I've got the HARD and IMPOSSIBLE badges and now I HAVE to replay the game (on beginner) to get the EASY and MEDIUM badges... doesn't make sense, does it? As if going through 50 leves weren't enough I have to redo the first 9. Ok.
I've done IMPOSSIBLE badges that were easier than this HARD badge. Hm. What makes it really hard, though, are the unprecise controls. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse are very good. Oh well.
"needs to be bug tested, several times I've played & he just runs off in 1 direction not matter what you press."
That just happened to me as well.
This happens when you are moving and then click with the mouse outside the browser window. Hope that's something easy to fix.
Other than this bug, great game!
Good idea, not so nice execution.
Some scenarios you have little space to move around, which means that you end up getting unwanted letters. And there's no way to dismiss just that letter you accidently picked up.
Also could have a tutorial explaining how the game works.
I'm not a big fan of those kind of "find-the-hidden-stuff" games. But this one is really well-done. Although it's clearly aimed for kids, I found it to get a little repetitive and it actually gets easier on later levels (since there're more animals). Perhaps you could make more different scenarios and/or bigger ones (so it'd get harder to find those pets). Nice game!
I've beaten it. I wanted to like this game but the controls are too loose (or clumsy, like VioletSky has said) to my tase. See, I like when puzzle games are challenging due their uniqueness, with clever puzzles and solutions not because the controls are unprecise. Try to fix that, please!
Really nice upgrade to the 1st one!
Some tips for improvement:
Since the game is too short to buy anywhere nearly all upgrades (weapons and ships) I think the game should have more levels (at least 5), get more money for each level and make upgrades cheaper (or simply drop completely having to upgrade the ship's slots).
I don't mind farming for some money (I actually like to do so), but having to replay the same level a dozen times gets kinda boring.
The way the game is right now, I've finished it with the small helicopter (the one with 3 slots) and full upgraded frag bomb (much weaker than the 1st version). So, as you can see, there was a lot to be done yet.
Great game, anyway!
As for the game: it's simple and since you said it's more of a test game, I guess it's pretty fine as it is.
I quite like the graphics and the animation. The Bee animation between levels and when you reset don't bother me as much.
Also, as Sh33p stated, it also took me a few levels to realise that I should move the mouse to control the power gauge. I'd rather have the 'hold mouse button' for power but it's more a matter of taste.
But, pleeeaaase add a hotkey for level reset.
