Pretty good little game. I could see myself playing this every once in a while when I'm despirarely bored, but other than that it was nothing epic.
The character designs were pretty damn good, assuming you did them yourself. However, one thing I would have changed is the deaths - they could have been a little more varied (it was just a little uneventful seeing them die the same way every time), but other than that, no complaints in the graphics department. The backdrops on each scene were pleasant to look at, and being able to shoot certain elements in the backgrounds themselves was a pretty good addition.
Pretty good soundtrack in this one - some good Simpsons scores that brought back some memories from yeeeears ago. Props on that =D
As for the challenge, well... it wasn't exactly the most adrenaline-pumping game I've played. I think you had a pretty good concept as far as it goes - however, the execution was a little shabby. Maybe there should have been greater concequences if you accidentally shot someone you weren't supposed to? Also, maybe a health meter on the enemies would have made things a little more interesting. Maybe certain characters could take more shots than others - something like you had during the "Flanders Devil Battle" stage.
I did enjoy, though, the overall concept - traveling from scene to scene in Springfield hunting down the Flanders family was a very fine premise for this game. I'd be pretty interested in seeing a sequel or remake to / of this, seeing some improvements in the challenge factor, and maybe making it a little more interactive.
Overall, it was a pretty nice game, and you got a 9/10 and a 5/5 for the good work you put into it. A LOT better than half the other crap here on NG, and overall a nice little shooter game. Keep it up! =]

Where's the challenge? Where's the fun?
I made it to the end of the game with a mere 2 damage on my castle. Just spam your left mouse button and upgrade your "bolt."
I had to beat it twice 'cause I just couldn't believe it was that easy...

Not generally my "style" to listen to something along these lines, but I really saw myself getting into this. The overall basic song structure does a lot for it and keeps it rolling along smoothly with near expert execution on the guitar lines - I REALLY dug the sound you used for this as well. The pinch-harmonic solo works very well and blends perfectly with the rest of the song in that its nothing too fancy or show-off-ish, but rather just a nice, simple sound that hooks the listener. Nothing too fancy in the bass work, just the nice low end line following the guitars. The drums fit very nicely as well - programmed?
Overall you got a 10 and a 5 outta me for giving NG a good song that you obviously put a lot of work into... can't wait to hear it with vocals.

That is freaking awesome man :) Yeah I tried to keep it simple yet something out of the ordinary . Though I think the overall setup is too ordinary , I still think the song is one of a kind. Thanks alot :) I tried to make the solo as emotional as I could. I bit short perhaps , but I think that I succeded in what I wanted. But there are no pinch harmonics in the solo. The drums are programmed. I was told by a friend that I could use his digidrums etc , but he went on a vaccation. And I didn't want to wait :P A BIG thank you for your kind and extremly detailed review. If only everyone on newgrounds could write like you :)
Cheers.

Drum programming and guitar playing seemed perfect - factoring in, of course, the lack of solos. Good rhythm work, though.
The only thing I can complain about is the lack of the bassline... and... the vocals, no offense, were just horrible. And yeah, I know you didn't do them, but they're still part of the song, so that's something that needs to be touched on in a review. Dethklok is just straight Death Metal, nothing industrial or black metal-ish about them, which is where the vocals seemed to be. Not raw or "throaty" enough, if you will.
Overall, pretty good work. Stayed close to the original, but did nothing to really stand out, you know? Perhaps if you sort through this and produce another take, I'm sure you'll do something to spice it up.
Don't get me wrong, though. I did enjoy it, just offering some constructive criticism. =]
4/5 8/10

Catchy bass, good guitar line, and great drum programming.
My only complaint is a lack of variation in the drumline. Overall, though, I think it'd be a pretty nice song with some vocals.
Nice work =]
