wow, no stupid tool tips to read, stats highlight what it affects, well thought of. Those little details that really make a game perfect 5/5

On your second and subsequent playthroughs, your deeper understanding of the characters gained allows you to discover "hidden messages" among portions of the dialogue. This makes the story experience richer and more rewarding. Not many games can make you feel the same way when you play them all over again - it draws you in like no other.

There are many games with good gameplay, but most of them just offer fun until you get bored.. But this game is full of message, you can learn many things from the story that you can apply in real life. Maybe the gameplay isn't very good but the story itself already make this game worth 5/5. Note : Xdanond learn flash programming by himself through tutorial, that's why the gameplay isn't very good. Maybe you can share tips how to make it better than just make a complaint.

I love the game but I have 1 complaint/request... I have no reason to ever stop firing so why can't an option for auto-fire? It would make the game a bit more fun, for me at least. Anyone agree? [+]

5/5 - Amazing game. Weapon variety, upgrades, skills, leveling system were well done. It's nice to have the freedom to take your character in any direction. The music was great, some characters had their own sort of theme song which helped you get a better feel for them. I found all the dialog to be a it much at the start, but I really got into it after a while. Never expected to find such a good story in a flash game. One suggestion I have is that you could have made Djinni and Efreti (sp?) a bit more godlike/elemental looking during their fight.

Loved it. The intro fight with the somewhat upgraded ship before the crash makes me want to have other similar battles. Maybe Mare with his ship as a playable in a side mission? Swig with the Mothership during one of the defensive battles? I think it would be interesting to play around with the other units like that, maybe for bonus moolah or something.

Amazing game, hope you win and hope theres a sequel, its hard to find a game of such immense quality as a flash game, this was extremely fulfilling to play just because of the well thought out story and how everything tied together, best game I've played on Kongregate.

The creator says large games like this are difficult to sell, but these games are PRECISELY what the people want. All you have to do is exactly what you did, post it to a place like Kongregate, and instant sell there. Next, you start making revenue ;) but of course, all of us at kongregate get everything free of charge for just being plain awesome :P

An RPG at it's best. Despite a few flaws I'm sure that all bother us (Like combat textures) I believe we can all agree that this really is what an RPG is supposed to be. People who complain about the dialogue are not true RPG fans, as dialogue IS what an RPG is. Great job xdanond, we're expecting a sequel!

Congratulations on an excellent game. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the dialogue and the pacing. It was surprising how well you managed to make the player relate to, empathise with and generally care about the characters. It might sound extreme, but I haven't felt so interested in character progression since Mass Effect.
The side-scrolling shooting element remained fun due to the large array of weapons, and the upgrade system was clear, easy and fun to use.
I would love to see a sequel, with possible dialogue choices to further the narrative of the game. However I understand that would add exponentially to an already vast amount of text.
Thank you for a well-written and carefully designed game. It was a pleasure to play.

Love it. 5/5. Would love a sequel. The music is good, gameplay is pretty cool and the storyline is great. If only other games were as amazing as this.

Loved the game definitely a 10/10 from me would love a sequel maybe with more exploration instead of going from mission to mission and I would like to be able to buy different types of space ships but other than that I loved the story of the game and I would definitely love a sequel.

I clicked the game name thinking it would be a fun time waster for the last hour. I wasn't disapointed. Kudos to you, Danond.

Friends and fellow gamers, I hereby recognize this as the best game I have ever played. This decision was not granted lightly, as I have played many games that I actually bought . . . but nevertheless, I must acknowledge the sheer beauty of what I have just gone through. Words fail me. . . to rate this game as a 5/5 simply would not do it justice!

I second ZombieGUY's motion. I would pay for a sequel to Starwish what I'd pay for a console game or a novel any day of the week. If it's half as good as Starwish 1, it would be worth every penny.

I'm just passed the Earthwall, about 4 hours of enjoying the intricacies of the story, the beautiful music, and awesome Gradia like like game play, of all the games I've played online (100 or maybe 200), I would truly place this game higher then all the others. It ranks Higher then most Consul games I've played as well (and I have an equally large collection of played games there too) I look forward to finishing it tomorrow night, and will defiantly keep my eyes open for a sequel. Thank you for making this game :)

I came for the badge of Monday, now I just finished the game, That was fun, and the story was excellent. The characters really are surprising and I grew attached to them very quickly. I love this game !

In case anyone wants to know: "chat.kongregate.com" without the quotation marks is the exact folder, as of the date of this comment, that the save for this game is in.
I like this game enough to make a copy of my saved data now that I've beaten it. Just in-case any computer glitches/oversights erase my flash cookies...again.

I would give this game a 6/5 on story alone...but the stupid rating system won't let me. I also loved the ending and though Ginny's ending was so sad:'(.

Count me in, I hate shooters, the story killed it for me. Deep, moving & evocative while witty and earnest. Bloody brilliant.

In all my years of playing flash games, I've never encountered a game with its plot and dialogue so well written. And not just by a little, this was professional Final Fantasy-caliber storytelling. You had no loose ends, no plot holes, and everything made sense. The characters were extremely well-developed, although most a bit static, and the relationships were genuine and intriguing. There was even punctuated levity! Near the end, the gameplay itself seemed secondary just to reading the story! Extremely well done, sir. I hope your talents continue to shine. This and MARDEK are probably my two favorite flash games. 100/5!
