One of the most awesome thing's I've seen here

Extremely well done opening sequence, however, it was a little too long.
The special effects and rendering were perfect, except for the little sliver on the right where the "widescreen" black layer seemed just a few pixels too small.

Was the entire video an opening sequence? The opening credits randomly appearing throughout the movie seemed to suggest that it was.

As for the plot, I have no idea what was going on. What did any of it have to do with the text at the beginning? There were no characters, no motives, just pointless violence following the tritest possible "robots rising against man" themed plot description. The plot looks like it written by a 7th grader.

The audio got annoying at a few points too. The attempted stereo is the same as what you hear in movies, which can be really annoying. If you were standing on a building with a helicopter to your left, you wouldn't hear the sound ONLY in your left ear. I had to take my headphones off here because stuff like that drives me nuts.
I would have to say poor song choice in the middle too, all I heard was distortion. I shouldn't have to have 1 million megawatt speakers to hear a single song in a flash movie, especially when the other music barely distorts (if it even does).

Wow

That was so cartoonish and insane, yet realistic at the same time.
Awesome work, I loved it-5/5

amazing as always

...but the menubar was excessively annoying in the corner of my eye. You should make it so it only appears if you move the mouse toward that corner.
Other than that, awesome!

hehe

that was so cute

not that funny

Just calling someone fat isn't a very good comeback.

As for the game, it was fun at first, but too quickly became impossible.
It looks like the timer runs independently of the framerate, so if the game starts lagging, it becomes unfairly hard.

Also, it takes way too long to get to try again. I don't want to have to see the same 20 seconds of animation 20 times in a row.

Fun and hard but infuriating...

I really enjoyed the difficulty and the gentle learning curve, but there were a few irritating problems that subtracted 3 from my rating.

For one, the delay before you are able to release the fireball is way too long and shouldn't even be there for two reasons:
1. More times than I can count I saw the perfect shot that would win the level, but couldn't do anything about it until the flies all scattered randomly.
2. In a "try & try & try" game like this, you want to be able to make another attempt as soon as possible. Snazzy alpha-transparency fade effects just add to frustration the 30th time you try a level.

Another problem I had was with the collision detection. There were several times I could have made the case that I got robbed. When the ball splits, some random pieces trigger explosions and some don't. There is no apparent difference between these segments and no reason for this to happen.

Also, the bouncing off of walls is too chaotic. Since the flies all move randomly, fireballs bouncing off of walls should be predictable and repeatable. This would add a valuable balance to the game.

I agree with the previous reviewers about the lack of an ending. I don't like to spend a good 2 or 3 hours playing a game only to be told I'm inadequate.

I have to add a big THANK YOU for allowing me to turn off the sound. The music is great at first, but not after you've been stuck for half an hour on level 14.

awesome

Nicely mixed and professionally mastered. A definitive beginning and end would be helpful, I thought there was a skip in the track when it looped back.

...um...abstract

The beginning is a little dry and the audio quality is a little too low. In the middle, there's way too much treble and not nearly enough bass-you need a little diversity there. The fadeout effect at the end took way too long.

attemptedperfection responds:

These things were all deliberate;
sorry you didn't quite like them,
but I'm still just playing around with the program,
getting my bearings and such.
Also, I am an experimental artist at heart,
so I go for the different and the strange,
usually regardless of what people like.
Thanks for the review, though.
I appreciate it.

hmm

Banjo and the breakbeat sound interesting together, but you repeat that banjo loop way too many times. I can tell that you're using premade samples because they don't loop right; that's why I gave you a low originality score.

No matter what you're good at, there are at least 50 people better than you at it.
