this is simply riddled with bugs and bad game design choices. i'm sorry this could not be more overrated.

Dark06Star responds:
umm.. Thank you? lol
I just love how most people judge this as if this game was made by professional video-game designers.. But it's not...
Anyway, this is your opinion and I appreciate it :3
I kept missing the text because it would go by too fast. I might have been holding down a key at the time which skips it (since I'd been holding it in the level I was playing before the text appeared), but if it's that easy to miss what is apparently the only good part of the game, it's kind of annoying.
Dark06Star responds:
Umm... but the you can just read the text as many times as you want after the characters finished talking. o:
I don`t even know if it can be a bug, but when you get double jump, you can press (W) and (UP) at the same time and the character will jump throught the half of the map....thats why you can just jump over the fence. And in the some levels you can jump throught the edge of the map
Dark06Star responds:
But... why press (W) and (UP) at the same time ... Or even go outside the map.. doesn't really make sense O.o
-1 for bad gameplay, especially hit detection. (Refer to the Company of Myself and its sequel, Fixation for the definition of smooth gameplay)
-1 for stealing music. (Normally it's a deadly -5 sin, but I admire your taste. You have still disappointed Nagi, though) (Refer to the NG movie Lilium for how to credit the music, at least)
-1 for a snail-pace dialogue speed. (Refer to Air Pressure or Phantom Seed for a good speed)
-1 for ****'s sake, Y U NO compress (Refer to Snow Snow for Lucy)
-0.5 for a half-kitsch story (Refer to RPG Shooter: Starwish for a good story)
-0.4 for lacking a replay button
+2 for creating good atmosphere. Not many flash games care about atmosphere anymore.
-0.1 for not using spellcheck.
-0 because this game and Heat reminds me of my pain when I was studying Wuthering Heights. Even the girls' names are similar.
I, personally, do not think this deserves frontpage, but I believe NG admins' tastes. It shows that you have aptitude. My humble suggestion would be, learn how to program flash games nicely, or just do visual novels like Air Pressure.
Cheers and stay beautiful.
Dark06Star responds:
I didn't steal the music. I never claimed they were mine, yet I didn't just take the music I did some editing to them -.-, also it's not like I am making money out of other peoples work. And I did compress as much as I could, so that too.. I'm sorry you don't like the game. It's not for everyone I guess ^^.
*Ahem* Time to give a huge critic.
I am a huge fan of Key's VN's as it seems you are because of you using their songs in your games. I was ok with that as you had given credit for that, though I can not forgive that you had taken a backround without saying so (in your comments as usual) from one of their games. Also the hit boxes were still too big, there is no roof and you can jump over objects by going off screen.
I was very disappointed with the terrible backrounds that were nothing but a powerpoint backround hue. The game text transitions went by fast and were not click activated as to give time to reader to read them (they went by without me being able to read it). and the game was also very very long without enough play. The time for that would've been reduced had there been a way to speed up text appearance. There was also no level/stage select so if you had gotten stuck (which I almost did several times) you would've had to restart.
I will say that the story is one of a kind but would've been better in a different game type. If you just wanted to tell a story you would've had a better chance making a simple VN that is static. For the many of terrible fails this had I have to give this a 2, and I expect a fix from this.
