Reviews for "FireFlies"

Good.

Very good, and I didn't think I would even make it through all 15 levels, but I did, and only about 15-20 min to do it. Maybe I am just lucky, but even then this was fun for the little bit I played it.

A game like this..

i would of gave it a 8 or so but a game like this is with persion, you can either add more white balls to fire instead of having just two or fix the flies movement/death to a decent speed. the flies die and i want it to catch the others but it randomly moves out of the way and the animation goes a little slow *sad face*.

but very decent game

ps: sorry for the bad grammer or spelling its like 4:14am in the morning lol i'm going to sleep.

Fun and hard but infuriating...

I really enjoyed the difficulty and the gentle learning curve, but there were a few irritating problems that subtracted 3 from my rating.

For one, the delay before you are able to release the fireball is way too long and shouldn't even be there for two reasons:
1. More times than I can count I saw the perfect shot that would win the level, but couldn't do anything about it until the flies all scattered randomly.
2. In a "try & try & try" game like this, you want to be able to make another attempt as soon as possible. Snazzy alpha-transparency fade effects just add to frustration the 30th time you try a level.

Another problem I had was with the collision detection. There were several times I could have made the case that I got robbed. When the ball splits, some random pieces trigger explosions and some don't. There is no apparent difference between these segments and no reason for this to happen.

Also, the bouncing off of walls is too chaotic. Since the flies all move randomly, fireballs bouncing off of walls should be predictable and repeatable. This would add a valuable balance to the game.

I agree with the previous reviewers about the lack of an ending. I don't like to spend a good 2 or 3 hours playing a game only to be told I'm inadequate.

I have to add a big THANK YOU for allowing me to turn off the sound. The music is great at first, but not after you've been stuck for half an hour on level 14.

wayy too hard but really fun

took me about 3 hours total to go through all 15 levels. its really really really really really hard but i like it :D

Great game... no ending

I stayed throughtout it trying again and again to see an ending of tons of explosions... and then I just get 'You didn't make it in the weekly alltime records' and above that just the words Congratualations you win... Pleaase get a good ending for a challenging game like that, otherwise it was fun, for those thinking it is too hard, keep trying and remember that they move around. Wait and strike, and on complicated levels, take a few shots to figure out how it bounces off. Though there was no ending, I loved lvl 15. You need a lvl selection to unlock.
