Sometimes it is hard to distinguish foreground elements you can crash into from background. On some backgrounds enemies projectile are hardly visible. Difficulty curve is weird, i.e. I had no problem completing missions all through the last "pack". There I had to grind a bit. The very last level was trivial in comparison.
As for writing, I think it's alright, though cutting it would be nice. After starting the game I was greeted by 5minutes of exposition, 30sec of gameplay, and another 6 minutes of exposition. Another thing is a situation when everybody is tense and prepared to fight for their lives, but when you talk to them they will speak light hearted about their drinking problems, how their cooking is crap and who does Douce fancy the most. Also often happened that I could visit someone at the bar, yet there was no one there, and a situation when I had to choose who shall I talk to.

There are some issues I ran into that would detract from general playability, such as, as others have mentioned, it can be confusing to know which upgrades affect what with your ship, and how much better they are compared to such and such level weapon. Seems to revolve around the "higher level is always better" idea though, so not too much of an issue, but it can throw some people off first few levels. Also, some of the terrain/other objects the player can run into during a level are actually a bit hard to make out... I do appreciate the "realisticness" of it (run-into-able terrain should look like ground terrain, except.. you can run into it) but it needs to stand out in some fashion because it can be hard to avoid enemies' stuff all the while keeping an eye out for these things. Other than that really amazing game, wish I was half as good at making art and sound =(

are all these comments paid? if a game plays shitty, i dont care about the story... obstacles are nearly undistinguishable from background, enemies can fly through anything, players ship and own lasers cant? stupid.

I played this game the other day and made quite a bit of progress, but now it appears to have been erased. Any suggestions on why this has happened?

I would just like to point out, for that comment of you saying should you make a sequel, you got aboiut 1/5th to 1/4th of all Kongregaters saying that you should, including me. By the way, beautiful game, 5/5. One of best flash games I've seen in a long time

when ginny is talking about her star shattering you put two "is" in the sentence.
"Our star operates differently from your familliar concept of one. It is the same size when viewed from any distance.What you hold is is the full size of our star"-Ginny

This one of the best flash games I've played in years, I've been playing it since I clicked the link 2 hours ago! The story is engaging, the game play is nice and simple to learn and so fun!
I love this game, five stars!

So for anyone who saw Green Lantern which was an ok movie, did any of you notice it was alike this game? I mean they use fear and willpower while desire is used in this game. "Immortals" were able to harness the 3 powers. The "immortals" give these powers to a selected group and they can have anything they want? Loved this game. Any thoughts?

This game reminds me of a PS2 game called Ar Tonelico. Other than the fighting is a side-scrolling shooter instead of a conventional RPG, it's elements, like anime visuals, odd characters, and humorous dialog are on par with it. Great game! 5/5

A very interesting game. I must say I got bored quite quickly and skipped some dialogue on my first try. Second try, cup of coffee, reading all the dialogue got me into the story a lot better. Finished it straight that time, didn't unlock all the endings though. The game itself is a little repetetive to try it over and over for the seperate endings, and I have no clue what the achievements are yet. All in all I gave it a 5/5 for compelling story :D

Get to level 140 with maxed out int and def, put all 240 mods into shields, start final battle, place paperweight on spacebar, come back to see if you won yet.

As great as the story was, I still feel that it was overly long with not enough of the actual combat bits. Also, some of the weapon types were clearly underpowered. Once I had the wave gun and the scatter missiles I didn't use anything else. The "chain" gun didn't do enough damage to even compete at the stage in the game that you get it (not even after its upgraded to an equivalent level) or have enough range. Scatter missiles were likewise super powered because when you get the x2 missiles, its the only missile type that doesn't send half of them behind you.

This is one of the best games I have ever played. I am dead serious. The storyline was magnificent and the best I've seen of any RPG (I didn't mind the long dialogue). The difficulty curve is one of the most balanced I've seen in any flash game, and though the shooting part of the game wasn't anything new, I actually had to strategize on a few levels to achieve my goals. This is worth a 5/5. I will never regret that decision, and I hope to see a second, if the developer doesn't mind :)

This game is great. The story made me play the game from start to finish without taking even a single break, dialogs are deep and touching, and in addition to that the fighting part is really decent. I am 100% sure this game could win the monthly prize, but it simply appeared at wrong time, challenging learn to fly 2 is simply too hard, because there is still a lot of people that doesn't care about the story, just the game play.

I absolutely loved the game! I gave it a 5/5. The story is the best I've seen in a flash game and it's better than some actually video-games' storylines too. The characters are beautifully drawn and the weapon progression is great. The scenery while battling is my only gripe as it doesn't mesh very good and ruins immersion. Other than that this an absolutely perfect game and I'm sure I'm speaking for most people when I say that we would love a sequel.

This game is just amazing. I mean, this whole story. You prob really had a hard work creating it all, for sure... I'm usually a strong guy, but I'm afraid of telling you that this game made me cry. I read the whole story, since the beggining. Even restarted the game to correcly understand what happened in some parts. Thank you, xdanond.

The starting screen really put me off, but the actual story and gameplay made up for it ^^
If you make a sequel (hopefully you do!) It would be best if you put more effort into a more sophisticated start up screen.

For people who are trying to kill the final boss, you can fly through his lazers BUT if you stand still his lazers can hit you. Thumbs up so everyone can see the message!

Reasons to use the special ending as the cannon..
1) It will create no haters. Other endings, especially ones where Deuce ends up with one girl or another, would probably make many people angry. People will be saying, 'Why did he end up with HER, I wanted THIS to happen, I never liked that ending in the first place, this game is stupid, ect. ect.
2) Deuce is still single in the'special ending. I think that is a big thing, because if he is already taken in the sequel, it wont be able to have that fun little dating sim-like side that made this game so much fun.
3) OPTIONS! Oh the options! With most of the other endings, the future for Deuce is kind of planned out. But in the special ending, the only limitation is that they have to start out on Bamboo! Anything else is open for interpretation! There are so many options to how a sequel could go with the special ending!
There are many others that I just couldn't fit in 1k letters, like Ginny's life. But Thumbs Up if you agree with me!

This game was amazing, music was well placed. Storyline was very well done and definitely captured those that played. Well done and I'll look forward to anything else you create.

Some amazing quotes in the game especially at the end where it was soemthing like 'so make your life a good one. No. Make it a great one.' THE END. Wooo. Beautiful story man. I would've gladly payed money for this. I support you fully and if you make a sequel I will be forever in your debt! :) congrats on a great game!
