[VVVVVV Demo]

awesome

Loved the music and graphical style.

The stages were challenging but not frustrating due to frequent checkpoints.

[Transcripted]

Shiny

Woah, very shiny graphics, how did you make them?
Adobe After Effects or something?

Music gives a nice atmosphere, the game runs smoothly and is pretty challenging.

Maybe a bit too much puzzle for my taste, but I'd love to see more shooters in a similar style!

Krobill responds:

Thanks
The graphics are mostly precalculated 3D (background, monsters, canals, cubes). The rest of the FXs are pure flash vector animations. There are a lot of Flash filters everywhere so bitmap caching and blitting is involved to make it run smoothly.

Explosive

Very exciting for a puzzle game, must be cause of all the explosions and shiny graphics.
Music's catchy too, and the sounds are fitting.

GameBalance responds:

thanks :) I made all the sounds myself ^_^

[Grayscale]

neat

Very stylish graphics and interesting levels.

Did not manage to finish it though.

Fun wee shooter.

The graphics could be a bit clearer though, sometimes the shield graphics get a bit distracting, and all the bullets are different shapes which kind of gets confusing.

Otherwise it's quite unique and fun to play for a while.
The music's nice too.

You should add NG medals to increase replay value!

Quick and fun

Got through the game pretty quickly and enjoyed it a lot more than similar games.
Well done.

Can't really think of anything to criticize.

Jimp responds:

Cheers buddy, means a lot!

[Icebreaker]

Pretty

Very nice graphics and music, and interesting gameplay.
Did not manage to get very far though.

[REPLAYING :the game:]

leet

Well, not much of a game, but I really enjoyed the variety and humor in the cutscenes, especially the epicroll.

[Starlight]

kewls

Pretty unique and charming game.
Lol'd at some of the pictures.

Reminds me of the bonuses in Big Bang Mini

Lol fullscreen mode crashed my computer until I updated ma flashplayer.
The pause button doesn't seem to work in fullscreen mode either.

Anyhow.

I like the designs of the enemy ships and the planet, and the music was fitting but eventually got very repetitive.
The enemy attack patterns were quite varied and the difficulty curve was quite comfortable.
Only a few more medals left to get...

Ya you can also press tab to pause, flash locks down most of the keys in fullscreen
