Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

This game is all about Tom Fulp's commitment to not shave his face until his next console game, Castle Crashers, is completed. It's a ridiculously over-the-top arcade boss battle that is well worth your time. We hope you enjoy it and discover the secret character!

Did we mention that Tom himself voice-acted his role in this game?

BEST PERFORMANCE: Play in Internet Explorer to see this run at full-speed!

Thanks to Luis for really nailing the Castle Crasher sprites and bringing new flavor to them with his NG-themed weapons.

Thanks to Coaly who brought "The Beard" to life.

Thanks to The Swain who was kind enough to throw in a few voice clips too.

Shout out to myself for coding , doing the bg art, menus, and sounds.

Special thanks to Tom for supporting this adventure and inspiring all us flash artists to create stuff we love.

"Lots of fun."

I think we would all agree that this game would kick ass if it was a RPG style game that you grew through the actual levels of newgrounds as you gained experience. That would take a lot of work, but it would be an amazing game. This game was fun, really, really, really easy though when you find out Tom's attack pattern. The last level made me laugh a little too. Great game play, great action, and great humor. Good job overall.

Fabulous, even. The last level up was a nice touch, but the game was too easy. Graphics were great; although i experienced some slowdown, the game was enjoyable.

0. Hello.

1. Good Points:
- GFX, period. Very suited for the game, everything follows suit with the style. The design of the characters are very cute and looks like it's taken straight out of Castle Crashers.
- Concept, funny. The concept is great, parodying Tom's commitment to not shaving. A game that is just a massive boss battle is an idea that is entirely new to me.
- SFX, great. The sound effects and music are awesome, really gives the game an arcade feel. The voice acting is highly commendable as well.
- Gameplay, period. The gameplay is great. Although the overall game is difficult, the game is not that tiring to play.

2. (Not so) Good Points:
- Speed. I found that the game started to slow down a bit. I'm not sure if it's just my system though.
- Difficulty. The game was rather difficult at first. That makes games interesting too play although it also makes some games very tiring and menial.

3. Great job once again! I'm a big fan and you never manage to disappoint.
