Ibthar's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Keyboard Hero Beta!]

I want to like it.

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!

It was alright.

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.
