    I was honestly just happy to run out of points so I couldn't buy any more cubes. At that point I decided that it wasn't worth it to go back and try to get better scores on the previous cubes. Just one more game that was trying to get knocked of my steam list.

    A mildly interesting premise and a deep Steam sale along with a sale objective convinced me to make the purchase. While I will admit part of my problem with the game is a lack of aptitude on my part, this really isn't a very good game.

While I will admit part of my problem with the game is a lack of aptitude on my part, this really isn't a very good game. There have been a ton of games I got under similar circumstances and have been really happy with. There have been several games I didn't do well at in the beginning but they were engaging enough to keep me playing until I got better. This was neither. Dull gameplay, irritating sounds. Played it only to get the sale achievements and actually wish it could be completely removed from my Steam library. It is that bad!… Expand

    This game really is no good. It's boring, ugly, and has one of the worst soundtracks ever. The level design is frustrating and the gameplay mechanics are just plain stupid, give this one a miss.

    It's like JSR mixed with skydiving. Gets repetitive because the whole game revolves around dodging blocks while free-falling with the occasional wall to spray paint or fan/critics to wave at. The only lasting appeal/replay value is trying to beat your friends leaderboard scores. Worth picking up in a bundle or on sale but definitely not worth the full price.

    If you are really into Indie games, then you might find this one enjoyable; otherwise, you should probably just pass on this one. I picked it up in part because it was cheap during a steam holiday sale and in part because it had a pretty favorable metascore.

I picked it up in part because it was cheap during a steam holiday sale and in part because it had a pretty favorable metascore. I am not sure why the metascore is as high as it is, the game isn't particularly fun. The long and the short of it is you jump off a building to show off how radical and rebellious you are. You get bonuses for spray painting buildings as you fall, giving either the thumbs up or the bird to observers, hitting or nearly hitting certain objects, but more generally you just try to avoid falling into buildings. The ultimate goal is to land safely, but you can't get a good score unless you wait to the last possible moment to open the parachute. The graphics and game play are both on the lower side of mediocre. I *think* the reason people have rated this highly is either because the score is manipulated by fake reviewers or else the praise is false and meant as flattery to encourage the developer(s) and the indie genre in general. The game is not completely without novelty, but the novelty wears off quickly and you are left with a sub-par game that you wish you hadn't wasted even a few dollars on.… Expand

    Nicely presented, fun for about 15 minutes. Very repetitive indeed. I can't help feeling that this game gets high scores for being 'trendy'; the engine's reminiscent of the type of thing that was cutting edge back when PCs first got 3D accelerator cards.

    Booooooooorrrrinng! Jump off buildings, land on targets, how bloody stupid. I admit I only played it for 1 minute, but that was far too much for me.

    This game is utterly retarded. Your money is better spent on just about anything else. I have no idea why people like this game I was utterly unimpressed. Definitely one of the most boring games I have ever picked up.

    Well it’s hard to set a genre for this game to be totally honest... I like to class it as an accuracy falling game! It’s an interesting title and for a while quite enjoyable, however for me it got too repetitive to fast! The difficulty levels vary between the many areas which I got around to testing, but I found the game offering nothing other than a short unique experience… I find it hardWell it’s hard to set a genre for this game to be totally honest...

The difficulty levels vary between the many areas which I got around to testing, but I found the game offering nothing other than a short unique experience… I find it hard to rate a game like this because it feels arcade-y, a little sporty, a hint of strategy and I don’t really know what it’s trying to be… But Dejobaan Games isn’t exactly known for unimaginative video games, so I do feel it’s worth a look, but unfortunately it just didn’t really impress me too much!… Expand

    Apart from food, clothing, bills, medical care, transportation, art supplies, or a donation to a cause of your choice, I can't think of a much better way to spend $15 this month.

    Aaaaa! is a must for any self-respecting armchair thrill-junkie and one of the best indie games of the year.

    For those who are seeking a simple, addictive arcade-game with some adrenaline rushes, self-mockery and originality, look no further than this game. Unless you hate the letter "A".
