Hard, but very well made
It's very well made.
Atmospheric.
The music is great.
I wish I could give you suggestions for improvement. I found this game hard. Maybe there's something for you in there.
Reviews for "Transcripted"
Shiny
Woah, very shiny graphics, how did you make them?
Adobe After Effects or something?
Music gives a nice atmosphere, the game runs smoothly and is pretty challenging.
Maybe a bit too much puzzle for my taste, but I'd love to see more shooters in a similar style!

Thanks
The graphics are mostly precalculated 3D (background, monsters, canals, cubes). The rest of the FXs are pure flash vector animations. There are a lot of Flash filters everywhere so bitmap caching and blitting is involved to make it run smoothly.
Its EXTREMELY hard... I like it...
Nice game, man...

Music...
Phenomenal
Genre mashups are either a welcome breath of fresh air or completely broken, most times. This one is most assuredly the former. I also really appreciate the difficulty - It wasn't enough to hamper my enjoyment, but it kept me jumping and interested.
This is a completely amazing project for a 'First small project made in a short amount of time'. I can't wait to see what this studio rolls out in the future!
Krobill responds:
Thanks for the nice words.
To clarify the phrase you quote (First small project made in a short amount of time), I must say this version of Transcripted took approximately 20 days of work for one person. It is actually quite old now because we did it last summer.
Since then, we did contract jobs in advertising to pay the rent and another game prototype. We don't brag too much about it : it was starting from a good idea I think but we kinda messed things and it didn't ended as we hoped. Major game design flaws, not that fun. We just recently got the idea to fix it so hopefuly, when we finish what we're doing now, we will make a fun game from it.
