The biggest problem in this game is that the spiders very rapidly reach a point where they are much larger than the screen before ever coming into view. The result of which is they can kill you before you can even see them. This can be avoided somewhat by shooting randomly at the edges of the screen but this quickly devolves the game into a button masher (which it was already kind of was in the first place). Also, the apples only seem to be appearing in the top left and bottom right of the screen which makes the game very repetative. I'm just guessing but it seems like they should also be appearing under the other two trees as well? Additionally, the spider graphics are very pixelated at larger sizes. Fix those issues and this is a decent game demo. For full-fledged gamedom you should consider adding different enemy types (different colored spider that are faster/stronger/etc.), maybe some type of collectible power-ups, and additional maps to play on.
I am currently seeing some major glitches in the achievement tab. I have 300 lemonade stands but somehow got the achievements for 500. I only have 200 newspapers but have all achievements for that EXCEPT for the 100 achievements. Similar effects on the rest. Only saw one other person mention it in the comments so I wanted to make sure you were aware of it. Thanks for the game, would love to see these issues fixed. Now I must return to capitalisming.
Here is a good general rule of game design: If you put a nuke that literally kills everything in the game, and then find yourself thinking "Maybe this shouldn't be the final weapon"... you are doing something right.
This games changed my life. The sheer unbridled joy of playing this game has forever altered my outlook on this bleak existence. Thank you ly99989. Thank you for this gift. I am forever in your debt for this work of art.
As much as I love the Bloons series, this game is just a clear attempt to drain a few more bucks out of people. It seems that they intentionally made the amount of grinding ridiculous to force people to PAY for the upgrades rather than play the same level 900 times. I have no real objection to games having premium content. I DO however have an objection to a "game" (loosely speaking) which is solely made for the purpose of getting people to spend money. Next time make sure your "game" is actually fun THEN add premium content. I am not in the habit of paying for badges. I would suggest correcting course, NinjaKiwi, before you lose the fanbase you have so tediously earned.
I think this game deserves better than the >3 rating it has. While it is not the most original of games, very few games are. This game is reasonably challenging on some of the later levels and I quite enjoyed it. The main thing it needs is the ability to use arrow keys in addition to mouse. 4/5
I enjoyed the game. I think it could use a bit more variety of upgrades, but other than that it amused me. 4/5
@EveryOtherComment Wow, I didn't realize we were in the middle of a crippling spacebar shortage... I'll alert the president.
This game is amusing at first but gets very repetitive, very quickly. Needs more variety to the levels. Seems like there's more bruteforce piling up of blobs than much actual puzzle solving. Still it has some good potential and its more original than alot of puzzle games I've played on this site (world-of-goo similarities notwithstanding). I give it a solid 4/5.
An amusing puzzle game. Many of the levels can simply be "bruteforced" rather than doing any real puzzle solving but enough of the levels were challenging to keep me entertained for about half and hour. And what more can one ask of a flash game? I give it a solid 4/5.
Truly a masterful game. The graphics are good but the writing is simply superb and the character development was the best I've ever seen! This game... moved me. I don't think I can go back to my squalid existence with the memory of this game. I shall simply have to play it forever. It's the only way. 5/5.
Some excerpts from inside my head while playing this game:
"Huh, no move limit? Pfft, this game will be super easy."
*10 levels later*
"OK, fair enough. They managed to make it a little tricky. Still, should've done a move limit."
*10 more levels later*
"Thank god there's no move limit or I would never complete this."
*10 more*
"What is that puddle on the floor? Oh, it's brain matter. I probably needed that." *twitch* *twitch*
I think what I like most about this game is that the solutions do not have to be pixel perfect. Those couple of pixels of leeway really do make the difference between frustration and enjoyment. 5/5 for a quality puzzle game.
