Yep, this game freezes halfway through the second level as I get the second jetpack.
I use Gentoo Linux, with mozilla firefox 3. A bad script caused the game to freeze. If this is somehow fixed I'll rethink my score, but for now I'm giving it a 1 / 5
For some reason at the final battle my character cannot shoot nor move, and the guard is firing once every half second. Furthermore, I am unable to call for backup.
I'm going to give 3 stars out of 5 because everything up to the frustrating inability to finish the game... everything up to that part was enjoyable.
I think that this game needs to keep a count of how many cells you've been given. I made a mistake with the position of a hex and when I deleted it to make another, I couldn't.
It slows down a bit, but that's more my computer than anything. There were levels I hated but I eventually beat them all. About the only thing I could say is that sometimes the flying boxes would go one direction and on the same shot another time would fly in a different direction.
It's hard to want to play this game when my roll gives me one 1 then nothing, and the computer can make over 4000 points on its first turn.
The only skill that I can see is knowing when to stop, and the computer seems to benefit greatly from disregarding this skill.
With the many monsters running around and the gems firing, the game lags for a bit. When this happens, the program keeps the monsters moving but they're not impeded by obstacles. So the game lags, the monsters stray off the path, and keep on going.
Take a look at Whiteboard Defense. The same thing happens if you move the mouse around the screen. But in that game, the monsters wander back to their original locations then continue onwards. It's not a good thing that my score can't get 100% because the game doesn't take lag into account.
3/5
