Reviews for "The Pick of Destiny"

Keep trying buddy :)
No rhythm
It threw me off with that fact that the rhythm of the music didn't sync up correctly with the rhythm of the arrows. I'd hit the correct key in time with the rhythm and it would be just off enough to be too early or late... was too difficult to get the feel of the game taking that into account. otherwise.. it was alright.
LilDwarf responds:
Why is it that some say it's perfectly synced and others say it isn't? It just proves that you are unable to follow the beat correctly and you blame the game and not yourself who you should really blame.
Decent At Best
Alright, so this game was... Well, like the title of this review says, decent at best. The actual game (DDR/FFR/Guitar Hero type, whatever) is done a lot, and so the only chance you have to redeem yourself is the concept/story, the songs you chose, and how well made it was overall.
As for the story, I thought it was pretty good. Kind of unique, and the picks were entertaining. The songs you used were good, especially considering you could only use stuff from the audio portal. As for how well it was made overall... There were problems.
First off, it was REALLY easy on the whole, but also extremely frustrating. A lot of the time the arrows didn't seem to be in sync with the music, and didn't really line up correctly with the arrows (If that makes sense).
Basically, a lot of the time I found myself trying to figure out where the beat of the arrows would hit, and a lot of the time I found myself trying to press the arrow a second before the arrow actually made it to the arrow it was going to overlap.
I only failed once, and that was on the armor games pick. The reason for this is probably because that song has a lot of arrows in close proximity, and a weird glitch happens (Or at least it happened to me) if you screw up. I missed one arrow, and suddenly I was stuck. I was pressing the correct arrows at the correct time, but every single one was coming up as a miss. Not even "too late" or "too early," just all misses, but they were disappearing as I was pressing!
All in all this is really just a decent game. It's not horrible, it has a good concept and fun music to play along with, but it can get pretty annoying, and it's really easy to just beat - even the 'secret key pick.' And also, the secrets aren't really worth unlocking. I mean I don't really want to play through a game so I can unlock random factoids. Although I guess I found the last one about how to get inducted into the museum interesting.
So yeah, good work, and it was pretty good, but it was nothing amazing.
LilDwarf responds:
Hahaha ok thanks for the review.
This isn't your contest to win
Alright, I played the game up to the Pick of Destiny, then gave up. The arrows and the music are out of sync BIG TIME throughout the whole game, especially in the end. If you wanna win a contest on Newgrounds, try making the children's game.
LilDwarf responds:
Now that you mention it, I might do that children's game :S
wtf
its fukin hard
