You know what? I've played very little, I'm on level 6 or so, and just for what I've seen so far, both ingame and your response to the players, I'm giving it a 5/5. Keep going!
If this isn't a game worth 5 stars, I don't know what is. Very nice sound and graphics, amazing amount of content - from upgrades that affect gameplay to eye candy -, diverse types of gameplay - one can get spend lots of time only with challenges -, amazingly fun to play, even if it can be very challenging at later levels and to get some of those stars. The difficult at times gives me some NES nostalgia. Thank you very much, Sir, for this game. :) - 5/5
Can't really say why, but I loved this game. The humour and randomness on it is awesomesauce. Had some minor problems with the controls, but I guess that's ok and it's part of the mid randomness. Also, I must agree with ColinQ, thou, when he says that it needs some replay value. I'd really appreciate more powerups, like better stirring, better throwing-power, maybe an option to add other gnomes (besides the ones you already get), maybe some different types of bricks, more enemies (efven a boss, maybe), special power (shift) upgrade, in-game achievements, etc.
A 5/5 for me, for originality, fun and graphics (loved the old school style). Keep going, man!
thanks! hope you still had fun after lv 6
