A different perspective

I have kind of a unique perspective on this story - as a devout Christ-follower who has recently been separated from his one and only son. A lot of people say this is about "testing faith" - and I don't quite agree with that. God was doing a work in Abraham's heart. The pride of a man, especially during that time period, was his children, especially sons. God called Abraham to sacrifice his PRIDE, and every step of that journey created a change in Abraham. Each step he sacrificed more of his pride. Each stone he used to create the altar was a "giving over" of his future hopes and joys to God. When the work was complete, Abraham was both the altar and sacrifice - his pride, his identity, his hopes - and there was no need to sacrifice his son. You see a man who has given his son over to God and see that same man's son returned to him by that same God - that man has been purified and transformed. Most people don't really understand that or why that is a big deal. In this story, Abraham sacrificed himself and became one with God.

Anyway, Sam. Great work as always - and as always, we will come at this God thing from very different directions! Keep creating. :D

From a composer and classically trained musician:

Poor neglected C clef (used by violas and sometimes trombones)
Treble clef (also called G clef) does not always signify melody. It's used mainly by instruments whose range is largely above middle C ... or by voices (like a tenor singer) whose natural range is easiest to signify in a treble range. For instance, a cello (who uses bass clef ... also called F cleff) is often given melodies in string music.

May want to mention that treb. clef has its bottom circle around the G and bass cleff has the dots around F ('cause these guys can move up and down the staff, yo)

being nit-picky, flats and sharps should be thought of as "down" and "up" respectively, not "back" and "in front"

middle C is actually C4 scientifically and C' in helmholtz.

You left out the symbol for naturals.

Would've been nice to include key signatures (at least the concept) and time signatures as well (again, the concept). Maybe eigth, quarter, half and whole notes? Or is that the next tutorial? :P

you may want to mention that chords in guitar tab are stacked together. Tab also has the disadvantage in lack of precise timing. You kind of have to know what the song sounds like already in order to follow tab.

All in all, decent starting tutorial. Would've been nice to put sounds to the notes (maybe clickable?) Also, to hear what the tab sounds like and the sounds each of the individual guitar strings make. This way you start 'em early on ear training and those that play by ear can associate what they already know with the visible notes.

Irritating

This game is irritating. Power-ups are spotty. One hit = one life gone (no health meter), no specials, no continue, lives don't replenish after bosses, controls are slow, hit area is too large for your guy, bosses are inconsistent, enemies are hard to see (i would imagine impossible if you're red/green color blind), but ... the art is pretty.... I think if this was more playable, it would be more fun. I'm not a really good gamer so, maybe I just lack the "skills" to play this game?

A lot of fun

This is a type of game I love and I've spent hours and hours on this one. A few things that I'd like to see though:
1) Multiple save points (so I don't have to start an apprentice over from the very beginning to try different stuff)
2) Multiple saved apprentices ... and the ability to have them battle each other
3) Progress of what apprentice is becoming. Something like, at this rate, your apprentice will likely become a noble knight or completely unknown. This way you can see how your choices are changing the character.
4) speed changer - so I don't spend hours and hours watching the little dude work and fight. I would love a "cheetah speed" switch.

Other than that, a very fun game! Good job guys! ps pleeeease how in the world do I get a tier 1 result? I can get tier 2 easy, but haven't figured out tier 1 yet.
