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.

The most in depth flash game I have played on Kong since Mardek! Fantastic game, great characters! Wish we had more decision power over the dating-sim element of the game, though! I would love to be able to converse with the characters using multiple options and build up a friendship meter or some such? I realize that would be difficult, but I really like these characters so would love to be able to make my interactions with them my own!

dude you should write a book or something the way the storyline is expressed is amazing! (should be a 10000/5 button round here, just lemme find it)

Its a shame that Learn To Fly 2 has a better rating than this game. They are not even comparable... It just proves most people are interested in shallow and dumb games.... Not that Learn To Fly 2 can't be fun, but I think it is not 1/10 the work done by xdanond making this game. Its pathetic and its a shame....

Great game, my only complaint is that the story and additional dialogue, seems to be pretty long. There were times it felt like I clicked forever, and ultimately ended up just skipping everything after getting the basic parts. I'm not saying it should be removed, but maybe trimmed down.

Great work Zdanond, it was a wonderful game with a beautiful story. I really liked the existential messages throughout - especially in all the wonderful endings. Great work :D

Can you just change the background of the jungle maze level? It is not easy to distinguish the bullets from the background and the foreground.

just beat the "new game plus" at lvl149. i dont know what lvl it will stop at =\
is there even a lvl cap? this game got a 5/5 from me. spent about 6 hours or so playing it the first time thru, reading everything and grinding when needed. only played on normal, but last boss is even more of a P.I.T.A. the second time thru. love the music, the story is top notch, i think people should be able to vote on the ending of "no wish" since it is the best one there is.

why does this game have to be beaten by an overrated launcher game for the monthly contest.
I really thought this game would win.
Couldn't kongregate just wait next month to enter the other game into the monthly contest?

Looks lize Ezra from the anime Fairy Tail in the loading screen. The snail looks like Maplestory or Spongebob. Awesome game

Loved the soundtrack, fantastic piano pieces. Thanks for giving the MP3s Auriplane.
And let me tell you right now, this is the kind of game that reminds me why I love RPGs in the first place. Story, characters, dialog, customization, gameplay, music, atmosphere, it all makes me sink into this game. I know it is not for everyone, but for the many of us that enjoy this genre, it's a blast.

I wish there was a sixth star to rate this! The story was the best I've seen in a long time. Great job with the balance between combat and talking. Keep up the good work and try to make your other games like this!

Really can't say I have seen a game on kong with a better story than this one. The deepness of the plots make me speechless. The combat may not be the best, but it is barely the focus anyway. Really appreciate all these efforts into the rich story, and the amazing music as well. To conclude, a legendary project, words cannot fully express its greatness.

This game is worthy of so much more than 5 stars! A clear masterpiece that has clearly had much more effort put in to it's creation than most other flash games out there.

man i can't believe a game got this high rated off of it's storyline. Its got elements that just don't fit with a shooter such as terrain that i can hit and enemies can go through. I honestly lost half of my health because i thought that the terrain was passable like it is everywhere else in these types of games.

This game has the best storyline I have seen out of any flash game. It is one of the best, and I can see why it is epic. This game's storyline is equal to, maybe even surpassing, of the Mardek series. Without a doubt, this game is EPIC. A sequel would be awesome as well.

I know this is an odd comment to make. But I actually dare say that my favorite ending is the one you did not let us vote for. The bad ending. While it was bittersweet, seeing a certain two siblings being able to live out their lives as humans was touching, even if they didn't remember anything from before. It was sorta oddly hopeful for the bad ending in a videogame.

This is one good game - although the gameplay is a bit repetitive, it has a nice length, an imaginative story and the endings are just beautiful. I followed the advice of redoing the boss for the different endings, and that was very good. 5/5. If possible I would rate [insert huge number here]/5, but alas, I cannot. Sequel please, but I'm not sure how the story would go

The dialogue is boring and stretches on and on and on and sounds, stilted, like a play written by a fourth grader, everything is a harsh abrupt statement, the characters take the same poses too often, but so far the rest of the game is great.

By far,one of the best RPG games I've ever played,if not the best.No other storyline has ever made me feel...well,sad.Brilliant storyline,amazing battles,and very addictive.I want to play it again.Oh,and to all you haters-why?Just why you gotta hate on a brilliant game?!

The first thing I did after finishing the game was rate it 5/5...at some points the game seemed a littel grindy, but it certainly wasn't unbearable (it could also be that I just suck at side scrolling shooters haha). The story drove the whole gram beautifully, the characters so well crafted. At first I was only interested in Ginny and Tessa's stories, but the longer I played the more I started to care for all the other characters. Music was amazing as well (:

very nice storyline, decent fighting, only think you could improve on save system, maybe multiple files and save after each mission, oh and have the endings accessible once you unlock them
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Bah. Spent a whole evening and morning to get all endings, got the endings, but somehow the save-file didn't work. I even made a copy of it... ah well. Great game! :-)

This game is a perfect argument that video games can be art. It has moved me as much as even the artiest film, and judging by the comments I'm not alone in that. You should be proud of what you've accomplished, xdanond.
