People have written about pretty much every major flaw but once.
Electric Gun. Most annoying sound effect in the game. I turned off the sound because it was so irritating. Did you just find some high pitch screeching or something?
Radar+Beam Cannon in a small ship=Unstoppable
Dodging bullets usually sacrifices accuracy, but with radar and a beam cannon you get 100% accuracy while you strafe around your target. Add a shield in to stop bullet spray.
Interesting concept, writing is decent, but the game is too glitchy to be taken seriously. There are essentially 2 events which decide what ending you get: Madman killing your family or your wife killing herself. If neither of these events is triggered the game glitches.
This is really frustrating and just plain sloppy since many events in the game circumvent these events anyway. If you cheat on your wife she leaves you, but the madman will still kill her even though she already left the house before that. If your daughter dies she will still appear on your back initially when the sprite loads in the park on the last day. And as was the case with me I spent enough time with my wife so she didn't kill herself and worked enough that the madman didn't rage-kill my family so the game just left me hanging with no way to trigger the next day unless my family was dead or the madman killed them.
The miasma of blood and dust swirling through the air finally clears revealing the bounty from the slaughtered caravan. A couple jeeps and oxen, cotton, shoes, fuel; A decent days work. After the crew cleans up it should make a cool 50 grand. Just another bloodied donation to the desert patrol's war. After all, 3 million dollars isn't an easy war fund to acquire through trade alone. Defeating the bandits may have been an honorable gesture at first glance, but only to insure an unmolested racketeering ring. And the caravans that aren't willing to donate? Well they all donate in the end... one way or another.
Maybe... maybe after the desert patrol is in charge they'll stop the corruption, like they promised. I doubt it... governments need income too. Won't be long after they're in power they come back to me for a few more rounds of collectin'.
"Hi this is Middle of Nowhere delivery service , here's that gallon of water you ordered."
"I believe we ordered 500 gallons..."
"Oh... well I see what happened, that darn farm must have screwed you over and tried to weasel out on the deal. Wouldn't have anything to do with the trail of water behind my truck though."
This game is for kids. I mean that literally and not as criticism. A 5 year old would be challenged by the basic primary school puzzles this game gives and it would be a great game for them.
It's just not a very interesting game if your not the target demographic.
Nice concept, but most of the game is waiting, and waiting... then you have to do the waiting over again because you didn't wait long enough the first time. The company of Myself does it better.
