this game was amazing. So deep and rich in character. I was blown away several times when the characters revealed something about themselves. AMAZING GAME!!!! keep up the good work man. 100 out of 5

just a little tip for players against bosses with lasers (especially iblis): don't be phazed (pardon the pun) by those red beams of death, seeing them as an unapproachable barrier, you can actually just fly straight through them and a fair amount of the time you will just pass through without a registered hit, it's when you are exposed to them for a time when the damage is done. use this to dodge around them =D

you know.. this could make a good XBLA or PSN game.. just fix the small bugs and gets the graphics up to date. maby make it a 3rd person flying game instead of side scrolling and you can walk around mother ship and what not and i would defently get this.. the way it is now is still a 5/5

Okay, now that I've gotten the ragepost out of the way, let me be more polite about it. The cardinal sin of any game like this is to put an unavoidable situation where they cannot dodge attacks. This happens repeatedly against Iblis. For once, the intervals between his paired horizontal lasers mean that he can -- and often will -- herd you to the upper or lower front corners. This is substantially worsened by the existence of the low-life plasma beam, because this can coincide with the other lasers. If, for example, he does a sweep from up to down while the horizontal beam is going, then you have to tank the lasers. Yes, you have a health bar, and yes, you have bombs. The use of them should not be REQUIRED, because that puts you in a tanking fight, and you are fighting something with a hundred times your health. That's absurd. With this sort of fight, you NEED to incorporate actual changing AI. As is, it's terribly sloppy, and that makes it very, very aggravating for the player.

You know, I play shoot-em-ups fairly regularly. I enjoy bullet hell. I play a lot of video games in general. And I don't think I've *ever* run a cross a boss fight that seems as inherently unreasonable and unfun as Iblis. Congratulations! Tip: YOU DO NOT INCOPORATE MULTIPLE LARGE STRAIGHT LINE SCREEN DIVIDERS INTO A SHOOT-EM-UP, especially if there are other bullets going around the screen!

WOW. id say thats the BEST game on kongregate, maybe even one of the best games ive played. although gameplay is not as good as other games (like on xbox and such) the story line was simply amazing...id LOVE to see another one. 10/5

phoenix, it's different because it has a story... most don't have a story and if they do it's not very good.
11thor11, can you remember the name of the game?
kk911, some people might say, you just can't beat it... I won't though. I just want to say I think having rpg elements added to it make it better not worse.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The RPG elements like story, characters in this game are excellent, but unfortunately the shooter part is mediocre. You should consider making a traditional RPG or ARPG next time.

I think it would be great to get some artists to do visuals for the cutscenes, you know, for a more immersive expression of the story.
Also, I would love to help out with a future project on this in any way I could. It's an amazing idea of a game.

This game is absolutely phenomenal. Characters, personalities, dialogue, storyline, twists, music, and lasting appeal. Some parts had me smiling from the humor, and others had me near tears from the sorrow. Such a powerful and moving game. Also, with playing it on hard the gameplay is difficult enough to really hold my interest. Getting all endings was so fun and seeing how each of them turned out invoked so much emotion because I really felt attached to the characters. The last few sentences about the universe in each ending are such important life lessons. xdanond, thank you so much for this powerful and moving game. You are going to go on to such great things.

In all honestly, the gameplay isn't original, the graphics are generic, the levels are repetitive and there are many minor yet significant bugs throughout. Yet despite all this, This is one of the best games on Kongregate due to the engaging storyline and amazing characters. I hope that future game makers can learn from this game in that a great game isn't one crammed with realistic graphics and complex particle physics, but instead one that can tell a good story.

For the people who asked, it IS possible to defeat the ship in the prologue. I recommend doing it with a new game plus.

Great Game! It has been a long time since I've played a 5/5 game on Kong, its been going down hill a bit in quality games lately... I'm so happy I could hug you! I agree with Thystonius, you should make it an iOS game (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and if you put a bit more effort into it and make it a full length interactive game like Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, Chronicles of Inotia, Dungeon & Hero, and the many others, you could sell it for $5.99 or whatever, it will Definitely sell if its the next Starwish, and when you sell 50,000 copies you'll make $299,500 (-the apple tax) And no doubt you will sell a lot more then that! I wish you the best of luck!

yep... the only thing bad about this game is the save option.... i clicked save then quite. then the next day i got on it was all gone. but otherwise.... 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Looks nice, sounds nice and has a nice story but I found controls were not good. If I hold up first then I can't also hold left or right to make a diagonal move and likewise if I'm holding left or right first and then press up or down I can't make a diagonal move. If the control was better then it would be very good but this seriously lets it down in my view :(.

Dislike the troubles with the save options. Love the rest of the game. Too bad I have to replay a large part again ;-;

When I first saw this game I was like ugh not another side scrolling space shoot -.- Well I have nothing better to do at the moment, played through it didn't read anything just skipped it all, was a little turned off that the bosses were re-used. I started reading the final maps conversations...was blown away. Loved it, Now I'm re-playing it on hard, reading all the conversations and trying to get the other endings ( although I already saw them on youtube.)
This game is just amazing. Please make another lol XD also can you make the secret ending cannon? Ginny dieing sucks, and the rest not getting there wishes suck >.<

My one wish for this game would be autofire. (Naturally, it would not apply to the Charge gun.) There's really no reason not to be firing all the time, and there are a lot of secondary controls (to switch weapons, pause, and activate overdrive). It'd be easier if I didn't have to keep a finger pressed down on the fire button.

Beautiful game. Love the art, character depth, and gameplay. Well done. Having now seen all endings, I have to say I like the two "no wish" endings best. Too bad you can't vote for them. I especially like that they involve giving a wish to someone who isn't otherwise an option. One small bug is that I've had trouble with overly aggressive hit detection on obstacles, particularly in Absolute Zero, where my ship has repeatedly gotten caught on walls, taking damage and unable to move, when I was pretty sure I hadn't touched them.

All the different endings, including the special one, are so damn amazing! Each ending fits the story as well. I'm dumbfounded :-)

Crap, ran a cleanup of my computer and it deleted my cookies :(... like the story, the game itself needs abit of work imo. Aint really happy with the upgrade system, or the levelup system.

OMG!! xdanond!!! you compose the sound track yourself?? you are truely amazing... you see alot of great game producer out ther, but you are the most dedicated maker i've ever seen... Thank you for making this game...

The only thing I had a problem with is that there is no save button, or a way to continue a story from where you left off, I enjoyed the game though, love the game-play and story, one of the best games I played on this site, I would appreciate if you have the save feature on the sequel. 5/5 + Added to Favorites.

Great game. Great Storyline. Best flash graphics EVER. What more must I say? xdanond, you really did great on this game. probobly the most addicting game I've ever played. I really liked the wave gun and the chain gun, those two were my favorites. plus, all those mods... as I already said, great game. Even the music matched the themes. The one thing I didn't like was... well actually I can't think of anything I didn't like :P. I hope some day you can get around to making a number two of this great game
