Just like the real story, this was a disappointment. There were no in-game instructions. How do you puke? What does puking get you? I made it to 10,000ft just so I could get the medal and then quit.

First of all, LEVEL 4 STAR (possible SPOILER):
For those that say it is impossible, you are WRONG. You can only get it if you have lvl 2 jumping. Lvl 1, you can't get up there. Lvl 3, you can't fit under the wall that is in front of the block you need to land on. Strange that once you do get in that upper STAR area, that there are several 5pt coins that can only be reached with lvl 3 jumping. If you have completed the game and are upset b/c you can't get lvl 4 star, don't worry, NOTHING HAPPENS IF YOU GET ALL 14 STARS.
Overall, the game is fun. The controls are easy and responsive, and if you don't like the fact that you can't use the arrow keys and Z+X, all i have to say is, original platformers only had one type of controller too and you get used to it.
For what it is meant to be, the graphics are great. The music is a short repetitive track that is nice the first five times thru or so, but then MUST BE MUTED for reasons pertaining to sanity.
Overall, I gave the game 8/10 and 5/5 (why a jump to 5/5, the game's rating is way too low, had to help boost it up closer to 4.00).
Reasons for 8/10 are:
Great game = 10/10
Definite improvement on music possible= -1
Ending is LAME + NO BONUS for getting all the stars? YTF make them a big deal then?!?!? = -1
10 -1 -1 = 8. (Lucky I did not take off 2pts for the lame ending/lack fo star bonus).

This came AFTER the Armor Picross games? How do you eliminate some of its best features? In Armor Picross, when all the correct boxes in a row or column are filled in, it crosses off the numbers. This game does not have that ability. I have to go back sometimes and count how many boxes i have filled. Annoying. Also, in the other games, you can click and drag to fill a long row. In this game, you must click on each one individually. Annoying. When you go to the menu in Armor Picross, it shows you which puzzles you have already solved. This one does not. Annoying.
I'm sorry but I cannot say that this is a good game since it is essentially a lower quality copy of another game.

"Not sure I was ever interested ..."
So why did I finish the game? To see if it could redeem itself of course. Which it failed at doing.
Graphics: 2/10
Music: 2/10 - Annoying
Gameplay: 1/10 - Bombs that appeared to be nowhere near me still hurt me. WTF was that? The GameMan Game (or w/e it was called) was so easy my 3-year-old niece was able to beat it, I kid you not).
Controls: 3/10 - A & D to go left and right, simple. W to jump??? Aside from the gameman game, where was this necessary?
Concept: 1/10 - At least it had one. But fruits that are obsessed with clocks? WTF!?!

I just stare at the location of the center cup and can track where the correct cup is the whole time. That way I don't have to look back and forth (how a lot of people get dizzy).
No interactives or hidden easter eggs? only 6 for that.

Fun game play. Maybe some various sound effects for different robots being destroyed.
Needs AT LEAST one game mode added. And that would be a PERFECTION mode, where pressing 'R' does not reset the whole game, but merely the level you are on.
I can try level 1 a dozen times before I get a setup that I know will yield a good score. Then I get to level 2, watch the units as they cross the screen, and realize that no matter when I click, I'm only going to get at best about 3/4th of the robots.
Also, different music for each letter grade would be nice, with more intense music the better you are doing.
Overall:
4/5
8/10
Author's Response:
Thanks for the constructive feedback. I really like your idea of ramping up the music style and dynamics as your letter grade increases. That concept could add a good bit of excitement and tension. Also, I totally hear you on the reset and perfection mode comments. When I play currently I have my own criteria on the first 3 levels for what my score needs to be otherwise I reset and try again. It has been interesting to learn what aspects strategy helps but I do feel that there may be just a tad too much randomness in this version. I will be addressing that in any sequel for sure. Thanks again for your thoughts and review.

But I think you forgot to put in enough explosions. how about that overly lengthy shot of rocks falling down the side of the pyramid, or the awesome walkie talkie throw from Josh Duhamel to Tyrese Gibson ... THAT WAS EPIC!!! (At least Michael Bay apparently thought it was). Didn't make enough fun of the obviously African-American twins, a.k.a. the JAR JAR Binks of this movie. I don't think you made enough fun of just how poor an actor John Turturro can be. "I'm going to save the day. I'm going to be a hero. I'm not going to be some guy that gets left out of the sequel. I can't believe I'm getting paid for this!"
I'll give this flash 5/5 and 10/10
T:RotF I'll give a 2/10 (one point for each of Megan Fox' #$@^!)

... if you can keep up. What these types of videos really need is an option to adjust the playback speed. There are so many times when I flat out have no idea how Snowball killed one of the minions.

Doesn't take very long to beat if you rush through it.
Why do people say "I don't know how to kill the darklings!"? It tells you how in the very beginning!!! Once you light up a RUNE stone, you have a white glow for a few seconds. Go back to where you saw those little turds and run into them with your white magic glow. This means, REMEMBER where you saw the darklings so you can quickly go back and kill them when you activate the RUNE.

HOW TO BEAT THE BOSS: Stop Reading if you don't want the BOSS ruined.
The Boss has a simple pattern:
1) Mouth Open on levels 3 and 4 (that's the top level and the one right beneath it)
2) Level 4 (top) with mouth closed. He can NOT take your sparkles with his mouth shut.
3) Mouth OPEN on levels 1 and 2 (that's the two lowest levels).
4) Level 1 and 2 (bottom) with mouth closed. He can NOT take your sparkles with his mouth shut.
So, Take note of this SIMPLE pattern, don't go anywhere near him when his mouth is OPEN, and find those sparkles. As with the other stones, 5 does the trick.
Ending is incredibly short and useless. You can go and collect more mushrooms after you beat the boss.

Question: Where are the 3 switches? I found one that was in a cave that you can see from the outside, where are the other two?
Question: How do you get on top of the shrine that has a treasure chest on it? I've gotten all chests but this one.
Please send me the answer in my inbox if you know the answer to either of these questions.
