Reviews for "Incubus Pulsum"
I really should like this game more than I do
Rhythm games are generally pretty cool, but this one was a bit too wacky for its own good.
If you're not good already at the game, its really difficult to just pick up and play. One's hands dont move very smoothly from pressing left+right to up+down on the arrow keys, yet this is the most common switch ive seen.
Its very hard to tell which is the next critter youre supposed to smash, the breif flash that tells you is very easy to miss, and without that, its not a stretch to miss the next volley due to that. When you fail (which for me was often) you have to wait through the 'losing' scene, which gets annoying, seeing the monsters invade earth 200 times is boring.
Music was good, I managed to get to the third song (with the finger cramps to prove it) and I must say NESkimos are on my 'watch this band' list now.
I'd suggest a way to let the user define their own controls, or to make it easier to time the smashing somehow (like DDR's 'beginner' mode that shows you exactly when to press the buttons) and maybe a way to skip the game-over and get right back to the 'select a song' menu, or immediate restart.
Other than that, a fine game. Read the newspaper article when you lose...
Try more than once- This is so true
This is yet the best game I have played for the whole contest, at least the most original with the story line concept.
The newspaper really cracked me up. Of course you do it for the love of it :P. I think you might want to improve the hitboxes, unless you really meant it to be on the exact head, not only the first tip of it. Having to kill one of the long creatures along with others at the small time was really hard...
Good luck, I think you should win the prize!
heh
controls sucked horribly, really need to fix the layout of the game man.
very low budget and not fun at all.

do you think flash authors get a budget to make their games?
Amazing.
Graphics-Simple, clean, good looking graphics. 10/10
Style-Amazing. All of the songs were synced extremely well, an important part of a Rhythm Game, and the 8-Way platform idea worked perfectly. Blows all of the other submissions so far out of the water. 10/10
Sound-Great songs, all syncing extremely well. 10/10
Interactivity(Control)-The controls worked perfectly. 10/10
Overall-A fantastic game. It stays fun, even after I spent about an hour trying to get all 5's except on Insane(That has to be unbeatable... Whoever manages through that has to be some kinda god.), it stayed fresh and fun. It was a very difficult game, but what's the fun in an easy game you can just fly through? All in all, a fantastic game. 10/10
