FIREWORKS Is Out!
littlebelle:
Well I love the music and if I could actually get fireworks on the last level it sounds so cool. I do love the 1812 Overture !!!!!! But and the biggest complaint unless you have a really good computer this game freezes so bad you can not move the space bar and give up trying to aim at any fireworks. I was never very good at fireworks on VMK but unless they tweak this to save the memory lag many players will not be able to enjoy this game.
Any suggestions on how to save memory that this game seems to eat up.
I have 1024 dual ram and can not get anything to work. after say second level and by the last level I just tried to get any fireworks to explode so it sound great with the music.
Yes very disappointed in the quality of this game. However I do enjoy it is like the old fireworks before the remix. Hate the remix got to enjoy the old game.

I am wondering about the credit payout here as well. I know I can play a game of AWA and get a lot of credits. I know this game is shorter, so maybe it would add up to about the same?
I know they are trying very hard and are new to creating games, but this game is almost identical. Clearly a few things are different - backgrounds, fireworks look, way of scoring, but it is very similar to the fireworks game we played before. I am just wondering if they are going to have to change it in some way at some point. :hmmmm:
Also having a bug in the lobby. Countdown to game starts over every time a new player joins.

I thought that was just me because I just couldn't wait for it to start and kept clicking "Play" over and over and over :rofl1:
Wow, the speed of those shooting up to sky, and my mouse having lag :( make it difficult. I do enjoy the music, but Gas is right, perhaps a way to turn that off might help eliminate some lag.

I do like the game and the music - quite a bit much lag and the fire works come a little fast. There are a few people coming up on the list with too much score -seems to be a descrepancy. I DC each game and have to start again to play again. I am not bothered that the game is similar and will leave that for them to sort out...I would at that it was one of my thoughts on the delay that it may have needed to clear the lawyers. Clearly if you are looking for real originality - you have come to the same place - if you wanted a replica - still the wrong place. I find it iss similar to when people take arcade games and make cheap emulator copies - I can play them, they are similar - and we do play but would prefer the real thing.
I like the credit - pulling in 500 a shot is not bad.

Bug I complete understand how you feel, yet I guess I will throw a different point of view from what I have seen. Also I don't mean this as a flame of your comments, but just something they triggered in me based on "more harsher" posts I have seen elsewhere.
When VMK closed so many complained that there was nothing else out there comparable, yet when something comparable, almost exactly alike (just a bit "hackish") is created, people complain about that too. It is the old "Cake and Eat It Too" saying coming to mind. I for one am one of those who actually root on the copy cat manuvers of VFK so far....at least up until the point it is one for one and then the creativity can grow. I personally miss VMK and am happy a similar game can occupy my time to some extent. Obviously I think it is a long ways off from VMK, but to me the other games out there are not even close in comparison and don't fill the void which VMK left.
Plus to see a knock off of the VMK Fireworks, it actually gives me some joy to think there will be another "Haunted Mansion" like game in the works. I guess I am just one who doesn't understand how so many petitions were signed for saving VMK for the sole reason there was no other Online Game out there for thier children etc. etc., yet when one comes along that is trying to be the same EXACT thing, all those hours spent signing, picketing, etc. are suddenly forgotten.
Look I agree, it is a little hackish as I said and yes some originality and creativity would be welcome as well, but I am happy to have a place that makes me feel a little of what I lost back in May and just can't comprehend why folks would complain about that.

I have not forgotten our battle to save VMK. I for one did not want an exact copy. We have laid the game to rest and have moved on with our lives-which was not easy for us. I wanted to see a new fresh original game. One based on family play and spending time with friends. I was hoping for the history that was promised us not some mish mash try to make reason out of their theme. I was hoping for fun cool games not copies of the ones we had. I think they are trying to cash in on the vmk fame it i think that is truly pitiful-sorry the way i feel. I also worry that at some point they are crossing the line. Disney will only tolerate so much and when they tire of it they will do something about it.
