VERY solid game (If you like shooters). I'm most impressed with the speed at which this runs, without sacrificing graphical quality. There are plenty of horde shooter type flash games out there, and most have trouble keeping the frame rate up with half the polish this game has. Nice job guys!

"Very well polished game....not as fun as I'd like"
The best thing about this game has to be the 3d engine you made for it. It runs very smooth and everything looks crisp and clean. The controls are spot on and work like you would like them to without any noticable glitches or timing problems. Everything about the game is great...except for the fact that I got bored with it quickly. It might just be that is not my type of game, but it seemed to me like a platform game without all the extras. Like a very, very plain platformer (with 3d in flash!). I guess the engine can't make the game...

Your right. Whilst the 3d may be impressive the game itself tends to be lacking. But as i have said before, this game was more of an experiment with my 3d engine than an attempt to make a perfect game. In the future I will take this idea futher.
Thanks for the review

Wow, great idea for a game. I've never seen anything like it. I like physics games when they are done right. For the most part I loved it, but...
A couple things.
The explostion sound is jarring and annoying. It doesn't fit the rest of the game sounds.
The main menu is awesome and very well done, however the after game menu should be reduced to something more simple. You have to do many retrys on some levels and having to wait for the fade out and menu animation to retry again is annoying. The fading the game in and out after every death is annoying as well. I'd do a quick pop-up on the menu and also wait a second or two after you "die" before showing the menu so you can see the results of the explosion. It is too much of an annoying shock to have the menu start to go through it's slow fade and animation before you even saw what happened. With that, have the option to click and bring up the menu right away, but wait a sec or two before showing, and don't fade out the game or fade in.
Fix that and I'd give it a perfect 10. It's original AND fun, something of a rarity...

Bonus points for using flash as flash instead of just putting a movie or frame by frame bitmaps into flash. A lot of the movies on here could just as easily been put on youtube instead of flash as they don't use the program really. Nice work!

This game is great on so many levels. I love the free-form type play, the gameplay, and added details like the in-game map and bubble-pidea! Only problem I had with it was the sound. Some sounds didn't match well with others. Like you have this nice calm background music and some low pop sounds when you shoot, then when you go to pick up more bubbles (which should be a good thing) you hear this ear shattering twang! Fine tune the sounds and this would be a 10/10 for me.

Got you hand it to you incorporating ragdoll physics into a flash game. There had to be some headaches programming this! The game was pretty fun to play and although there was some slowdown in certain areas, overall it ran very smooth considering all that was going on. Probably be an average game if I saw it written in C++ or something, but for pulling this off in Flash I give it a 10/10.

Not a bad Shoot 'em up. I had fun playing through it and was impressed with the graphics and animation considering it was a flash game. It looked like it could almost compete with a standalone download (if not for the short length). One major problem I had though is when there was too much on the screen the game got pretty choppy. I'm not sure what you programmed it in, but if you make it with AS3 I'm certain you can get the speed up to a nice smooth level. Keep up the good work!

The animations were very well made. This is something I'd expect to see on adult swim someday. I didn't find most of the jokes too funny, but could just me be. All in all, good work!
