This is one of the best action games Newgrounds has seen in a very long time. Madville is just absolutely amazing. It's challenging, fun, posses a great soundtrack, and the enemies and plot is satisfyingly creative. Great job!!!

Hey thanks! I am really glad you liked it!
VERY FUNNY!!
I want to cut this game up into a fine powder, mix it with battery acid and bleach, then use a needle to inject the mixture directly into my retina.
the sheer magnitude of orgasms that this game has caused me to experience is incredible.

Hah, this comment made my day! Glad you liked it, thank you very much! :)
Graphics, music, sounds, gameplay, wits - all was average, fun and good looking. The weapons were fun and the bigger ones satifying powerful. Good idea with the random dice - but after you upgraded everything there should be a possibility to spend your research points. I am at level 13 and all is maxed and I still die because of (my low gamer qualities;) the small arena and the too-far-away spacebar. If WASD is customizable why isnt the spacebar? The pick up key should be 'e' or 'q' to make the gameplay more fluent. After all a respectable arena shooter - I miss new ideas.
UmutDervis responds:
Hi, thanks for the comment! Yeah, I'm getting rightful complaints about customization of spacebar. I wanted to simplfy things by not adding it because key-binding screen was somehow also an instruction screen, and I thought left-handed people can still choose their movement keys according to the position of spacebar. Now I see it was a mistake.
Difficulty is another thing that gets interesting and different responses. I wish I hadn't removed the difficulty selection :)
Thanks!
Great graphics, a hilarious storyline, fluent gameplay - no doubt, this has the potential for a hit game. However, two flaws prevent to make this good game a great one:
1. Why do we have to use space to collect bonus items? With one hand on the mouse and the other on WASD, that's just impractical and tedious for players. Give us at least the chance to redefine the keys, or better yet, simply let the character collect the bonus items when he walks over them.
2. NGlers don't care for ingame-batches that none of the community here can see. Add NG-medals and maybe even a highscore-system, and you will get way more views, votes and positive feedback.
Just to clarify: I like this game, that's why I care to write this review. I hope there will be a "Madville 2" without the mentioned flaws, I guess this will be a game with even more views, a better score and a higher daily award.

Hi there, I'm glad you liked the game! Quickly to your questions:
1. When I allowed picking up by walking over, there was too many unintentional weapon changes especially at the fast pace of later levels, and so many wasted health packs at the wrong time. But I should have given a way to change spacebar, I thought I was making it simpler because it was also mixed with instructions screen etc. Not the brightest idea ever, now I know that one :)
2. I couldn't find time for this unfortunately. I love NG and would love to make a special edition for here but releasing a game (especially with an another sponsor) can be messy at times. But I will definitely try this if I will be able to release a sequel / new game.
Thanks for the detailed comment!
