Umm what? The animation is cool but this isn't even a game.
Reviews for "Icarus"
SPOILER
I like the way the birds fly away when you go too high, and you think "Should I go back down and catch some more birds?" and then you think "Nah, I want to see what else I can find if I keep going up" and you KNOW you're most likely going to burn but you still do it because you want to SEE it yourself. It kinda made me feel like Icarus himself. I don't know if that's what you were planning when you desinged the game. Probably yes, and you lied about the "no hidden metaphors" part. Well, it's not actually "hidden", and it isn't an actual metaphor either, but it does have a meaning, which seems to be a very unusual thing for a flashgame lately. Plus, I love Greek mythology.
In short, I was impressed. Very nice game, short and meaningful. 5 minutes well spent.
Thank you :)
For a 5th place game, this game was really good albeit very basic. I too liked the bird passengers.
Good job on this one!
I don't know why, but when this mutha was the funniest shit eva when those birds joined for the ride.
You are a funny guy, man.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Well at first I was like don't tell me what to do! Then I was water. Restart! Then I was like let's try up and not down. Boring....boring...boring...BIRD! BAM out of nowhere I was mounted. Then I became bird. More wild birds appear!! 3 birds and then I AM BIRD! Im soaring and stuff as BIRD. Then some evil clouds come by and I'm no longer BIRD...I am plane again..it just wasn't the same. So I went higher and higher looking for maybe another way to be BIRD again. No such luck. Then all the sudden I am Space and Space alone. Then it all went wrong when I caught fire. 5/5 good game
