[Ongaku]

Classy. Great Character, Great Game.

I absolutly love Ongaku! The gameplay is original (no more mashing the keyboard) and your choice of music reflects the overall story.

One problem I had was the amount of picture that remains uncolored even with 99% accuracy, it's like "You want to get it completely colored? You gotta be hardcore, no 99% for you!"

Another was getting perfects, the way you can just scoop up the notes was great, but the little delay on getting a perfect note becomes impossible to deal with on the harder songs.

The add your own picture part was ingenious in everyway, I played a song with a VG cats wallpaper background and I was blown away with the sheer awesomeness of it all.

I like your character Ongaku, but if you bring it to console, I'd really like to see some character development from him, you know what his name means? Is she male or female? Does he spend his spare time just hanging out with Harmony, or just going around making music? It would be really cool if she could talk, just to help add a layer of depth to her.

And last don't you think it would be cool to have an online multiplayer mode? you know like 2 or 3 diffrent people all doing their own beats to make up a single song, like the upcoming Xbox360 game Rock Band.

Anyway It's a great game, hope you win Rock out contest.

OMG This game is made of GOD AND WIN! #101 review

This game is fucking RADICAL!

Really, on the negative side It was kind of hard for my pc to play without slowdown even with low quality, but I won't hold that against you.

But the best thing about this game is the sound test unlockable and the win/lose messages, really the whole "go play final fantasy since you suck so much" minute long rant is the BEST GAME OVER EVER.

[Mardek Rpg: Chapter 1]

Totally awesome

Wow, where to start. first off this is one of the best flash-made RPGS I've played in a while, the mixing of sprites and vector art is awesome, and when I noticed that everyones facial expressions change during the conversation I was like "holy shit this guy is serious". Your own music is fantastic and it fits the moods.

Plot wise, during the start with the dragon it was awesome, you reaction system makes the game better in that your not just sitting there waiting for things to happen,

The way the heroes were talking seemed immature but I never saw THAT plot twist coming, I just kept laughing about it!

Anyway now I'm wondering is the main character gonna make it out of this alive? Because so far he looks screwed.

Anyway great game!

Ah, and someone finally mentioned the expressive avatars, too! I really like those myself, but nobody else commented on them at all... Hm.
Thanks for the good review though!

[Spectrum]

Didn't feel like a rhythm game...

I just don't think it does the genre justice, I say this because during this game you have to collect the green beats with the mouse... THATS IT.

I think that it should of been a kind of button presser, or at least make the green beats fall in time with the song, since during this all i did was sit there and move the mouse around while a song played in the background.

Don't get me wrong, this is clearly a well made game with great visuals, but for a rock out contest entry, I felt like i did less "rocking out" and more sitting there and looking at a screen while trying to move the mouse to the right spots and hoping to avoid the dreaded "strobe" powerup.

Wicked Cycon!

Funniest game idea ever! The chatting as you went was a nice touch, and overall this game kicks ass, I wish you could evade easier though seeing as I got bitchslapped to death in the black hole...

Sweet game anyways!

[A cup of cursors]

Long text was clever

Well to start off nice choice on music, something new to hear finally!

all your cusors were unique none like the other. (incoming kicked ass though)

and to answer your long text yes, I did vote 5 :)

[Pico's Surprise Party]

Your right, ending RULES

I love you and hate you for the ending of that. Mostly love.

happy P day!

[Gateway II]

A work of storytelling art.

Wow this was one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. When I beat it I saw how the enviroment and the objects all started to make sense when it came to the overall plot... the piano music was cool too. Overall all I can say is that this needs it's own console game or something...

[Santa in Hell]

A solid reminder of Oddworld.

great to see another game like this, it gets really chalenging but it's fun.

[BR's Rocket Rush]

Another BR game? Win!

Man these games rock! one thing I noticed though was that BR had a really good onboard AI backing him up, it's little details like this that make your games kick so much ass.

rad one out.

The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Yeah I think the AI comments really give the game an arcade feel, and stops Blue Rabbit from being lonely ^_^
