"I have just realized that over half of us have facial hair!" XD That probably shouldn't have made me laugh as much as it did, but it's great! I love the thought put into this game!
I love that after you get everything, it unlocks more levels of upgrades to get, meaning you can keep playing and collecting after you've essentially finished the game.
On second thought, this is a really clever game. You can completely ignore my other comment. It takes strategy but it's different from tower defense type games. My one thought is that there's no wall at the edge of the screen to keep you or the minions from walking forever. I've lost a few enthusiastic minions that way.
It's a great concept, but it does need some tweaking. I think it's the fourth level that has enemies coming too fast for your minions to devour them and replace lost minions at the same time. An upgrade system where you can influence how fast they breed or shorten their time in the egg would be nice and not detract from the evolution theme of the game.
I wish I could like this game more, but enemies coming from behind and platform jumps that you have to solve in about two seconds before you die are just aggravating. I barely got past Cerberus. An easy version with everything slowed down for those who just want the story would be really nice. I've read that the story is wonderful, but I can't finish the game.
I absolutely love this series! The only thing that would really make it better is captions. I can't have the volume up really loud, and I can't hear half of what is said.
I gave up after three shuriken ninjas and a few blinding ones wouldn't let me stand or see. It's a great concept, but it overwhelms and gets frustrating really quickly.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
