That was the most fun I've had playing a flash game in a very, VERY long time. The graphics were as retro, cute and clear as they needed to be, the levels were challenging without being pretentious (The final level.

Oh dear lord do you need to have climbed up that difficulty curve to clear THAT one!

Good luck! It's totally worth it, not for the ending, but for having beaten it legitimately, and having had fun the whole time.

Thank you, Mr. TheSpyDog. You are all shades of awesome. Never stop making games, and the whole world will continue to benefit from your awesome level design, themes, and addicting gameplay.

4.5 Stars. I knocked off .5 because (SPOILER)! STOP READING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COMPLETE IT!

The end is so sombre. Silence over credits. It would have been great to actually HAVE an ending, but to be honest, you know what they say. In game design, it's the journey there, not the arrival.

I will definitely be looking at the other games you have made!

TheSpydog responds:

Thanks so much! :D I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. And thanks for that encouragement! I plan on making games for as long as I can. :)

Yeah, I agree. I wish the ending could have been better. Even just a music loop would have been great. However - and this might sound kind of bad - by the time I made the ending, I was really just wanting to get the game finished as soon as possible. I didn't have any extra music tracks to use for it, and so I just kept it quiet. My apologies for disappointing you with that.

This is actually the best flash game I have played in the past few years. It's challenging, but not frustrating, and that about sums it up. The controls are smooth, the graphics are nice, and the sound is rewarding. A very good detail was the highlighting of the death spin, which killed you. It reduced the frustration a lot. At first it seemed pretty easy, but the difficulty curve was the best I've ever seen. There's not a single thing I could complain about: 5 stars! (Don't remember when I last gave them.)

TheSpydog responds:

Oh wow, thank you! :) I'm really glad you noticed the spike highlighting. That's one of my favorite details about the game, haha. So happy you enjoyed it!

This game proves you don't need a new idea to be a great game (This is obviously alot like VVVVVV). Good job.

TheSpydog responds:

Thanks!
