One of the most solid platformers I've played on NG. The engine was defined and well developed which in turn shoveled awesomeness by the bucketload into the rest of the game. Lots of stages with varied artwork through, bosses and all, it's got all the features that full platformers have!
Some of the highlights I got here was the sort of puzzle game feel it also gave to it, with the switches and keys that were hidden just that little bit off screen that you had to explore the level to find them, then memorise the root back. I also loved that continue system, probably the most evil I've ever seen in a game yet, actually showing your score being deducted :-P
So what else could it need?
It's a long game, A save system wouldn't be a miss. Also I feel this game would work very nicely with an online high score system, there dosn't seem to be a fixed high score you can get, given time bonuses (of course it would probably get hacked to heck and back)
Well bloody done.

Thanks for the review Khuskan :) the game wouldn't be the same without your music.

Although it sadly backs up my ideas that 99% of the conceivable audio portal is crappy 10 minute fruityloop deals, this is really quite an awesome gadget, and I came across a few gems that I've never even heard of before.
Oh yeah;

"Effort was there.. but it just.. lacked"
The style of animation has potential, its simplistic and clear. There were a few issues with clarity of sound, but I suppose thats why you stuck in subtitles. Also, spellcheck. For a start, its 'Hebrew'. Not a 'U' in sight.
Secondly, excessive racism dosn't automatically make something funny, nor does cliché stereotyping. Work a little bit more on the script, and don't try to be funny simply by picking on ethnic groups, or it turns into 'big mommas house 2', which as we all know, can't be a good thing.

The "Hebru" was Intentional. Thats his name, Man!

...Shame you decided to go ahead and make on reason.
Seriously, I promised the last person who used grovemasters rock kit number 1 that I would fork out my left eye the next time I heard that preset used in a track.
And now I'm minus an eye. Thanks a lot.
You really should have gone and found a guitarist and drummer to record this properly. Your composition is great, but you're using the wrong tools for the job.
Author's Response:
Well... get your eye back. Some of the components did come from the Groovemasters kit, but I added toms and cymbals (from the same kit, though, haha! Oh well... there goes your eye...).
If I didn't have time and personnel constraints (I don't have a band anymore, so I had to program everything), I would DEFINITELY record this in a live studio, with professional musicians. To add insult to injury, I'm deployed to a project ~300 miles away from my hometown and every musician I know. The mic was a saving grace; wouldn't have pulled this off without it.
Anyway, thanks for the commentary! Really appreciated it! ^_^

Tiny little too much verby verb on that piano, also saxes are terribly hard to make sound good even with the best VSTs, I recommend swapping it in for a flue or clarinet, as what you have written is a bit low for saxes, and listning to the rest of the track, I really don't think the saxy harsh tones suit the breathy, light style of the track anyway.
The writing itself though is wonderful, even if a little bit difficult (though still possible) for piano. I myself am bored of people writing totally impossible to play piano music thinking it's awesome when anyone with a trained ear can hear how difficult it is. This piano writing in this has a lovely waft of 20th century minimalism.
Personal preference here, I absolutely despise pan-pipes, not that anything is wrong with how you implemented them though. All too new-agey for me. Swap em for strings IMO.
Wonderful none the less, 5'd!
Author's Response:
Yeah, that was one of the main reasons I wanted you to check out mah track- to see if I had written it impossible. I didn't think I had, but I was getting there :D
FUX YOU AND YOUR NON-LIKING OF THE PANPIPES. THEY ARE TEH AWESOME.
And I did swap the sax in for a flute + clarinet when I was writing this, and strings as well, and none of them just seemed to have quite the power of it.
Meh, maybe I'm biased- I'm a saxophonist anyways :D
