This is a pong game with a ramped-up difficulty. That's about all.
Firstly, there was no sound. IMO, this game would have been so much better with an upbeat song accompanying the game.
The lack of color was also a slight turn-off. A simple gradient-background would suffice.
One more thing that I noticed: the position of the paddle didn't seem to effect the path of the ball. It didn't seem to matter whether the ball was hit from the left side, middle, or right side of the paddle. The ball traveled in one fixed path, no matter what.
Overall, as I have already stated, it's just a simple pong game with a higher difficulty.
Author's Response:
Thanks for your comments. I'll remember to use sound in my future games, and you're right about how the ball isn't affected by the paddle. Instead, when the ball bounces, it's speed is randomly adjusted to bounce in a new direction.

This was a very fun game to play. It had a nice difficulty curve, which was good. The graphics in between the levels were also nice, as were the sound effects that went with them.
The music was very fitting, but maybe next time, add a "jukebox" feature. Maybe add about 5 or so different songs that the player could switch between during the levels.
Overall, it's a very nice, clean-looking game, and I look forward to future submissions from you.
Author's Response:
well... jukebox - i know this. Not sure why I never do it :\ Maybe cuz I afraid of big filesize. I think I do!

On level 18, I encountered a very annoying glitch.
For some reason, I had to restart the level. When I did, the screen started blinking furiously. The level disappeared, and all that was left was one single square of ground with 19 lions standing on it. The only way that I could stop it and continue with the game was to close out of the game itself.
Now, it was fun. One of the better games I have played in the past week. The lack of a save feature got me pretty upset, mainly because of the above glitch. It was very challenging, but passable. I would have loved to see the ending though.
Overall, great game. I give it a 8/10 and a 4/5.

I quote Krinkels on this movie:
"the best damn madness movie ever"
Really, this was awesome. The music was kick-ass to say the least, and fit well with the animation.
Speaking of animation, that was some of the best I've seen in a while. But I really like the whole "hand-drawn" animation type deal you used, and i wished that there were more animations like it.
And for a self-proclaimed Atheist, that was a lot of Christian overtone.
But anyways, it was an awesome flash, worthy of the title "Madness."

you cant claim to be an atheist if you have no knowledge of what you're an atheist of.

i dont know if anyones already pointed these out (im not lookin through 210 reviews), but there were some slightly annoying bugs.
if you selected the rope paint, and then another type of paint, (ill use the blood paint for example), the rope paint would still be activated. the blood would paint right, but it would also have a layer of the rope paint below it...
also, if you flip some items over the axis and they went off the box with the aura, you couldnt move it back. it could still be deleted, but w/e.
i dont know if that made any sense, but i tried. hope it helped.
other then that, no other major bugs i saw. still trien to get Mr. T and the penis </spoiler>, but hey, good game anyways.
Author's Response:
The horizontal flippage sending the image off-screen is a new one... and dually noted! The multiple paints thing is something I did end up finding also, and is another thing I'll take into account with any version 2 development. Thanks for the review and glad you found it enjoyable!

got a little too complicated for me. and really, the game last for 6.5 hours? your kidding me.
maybe next time, SHORTEN IT, simplify it, add more graphics, simplify it, and you might have a good game. but until then, im going to pass on this one.
Author's Response:
Thanks for your feedback!
I don't think simplifying the game is the answer, but simplifying the interface is definately something I need to do.

i opened this game, thinking i would find a half-assed quiz game but would still get passed because of the music. boy was i wrong. i couldnt get too far in the quiz because the overlapping music made my ears bleed (in the bad way). the quality of the pics i saw were horrible. i would sooo give this a perfect score if you fixed the music and pic quality. but until then...2/10 because its about metalica 1/5 because it sucked

i liked that. it was different and i really liked your drawings and how you animated it. i really did like it. i was kinda skeptic at first when it first opened, but im glad i stuck through it.
on another note, it could be better. VOICE-OVERS...and i know im not the only one...at least loop the song or something so it plays through the whole flash. also, although it was good and exciting at the beginning, it started to get boring about halfway through. i guess this goes back to the whole "voice-overs" thing.
all in all, good flash, but it does have room to be inproved
Author's Response:
HEY, thanks for the review. The song, is the EXACT length of the flash. If your internet or computer lags, then the animation slows down but the song doesnt. making it out of sync. its because i set the song as an 'event' not 'stream' so it would play through all the scenes. there is a sequel tho, in which i tried to improve a bit. check it out under my submissions called "HBD Victoria!"
