Reviews for "The Pick of Destiny"

Well

At first I thought this one was just going to be another mediocre music flash since it used the basic arrow clicking style, but I was quite surprised right from the start of my first round. First of all I have to say, excellent music choice. I was wondering if you'd slip in a Tenacious D for the final song, but I particularly liked the one with the "hellooo" voice from that stupid ad banner. The first round I tried for a while it seemed like the arrows weren't quite perfectly synced up to the riffs, but right after that song they were all perfect.

Sometimes it's the most basic ideas for flash games that end up being the best, and this one is a good example of that. I did like the game where it was arrow hitting and the four arrows would spin around making it harder to tell which arrow to hit, but that game could have used a much better music selection and a few basic changes.

Well one bad thing is how short the game is. I completed every song and the final song to get the secrets pretty quickly, and theres nothing to do after that. Some cool stuff added might add more replayability to it. It really isn't "way too hard" as that guy says, not even close. I've known about the basic DDR style 4 arrow click rhythm keyboard game for a long time now, and my sister and her boyfriend are both masters of it (her boyfriend one of America's best DDR and arrow key players) but I never really thought I'd do well with it, since I'm not very good at DDR. I prefer Guitar Hero much more. This game really made me think I would love to play that DDR arrow key game and could be good at it, too. I think ill install it and try it tonight.

I feel guilty that the one that's been done before is better than all these other NG music games that are coming out the past week, but what they need to fix in all the other ones is the ENJOYMENT of the game. You nailed the enjoyment factor well, even though its quite small/short of a game. But of course we don't expect such a huge game from a flash game unless it's a TD. Good job man.

Cheers

Excellent review. That's what really matter after all, right? Enjoyment and replay value. There are many good looking games out there that don't have these na dhave a low score. Thanks for the review.

great game

I've read some reviews for this game and they say its off timing and everything else...

I have not had this problem it was perfectly synced but the game in general is a tad too easy the only pick i had trouble with was the armour pick which i failed once because i missed 1 beat which screwed me up bad because with the miss you had to wait till the miss animation is done before you can hit a great or perfect which is something im not too keen on... but as you said this is not a bug...

another thing i noticed is in the how to play when it gets to the notes the right arrow comes up and then it says
"in this case the left arrow would be pressed" when it should say right...

again perfectly synced had no problems i WAS going to give up because the game was 2 easy then when i got to the armour pick it got more fun

Overall its a fun game and you should make another one with harder songs in it.

Great rated 5 and will add to favorites for sure

LilDwarf responds:

Thanks alot. Those who say it isn't synced, think the only beat there is is the one they know >:(

Thanks for the review.

Well that was fun

I liked it, it was like DDR without a dance mat.

LilDwarf responds:

Yes it was :)

I loved it!

Great game! It was different from some rhythm games because in your game, you actually had to listen to the music to get it perfect, but for some you have to look at the arrows to make sure it's perfect. I usually don't like rock music, but I liked today! Loved your game! Wasn't to hard neither. I got the last level on the third try, and that's amazing for me! Great job!

LilDwarf responds:

Hahaha I'm happy to hear that. Thanks for the review.

Great Game! TOO HARD!

LilDwarf responds:
