Great job! Really enjoyed myself, even if I only hit level 3 :)

Best game I've rated so far. Awesome work.

This was fun ^.^ keep it up :3

I really love this game. Music is amazing. Still can't beat the last stage. I'll have to come back to it later.

Awesome title and game over screens! Enjoyed music as well. Wanted to see what I will reach in the end of this well balanced journey. Sadly didn't manage to finish it. Maybe some other time.

Either way enjoyed it!

Flying a missile is a great idea. Really liked the happy music as a counter to what I was. Still trying to get past level 2 - fucking monkeys!

5 start for humor!

therestlesstaxidermists 2012-12-18 08:38

Yeah, I felt addicted. Loved the music and the graphics. Even if I was very, very, very, bad at it. (couldn't survive more than 2 secondes of the 3th level).

Loved the fact that balloon, monkeys or even rabbit could destroy this glorious missile. Really cool !

Aw yeah, a game about the great leader. I'm glad I get to serve him.

Full score for theme!

This was a pretty fun game, a simple concept done well.

- Graphics are good
- Game was challenging, but never unfairly so. Well balanced!
- The only thing which was rather confusing was the level endings. I was expecting a big boom, instead i got another level. Couldn't you have made the level switches a little more organic?

I say it again, well done.

Really really great. Simple, but super fun with excellent music and graphics. Strong work!

rujomarco 2012-12-18 10:47

very funny and nicely done

studioarmix 2012-12-18 10:50

Really awesome execution of the theme.
- It's simple to play without needing to read any instructions.
- I really enjoyed the art style and fluid feel of the gameplay.

Once again, great job.

I can't believe mere birds and balloons can destroy a missile. ..I had a lot of fun playing this game. Truly a glorious game!

benw 2012-12-18 13:52

I have failed great leader.

caribou 2012-12-18 14:14

This was so fun !

Very solid game! The graphics were really good (especially the landscapes) and the music was superb ^^. Gameplay was kindof twitchy but overall fun :3
I like how rotated sprites are still drawn as bitmaps and not like you often see in flash games as rotated vectorized sprites. How'd you get that to work?

zimmy87 2012-12-19 20:32

MaximSchoemaker:
Thanks for the kind words! I was one of the devs working on the game and did some of the rotation. So perhaps I can fill you in.

We were going to use Flixel's loadRotatedGraphic call to prerender the rotations in all the sprites, but found that it was introducing tiny artifacts into the graphics, so instead we used the regular loadGraphic in conjuntion with modifying the FlxSprite's angle field. I don't know enough of the inner workings of Flixel to tell you exactly what's going on, but if I had to take a gander, I think Flixel is using a different rotation algorithm in this case todo the rotation in realtime, and this algorithm doesn't seem todo any interpolation of colors, which may make the rotation look a bit off when viewed closely, but when the game's running at full speed, I think it looks better as the palette more closely resembles the original palette and there's no graphical artifacts. Also, we didnt notice any loss in performance, so wee just decided to go with the way we thought looked better.

Also, your Villain Complex game is SWEET

rosypenguin 2012-12-20 06:20

I laughed out loud at that lose screen! Looks great and sounds great, and fun arcade game play. Awesome!

somethingbeautiful 2012-12-20 13:17

Hehe funny idea. Level 3 is hard.

mcc 2013-01-05 08:20

a bittersweet tale of one little missile that could

clodial 2013-01-06 04:01

Woah... That was pretty cool XD

conflictivelabs 2013-01-08 00:29

Could only make it to level 3 but it's a fun little game! Difficulty is a bit too unforgiving though.
