Rant, rant, rant...

Sorry. I'm adding a mini-rant to this review.

---- BEGIN RANT ----

"THE ANIMATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE CRAPPY! ...... DO NOT Criticize about animation and vote 0 for it."

Just because your crap is intentional, doesn't make the crap is less crappy. We have a right as reviewers to tell you if we don't like what you do in your animation. Just as you have a right to thumb your nose at us and say, "Bah, you ignorant bourgeoise have no appreciation of my ARTISTIC VISION!!"

---- END RANT ----

Anyway, the whole thing was nonsensical, but without any of the humor that makes the other random flashes out there fun.

Hey, a flash with bad animation/artwork + funny jokes still gets decent scores. But this flash has less than stunning artwork and nothing especially humorous.

Nice look, but Magic Richochets?

I loved the look of it and the storyline. Hero drives a DeLorean!

One thing that bothered me was the Magic Ricochets! I mean, a sniper from several meters away shoots.... The guy blocks the bullet with his briefcase... There, that's fine. The bullet would have probably imbedded itself in the briefcase. But INSTEAD the bullet ricochets. Not only does it ricochet, but it somehow finds it way all the way back to the sniper?!!!

And the bad guys were taking themselves out with ricochets! First, shooting at the hero and the bullets deflecting off the briefcase. Later, shooting at the door and the bouncebacks killing them. Wha, what?!!!

It would have been better if the hero had a gun and was actually shooting back.

Watch me twirl my pistol! I'm better than Robocop!

Man, the guy seems OCD about spinning his pistol. "Killed zombie... Must... twirl... gun..." The second time almost got him killed. A Revolver Ocelot wannabe?

Anyway, nice fluid animation, great action. Too short. I guess that pretty much sums up what everyone's been saying. I know this was originally supposed to be part of a collaboration, but this animation could probably be expanded into a decent series.

Good game.

To phoenixassassin: The guy on the balcony is actually the guard, NOT the main target. You still have to wake the main target up to take him out.

Anyway, I wish the scope zoomed a little. Other than that, good game.

Clouds... Bah!

I only got to level 3...

1. You should be given enough screen to see the clouds coming so you can plan for them...

2. Maybe you should allow partial control of ascent speed... There are places, esp. in level 3, where you only have one possible path... And if a cloud comes at the wrong place at the wrong time, there's nothing you can do... you can't slow down to wait for the cloud to pass before taking the path and you can't speed up to take the path before the cloud gets there...

That's it?

The game was too short... And the story line never resolved itself. This felt like only the beginnings of a game rather than a full game.

You needed more sound fx and/or music. And that last lock, the combination didn't even fit on that screen.

As for the gameplay, I liked the dodge lasers thing, but you had to be extremely careful whenever you entered a new screen. And I liked the fact that after you get hit you could move ahead "invincible" for a few seconds, nothing bouncing you back or anything, so there weren't very many places where you would get stuck.
