I thought this was kind of an unexciting platformer. One of the main issues I had with the game was the fact that moving gave you very little momentum, which resulted in boring movement. It also meant that you had to time your jump perfectly in some situations, which was incredibly lame.

This might just be me, but hidden blocks are not a good thing to add to a game. It just makes your game more about guessing and luck rather than actual skill. Hidden blocks are not puzzles, they are just annoying. It actually made me quit level 10. That's just lazy design.

I would also recommend adding WASD to the controls. I don't mind using arrow keys, but it's always nice to let the players play the way they want. The music is nice and with some work this game could have been much better.

You can edit the controls to wasd in the controls menu

Such a great game on so many levels. It's disappointing that you couldn't make five stars.

Let's cut straight to the chase, this game is advertised as a puzzle platformer. In the game, it says "think outside the box". The levels are designed for a puzzle platform game. However, you hardly have any real puzzles. Literally more than half of the 43 levels is just difficult platform jumping and really simple fluff. Then most of the actual real puzzles you have are pressing a key. At first, it was kind of funny. It's like you have no idea what to do, and then it suddenly clicks in your head. It's fun. Then it gets so damn repetitive. Every single puzzle seems to be "if you hit this key, you can solve the puzzle!" and eventually it just becomes obvious and is no longer fun. The only actual puzzle was the Konami one. Near the end of the game, it just basically becomes I Wanna Be The Guy.

Despite this, you had great audio, a decent story, superb graphics and animations, and everything was smooth. You even had a pretty good ending. The game is a bit like a Valentine chocolates. It has some really pretty packaging, and it's pretty good, but in reality the chocolates are mediocre at best. If you create a sequel, spend a bit more time on making creative puzzles and you'll be looking great.

Poor game. This game has almost no redeeming features unfortunately.

I'm going to start off with the most obvious thing, which is your sound. Everything from sound effects to music is just awful, especially your collect noise. It's really, really loud and annoying. Your attack noise was so bad it almost made me not want to attack anything. Your music consists of a really short loop that just continues on and on, which is generally just a poor soundtrack. It's just boring and repetitive.

Your graphics are really bad. Pixel graphics are a bad idea in general. People do them because they're too lazy to do anything else. However, occasionally, somebody comes along and manages to do them right. You weren't one of those people. Your graphics just don't fit together and aren't charming at all. It just looks really unattractive and kind of hurts the eye because everything seems a little bit too bright and there's too much color variation. Trust me, being talented in art is difficult, but graphics is not something that can be brushed off, especially in flash games. Your animations are just as bad. The animation for attacking is so bad it's almost funny.

If that wasn't bad enough, your game play is so basic and boring that it's no fun. Picking up notes feels like a chore. Your character moves so slow it's brutal. In my opinion, just remove run from the game and have your character moving at the run speed all the time. Because no one is ever going to need to move that slow at any point in the game. Your combat can hardly even be considered combat. There's no actual meat to it at all. It's just spam the Z key as much as possible. I mean, your enemies don't even move. The combat system is literally so bad it might be the worse combat system I've ever seen in any game. When you hit something, it should be knocked back a little. One of your main issues is the fact that your controls are really weird. WSD to move, SHIFT to sprint (if you really want to keep it in there), Left Click to attack. That's a hell of a lot smoother and easier to control.

The worst part of this game is the fact that you didn't even redeem yourself. No story, no comedy, no dialogue. It's just as simple as it can possibly be, with bare minimum effort, and it shows. I feel like you were trying to mimic like an old NES game or something, but you failed miserably. This game was just a train wreck. Next time you create a game, you really need to put effort into creating an original game.

I looked through the comments, and I hate to be the one person with something negative to say, but this sounds like two completely different songs. In my opinion, it would have worked a lot better if you had separated the two. It feels a bit like you have two puzzle pieces that you are trying to put together that don't fit.

Also, it doesn't loop too well. I can easily tell where the loop ends.

Although, you a did a great job with the song in general. From 0:00 - 1:00, it felt really calm. Would sound nice if you were running through a village or something. Definitely got the grassland feel out of that. From 1:00 - 2:16, I was kind of getting a desert theme out of it. Would work well for a festival or a larger town as well.

Sounds amazing, but I definitely couldn't see it working in a game unless you cut it in half.

Step responds:

Dude, I'm glad you have something negative to say! I always love criticism.

I agree that the two sections feel disjointed. I've played the game and personally I think it fits (I'm a firm believer that a game's background music needn't be the same style or mood throughout) but I really wish I managed to make this one cohesive song. I had a very tough time with this since I was (and still am) feeling very uninspired.

I'm glad you like it apart from that quirk though! And the bad looping which is totally laziness and time restraints haha.

Thanks a lot for the criticism, it's reviews like these that help me try to keep my music up to standard!

Disappointing drop and bad mixing. You also crushed the vocals really hard, so rather them coming out as good like in the original, it just sounds annoying. Overall, this was just a massive disappointing mess of poop. Better luck next time.

JDUBSdubstep responds:

whale. i like it lol. along with around 100 people who got down to this while i was djing. but whatever, im sure youve djed much better original remixes for hundreds of people and all...

i think using missy elliot yelling remix in the intro should by default get at least a solid 1/5:p

That's a sick bassline dude.
