In fairness to the people complaining that the game asks you to buy a full version, the concept of "shareware" in gaming has been around for about thirty years. Games like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom gave the entire first episode away, and asked you to pay for the rest. Many, many other games did the same thing. This isn't a "new trend of something wrong", this is a return to an old, tried and true, business model.
Day 340 to get all stars and upgrades. I had 6 starred the hidden boss by 290. Diminishing returns just makes this more of a grind than it needs to be.
This game is pretty punishing. It's a LONG way to travel to the X, and even with a maxed out ship, a bit too easy to accidentally turn too far and lose your run. Plus, there simply aren't enough upgrades available. Maybe if your progress kept between launches this distance wouldn't be too bad, but as it stands, it's too far to go in one run. (Mind you, I did it in 33 days even w/o a maxed out ship, but there were a lot of runs that SHOULD have gone a lot further.)
How to break the game: Have the Chili Bomb go off at the wall at the end of story mode when you have almost enough speed built up to get Pants on Fire. Chili Bomb explodes you through the wall, pants on fire goes off, End of Candyland never shows up.
Wait a minute, do you have to RIDE all the special types in one run for Fuel Fajita? Because that's not what the description says for unlocking it. And I DID just go through a run where I smashed every special type, I just didn't ride them all, but I didn't get the fajita to unlock.
Getting Fuel Fajita seems nearly impossibly hard to get, especially once you've powered yourself up. Does it have to be done in the normal mode, which can end in less than a minute, or can it be done in survival? And are there any tricks for it?
Keep updating this. Work on cleaning up the interface, and making it look nice, and you'll have a real winner on your hands. It's already a great utility, and if you really give this thing a professional look and feel, you could easily have one of the most popular items on this site. Congratulations.
You almost got a 1/5 for no left-handed control scheme, but you can change the button lay out. You cannot, however, do it in the middle of a level. There's no way to quick out early it seems, all you can do is pause to bring up the shop.
I can't give this more than 3/5 due to bugs. Mute does not mute all sounds, and the game occosionally suffers from severe lag, which causes a loss of ship control. There's also some bag balance on resources. By comparision, you get flooded with money, a good amount of weapon exp, and very, very little ship exp. This, combined with the fact that you have to pay full price for each tier, makes ship exp too scarce.
Now, don't let all that above scare you off. I think this is a phenominal game for this site. I love the ability to adjust the position and angle of the weapons. I love how the hidden missions were incorporated into the game. The ranking system for the levels is good, gives a reason to replay them. Graphics are very good. All in all, a great game, it just needs some bugs addressed.
Laser makes the game too easy. Since it hits everything in the row, if it CAN kill an enemy before it hits the elevator, it WILL kill the enemy before it hits the elevator. The laser never falls behind. Making it a too perfect defense for this type of game.
That big, opaque, "Wave cleared" screen that shows up and completely covers all the resources you're trying to collect is extremely annoying. Give it some transparency.
The death waves in Survival Mode seem pretty random. In one game they showed up after 17 minutes. In another, 12. And in another, 30 minutes w/o a trace of them.
You can keep Survival Mode going indefinitely, even after the Sun King army, simply by using Desert Wind every time they stack on the top floor (works best at 6 or 7), and Earthquaking every chance you get. Keeps the top floor at 0%.
Ok, the giant demon has too many HP. It's not HARD, it's just endurance. I should not have to sit here and wait half an hour or more on a single level that I can win with ease, it's just mindless time consuming.
