It's still one of the best gamemaker games ever! I wish we could see more games like this.

[Orc Leader]

So fun this gets a 10/10.

[Lillit]

Gah, hard puzzles! >...<

[WilliamC24]

I'm having issues with the 5th dungeon switch puzzle, I'm quite stuck. The switches just flash, I shoot them, I bomb them, and I slash them to no avail. And the flashy thing on the floor just flashes, and I have no clue what to do with it.

[Srehpog]

If you haven't already got through by now, you might want to see what happens if they're all flashing. It's also worth remembering that for the rest of the dungeon...

[Harry OK]

The best game I have rated thus far. A++++++

[edmunn]

I may sound like a complete noob at RPG's, but i can't get pass through level 1. D=

Absolutely nothing happens when I have them all flashing. I shoot the switches simultaneously and nothing happens.

[Srehpog]

You should be able to set them all off simultaneously by using a bomb or two, and the rifle. If you can't, take a screenshot of the room you're in and I'll have a look.

hey great game, I've had a ton of fun playing it.

only problem is that Im stuck in the dungeon in chatper 5. I can't seem to figure out the switch puzzel in the room that has the nest for those little bug things. I know how to do the switch puzzles, but in this puzzle i can't seem to hit all of the switches at the same time. The problem seems to be that the rifle fires to slowly, am I supposed to have an upgrade for it by this point or something?

[XKingBobX]

Sweet game! I love it

Hopefully soon I'll finish the game

[goldensun]

This is, by far, the greatest Game Maker game I've ever seen, and I can see you obviously put alot of effort into it, thanks for the great game.

OH! And the ending, while I will NOT ruin it for other players, but I will say that the story is very good and I felt a siezable amount of emotion at the end, I will not specify the emotion in particular, for it will ruin the ending for the other players.

Thanks for the great game,

CONS:

> When you die you lose all the stuff until the last save.
> The screen change hurts the eyes after a while
> You walk so close to the people it's like you are standing on their feet
> It took a little to long to find the stupid directions for the Plains area
> Some of the controls are a little far apart
> Rifle bullets don't get blocked by many things(helps sometimes but unrealistic)
> One some of the messages that have a "more" option it treats "more" as the first option.

PROS:
> Excellent game play
> Good story
> Runs smooth
> Interesting weapons
> Easily remembered controls
> Unique and fun enemies
> Colorful characters (Stupid rigged casino from hell )
> Fun bosses
> Cool and interesting playing field (Temples, cities etc.)
> Fun quests

Not Quite Cons But Kinda Annoying But Funny From Time To Time:
> The Auto Vend machine that steals your money
> The complaint guy that doesn't give a crap

A Truly Unique Game I Give It 9.4/10 I Recommend This Game To Puzzle Lovers And Combat Fanatics. LoZ: Wind Waker DS(the gameboy one) Meets StarWars.

Wow. All this time since I've looked in on it, and Ark 22 is STILL front page material at GMC. I think that above anything else tells me that it's one of the greatest GameMaker games ever made.

Well, the bad news for me is that my old computer had motherboard issues, and then my hard drive crashed... and I lost my Ark 22 save file. The GOOD news for me is that I get to play through the entire game again. And maybe this time get the good ending... I think all I was missing was the rifle upgrade, and that's because I couldn't get the crystals from the shooting gallery and the ball dropping game... Hopefully this time, I'll manage it.

Yay, and there's even an updated version to grab with bugfixes!

I think it would be a good feature to be able to skip the intro, though, btw. Perhaps skip the ship sequence entirely, since I don't think there are any secrets there that stay with you. Anyway, just my two cents.
