needs improvement...
good start, but this is a bit too difficult. the character jumps too far, too fast with the slightest click of the mouse.
this is otherwise a game with a lot of potential. just adjust the settings a bit (or make a difficulty setting--easy, medium, hard) and you should be okay.
not bad at all.
this certainly had a retro feel--not sure if that was your intent or not, but I think it worked. it reminded me a lot of Contra, actually.
I'm not good at games like these, so it didn't keep my attention for long, but I liked what I saw. good work.
great game. :)
I really like this game.
however, a few flaws: there is no way for me to, if I wanted to, start over. on this computer, I'm stuck with having everybody and everything. I'd like to start over for the challenge on occasion.
also, I didn't see anywhere that I could turn off the music or the sound (separately, of course).
other than that, this is a top-notch game. I really enjoy it. :)
good start.
minus the unnecessary harshness, I agree with Furious-B on the reasons why this game is difficult.
however--the graphics are slick, the music is good, and the gameplay idea is great. it's just a little too difficult. ESPECIALLY for easy mode.
my main problem was losing control of the plankton (?) once it got hit by a fish. if you could make that less of an issue, then the gameplay will be a lot easier overall.
eh...
*finishes eating her bratwurst*
*wipes mouth*
as a game, it's okay.
but as a piece of PETA propaganda (seriously guys, try a different tactic than "ZOMG DEAD ANIMALS!"), it reeks to high heaven.
you get one star. because I'm nice like that.
but um... could you be a little less loud about your beliefs? as you can see from the numerous "fuck PETA" comments you're getting, the way you and the rest of the organization are going about it is... how to put it...
fucking annoying.
showing us bloody animals isn't going to make us stop eating meat. scare tactics and shock tactics don't work. especially in this day and age. being preachy doesn't work either--haven't y'all figured that out? (obviously not.)
the more you rant and preach, the more we as a public are going to shun, ignore and/or make fun of you.
I don't know if you consider yourself religious or not, but it's similar to people who get in your face and scream at you about "if you don't accept Jesus, you're goin' to hell!"
them's the facts of life, darlin'. sorry.
a classic, hands down
I can remember playing this when Newgrounds was relatively unknown and only beginning to gain fame from its Assassin section.
I still like to play this even now. this game is truly a classic, and a great boredom killer.
um...
you mention a "build tab" in the tutorial.
WHAT build tab? I don't see any build tab to speak of.
that aside, not bad.
a great classic
I'm rating this based on how I liked it when I first saw it (and it was still fairly new). this flash was, then, very much an entertaining one, and I still enjoy it from time to time now. :)
very well done and a big help for noobs.
the main thing that has me hooked to your submission is the Zelda song with the drumbeat added to it. that's got little to nothing to do with the actual FLASH, but I just wanted to say, firstly (before I go into the flash itself) that the song is very lovely. who did it, what is the title of it, and where can I find it?
okay.. that's done, so now onto the actual flash content.
tutorials may not be "actual movies/games" like some people say, but they are a necessity, especially here on Newgrounds where people spit out crap instead of taking the time to learn how to use Flash properly and give us something worth watching.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of this from you--this is very well done and is going to be a big help to me once I actually start being brave enough to start making flashes of my own, so I thank you madly from the bottom of my little heart for making it.
The music is all credited in the credits sequence (which can be paused). There's also a direct link in one of the easter eggs (look in the masking section). The music clip in question is from a remix done by Trinity over on ocremix.org called "The Goddess Appears".
sound problems
if you can fix the sound--make it quieter--then this game will be just fine. either that, or give us an option to turn it off.
otherwise, this is a decent game. good job.
hooray for gobstoppers.
