That was just AMAZINGLY fun. :)
The only thing I ask? Please, please put a fast forward in for later levels when you have to try a solution 20+ times until you get it right? ;)

It's a pretty decent game with good controls and a nice concept. I love that your targeting has to be developed instead of being instantly perfect accuracy.
But. You had to go and ruin it by locking NG users out of the highest upgrades and shoving a very annoying advertisement in the preloader. Sure, your bills are being paid by those folks, but don't penalize us for playing your game in which you display the ads anyway on a site that isn't your sponsor's.

The game... was an attempt. The concept is a nice one - a sidescrolling RPG. However, the execution is just horrible. Your hit detection sucks, your AI is stupid (I can make them chase me in circles, why don't they know how to flank?) and quite frankly it doesn't feel like you playtested the game at all.
Try redoing the game from scratch and see what you can come up with.

The one major downside to this game is that the timer doesn't stop running when you pump the water. I kept failing by half a second or less - you could hear the field growing when the game over screen came up.
Otherwise, I had fun. :)

I want to like this flash, very badly. It's got a good premise behind it, it has the potential to be a lot of fun, and it could even easily expand into online multiplayer scenarios if you wanted to work that hard.
But the controls are akward. The timing is on the "too short" side of acceptable. The game could be a lot of fun, but the timing is the one thing that's going to hold you back. If the animation only registers me hitting every third note, there's something going on that's a bit funny.
Great attempt though. It's still fun to play even if the timing is off. I definately enjoy it, and please, if you get the timing right do release another version. It'll be awesome!

The game was kind of fun, though it was short and mouse click events weren't always registered. I'd like to know how rank is determined, and that's not shown anywhere in the flash.
You might try making sure that click detection works completely, add a few levels, and add a few variants and rewards for achieving a certain rank to add some spice and uniqueness to this game. Good try, though, and certainly something I wouldn't mind playing again if I was really bored.

Ranking is the average between your score and your highest combo.
score
< 20000 = F
< 24000 = D
< 28000 = C
< 32000 = B
>= 32000 = A
combo
< 5 = F
< 15 = D
< 20 = C
< 25 = B
>= 25 = A
Ans I'm not quite sure I notice the absence of the click registering on my computer. I've never had a problem but I'll still look into it.

How did this get front page?
Honestly, it was a good attempt at a flash animation. If it was just another video, I wouldn't think too poorly of it - maybe think it had a higher score than it should, but it'd be just yet another beginner's flash animation. But you made it to the front page, and honestly, there was no reason. Your sound quality was poor, the animation wasn't smooth at all, and it was just a quick gag flash that could have, and should have, had a lot more effort put into it. This is definately not front page material.
Next flash, please try cleaning up your sound a bit, adding some plot or relevant content, and cleaning up your animation. As I said, what you show here shows potential for talent and is a good /beginner/ movie, so work on your skills, show us what you've really got.

This is a fairly funny flash.. ignore your detractors. They don't get satire or what's funny versus truly cruel.
