Wow! I can't believe how far our little Human Centipede game has crawled on its hands and knees. I'm absolutely floored by this. In the past 24 hours, the game has been part of a virtual media firestorm. It seems like all the major sites I visit, including my favorite horror and gaming news sites, have plugged it recently. Definitely didn't expect to see coverage of the game in the New York Times, the Boston Herald, or LA Weekly either. Super excited that Dieter Laser (the surgeon gone mad in the film), Akihiro Kitamura (the front of the centipede), and IFC have already commented on the game too. Who knows... maybe they'll even include a copy of the game on the Human Centipede DVD when it comes out. Tom Six, IFC... if any of you are reading this and would like to talk about including the game on the DVD, please email me.
I'm just glad to see people playing our little parody of the classic Centipede arcade game and I hope it results in people trying out some of our other games too. I've said it before and I'll say it again - there's no web-related task I enjoy more than making comedic Flash games. Also, much credit goes to my friend Jacob (or "Mew" as he's known here on I-Mockery) who worked on the game with me and did an excellent job coding it so this parody would be as close to the original Centipede as possible.
Of course, I also have to thank my buddy Tom Fulp over at Newgrounds for all his support of the game and for promoting it on the site extensively. He's believed in just about every game we've ever made, and that kind o' support goes a long way. I strongly recommend playing the game on Newgrounds too, because we added an assortment of achievement medals to the game to make it that much more fun and challenging.
Again, many thanks to all of you who've been telling your friends about the game. Can't tell ya how much we appreciate the support!
Hit the jump for a big (and ever-growing) thank you list to just some of the people and sites that have covered it already:

Holy crap, Batman! Looks like this game is one of the most famous ones you've ever made. And for good reason, too; it's amazing! ^_^
dextire on 05/25/2010 4:17 pm
Congratulations! And you're currently getting reamed on Newgrounds!
A sure sign of an extremely popular game. :)
BatmanJohnson on 05/25/2010 5:31 pm
I love it, its hilarious and challenging.
ColdFusion (Guest) on 05/25/2010 6:05 pm
You totally deserve it.
However, I must say you deserve it a lot MORE for some of the more elaborate games you've done in the past! This is an awesome site for all kinds of retro pixely cooljazz.
Julio on 05/25/2010 9:29 pm
This is an honor I would have expected to see since the day of Ivan Drago: Justice Enforcer.
HeroliciousDeBlanc on 05/26/2010 12:45 am
As long as i-Mockery gets its just desserts
caffman on 05/26/2010 7:03 am
nick frost and sinon pegg from shaun of the dead are also going on about "human centipede"
Jigby Huggletinks on 05/26/2010 2:57 pm
Boy, I can't wait until it's on eBaum's world with no credit.

RAWK!!!

Hey guys, my name is Justin from HorrroBid.com, read this and we had to post it up. What a brilliant idea for such a twisted movie. Keep up the great work!
Just Ami on 05/26/2010 10:05 pm
Dude! That's awesome, -Rog-! It's about damn time the rest of the world started to pay attention to the snazzy and creative games that can be found here.
matty (Guest) on 05/26/2010 10:30 pm
Sweet game. Surprised you found our review of it. Keep up the good work, baller.

I thought that was pretty awesome as well.
NotDavid on 05/27/2010 10:44 am
It's always great to see a new i-mockery flash game because it seems like you must a blast making them.
KEEP IT ROCKING, ROG.
Killian (Guest) on 05/28/2010 12:07 pm
Awesome, I read about this game and didn't even realize it was an imockery original. Congrats!
Zombie-man (Guest) on 05/28/2010 6:22 pm
Congratulations dude!! i hope that this means more trafic to the site!
Also, is really cool to have made one of ´´those things`` that become popular in the net!
EmptyEnergy on 05/29/2010 7:07 am
Congratulations again! Its awesome to see how much recognition your game has got.
I can't wait for the Human Centipede: Second Sequence game!
nomadHAR (Guest) on 06/05/2010 12:47 am
congrats! perhaps visitors will give Domo-kun or Trick-or-Treat Adventure Quest a try.

Rudy Coby (the magician who works with Marilyn Manson) Loves the film and loves the game as well. They recently had group viewings of the film and so it's a pretty sure bet that your game's been played by MM himself! Check out their Facebook feed.
