Programming, 12/20
It was done very well, though there were glitches. I'll explain in a minute.

Graphics, 15/20
Again, done pretty well, though I think the main menu screen could have been a bit smoother.

Gameplay, 14/20
It played pretty smoothly, but there was one major bug. Upon death, your momentum is carried over into respawn. This occassionally caused a repeat death scenario, which was mentioned in the comments as "left-over-movement" deaths. That was one of two glitches.

Idea, 3/10
Although an excellent specimen of platforming epicness, it's been done before, many times, many different ways.

Music, 6/10
Pretty good selection, but I looked at the scripting, and you don't quite grasp how to put music in a game properly. Not meaning to insult you or anything, but I suggest you tamper with that some more.

Addictiveness, 9/10
As is the case with many platformers, it's pretty easy to sit and repeat a level till you beat it.

Extra Credit, 8/10
You had some good ideas with using wall jump, hanging on the ceiling, and changing level features. The cubes alternating which side you could jump on was a great feature, and added to the difficulty of the game.

Total, 57/100
You did a good job, but improvements could be made. Good Job!

This is actually better than I expected!

With the music thing I tried using:

forever if <levels=24 25 or 26> 
play sound blah

But it just wouldn't work and I tried many different methods but all didn't work. I was then pretty desperate to upload so I just did what you saw.

With the death momentum thing I will try to fix it.

Thanks for the review!

The script you should use is more like this,

when gf clicked
forever
if <(level) > [23]>
play sound [Dramatic Music v] until done
end

Ok I'll try that in a minute but I can't seem to fix the momentum glitch. I've tried as many things as I can think of but it's no good. Could you possibly help me?

You just need two scripts somewhere, anywhere really, that say this,

when I receive [Next stage v]
set [XV v] to [0]
set [YV v] to [0]

when I receive [dead v]
set [XV v] to [0]
set [YV v] to [0]

Programming, 10/20
There were plenty of bugs to go around. More info later.

Graphics, 12/20
There wasn't anything wrong with the actual drawings, but the animations of walking, jumping, and standing could use some work.

Gameplay, 8/20
Overall, it was fine, but bugs with platform sensing, the fact that you can't sit on a moving platform and wait for it to take you where you're going, the odd terrains that kill you when you touch them, and other things contribute to its low score here.

Music, 2/10
The music got a bit repetitive, and didn't quite fit the theme of the game.

Idea, 2/10
Platformers are seldom original, and rarely score high in this category.

Addictiveness, 5/10
It was a decent game, but not something I want to play multiple times.

Extra Credit, 2/10
The only extra in the game was the hook. It was a nice touch.

Total, 41/100
It's a good start, but it needs some work.

Glad I could help!

It's a good game, but also a hard game to pull off. There were some issues, which I will cover later.

Graphics, 10/20
Not bad, but not great. It appears you worked hard on them, and it's a pretty good job for homemade.

Gameplay, 10/20
There were glitches, such as defenses not appearing correctly, my lives going from 9 to nothing in less than two seconds (it only happened once, could have just been Scratch), and one that allowed the player to have infinite money. If one were to sell a defense, you could continue to press the sell button indefinitely, resulting in limitless supplies of cash.

Idea, 8/10
I really like this idea, congratulations on coming up with it!

Music, 8/10
I think you picked a pretty good track for this game, it fits it nicely!

Addictiveness, 10/10
Maybe it's just me, but I find slaughtering viuses hillarious! 

Extra Credit, 2/10
It was nice that you added those sound effects, they were a nice touch.

Total, 58/100
Nice Game! I'll definitely be playing it again!!!

Did you download it?

I did, all those bugs were both downloaded and online.

These glitches.

I made this game a while ago, I've made a major update for it but I'm waiting for 2.0 cloning before I release it, so this is the older version as it stands http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bullelk12/2888106
