“Wait, what? I was trying to enjoy a peaceful game of popping bubbles until I hit a game over. How?” Was sort of my reaction. Well the thing is the rules of the game weren’t explained at all. The only rule you would figure out is “3 of the same color will pop”. No duh. Then you figure out “Oh, why am I loosing lives?” becomes “Those aren’t lives if I’m not hitting game over. it’s cool.” Then “oooh they add more bubbles if I don’t pop any.” soon becomes “WELL I CAN’T POP THEM IF YOU GIVE ME A COLOR I CAN’T POP!!!!” Eventually to some they hit the game over and are just confused as to why since I was too tired to read the rules at the time. But still, WHY GIVE ME A COLOR I CAN'T POP?!

Could have been better. This game had potential but it feels like it was dropped or had lost inspiration and was just pushed out. I feel this should be improved so it can feel loved. You should come back to it and make it better. The trap system should be hotkey-ed and should be enabled when paused but be limited so spam is impossible by cool down or object limits. Needs music and more interesting things like wing-men or mirror shooting, probably power-ups? Really though, come back to it. It needs some love.
It's a good game but it forces players down a steep learning curve of self teaching and habit developing. The difficulty increases after beating the tutorial stages but in that time I don't think the player is ready. Teaching a hotkey system in a tutorial would have helped, and having demonstration levels to show the importance of a turret or building would have been nice as well instead of just giving it to them. I would have preferred the hotkey or action bar to be freely customizable, rather than have set keys mapped to certain buildings. Good RTS though.
I did it! Yeah! Feels good man! Awesome game. Levels 57 and 58 makes me rage, but 59 was really relaxing as it relied more on skill and not constant environment related deaths.
Level 58.
Stopped after 606 deaths.
Reason for quitting: Required sleep. I want that medal...!
That hard medal is one of THE definitions of hard. Fun game, I love this way of teaching the game. Though it wasn't really clear that it depended where you were (not the mouse) that activated the nearby magnets.
Also during my struggle in 57 I tried to be really fast (on the frame, THAT VERY FRAME!) and I ended up targeting a magnet that wasn't the one lit. "I WANTED THAT ONE!!!"
If your an action or fighting gamer, your experience just might help (and I mean hard core experience, it's really pixel tight).
Okay game, didn't stand out and wasn't bad. Since I'm not using a gaming computer this was really laggy. It extended the amount of time I should have not been playing. So to fix I would say add some quality settings like a quality button (guys right click and go quality low!) and have an option to turn off the camera following the cursor and turn off the back ground animations... numbers and health bars too?
I was also expecting something big at the end like a boss that took up all four rows and it would become a DPS (damage per second) race. But after waiting for 30 (or longer, definitely felt like 2 hours) I got my medal and left. I could go on longer about the game but I shouldn't be here any longer than I already have.
Good game, very casual, fun, and easy to play. Though to those seeking a challenge, you'll be disappointed. Feel free grabbing some easy (and enduring) metals.
The rate of loosing popularity and gaining popularity is way way WAY off balance. I can levy my towns every 10 minutes and loose one popularity. I can pray at my church at the cost of my church's level x 10 battle achievement points every HOUR to gain ONE popularity. WHY AM I LOOSING 100 BATTLE POINTS FOR 1 BLOODY POPULARITY POINT?!?!?! Honestly this feels way off balance.
I found my self using the same few hot keys after a while and it was difficult stretching my fingers across my keyboard. I would appreciate it if you could make the hot keys easier to reach or an option to arrange the hot keys.
I found a glitch, I hope you fix it and don't do it if your going to grab the medal or else you have to do the whole thing all over. When the line "Hell sweet hell" comes up and he bursts into flames, DO NOT examine the morse code paper! Doing so will get him stuck on the ladder, on the boat, on the surface of the earth, forever, that is until you restart the game.
The concept is good with all the different situations,
the art was okay because it was made for fun not seriously,
music was fun and not annoying considering the game's length,
the controls played differently in each situation changing strengths very often (jump height, control, momentum?)
Now the downside is that most of the situations weren't very clear and few of them were not easy to prepare for.
A cop is going to shoot you and you don't even know that he was pointing at you. You need 1 second to at least figure out the situation and in that time he already pulled the trigger. Unless you knew what was going to happen you may have (just barely) dodged the bullet.
7/10, can't give it a serious grade but hey, I did enjoy it.
I flicked the lights on and off and an electrician came my way. We flicked the lights on and off with fun until he died. I thought he had a seizure. But really he got shot.
Pacifist money tips: get upgrades that hack faster, fear people, lock doors longer, more cycles. upgrades are in the 2nd, 4th and 5th upgrade trees. Upgrade up to the yellow tree to avoid difficulty (this can be for both violent or pacifist). The level doesn't count as violent as long as no one dies.
Disable all harming affects, you want to keep those lights. Try to use your cycles only to hack the terminals only at first. If it requires some prodding feel free to do so. When you get all the terminals go and flick the lights on and off constantly until you run out of cycles, then hack the mainframe.
Once you have some money spend it on the first tree to gain the sprinkler system. The death of robots will give you money, just make sure to get them in a bunch and have your combo up (on and off, repeat). The pacifist will grant you 1700-2400$ for intermediate levels (yellow).
Make an epic option too, for those solos.
Ugh the notes are played BEFORE they touch the bar (sorry just spazzing over ye faithful) I turned the music off and played better, turned it back on though and I look like a dumb noob holding the keyboard backward
okay, smooth and fluid gameplay. LARGE PROBLEM. when I hear the music and play I can see that there's a small space in between the play and the music. The sync is off because I can feel myself playing in perfect sync with the song BUT the buttons aren't in sync. Please fix this. Using firefox, game is preforming very well runs fast and smooth and controls react perfectly. Why isn't santa rocking as he rides?
