I LOVE the idea.
I didn't really understand what you were supposed to do until the second playthrough, when I see "Press X" I will just press X immediately and not realise there's a timing component. I think something like a "too early!" would be helpful.
10/10 bees.

The Spider-Man web scene made me laugh so much.
5 stars all around
The game is a test of movie memory, and also general anticipation of patterns if you don't know the film. I've never seen anything close to this.
And it wasn't just a test either, you had so many funny clips in general. I never thought I'd see a Whiplash reference in LD haha.
A fantastic game and one that I've been sending to a lot of friends because it's so easy to grok. Very good job!
Curious to hear what Rank people are getting?
:camera_with_flash: Post your screenshots of your high scores if you're feeling brave. Would love to see an A or S rank :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:
I just had a genuinely good time.
Here is my score, in case anyone wants to try to beat it!

But seriously: QTEs on movies? Brilliant idea (I'd only wish you could fail anyhow and get a different result, but well.. movie limitations)
Awesome idea and great selection of clips.
Excelent job!!!
Extra mode:

In all seriousness, awesome game. I loved how it was such an interesting take on timing and having to anticipate the qte's for the movies you're unfamiliar with. Really fun, kind of anticipating the direction of each scene.

@salohcin894 yes, I thought about The Bee Movie...but somewhere along the road we decided to only do Live Action Movies. Maybe for v2.0!
With practice the game is super enjoyable, it reminds me of the Raving Rabbids games, for the silliness.
