------------ A note from developer, August 28th, 2022 --------------------

I just visited NG years later to announce Madville+ on Steam, and saw that original Madville can not be played by Newgrounds player. This is NOT something I did or planned, as some commenters are ignorantly claiming. According to this ridiculous idea: I should have powers to see the future, know that flash player will be dead and years later NG will write its own replacement, and years before aaaall that, I implement some code that can somehow talk with this new technology and stop it from working. How is that even possible? And greed? For what purpose? To make my own game, that I worked on for months, unplayable? Which had already become unplayable when flash died?!

TL;DR: I don't know why the game is not working here. I stopped checking flash sites years ago, when flash died. I don't know how NG player works. MY BEST GUESS is this: Flash games back then, had lot of 3rd party tools to provide site owners & developers stats & other services. Some of those services, had mechanisms to ensure site-specific features work correctly, or to protect site-owners licenses / interests.. and perhaps NG player is not playing well with those long gone services, and that popping message might be one of them, failing in a never-imagined scenario. This is no one's fault. No one could have predicted this.

The game is still free and playable, as every other flash game: You can download it with flashpoint, which archives most of flash games that existed. It's just NG player can't play this one, it's unfortunate but these things happen. It's just technology and nature of things.

Thanks for reading.

Update: Tom Fulp has kindly written a response about this. Hopefully when Ruffle is mature enough, it will be able to adress this kind of errors and open the game as it was before: https://twitter.com/TomFulp/status/1564266409533865984

You know, the world needs to be saved. Somehow it is always in danger. And there is always a hero that you can count on at times like this. A hero that you can look up to. But sometimes, there comes a hero, a bit different and unorthodox in his ways. This is the story of that hero. Relive the memory of a mad guy who saved the world and ended up in an asylum.
