You sir, are teh win.
What can I say? I don't know why everyone else seems to not like this game, its got great catchy music and a cool retro style. Whats not to like? yes its hard. What old games wern't? Yes its a bit on the frustrateing side when you can't save in the boss fight. But those, and the fact I can't have the last song which is the best, aside. Great game! Almost beat it! but there is only so much one can do at 2 am.
People have no taste.
Glass Fish Rhythm is a game that is as unique as it is stylish. The graphics are beautiful, and the gameplay is something that we haven't seen in a long time, if ever. Excellent design and music make this an entertaining experience. It's a shame that people can't appreciate controls that are intentionally slippery to make the game take more thought. I guess instant gratification has taken its toll.
Very nice game!
~ Animation ~
All of the animation was very smooth. Barely did the game ever lag for me, but when it did there were a few parts where it really did me in and I ran into something. :P
~ Graphics ~
I liked the sprite/8-Bit type of feel that you get from the graphics. Everything was drawn out very well and I don't have any complaints about anything with the art work.
~ Content ~
I might break this subject down into a couple of different parts so it doesn't get too cluttered. My overall view on the game that it was hard at first, but once you got into it the game was really easy. It kept me coming back and once you get the rhythm down (hmm, I wonder why it's called that?) the game is really easy and enjoyable.
The idea for the game is really original. It's not only your classic avoid things while the screen moves game, but it actually has a deep story behind it. I suggest that everyone watch the scenes and not skip them to understand the game that you are playing! Not only that though, you have finally explained the reason why you die when you hit something. In most games you just hit the wall and you die for no reason, but obviously there is a reason in this game as you are made of glass.
The medals give it a really nice feel and keep you coming back to play the game again. The really fun medal was the one that you got for gathering all of the in game achievements! Those are the best kind by far. If you were to double the amount of achievements then you could of added even more fun to this game for people like me. :)
There is a small glitch where if you pause the game during the last boss fight then his fire balls will go right through you and continue off of the screen. It can really help when the fire balls are being shot a bunch at a time or from the top of the screen down, but you might want to fix it so people can't take the easy way out in the end. :(
I think you set the game up (if you were to make a sequel) very well for the story. You could also set it up with a money system where you place things of value in dangerous spots in the game. If they collect these things then between levels they can buy upgrades such as more lives, faster movement, a gun that you can take enemies out with, etc..
~ Audio ~
The audio really adds a lot to this game. Some games use the audio well, but the way you synced up the animation on the screen with the sounds of the music was amazing! It really made the game fun and helped during gameplay as it gave you some tips and clues. Sound effects were also good.
~ Overall ~
One of my favorite medal games. A little challenging at first, but after you get the hang of it then it's quite fun. I think you set it up for a sequel if you wanted to and you could really add a lot of new features to a sequel submission such as this.
Difficult but entertaining.
This was a neat game,the gameplay was fun trying to dodge all the obstacles & walls though the control took a while getting used to,the music was awesome and went very well with the game so overall the game was hard but fun at the same time.
