It's really hard to do a truly entertaining random animation. You have some interesting ideas and a few chuckles, but something more is needed to put it over the top.

Pretty Amusing...

But uh, one thing.. In your credits, you say "You Spin Me Round" was done by New Order. It wasn't. It was done by Dead Or Alive.

Congratulations on this achievement!

I really don't like movies that have an enitre song as part of the sound file pumping up a poorly animated file to the multi-meg category. I also don't care for the small files that are basically a few pictures set to a small annoying loop.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for showing this community how to make a great Flash movie that fully optimized and has a low file size.

I believe you've thrown down a gauntlet (whether you meant to or not) and I suspect there will be others that will soundly attempt to answer the challenge. I thank you for that, too.

Review and bug report

Very playable Q-bert clone. I didn't think that with just Strawberry Clock that it would be any challenge, but it was.

Anyway, the bug happened on Level 5. I had used up my bombs and was giving SC chase. I found that I could leap through him, so I attempted to complete the level. I don't know if we happened to land at the same time or what, but all of a sudden, the sound of the land mine goes off, I'm back on top of the pyramid, except that I can't move. The game appears to lock up at this point.
Also, when I win extra land mines due to score, they don't show up like the extra lives do.

OK, the game engine is solid...

The voice work for the various commentaries is professional sounding and dead on the the game. I like the variation on the loader. And it's easy to play.
Having said that:
1. Why press a different key (C) to continue? Why not keep it on the space bar and still have "S" to stop? (This is a nitpick, I realize)
2. It would add a lot of variety to have a series of different funny animations for the pineapples (like 'Whammy') detailing how the money is disappearing. You could also develop a series of clips showing exactly what 'prizes' are won as well.
Overall, it's a well done piece of programming. Very playable. Just add a little more style and you'll have a big hit on your hands.

A good demo

A couple of points.. isn't it supposed to read THAC0? (To Hit At aC 0), and although the hits seem accurate, You didn't factor in the consequences of rolling a 1 or a 20.
Other than that it's a great first effort. Could almost be used to demonstrate how AD&D works.. maybe with a little text describing the factors involved..
