It is pretty good, I really liked it

Your game rocks, I've played it for over half an hour I think, that rarely happens for me.
Good job !

Very well done. Although I personally didn't stumble upon the issues other people have, it did keep me hooked and I enjoyed watching how each piece of the game worked so well with one another from the programming perspective. :)

I'm not really sure about how much I should say about the game, but the amount of bugs that somehow still ended up in the final version is extremely disappointing. I've had maybe 30 people test the game, a few of those by using the paid service from FGL, which is waaaay more than I usually have because I expected there to be some bugs I missed. Still, there are way too many issues/glitches left. No real deal-breakers I think, but I can't say I'm happy with the finished result either. Poor design and a too complex project for me.

Shut up Xeptic, your game was amazing :D I wouldn't be surprised if it was up for a tank award next year, I started playing at around 3:10pm today and kept playing without doing anything else until about 6:20 when I went for tea, then i came back and kept going ! I think it would make a great DS/iPhone game and I would love it if you could make an even bigger one for desktop, I thought there was the occasional thing that could have been fixed and the scoreboards annoyed me but overall Its a 9.5/10, great game. *Applause* also i think there have been few flash games that have been able to pull this genre off as well as this, even fewer have ever gotten the attention they deserve. And your modesty only makes me love you more for it.

Lolololol

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found that a little funny.

How can I use this to my advantage?

Quiet, Switzerland!

Xeptic, what I liked about your game was that it was AMBITIOUS.

Often, and I'm guilty of this, we're content with sticking to what we know, just because we know we can pull it off without glitches. (I can code a beatemup engine in my sleep for example)

When you do something that stretches your limits it expands your imagination and abilities in ways that, by far, offset the few glitches, bad reviews, and possible unpopularity of the result.

Doing a project that is challenging tends to re-invigorate your love and passion for coding (or whatever) and reminds you why you love what you're doing.

Each successive project from you will get more honed and refined, so keep pushing yourself! I look forward to seeing what you come out with next.

Amen to that. The last project I worked I thought was bug free, but when I exported it the sound fucked up. It worked perfectly when I tested it in Flesh but as soon as I exported it the sound stop working. Why? I don't know. It's fucking bullshit.

This is precisely the reason I recommend tools other than Flash. The reason so much work is wasted is very much the fault of the program.

Part of being a better programmer is to 'plan it out', but also to just use good tools.

Card Fraud

Just got a call from my bank, apparently my account details have been compromised and someone tried to use it yesterday to make a number of purchases. Luckily for me my bank stopped the transactions so I'm not out of pocket at all. Anyone else been victim to any credit/identity theft?

Any idea how it happened?

None at all, but they said it was been used by some American vendor so Luis' post looks all the more suspect!

Be careful what you do on the Interwebz and how much you trust...even Google!
