Good game, and interesting concept.
First off, let me say that I liked how it just jumped straight into the game. It gives you a feeling of uncertainty, which is nice for games like this where you have to watch yourself or you'll die. I also liked how well hidden the traps were. They actually made me think about where they might have been, and I found myself squinting at the screen in observation a number of times. The ending was also very well conceived, and unexpected.
On the downside, game mechanics were a bit flimsy when it came to the character movements, but with only 96 hours, the quality is definitely up to par. Also, I really wish the signs said something, even if it was just cryptic nonsense. It would have really added to the atmosphere.
All in all, a challenging game that will keep you guessing. Well done. :)
thanks for the kind review... if you liked what you've seen so far.. stay tuned for the update that will make the game even moody-er :D +signs

Amazing game... at the right time.
Wow, I haven't ever seen a stoner game on Newgrounds before. This is great. The gameplay was very simple and relaxing, which is a good time-waster if you just wanna chill out. I enjoyed the music, and the sounds made when you collected the orbs. Sometimes, it even aligned itself as a 'beat' that went alongside the ambient music in the background. I found myself trying to time it right in order to make a cooler tune when the orbs really started rolling in. :P Also, the graphics were very well done, and added to the overall atmosphere of the game. It sort of reminds me of Flower for the PS3, where things appeared all wavy and breezy. Not the most action-packed, but certainly the most relaxing game I've played in a while. Great job on this, especially after completing what you have in only three weeks.
For all the people complaining about lack of action and complexity... why are you in the "Skill - Collect" section? Complaining about a lack of action or complexity from this game is like demanding hardcore, eye-popping gameplay from Tetris. It's not going to happen, and if it did, it'd be in another genre. I understand most of you followed here from the front page, but you should at least read the information before getting your mind set to expect something else.

Great.
Nice game you have here. It was well-made, and was extremely pleasing to the eyes. It was enjoyable, although a bit easy. I managed to get all 30 stars within the 20 minutes I played. Perhaps you could add an elite section for more skilled players?
One thing I didn't like, was the fact that my mouse kept going out of the screen when I had to shoot targets on the far sides of the area. I'm pretty sure there is a script that can keep your mouse inside the screen at all times, and it would have been nice to have that.
As for all the people below me(minus the OK screen guy), the targeting system is fine. Just be sure not to jerk the mouse at all when taking a shot. Obviously you're not going to jerk a gun when firing it. Brush up on your mouse skills, and try again before blaming the creator. Also, the special agents are all there. They are just hard to spot since they never appear in plain view. Try looking around a bit, and you will find them, I assure you.
Again, great game. I had fun playing it, and I hope that you add more challenges to this game, or make more of these in the future. :)

Right before it hit 1:09, my head cranked itself back for the big forward head-bang that was to happen in unison with the bust-out I thought was going to take place. Where did it go? :( 1:08(and a half?) sounded like it should have been a climax area in the song. Everything was great except for a big background attack synth and bass making its way in to the party along with that wonky lead synth riff, or some other instrument that would fill out the lower frequencies.

It's pretty good. One thing to note when you're making music is to not let a certain instrument hog the stage too much, as so to speak. Diversity in instruments really keep things fresh. There should also be ups and downs in the song, which is needed so the same thing doesn't drag on for too long - gives it the feeling that it's traveling somewhere. Making music is a lot like telling a story. What instruments make you feel a certain way? When you put certain together, do you feel something different? Does the feeling make sense with the sound before it? Keeping these things in mind while creating your music not only allows for more complexity and diversity in the sound you create, but it induces emotion in people, and that invisible connection in music is what really speaks to someone's soul. You know, they'll teach you chords and scales in schools, but they'll never teach you how to properly wield sound. Music is all about what you feel.
Thank you :) I'll definitely keep your advice in mind for the next song I make.

Full of emotion. Altered my mental state into one of a twisted scientist who has suffered hardship and snapped. Brilliant work!

Absolutely stunning.
This is a fantastic piece of artwork, and well-deserving of the front page.
It looks great in small view, but when you go into full view, you really notice just how detailed everything is. Everything from the "kill counter" on her leg, to the luster and detail of her eyes. I've never seen someone detail their artwork as much as this.
To anyone who is viewing this piece, I STRONGLY recommend viewing it in full. When you do that, you'll appreciate just how crazily detailed and well-drawn this picture is.
Amazing work dude, keep it up!

Oil in Uganda. All of a sudden, Kony 2012. Kony hasn't been in Uganada in 6 years. Invisible children makes millions off their -non-profit- organization. Military goes in and secures Uganda because of Kony 2012, even though Kony left years ago. What's the point in going over there? Ohwait.jpg, the oil. Starting to run out in Saudi Arabia, and that was the whole reason for the Iran war - the oil. It's always been about the damned oil, but this time the campaign supporters are the ones supplying the whole operation with their donations. It's really sad that they lied about this sort of thing too. Even the people in Uganda got mad when they saw the Kony 2012 video. If you don't already know, then you're a month late to the party. Get googling already.
As for the animation, it was quite fitting for the whole Kony 2012 campaign thing. Good job.
yeah!!!
