pretty sick

Awesome game. Really addicting. The whole look of the game was perfect... especially that cyclops dude. The songs were pretty cool, very good rock songs. But the game was waaaay too easy! I kinda wish you could be able to change the fret buttons from ASDF to F1-F4 making the player be able to hold their keyboard like a guitar. This isn't quite a Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe... but it sure is pretty damn close! At times I was starting to argue with myself over which one was better... but SCGMD comes out on top by a slight amount. Great job overall. Can't wait for the next one!

I think my brain exploded

Very cool game... if you can call it a game. It really felt like my kind of game at first but the lack of instructions made it hard to catch on. I wish you could have showed us some basic patterns that did different things and leave the more complex stuff for us to figure out.

Also, the music drove me crazy. I don't know how else to explain it other than a comparison to tetris. Tetris is a puzzle game that really need a make over since the very beginning. After several years, the game became a flashy light show that made you feel special for clearing out a line.

I think this game deserves a makeover aswell. You could throw in some crazy particle effects so different reactions show different light effects. Also, the music drove me crazy. All in all, the game has great potential but didn't have the looks that it could've had. Great start, can't wait for the next one!

Glad you enjoyed it, I think you raise a good point about the instructions, if I make a sequel I'm going to try to spell out the rules a little more explicitly and use examples. I don't agree with your tetris comparison at all - tetris was a great game right from the start and the so called makeovers have just added a bit of eye-candy but not really altered the fundamental game, which is by far the most important part. I also think particle effects etc would be completely unnecessary in this game and probably even detract from the observation of the amazing patterns and pattern evolution which is the main attraction.

Its always the case that some people like whatever music you choose while others don't, there is a mute button on the game screen if you don't like it.

creepy

Great game... really creepy. Especially when the Red Freaks came in. WOO!

PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!111

I had more fun playing this game than most RTS games on my PC. One of the best flash games on Newgrounds. A perfect ammount of action, stratedgy, and humour in one flash game. I couldn't ask for more, accept for a sequal. Amazing work, keep it up!!!

Samurai-TASTIC

Im normally a ninja kinda guy... but this was an exepction. Its almost like okami for the wii... only with your mouse... and your not a wolf. I felt the sound effects could have been done a bit better, or when you fire your bow there wasnt sound at all. The graphics in the back ground were really well done, but the characters themselves didn't really fit the mood. Overal its a really great game and I hope the sequal will take into consideration of some of the flaws that this game has. God job though!

goof-tacular

trolls?!

u know those mental character thingys... well they really reminded me of trolls. but anyway, i normally like these kinds of IQ testing games and this one doesnt really stack up against others. the minigames arent all that enjoyable and the troll things kinda creep me out. i liek the whole look of the game (besides the trolls) but thats just about it. i feel like im only giving this game a 4 just cuz i like the look and genre of the game. nice try though... id like to see another one.

meh

i can see where it could have been good... the art concept really pointed towards a final fantasy kind of game. but after i got past the cool menu screen, i just got bored. those green squares representing where you can move whilst in battle are kinda crap (but thats a little nit-picky). i also think the turn based combat system is getting kinda old for todays gamers. it could have been a platformer the way the game felt. i'm kinda disapointed because it looked awesome until i actual played.
