"A slight Forkheads rip-off, but very well-done."
First off, you probably have enough reviews pleading you to make a better ending in your sequel, so I won't waste any time on begging for that (just voting for it).
As for style, well, it's very reminiscient of the Forkheads, with the added little gameplay feature. The tone is almost pure Forkheads, but they are a very influential team so I won't hold it against you for borrowing from them. The dialogue is certainly a little less over-the-top than the Forkheads dialogue, and I can appreciate that (while you were at it, though, you might have dropped the drug references too, if only because that's one of the few trademarks of the Forkheads games that I really don't like).
Gameplay was good, I was very surprised how well you detailed the SNES-quality controls of the game with all the little references to the game series, that was excellent. The game did have a few glitches but nothing game-stopping. One thing I did notice was that every time I got into a random fight, after the fight was over the music automatically switched back to the default tone.
The graphics were spectacular. I like how you had a lot of different artists helping you, I don't envy having to get all of them to work with you, but the result was fantastic, with a very varied style. Keep it up, if you make that your own trademark (all great artists have trademarks, flash gaming is no different) you'll make some excellent work.
I enjoyed all the cultural references. Ernest Hemingway? In your own words, o_0 . Why him, incidentally, are you a fan of his? I liked "The Old Man and the Sea," but apart from that I haven't read much of his.
Overall, an excellent game, especially since you say this was the first one you programmed. I'd never heard of you before this (I haven't been back to newgrounds in a while, forgive me), and I have to say this makes me want to check out more of your work.
Overall, one of my faves so far.

I'm afraid I have no idea what Forkheads is. Any similarity is purely coincidental @__@ I'm glad the glitches didn't stop ou from playing :D As for Ernest Hemmingway, I guess I'm a fan...but I used him because that sprite looks just like him haha
Be sure to check out my future games and animations if you like my style! :D

Um, kinda boring, I played for about 10 minutes and had all 6 girls, and once all of them are on my "chicklist" nothing else happened with them. Oh, and not to have sex on the brain, but either put in some nudity or take it out of the "Mature" section and put it in the everyone-friendly section. I don't know why you thought this was for adults only...

by the time i made this entry there wasnt even a choice to categorize movies yet, someone just randomly categorized my game as mature.
