"Could use improving..."

by: SAROTH
date: March 9, 2008

The key combinations were a bring-down on the game acpect. It would've been quite a bit better without that. However, I did like the graphics, and you get an award for being the first to put Heaven's Rave in a game, the greatest song NG has ever seen. Death Ecstasy is really good too.

Well, other than the key combonations, a pretty solid game. 7/10, 4/5.

Thanks for the review and thanks for playing! Just so ya' know, you can play in 'Basic' mode, which only includes Red, Blue Green (Q, W, E), Black (nothing), and White (everything)...so, that removes the 'combination' =D!

the only issue i had with it is having to remember which combination of keys brought up which color, maybe have an in game legend to help remember which was what for the first couple levels or even just the first level.

"You are an awesome person indeed..."

date: March 6, 2008

...but this game is slightly less than that.

1. Load and play (though the gaming monkey logo came out more than once.)
2. Great concept
3. The flash was smooth and beautiful
4. The controls were kinda clunky, and remembering all that combination just wasn't my thing.

Overall: little to complain, but the the game isn't really that user-friendly (to me at least!) keep up the good work bros!

Thanks for the play and the review!

In order...

1. First was sponsor's preloader, second was their actual 'intro'
2. Thanks a lot :D! I've been wanting to make this game for a little while now, and it's cool to see people enjoying the concepts.
3. Again, thanks for the praise -- smooth gameplay and UI makes games that much more enjoyable...which leads to 4...
4. I know, this seems to be the complaint among a lot of people...to be fair on our end, there IS a 'basic' mode, which only uses 5 colors (no combination, just Q, W, and E, all, or none -- Red, Blue, Green, Black, White), but yes -- I do understand your frustrations...but I can't think of a single way to make the controls more...friendly, there's the bare minimum to do exactly what needs to be done...*sigh*, well, perhaps more beta testing and people input will make these things easier to the end product.

"No..."

by: Kajenx
date: March 6, 2008

I didn't like it at all. It was very confusing and near impossible for a beginner. An overcomplexified version of an overdone concept. I really don't have any ideas for improvement. No big, though, you obviously have okay AS skills and the game looked nice, it just wasn't a good concept.
