Reviews for "Howmonica"
Loved it. The presentation was spot on, and the design, while it's like VVVVVV but you can invert in the air, it's pretty nice.
The only thing I didn't like it's like most levels I felt had more than necessary boxes to paint. And in some you always have some boxes around you that you have to first paint to then begin the level. This get's pretty annoying when you repeat a level over and over.
Pretty cool!

Thank you so much! :) I understand the complaint about having to paint boxes around you. I intended it to be kind of an aesthetic thing. A set of blocks around you looks (and, I think, feels) better than just one. It's also easier to slam into a spike by mistake when there's only one or two blocks underneath you. I get what you're saying, though. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Glad you enjoyed it overall! :)
A game requiring skill indeed!
The graphics are decent, the music never got annoying and the sound effects were bang on. The gameplay was simply amazing. Like a game requiring skill, you never quite master a level in one go until you've beaten it! Alot of the time I was wanting to punch a hole through my monitor because each try I'd do worse and worse. Which to me is an awesome thing because beating a level after losing a dozen times feels sooo good.
This game had alot of levels and you kept it very interesting all the way. I found this game to be challenging yet beatable which makes this game just amazing!
TheSpydog responds:
No doubt, it requires some serious skill! :) Glad you liked it so much! Thanks a bunch!
Oh jeez, I thought level 30 was gonna be the last one. Then you introduce a new obstacle after that? I think I've had enough.
TheSpydog responds:
Well alright. If you stick with it, there are several easier levels to provide a rest from the beast that is Level 30. You're over halfway there, you might as well beat it! But in any case, thanks for playing that far! :)
Not too difficult, but not incredibly easy. It's not a fantastic game, but the only complaint I have is that level 50 is incredibly boring and easy to complete. Seriously, level 49 was quite challenging, but I beat the last level on my first try.
TheSpydog responds:
Thanks! As for Level 50, I see what you're saying. Here's the thing about Level 50: it's very simple. Some people (like you) can beat it instantly. Other people have a ton of difficulty with it. It requires a mastery of flipping and timing skills. Personally, sometimes I can beat it instantly but other times it takes me many tries to win. So it varies quite a bit. Sorry it disappointed you, but on the other hand, that means that you obviously mastered the controls! :)
