Well, you have changed me today. Moovlin PC got a low rating for what amount of effort I put in, and you guys seem to have thought I was lying about working on it for 2 years. There are no lies in it. It isn't perfect, but you have made me change my attitude and I have decided to quit the flash scene.
No, you haven't defeated me. Don't get that into your head. For all the 0s you rated my game, there are 10s. There are people which love and enjoy the game, and others that don't. What I have done is much more than either of you 0 raters will ever accomplish in a life time. And it's not perfect, nothing is, some might appear sloppy, maybe you don't like the graphics, maybe you don't like the gameplay, but honestly, I like it. I put enough work into it and my friends in real life and on the Internet love it. There was almost 0 constructive criticism, so don't expect a sequel.
Which brings me to my next point. This game has taken one eighth of my life. 2 years out of the life of a 16 year old is no small time. You may have thought it was a waste, and that's fine, but what about you? Have you made anything? When was the last time you spent a huge chunk of your life making a game which you originally had no profit motive for?
It was by sheer luck and perhaps some good first impressions that Tom Fulp sponsored my game. I think it is because he sees the amount of work that has gone into it. Which is why the scores, be it high or low don't matter too much for me. Somebody, who has done something with their life, who has been on the flash scene, like me, since he was a teenager can honestly view this game and say it is worth being sponsored.
It is your type of character which really reflects in the eyes of me, and whether or not you care about that is one thing, but I know that even if the game scores a 0 out of 10, as long as I made the life of one person happier, and maybe if only one person out of thousands enjoyed it, I have done a good thing.
Not to ignore the point I made a few mistakes in the game. My description of it was shotty and I do apologize, I changed that for future references. There are a few parts I had to hurry to finish, but if you play the whole game, you can surely see 2 years of effort has gone into this. Remember, I am no game designer. I am a teenager who stumbled upon a site called newgrounds.com and was inspired to make something.
I am no Jazza, BoM Toons or other high profile developer. Hell, I can't even legally drink. I did this game from a labor of love. Whether or not you notice it is up to you, but if you can ignore all the work that has gone into this and simply dismiss it as garbage, then you should seriously look at your character and try to figure out something from it.
Anyways, I have decided to quit the flash scene. Yes, people may have wanted a sequel, or even another game from me. Please don't view me as a quitter, as it is not quitting at all. I have tried. You showed me that my skills are not in flash design, and from what you have told me, I have decided to try something new. The saying goes that a baseball player gets hundreds of fouls and strikes, but once and a while, he gets a home run.
I will continue in trying new things and tell you about it as time progresses about my ventures. I am going to use the money from the game sponsorship to pay for lessons in Aikido, a type of martial art. Maybe that's the thing for me, I certainly like it.
But that is about it. It is a matter of character with me, not being defeated by some critic who hasn't done anything worthwhile and feels the urge to blam a game created by a kid with an overactive imagination and driving sense of completion. I have come out of making this game a stronger person, I have learned many things on the way, and I look forward to going and trying new things. I encourage you to do the same.

I actually liked Moovlin PC. It's a shame it has a low score. Yes it can use some improvements but it doesn't deserve a 0.

Look, it wasn't a failure nor was it a success. It was an adventure for me into the world of coding and flash, and that's that. It is there for the people who like it, but for the people who don't, it's a hinder. The reviews were very unjust and not constructive for the most part which leads me to believe that Flash just isn't my thing.
