i would like to say this is a fun and innovative game, but, as other people have said, it gets boring rather quick. also the bullets move so slow it was impossible to aim with them. the whole system actually felt very unresponsive.
It got really unbearable to climb the same wall a thousand times just because i kept falling down somewhere. either make it harder to fall 10 stories or easier to get back up (i realize thats what the teleport was for but still gotta be easier). also, bug: the first time i fell into the pit on the second level i got transported to another, much harder level (couldn't tell you which one cause i never got past the second level).
but i really like the concept.
right after the arcade bomb splash it goes black. 0/10 ?/5--if the problem isn't fixed when i return to your game in a couple days, its a 0/5, sorry man.
you lost a star cause its too hard, and a bit frustrating at times. for example, if you are stopped directly beneath a grind bar you want to grind on, good luck, cause your character must travel about a yard before being able to jump. try it. stop, then start moving, and see how long it takes you to jump. normally not a problem, but again, if you are directly underneath the grind bar you want to grind on, and that bar slopes up a yard away, its crucial.
things i;d like to see in a sequel? maybe move a little faster, this guy was pretty slow. and more in your environment than just standard half-pipes and grind bars. its called skateboard city, let me half-pipe onto a building,grind off its electrical wires... oh, and the combo should multiply your score for a trick. whats the point of racking up sweet combos all i get for them is a pat on the back. speaking of scores there's an easy way to cheat in this--you can set up a trick, the one where you balance on a half pipe, so that you are perfectly balanced. then first place on the scoring system becomes whoever is willing to sit there the longest on a half pipe. i was going to get first place just to prove a point (also because ive never gotten first place on any flash game ever) but i misread the top score as fifty thousand instead of five hundred thousand. but getting to sixty thousand took long enough for me (maybe 15 minutes) , and i am not dedicated enough to my point to let the game run in the background for a couple hours so have fun, whoever was in first place and has probably already been usurped by someone with far more patience than me.

looks intriguing
but i cant get past the stab scene. ive retried more than 20 times, and even tried to use the tab key to find hidden buttons.
Beer bottle, my dear Watson, beer bottle.
Also, my 12 year old sister found that one out.

great idea but too fucking tedious
It got really unbearable to climb the same wall a thousand times just because i kept falling down somewhere. either make it harder to fall 10 stories or easier to get back up (i realize thats what the teleport was for but still gotta be easier). also, bug: the first time i fell into the pit on the second level i got transported to another, much harder level (couldn't tell you which one cause i never got past the second level).
but i really like the concept.
I'll be checking that bug.

Works for me. Why would I want to fix it for you anyway? You're very rude!

nice
I found this game fairly entertaining despite the fact that i had absolutely NO idea what was going on at any point whatsoever.

very good
its great but it needs a difficult setting, and it NEEDS a save button.
also bugs are a problem... the only times i lost were because of bugs. ooh and make it longer.
but i really like the gameplay, better than most TD's

a very good 2d version of tony hawk.
