18 MONTHS...
You know, that's pretty damn much time to develope a good flash game. But this gets repetetive pretty quickly. The controls seemed a bit odd at first. And sometimes there were totally unfitting music to a scene.
Dude; with 18 months you could make a pretty damn good game, easily, with that much time for improvement. Someone could even write a friggin good book in less than that.
Sorry mate, but this doesn't seem like it took 18 months to make. It looks like it took less than two months. Considering how much time you have on 18 months, and especially the holidays and the long vacations, this ain't good enough for an 18-month production. I expected far more when I read "After nearly 18 months of development".
Again, sorry mate, but this just ain't good enough. Also, the music better be made by you, or else I would give you 5 stars.
