[Life as a stick]

Unfinished Upload?

Ah, another stick-life flashgame. Ok you did a good job on a few things. I loved the spirit guide thing.. it was rather original.. I wouldn't left the markers there though.. make us search.. The street lines guide cars to the walls? a little wrong.. a silver tree to get money (you don;t have to trade?) but the golden get you nothing (accept the quest)?? a little wrong.
I loved the 'Fun' meter that too is rather original. playing the game will make you always lose (alot of) money.. also you can use the tab key there.. you might want to fix it..
It was cool there was a (pointless) mini-game.. but I actually avoided it because I can get the same 'fun' for less money..

There were no little cutscene's if you got a promotion or something cool.. I missed that.
There was only 1 side quest.. Why not fix the light on the school or something else? Actually trade that silver..

There where not too many job promotions, I kinda missed that too.. just very little NPC interaction.

It's a great concept but it felt like a premature-upload.. for instance where is the mute button to the music, cause it ticked me of after a while..
Dying benefits too much.. you regain your HP, Hunger, Sleep & Time and are not forwarded a day..

Just work a few (or all of these) things, I think your concepts and originality could be rewarded (greatly) on NG.

Thanks for the detailed review. I'll help me a lot. I might make dying harm the charter more, add more quests and cutscenes in the future. But I could help you on a few things, There is a mute button, go to Menu then the music tab then mute. I thought I fixed the tab cheat, I'll check it again. The golden tree does give you somthing if you touch it and click an option. Also the driver of the car is crazy.

[We Are Legend:Arockalypse]

Great!!

Yes, I am very fond of this game!
I really love the way you enhanced the keyboard-ddr button usage!
it really requires intensity, plus you don't make too hastefull mistakes. (you can correct yourself before you hit space)
The easy modes were very easy and good for 'getting a hang of' the controls.
when I played the full mode I wasn't dissapointed it was indeed challenging!
therefore full score!

Oh and the Cathedral song really is awsome I speak as a musician.

JohnnySedona responds:

"Kicking Extra Ass (Rock remix)" is the cathedral song, and it impressed me enough that I decided to exclusively use NAL1200's music in the game. Check out all of his work on Newgrounds, it's impressive.
