A piece of Newgrounds history. Amazing how such humble beginnings eventually became so epic and inspired countless other works from so many people.

Also, for anyone wondering where the music is, somehow it gets lost in mp4 format. Just click "swf" format under the author information on the left side of the screen and it's still there.

Indeed worth the wait!

Review: Graphics: 10/10. You're often compared to Krinkels, but I have to say that when it comes to visuals, you're the superior artist. Colorful scenery, exciting battle effects, and the best combat animation I've ever seen in any flash. It's astounding how you keep surpassing yourself with each new installment of the series.

Audio: 10/10. Excellent quality, exciting and suspenseful. The rapid beat goes along perfectly with the insanely fast fighting. Rajunen should be proud---if he put his stuff on the Audio Portal, I'm sure it'd be at the top.

Combat: 10/10. Shit, that was fast! I thought that the final lightsaber battle of BK3 was fast, but BK4 matched its speed in its SLOWEST moments and ridiculously surpassed it over and over again. The fighting style was indeed very ninja-y, with countless hidden weapons and assailants attacking from the shadows. The best fighting I've ever seen. I loved the Super Saiyan sorta deal that Snowball had at the end, too. :-D

Overall presentation: 10/10. It's hard to believe that the series could get better after BK3, but shit, this one kicks its ass. Even if the BK movies are one-shots when it comes to continuity, the addition of a female fighter certainly makes things more interesting, and one wonders if this will be her last appearance.

Ways to improve: There's nothing that this flash lacks that I can think of. The only thing I can suggest is that the next installment not take as long as this one did...but honestly, if BK5 is as awesome and lengthy (I was amazed that the excellence kept going for so long!) as this episode, take all the time you need. It'll be worth the wait.

Not the worst Tetris variant I've seen.

...but not the best, either.

Graphics: 6/10. Reasonable graphics and animation. Nothing stellar (except perhaps for the background, har har, get it, there are stars), but I know what everything is and the 3D effect is alright.

I dearly wish that you had included an option to toggle quality, however. There's a brief chance to right-click and toggle it during the preloader, but once the game starts, you're stuck with it.

Sound: 0/10. No sound? Really?

Playability: 8/10. Controls are fluid enough and the rules are sensible, and that's all that's really required for a game this relatively simple. Pausing when one clicks outside the flash window is a nifty thing.

Overall presentation: 3/10. The gameplay itself is solid and the graphics are alright, but the lack of sound, in-game quality control functions, and absurdly long into more than cancel out its strong points.

Ways to improve: Firstly, SOUND. Sound effects and background music are both necessary for a quality flash. Secondly, as I said, the ability to control quality level is a must---either don't disable it in the right-click menu or have a button, in-game or on the keyboard, that toggles it. Lastly, the intro is very long (another reason why quality control is important---it might speed it up a bit)---the whole 'light up the title' sequence takes so long that waiting through it for the game is...well...not worth the wait. Tidy up these flaws and you'll have a MUCH more solid game.

Haha.

Least exciting quest ever. ;-)

But a very accurate summary of the events of that fateful day. It must be humiliating to be detained by something called the Mental Health Act, haha. Nice stuff you got here.

Difficult but decent.

Graphics: 9/10. Rather nice. The arcade-style graphics brought the nostalgia, and the clean-cut modern graphics brought the sexy. Together, it's a nice blend. Nothing to complain about here.

Sound: 9/10. Like the graphics, the audio managed to strike a balance between catchy and awesome and old-school. Altrio's frustrated "goddamn it" was a nice touch, since I often yelled the same thing when I died. ;-)

Playability: 8/10. The controls were nice and responsive, and the hit detection was fine, but the game is extremely difficult even on easy mode. It's very easy to get juggled by barrels and Molties and lose half your life from a single mistake. With no way to recover health other than losing a life, this can get frustrating.

Humor: 9/10. Two alcoholics chase each other through a beer factory and fight to the death. What's not awesome about that?

Overall presentation: 9/10. With good graphics, nice sound, and both puzzles and battles to contend with, this game is enjoyable even if occasionally frustrating. The use of the medal system gives it good replay value and something extra to shoot for, and I hope to see it added to more of your games in the future.

Ways to improve: being juggled sucks enormously, and even with good reflexes, it's bound to happen a few times. Perhaps a way to restore health would make this less aggravating...the beer bottles would be a logical choice, allowing you to recover one heart on easy/normal mode, but keeping brutal mode at the same insane difficulty.

Other than that, this game is swell. Good job.

Very nice.

Well-played, clear, and soothing. A very relaxing piece of music. Good job.

Screams magnificence!

I loved this. Extremely catchy, quick-paced, and smoothly connected...absolutely no flaws at all. I could see it going very well with a fast-paced boss battle, too.

Fifen'ed, favorited, downloaded. Good to see that you're still making audio here. :-D

Very calming.

I know that saying it 'sounds like ice' may seem strange, but honestly, that's the best description for it that I can give. Its calm echoing gives the sense of loneliness, but it's nowhere near desolation...more like someone is looking out on something beautiful, but somewhat forbidden to see from afar.

This piece is very relaxing, almost trance-y. Good stuff. Keep up the good work.
