall, the graphics were nice, and the point and click style worked very well. Probably one of the better point and click style games that I've played. Great work.

I enjoyed playing this. It was exactly right in terms of simplicity: easy to get to grips with, and not too much to have to think about whilst playing.
The only thing that was disappointing was how short it was! I could easily play this game all day, so I was a bit saddened when it came to an end. Perhaps if you were to do another one, you could make it with several levels, and bonus levels, etc.?
Anyway, great game, I'd love to see more.

I enjoyed this. It was simple, but well-made, which is nice to see. A lot of the more simplistic animations on Newgrounds are only simple because of a lack of effort on the author's part, but you did a very nice job on this.
The music was really fitting to the animation, and it definitely benefited from it. I don't think there's much that you can actually improve on, as you seem to pretty much have this kind of animation pretty much down.
I'd love to see more of your work. Good job.
