"nice message"

submission: Gray
date: May 13, 2009

I got a great message out of this. I interpreted the mob running one way or the other and their colors representing their opinions on a topic. It was a good idea for you to be vague about it, because we could imagine it being about literally anything we want. Without any names or actual faces to speak of, we can fill in the blanks to relate it to ourselves.

Anyways, playing this game and thinking that the colors represented their opinions, I experienced a lot of frustration. First off, I was angry that everybody else was running in the same direction, going with the flow. No-one was running the opposite direction nor was anyone just standing there. This crowd of people lacked individuality and I hated them for it.

But my guy was guilty too! He disagreed with them and I had to get them all to go the other way. But when I got them all going the other way, he changed colors! And this happened many times and I got furious with him! "Why can't you make up your mind!?" I wanted to yell at him. I hated him because his color and opinion was never the same. I couldn't trust him. I wanted him to be either white or black(or, as I interpreted it, for or against an issue) or maybe even gray(neutral towards an issue). It was as if he didn't really have an opinion at all.

The ending was very fitting and it made me happy, because after changing his mind so many times and being generally unreliable, the guy was gray and invisible and no-one would listen to him. That made me happy because, finally nobody was listening to this guy who couldn't make up his mind and was confusing me.

The message I got was that you should stick to your opinions on a topic that you're talking about, and if you just constantly change your mind and not make any sense at all, no-one will listen to you, and rightfully so, because who in the world can trust someone who has no real opinion about something at all?

Lemons raining from the sky! Must... smash... with... MALLET!!! :D

Awesome game! 5/5 10/10

P.S. I second what Dauthus-Nahts said, the music was a very good choice. It's very whimsical.

Bird Frenzy

"Nice game..."

submission: Bird Frenzy
date: March 21, 2008

Really fun and interesting, but I agree with what tanto89 says. I started messing up really really bad because since I had my left index finger on the F, the rest of my fingers didn't match up with the birds' colors. The blue bird on the right had my right index finger but the blue bird on the left had my left middle finger, for example. I can handle the first two levels fine, but then I get to the third level and everything just breaks down there for me.

"lol"

date: October 21, 2008

singing in binary + dance music + some Futurama reference I wish I understood = hilarious song

Now I'm gonna get this stuck in my head and everyone will hear me singing using only ones and zeros, lol.

Author's Response:

it was actually REALLY REALLY hard to get that binary string down pat - if you don't listen to my rendition and try doing it at the speed I did you end up garbling it a lot..

and the futurama reference is from the futurama "bender's big score" which was never actually released in theatres but went straight to dvd :) - they basically find the time travel code of the universe on fry's ass and inly bender can read it - and thats what it sounds like :P

neways thanks for the review! Now go around singing in binary! XD

"awesome"

date: October 21, 2008

I really like the nice upbeat rhythm. A little repetitive and short but still very impressive.

Author's Response:

ya but when you think about it - what 8-bit tune ISNT short, thus looped forever, thus repetetive? :P

thanks for the review!

"hey a new song!"

date: March 21, 2008

Time to review it! It's a nice loop, though it's a little short, so I think playing this loop for too long a period would get really repetitive. Yeah, I picutre people around a table, at a restaurant or party, having a good time. Maybe even the background music to some city, like in a video game. For some reason, it makes me think of the streets of the city in Monkey Island, though it's been a long while since I've played that game.

I'm not sure why it has a rating of 2.64 from 13 votes or why you say it's your "worst in the world," but I'm not much of an expert at music and arts anyways. Whatever, I liked it.
