This is an acceptable game. Its graphics and animation are good. The gameplay gets repetitive quickly, but isn't too bad. The soundtrack is alright, but not something I would leave playing in the background for extended periods of time.
Is it deserving of the first-place daily feature? The answer to that question is very debatable. One thing is undeniable, though: sharpnova is a total and utter idiot. Sorry for the following rant, but I just could not resist the temptation of his defiant stupidity.
Sharpnova. You were asking for this metaphorical spit-wad to your face, and by god, I shall deliver.
You posted, "... i cannot reply to your reply here, therefore i do not permit you to make one...", and so I ask you this: who are you to prohibit a person from replying to a review you made on THEIR creation? You do so with an air of superiority, even -as if your word was definite. It could've been, "I would appreciate it if you didn't reply here.", but no -you had to be an asshole about it. The author will reply if he wants, dammit, and just because you don't permit them to, doesn't mean that they can't.
You also said, "...i require that you use more retro-ish graphics..."
You REQUIRE? What are you, a teacher, talking to their student? Haven't you the decency to at least use "I suggest" instead? You post as if your word is a cut above all others. Are you really that important? Who are you to restrict someone to using an art style that you prefer?
Sheer stupidity, I tell you. Sharpnova, let's see you reply to this, mothafocka. I can slay you through pm just as much as I can slay you out here.
end of metaphorical spit-wad.
Anyways, I think the game deserves at least 3.5 stars. It wasn't the best for me, but it sure as hell isn't worth 1.5 in my book. That's just my opinion however, and I acknowledge that, unlike some giant assholes who think they know better than everyone else.
