Without a doubt, probably the best game I've played in years. Possibly the best on Kong. I love this game so much, I spent at least 3 days playing it over and over. Amazing game.

This game plays wonderfully off of the success of many old genres of games. It has immersive storyline, fun gameplay, and brings back waves of nostalgia of the vertical shooters from the early 2000s.

I don't like the level titled absolute zero way to easy to get trapped and life goes down really fast when you bump into walls.

This game is amazing! Normally, whenever I play a game, I usually just go through it until I decide "Eh, time to play another game" But this, I played it more and more, intent on finding out how it ends. I haven't seen yet, but I'm really excited. This will be, literally, the first online game which I complete the story of! Great job! Keep up the work! 5/5

Ginnys ending is so sad! I teared up.
Y u no let me be with her forever? T_T
Other than that... 5/5. I laughed. I cried. I actually enjoyed the gameplay. I voted up the making of a sequel. I love this game.

Absolutely loved it. I agree with what most people here have been saying: The shooter component was a little strange in places, but the story and characters are so vivid and well-written that it easily makes up for the little gameplay difficulties. I like the "Vote Ending" feature in principle, but I feel like certain characters get left in the lurch regardless of what "official" ending is chosen. Besides, the "No Wish" endings were the only ones which really felt complete for me, taking the whole cast into consideration. Certain character requirements are also more stringent than others, which seems to give a rather unfair advantage in voting.
Still, a one of the best games I've ever played. You can be sure I'd play a sequel, regardless of which ending becomes canon, though I'm going to place another informal vote for the Secret Ending. I think it leaves the most potential storytelling options open.

I skipped all the diologue and the gameplay was shallow, why do people like this game? It's R-Type with RPG stats and not even good RPG stats.

I must say... times have truly changed indeed when it comes to gameplay. Back then, all there was game wise was Mario and Luigi, and very slowly, more games were made with more meaning. However, as time progressed, games took a different role, becoming more violent, wasting countless hours of life, and simply having no point. Not many things created from human beings like us have meaning anymore, especially when it comes to videogames. This game is a rare exception... it has life lessons for all of us to learn, and it is perhaps one of the best games I've played in my life. The dialogue is excellent, and I feel like the characters actually exist. Not many people make games with such detail as you had.... Congratutlations, 5/5. Easily one of the best games on Kongregate... I don't remember crying a tiny bit ever from a videogame

if nobody's noticed it yet, there's a mistake in the cutscene where you unlock the sawmine: instead of deadeye saying "Fine, I won't explain how the sawmine works then.", Deuce says it instead.

My browser closed down, I lost about an hour and a half of game D=. I've literally never been so gutted over a flash game. 5/5 regardless though.

Awesome game, even though I accidentally overwrote my save, I'm going to play it again (I was playing normal, got to enigma, started having a LITTLE difficulty, and wanted to compare easy, I didn't notice the warning message D:)

Amazing game. Like a good book, the storyline kept me hooked until the very end. Not many games can claim that with me.

I have only finished my encounter with the Earthwall, but I wanted to congratulate you for what is a fantastic game. I love RPGs, played many of them, but this one, despite being a flashgame, comes out as a great one that I will not forget about. The storyline, characters (design and behaviour) and the music are entertaining and touching. Square Enix could look for people like you : I'd buy any game of this quality without hesitation. 5/5

This was an EPIC game, incredible storyline, gameplay could use a little tweaking, but the storyline was so great it hardly even matters! SEQUEL!

Registered just so I could review this game. An amazing cast. Major kudos for using all these archetypes yet making them feel organic. The story itself was pretty good, though I was surprised by the prominence of the fantasy elements. I missed an explanation as to how these elements came to exist in this universe. Another strong point is the soundtrack. It matched the tone of the story and was easy on the ears. The gameplay itself is solid. The weapons are well balanced and most remained useful throughout the game. Rarely needed to grind after finding the right weapon for a level/boss. The dating sim elements were a nice addition though it was at times difficult to discover what triggered the final conversations. Bad points: getting sucked into a wall and dying. Goodbye hours spent on those endings. It would also have been nice to see some different enemies near the end. I also missed a help file with what each stat does. A great game and I look forward to seeing more games from you!

Love this game, but it's really disappointing that you can't vote for either of the "no wish" endings (the default of the secret one). I feel one of those should be canon over all the character-specific endings.

lol great game and what not but in the description if you click "show more" it shows more but takes up less space..... that made me laugh

Man... I love this... I just can't stop playing it. It's one of the few games with decent dialogue that doesn't make me want to kill myself, its funny, and it has great gameplay. I love the story, and it fits in with the levels well. This is perfection in shooter form. Thank you for making this. NOW MAKE MORE! NOW!

Best part of this game is when you're stuck between a giant purple laser and 2 small red lasers, and there's literally no way you can avoid getting hit! I mean I love the story, music, etc., but the gameplay is far from perfect.

oh come on, this game is like those crappy anime games from newgrounds.
And who STILL plays video games for the story? smh 1/5

I love holding conversations with mare. If you have like 1 person to ask left and its between johnny or mare I'd pick Mare like any other normal person who seeks verbal wisdom from a man with few words.

This game is something I have been waiting for... I guess... It has the thing that makes me desire it with every piece of my body. However, there are some minor issues... Like the shhoter part of the game has glitches like passing through walls. Also, because I didn't frequent Jhonny at the earliest parts of the game, I missed some explanation of the skills... and possobly more. If the conversations (including the 'Ask Jhonny's(Actually, there should be a seperate menu for that, since it's the tips section practically)) weren't that strongly linked to the current world current stage, it would make the game seem more alive.
[!SPOILERS!]
Also, You might consider adding the 'No Wish' ending to the votables, because I honestly belive, that so from the 4 ending I have seen so far, it's the best (along with the bamboo one).

To all those that feel clicking to skip dialouge is a pain for story.
When was the last time you played a real game?
Also spacebar is friend.
