Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. ZORK KILLED YA FAMILY! xD
Whatever it is you did to inspire such a huge collection of nonsensical awesome is beyond me, but quite honestly, keep it up.
Your animations don't have to look pretty to be funny.

I tossed around playing this game for a good half an hour.
I regret that, but it's testimony to the work that you produced -- Simplistic, and addictive.
Exceptional.

The people weren't in sync with the music. Was good, but a lack of interactivity/plot made this not really worth my time.

"A flash game I wouldn't regret spending money on!"
Fresh genre.
Original concept, even if it's been taken from an old game, it's been made feel fresh and original.
The music and characters, along with your view of the bar provide an atmospheric graphical experience which few flash games can even come close to producing.
Essentially, with the tutorial levels and the arrows just in case you mix up the scotch or the whisky make the game easier and cut down the learning curve without destroying the challange, as the tricks and the blue-entertained bar with customers provide incentive to do tricks, earn tips and purchase more expensive gear.
I can't say I've played beyond week 4, beacuse as great as the game is, there are times when it gets a *tad* repetitive. The new drinks are great, the mixes are generally complex, but I find myself making up the drinks, throwing three bottles into the air while the drinks are standing ready, maxing out the customer bars by catching said bottles, then giving drinks.
I've ended up with "-105 xp till next level!".
My suggestions to fix this is once you've started producing a drink, tricks have less effect on the customer who wants the specific drink, while all the other customers can be delayed, which saves the original concept.
Also either features for multiple-level gain at once, or make level gaining more complex with challenge standards, or even making players gain more XP before they gain another level.
The graphics are cartoony, which is good, considering throwing your bottles 'coast to coast' seven times is a *tad* unrealistic. xD
The music is well-picked, with generic basey-clubbing music for the playable level, suitable slow-paced rap music for the menu, and The Final Countdown for level advancement.
My only complaint with the music is if it could fade out, or save it's position, or even start in a random point within the rap music for the menu, fading in.
This is a game that is shelf-worthy, given a few professional touches shape it into something even better.
I'm looking foward to your next submission, and hoping like hell you keep it free. ^_^

I'm totally unsure what to think of this, but I'm somehow clicking the '5' button, since it matches the grin on my face the closest.
Animation was great, concepts were... abstract, yet charming.
Keep it up, I think.

I couldn't help but grin at the last few frames in the corner you snuck in there.
Overly really well done. My only gripe at first was how the whole thing went so fast, but I can imagine that's deliberate anyhow to go with the song.
=D

I see the cheaply made menu, and to be quite honest, I'm not expecting much to begin with.
Looking at the other reviews, I'm beginning to to wonder if this game is worth the time.
I played through it anyhow, getting through to the finish.
Overall, I'm extremely disappointed.
The controls were sluggish, where the lag in the character might as well made it more worth your while mapping the character to an analog stick, let alone a keyboard and god forbid, a mouse.
The background in the terrorist camp made differentiating between parts of the wall and the background difficult. Adding a distinct wood grain, or adding an outline would've been such a blatant quick solve, I'm unsure as to why you didn't do it.
For once, the music loop didn't annoy me, although it wasn't anything special. The pause and play buttons were buggy, however, because put simply, there was no play button, and "Unpausing" takes about 2-3 minutes -- It's not essential, but to be quite honest, it's an annoying flaw.
The lack of a life limit or a "You have died -- Press Ok To continue" made the game less immersive and more just a grind where you don't care if you die, it's just an obstacle to get to the next level, so clocking it becomes less of a challenge.
Graphics wise, the plant and the generator escape scenes weren't too well thought through, although they were clear and easy to navigate, just felt as though they were 'slapped together'.
A few of the graphics seemed to serve no practical purpose, for example -- the "Whale's fin" at the top of level 1, and the extremely large fan on one of the more difficult levels.
Storyline wasn't convincing. If you do something that is going to hit all the cliche's on the head, please, let it have enough dignity to be a pisstake, or just don't storyline it at all.
Overall, when played through, the lacklustre graphics, sluggish and possibly inappropriate controls, cliche, undignified storyline and single, unconvincing background loop rank this game a 2 out of 10.
It was a nice attempt, but if you're going to make games, make them of a high standard -- This could've been improved in so many simple ways, it felt as if it was an extremely quick job.

This was quite possibly the best hate flash I've ever seen.
Nicely done. ^^;
Only annoying thing was the sound quality -- but that's been well and truly been covered by others.
Your movie made me login to newgrounds. =O
There'll be a part 2, right?
You still haven't covered a few groups. ^^;

Having it from the kid's perspective made this one of the funniest flash's I've seen in a long time.Keep up the good work! ^^;
I'm going to hell at least 10 times now.
I'm sure they'll have a whole corporate floor saved for you guys, though. xD
