Also - SERIOUS BUG!!!
When in battle (at night) it is next to impossible to build anything, as the menus lock up, and keep returning to the "home menu" - really destroys gameplay :(
Bug. When restarting level you loose ALL your upgrades. I have only found this on level 8 as this is the only level where I have had to restard. (I restarted on level 7 and I think I had the same problem, but I cannot remember...)
Worth a 4/5, but because of this annoying bug it gets a 3.
Another bug, you can repeat the mission where Louis dies if you click on the red circle thing, prehapse it could go on to a different battle on the research ship instead of repeating the last battle?
Bug - after Louis (I think that was his name?)dies (on the research boat) - if you return there and click on the lifering thing it still calls you a silly twat for trying to leave the guy who saved you...
Second bug, I have never actually recieved ny items, I recieved 2 items (at least) but they are not appearing in my invontory.
The only critique I can come up with is that it is difficult to tell where your craft is.
Time and time again I have either died or come close to it because I have not known where my craft is.
The splats, while they make the game really cool and exiting tend to make it hard to see where your craft is.
One fix is to make them much lighter/more transparent/smaller/fade quicker.
Another fix is to remove the tails from the craft and the bullets.
Also, I think the shotgun is a little overpowered while the laser is a little underpowered for them to be in that order. The shotgun can kill multiple enemies in one shot, while the weird laser thing can only kill them one at a time. Maybe make the laser fire faster or have more punch, or have 2-3 come out at the one time, or have the shotgun a little less powerful, but more laser upgrades.
Definately loving this awesome game though!
4/5 but only because of those issues :)
Latest upgrade is bad.
No longer are the archers usefull, they now just run in to be slaughtered by the close-range units.
Also, the difficulty is just too weird. How come I get pwnt by a 3% difficulty? I preferred the easy/medium/hard/v.hard difficulty rating. That actually made sense.
The only good thing it has going for it (and I am not sure if this was around before) is the fact that if you surrender, you still can get money from the round.
Rating lowered to 4/5 - would be 3/5 apart from the extra money.
Oh My Goodness this thing LAGS!
Please developers, fix the lag!
2/5.
Repeditive, kinda the same as the other Thing Thing games, no real addition to the series :(
1/5
Crappy sounds.
Aiming is horrible.
Moving. Lets just say that the amount of times I have pressed a button to move and I have kept going in the old direction is horrible.
Instructions. Very lacking.
2/5 - only for the graphics and fun factor.
Serious bug - after maxing out your sandstorm level 3, it does not fire.
One other thing, the acceleration is way too slow, making it feel like I am trying to stear an elephant in space, rather than a fighter ship.
Worth much more than a 2/5 though if these are fixed!
Visuals - 5/5. No contest here.
Replayability - 1/5 - gets boring quite quickly, same missions over and over again, same enemies.
Speed/lag - 5/5. No lag, speed or framerate issues here!
Overall - 3/5. If better missions are created, upgrades are implimented (as in you can upgrade your ship) it would make it a nice good replayable game!
TONS of potential, just have to keep working on the storyline now :)
Just a time waster?
This game is awesome!
If it had upgrades and better weapon physics (IE missiles fire straight, and ammo flies further with less of a harsh gravity/friction curve) it would be worth 5/5, but as it stands 4/5 :)
1/5
1. Spelling/grammar. Fix the spelling issues/grammar issues.
2. Impossible to read the writing on the background.
Only thing it has going for it is the background, but even that is innapropriate given the text.
Way to easy.
Great game though, if it was made a little harder and the research centers were made a little clearer at the begining it would be worth a 5/5
As it stands, 4/5 :D
