This was a hard game, but pretty good. The only real problem I had was the ridiculous precision requirement in some of the levels. Even using a guide, there were a few levels that took a lot of luck - the difference between a shot that clears a puzzle and one that misses one or two stars is just a degree or two off. Sadly, I doubt there's a good way to fix this.

~Nice graphics, but the amount of trial and error is just silly. (joeswm8 means: right-click, press play, keep doing it = lots of random stars and crazy stuff).~

Cool concept, level 50 was a tad bit ridiculous. I had to circle the entire thing incrementally to get it, not much problem solving there, just trial and error.

why does everyone hate the dang music repeat?! i thought it was great,infact 2/3 reason why i play this game is to listen to that very repeat...

Very simple yet greatly rewarding. The style really hit me well, and the music was well selected but it drove me crazy by level 2; it would have been much better if it even had a minute repeat, rather than a 10 second one. That is my only complaint though, and it isn't bad enough to lower my rating. 5/5

ActionJackson - One of the tennets when you first learn flash (As I did as part of a degree course) - is that the idea is to deliver your content as quickly as possible (remember, when the platform came out, the average net users bandwidth wasn't amazing) It's still good practice now. Another song or two would increase loading times dramatically, and kind of render the point of streaming content moot, it'd make more sense to just grab a version for Hard disk.

Wow, the music drove me crazy. It's great music, mind you, but instead of looping the same thing over and over, couldn't you have given it a smidgen of variety?

Great game. Well thought out puzzles. And I like how on some levels it tricks you by providing an easy way to light all but 1 or 2 stars just to mislead you into thinking you're on the right track when the real solution is something totally different.

Great, unique idea, but very poorly executed. Ridiculous amount of trial and error makes this game practically unplayable. 42, in particular, was nigh-impossible; even when I knew which star to hit and how, nicking it just right was pretty much impossible. Meanwhile, I would get several in a row easily on my first shot. So, great game, poor layouts. 2*s

Very nice, but I had issue with #43...I was unable to solve it until after I changed my quality setting to high. Nice nonetheless.

If you look at the arrows and memorize which direction the stars will go, it's actually quite a logical puzzle. Very, very tricky, though. But I agree with some of the previous comments about the music. Could have had longer music, or alternating ones. Nevertheless, the music fit the game perfectly

Well you've made a great game here. I enjoy games where a developer has taken the time to make others think. Is there anyway to randomly generate levels? The music fits, but as has been mentioned, it's WAY too repetitive. However, I love the simple yet elegant look. Nice job!

Game is well done and entertaining, while I will agree it is a guessing game somewhat if you really sit down and look at the puzzle before shooting it can be quite fulfilling.

really slick puzzle game. I really enjoy playing it. It reminds me immensely of those at Orisinal.com which is a high compliment in my opinion. I do agree there's a bit of guess work in it, but I think if one was bright enough and willing to sit and look at it long enough you'd be able to complete each level on the first try. But seeing as how neither of those are me I'll never know! :) keep it up

I'd say about 90% of the game is guesswork, since there's very little deduction you can make on what exactly triggers the chain reaction. Just get a good aim and try; repeat until win. Not particularly good, but at least, it looks pleasant.

only thing i missed was something to show in which level am i... instead of quitting to main menu every once in a while

Interesting idea, with challenging gameplay. My only suggestion is to add more levels with more different types of stars/obstacles.

Interesting bug: lvl 14 doesnt work if you lower the quality. I put it on high quality and the same shot that didn't work prior did work...?
