I understand the game is suppose to be unfair, but the games take too long and pace is too slow for that BS. Who wants to spend 2 hours on a game and suddenly have something you can't plan for or defend against ruin it in 10 seconds? Not me. I survived the most waves this week, so I know how to play the game. It is just too tedious to be enjoyable.
If premium gave you an in-game save feature, I'd totally buy it. Nothing pisses me off more than having to restart a level from the beginning because I rushed one too many waves. Some levels take a long time to set up with towers and your maze of walls.
I want to like this game, but I just can't get into it. Slowing down every time you near a ship is maddening. Why doesn't it tell you what the upgrades do? Is a cannon upgrade more power, more accuracy, range or all of the above? Does a sail upgrade give more speed, more agility or both? When I upgrade these things, why does it seem to have no affect on the game play? This seems to be a game in works, so I'll check back in a month to see if it is any better.
controls are awful. How about a different button for tackle and pass? Every time I go into a mass of guys for a tackle I get the ball and end up passing right back to the other team. How about changing the player's color when he has the ball? When you go for a tackle it is hard to tell if you stole the ball or not/
The fact that you need to land a direct hit when there are multiple bullets moving a different speed from different directions is just stupid. I'm not wasting anymore of my time with this one. 3/5.
Losing your upgrades really sucks, but the game isn't that hard. I made it through all 6 levels without dying. 2 bombs pretty much takes care of most bosses. I used the blue laser shots and missiles for my weapons.
The one second delay between the time you release the mouse button and the time the ball is formed is maddening. I'd estimate that 3/4 of my lives are lost after I've already released the mouse button to complete the ball.
So you have to sit for 25 minutes for your creature to restore life in order to play but then the game logs you off the server for being "inactive"? Epic FAIL!
