Pwong sucess story (and music!)

So, one Month after release Pwong reached over a million plays on the whole web.

Here’s a list of some major achievements:

03/19/2009: Pwong was released on Newgrounds. First it’s score was around a 3.6 so I was a bit disappointed, but then over night it rose to a 4.0.
03/20/2009: Pwong is awarded the “Daily 3rd Place” on Newgrounds. So it spread out to some sites, but nothing spectacular.
03/21/2009: Pwong got frontpaged on Newgrounds. And then everything kicked in, a lot of popular sites like notdoppler and bubblebox added it. Also the score rose to a 4.2 .
03/25/2009: Pwong is the weekly 3rd best game on Newgrounds, which lead to it being played even more. It once even got 100’000 plays in a single day.
03/27/2009: Pwong has been played over half a million times around the web.
04/14/2009: Pwong went live on Armor Games.
04/15/2009: Pwong reaches ONE MILLION plays around the whole web!!

Also a lot of people have been e-mailing me about the song used in the game. The song is a Popcorn remix by the talented EON. You can listen to it and download it here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/133937

I already started developing the second one, and I hope to release it by the end of next week. Here’s of screenshot of the menu I have to far:

    What is the music? It sounds so familiar, but I can’t quite place it.

    Hey, superb game. I have been addicted to it and play it like once a day! Great graphics, song choice and everything. I agree that a downloadable version would be legendary but I’m sure there’s only so much you’re willing to work for free for. Keep up the good work!

    Could you possibly make the game available for download with a fullscreen option? all too often my mouse will stray just under the game and make me miss a ball :(
