Where do I even start with this? I love this game. Not only do I love how it has seemingly brought back recognition to some popular newgrounds characters / series, I love everything it stands for. There is such a big community now creating amazing mods and everything. There are too many good ones to count, but obviously this is just a review of the main game so I'll start there... So, ok. To be fair, I haven't actually played this. I just kind of watched a whole bunch of people play it. I know, lame. I intend to actually play it soon obviously, preferably not in a buggy in browser version; but I got into this through Coryxkenshin, who I hadn't really watched until then. I know that's probably not a very amazing way to experience the game, but what I have experienced is amazing. The music absolutely slaps, every song in there. The characters are likeable, the gameplay (from what I can tell from other people saying so) is fun, the art style is neat, and the animations are very cool. I cannot wait to see what comes next, what with upcoming new weeks still being added, and new mods inevitably to be released for this game. My favorite part undoubtedly is the music, but this has turned into one of my favorite games of all time, even without playing it. Like I said, I love everything it stands for. The community, the music, the entire thing. This is just a spectacular game, lol. [Side note, this game is how I got into the madness combat series, and the culture of Newgrounds as a whole. I binge-watched the canon madness combat series in one sitting, literally, so yeah, thanks for introducing me to that, Tricky mod]
Update: I have played through the entire game on hard mode now, and suffice to say, this game rocks. Especially with the new input system updates, the game is incredibly smooth and rewarding to play, and I can't help but to replay the weeks every so often. Since posting this originally, the modding scene for FNF has grown even more, with even higher quality mods and much more in development. Funkin Forward has been one of the biggest sources of dopamine in my life for quite a while. Banger game, I absolutely cannot wait for the full ass game to be released!
