It's surprisingly quite good fun for a short play session, for such a very simple game. I think that if you were to change the black line "bat" that Mario's holding to a horizontal Mario World green pipe it would look better, and if you were to add hit and miss sound effects, plus rows of blocks at the top of the screen like in Breakout (some of which could be mystery blocks with bonues inside like slow down the ball/Koopa shell, etc), then this would be a really brilliant Mario Breakout game and you'd be a superstar! :-) You have, after all, got the basics of that game already in place here.... Hope that helps.

For someone who says their understanding of pinball physics is a bit weak, you've managed to produce a pretty good pinball game! You've got most of the physics fairly correct going by how well it plays in terms of ball movement and reaction. My only criticisms are that a) it is very easy to keep hold of the ball for ages and ages and not lose it very often like in real pinball, and b) why is the score sideways? A decent effort, fix these issues and expand the gameplay further along the lines of real pinball tables (multiple ramps, sub-game missions, etc) and it'll be a real classic.

I like it, it's got plenty of choices and is great fun to play around with.

The two authors of this should be ashamed of themselves - it's such a sad effort to attract attention to themselves, which unfortunately has worked given the 120,000+ views. This should be deleted, but I don't suppose it will.

If you keep working on it to expand it more, tidy up the layout a bit, and also add extra things like full music tracks and some nice graphics, this will be a top-rating soundboard.

....and it does matter, whatever anyone else says - and why give a 10 when still having criticisms, doh! BUT... It's a lovely game, don't get me wrong, I really like it. If you fix the minor bugs, I think this could be an all-time Newgrounds classic - it's nearly that good now! :-D

Lower the volume of the music, that would help a lot! :-) But I do like this Sonic scene creator, it's fun to play around with making different Sonic game scenes (some of your other reviewers clearly aren't artistic, are they?), it's got plenty of items to use. Try and organize it, make the sprites re-spawn rather than have so many of each one, add some other background choices and some other music choices - you've already done all the hard work creating the game's functionality, if you put in the extra bit of effort you'll have a real winner on your hands.

.....the first one is much better, mostly due to it being easier to play with more repsonsive controls and less confused decision-making during gameplay. Still way better than most Newgrounds games though, and it's now in my favourites list so I can come back and play it again later! :D
