That was the most fun I have ever had learning about something I will never ever have use for. Kudos for a funny-ass flash.

I don't understand how this made front page. For a while I thought maybe they drew the pictures themselves, but apparently they didn't do anything except for take a bunch of pictures, music, and the occasional fart sound from the internet and put them together. You are not missing anything by not watching this. I don't even understand how this represents the quality or humor that is typically found in front page submissions on Newgrounds. To whoever is in charge of front page content: what the hell? How high on drugs were you to think that making this front page was a good idea? Suck a fat one for this one Newgrounds.

Being a tuba player myself (and thus a fan of Sousa marches) I really appreciated the work you put into this game. Although not all of the entrances of the enemy intruments lined up with what instruments where entering musically I really enjoyed watching it happen when it did line up. Even if some of the gameplay could be a little better (addressed below) this game is interesting enough when looking simply at the artistic side of this game. I actually found this game to be a breath of fresh air from all the other more stereotypical games.
The only way the gameplay was lacking was that everything happens way to fast. I can understand that the speed of gameplay highlights the faster more brisk tempos of Sousa's marches, but at the same time there were too many enemies shooting too often with shots that moved too fast across the screen. It was simply too much to be able to react to the enemies' shots. It also was unexciting just holding down the space bar the whole time. These two elements mostly made the game into a "move your tuba around while holding down the spacebar and hoping not to be shot by chance."
Honestly, I absolutely loved this game for how unexpected it was and how intricate the design was and how artistic it was. I would love to see more games like this. Perhaps you could even do a whole series of them using various syphonies and other well-regarded classical music...just think of all the possibilities. Anyway, thank you for this game.

It made me smile and chuckle. I love it although you are an a**hole for writing something so annoying and then putting it in the ska category. Nevertheless...props.

While it is not mind-blowing it is VERY well put together and it all works together and is very catchy. I must especially say that I love the clarity of your drums although at times I wondered if maybe they were a little too bright (but only a touch). While I would probably vote it at a 4, I'm voting 5 because this is way better than any kind of 3 -- its current score. Good work!

The only thing that I thought could be improved besides some minor tweaks to the pitch of the vocals at times was that I didn't really feel a climax to the song. Like it ebbs and flows, but it doesn't really ever peak. I think if you could find a way to create more drama in the music. Perhaps make the bridge at the end, if that's what you want to call that section, a little more different from the rest of the music. Perhaps more intensity, a different feel, or perhaps both. Other than that I have to say I really enjoyed it overall.
