Flash game analysis: Transmigration


http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/388286

More of an interactive music video than a game, but its god to see more people linking music to interactivity. essential its a scrolling shooter, you just mash the space bar and try and shoot as much things as possible, you start off swimming underwater but as the music reaches a crescendo your character flies from the water and transforms into a dragon, there are several other changes throughout this quick game, which only takes 2:15 to complete. Its the second highest ranked game in the ArmorGames / Newgrounds "Rock Out" rhythm game contest. Which shows how popular games that do more than just Simon says style gameplay are.



Good
Nice graphics and animation
great music
Good mix of music and interactivity
short and sweet.

Bad
Gameplay mainly involves mashing the space bar as much as possible
could use more game elements.
no sound FX, it would have been good if like Rez shooting things effected the music.
Why are there mines in the sky?
