like it. like the comment relating it to factory balls. done 14lvls and it's good but I'm already kind of tired of it though. music is nice, instructions are good, loads and plays well. wish it had a save button and select any level option.
amusing. like the music, like that it was only 20 lvls. lvl 11 if you look at it for a bit you see the logo hides the block. lvl 13 was a bit annoying with timing just to get that right. half the lvls only seem to have 1 solution, but the other half had at least 2 solutions, which is better. good overall effort, loads and plays well.
a better thought would be to put the guards more in traditional patrols (though not monotonous repeating) and have a little randomness on a controlled scope, then add in ability to knife the guards. However, knifing is penalized in some fashion (time, alarm, points, specials, whatever).
interesting. while I see how the random aspects make the game harder, I suppose I could also make a game where you guessed a number from 1 to 1,000 and see how well you do! that is, just making it harder without sense or a way to separate the strategy from luck is pointless.
wish there was a save button. can get to lvls 12-14 with 0 lives lost, but trying different strategies form there to finish. fine, but takes forever to get even there (even with 3x mode).
also something buggy with repeatability. going through following the walkthrough example" produces different results on different runs, doing exactly same thing.
I'm trying to figure out the math. the upgrade system doesn't add any efficiency for upgrading, so why is 1 upgrading unit better than multiple low units?
just like the 1st it lacks a few things still: 1) better mass movements of troops and sell; 2) something to do with your money once you really start beating towns. takes forever to level up after awhile.
minor wording issue: chicken medals say "BUY X number of chickens", but in reality you only get the medal when you current OWN X number of chickens. this can be minorly off if you BUY 2 chickens, then you get 2 chickens stolen, the medal considers you to have bought 0 chickens. likewise you can steal chickens and get the medal, even though you did not buy them (as the medal states).
do you only get chickens by luck through the search (1AP)? has someone posted an intelligible strategy guide somewhere, think the game is missing a few poitns of clarifications.
