Wait wait wait, Old Games That Don’t Suck Thursday typically means a game that is old but this is a weird exception. Flash Flash Revolution has been slowly evolving over time and hasn’t quite reached its “okay it’s done,” but since it started so long ago I’ll make the pass. This week, a Flash game!
Flash Flash Revolution was the first Flash game I ever was addicted to. I was mesmerized by the flashing arrows and friend’s ability to knock out these levels left and right perfectly. Yes, it’s got the DDR influence, but it’s the sheer dedication to bringing this platform to Flash and keeping it updated and the community thriving that makes this game incredible. Seriously, it’s an entire community wrapped around a single game, mostly.
When flashing arrows come down the screen, match them to the beat with the flashing arrows above. Keep in-time and make sure your metre keeps full from consistent hits.
Since you aren’t playing with your feet you’re playing with your fingers. Learning to coordinate your fingers on the arrow keys in such a way as to not tie up your fingers and lose timing is a slow but steady learning curve. Overall I feel the experience is fun. Getting better at songs and passing ones for the first time is incredibly rewarding. Not to mention great perks such as credits and song unlocks throughout the system and site.
Go play it! It’s Flash, so it’s available on nearly every OS.
