Another fantastic but criminally short skears game
Author Comments
Touch purple skears and avoid the red ones.
After a long time, I have done what you all asked for - put music into the game.
It's all played by me on the keyboard, so if you have any specific criticisms to make of the music (e.g. it's too fast etc.) tell me and I'll be able to sort it out for the next game.
The targets are a little more lenient his time and there are 5 levels again, 2 of which need to be unlocked.
Also, there's now an in-game explanation of the score.
As always, I really look forward to reading any reviews. If you have any suggestions or criticisms - if there's anything you think should be changed - please tell me.
Together, we can hopefully make this series better and better.
By the way, my personal high score is 120065. I'll be interested to hear what your final scores were...
One last thing - has anyone actually read this long commentary?
The graphics are fine, but this game is all about your skills. How far can you make it to beating the high score? I did notice the learning curve as the game increased its difficulty. Adding sound was the right move.
Wooo
Another interesting update to a great game. :P Simple and addicting, as always, great stuff. Couldbn't beat your highscore unfortunatly, heh, it's insane. Keep up the good work!

As the instructions indicate, the scores are all about keeping the multiplier going. If you let over a second pass without collecting a skear, the multiplier drops back down and you've basically missed your chance to attain the target.
Tips - don't collect the first skear straight away. collect it at the last possible moment, wait, collect the next skear etc.
- if there are, say, 4 skears available to collect, don't collect them all at once. Collect one, wait half a sec, collect the 2nd and so on. this way you can give yourself more time so the next group of skears comes on-screen and you can keep the multiplier up.
OH MA GAWD THERE IS SOUND >:O
Haha, even though it was pretty annoying music, it was there. Which is a good move XD haha. The sound effect for hitting the purple skears was good, and I finished up with over 100,000 in the end after the bonus rounds - which were better than last time.
Overall, it's the same cruddy style of game as the others, and basically no changes have been made to it apart from the music.
Certainly needed to get rid of that purple font, increase the quality of the graphics, etc.

Thanks for another great review. As usual with great reviews, my only piece of constructive criticism is to give even more. But I thank you for all you have given.
Stay funky,

Pretty good
Still this game was kind of short, but it is quite challenging to get the extra stage. Seemed like no matter how hard I tried I can't get the target score for the second level. Nice music and sound effects. Could have used a little more challenge in beating the normal levels, they were way too easy just to beat.
AcidDimensions responds:
Praise, criticism and an opening summary all exist.
Nice work.
My only criticism now is the length.
A solid review though.
5/10
Thanks.
