5.5 fixed all the issues with previous boxhead but did introduce some new ones. The classic maps are either too small or too big. IMO defence mode would be a lot better a next wave button and no or reduced time pressure (possibly a dtd style score based bonus for not taking advantage of it). Shame to see the options and character style go.
PS this game begs for a flamethrower and/or chainsaw :)
rubbish game, played it a while ago and moved on before I'd even completed level 2. didn't find the game hard but i doubt i'll bother going for the hard or impossible badges. 2/5 simply for having smooth play and smooth graphics. there's lots of games far more deserving of badges.
after the first level seemed like a really cool idea, but when that basic concept hadn't been developed at all by level 6 I was forced to just give up on the game. 2/5.
seeing another boxhead game has really brightened up my day, which was pretty needed between my dad discovering my stash and losing my phone last night. so cheers :) (and i'll comment more when i've actually played it)
very impressed by this game, great original concept and very polished execution with mute button, smooth graphics, etc. It's entertaining whether you want to really work at it or just play casually. Could use a free play type mode where you can change settings like the req sum, range of numbers, grid size. Anyway 5/5 and favourited.
level 24 is the one I found hardest, until I got a shot enlarger powerup near the wall and camped it for the rest of the level by bouncing fire through it for double the size increase. Starting to find the levels pretty tedious now though (40s), it's just too repetetive.
imo you move too slowly in this game, it makes you dependent on luck vs the rotating rectangles as they move faster than you and can't be killed when they stack up.
needs either an insane amount of polish or a USP, even if it's something as simple as a paddle on either side with mouse and keyboard controls respectively.
decent beginning game AI but weaker mid game. I can draw fairly easily but not win yet though, find myself playing defensively most the time.
suggestions - allow changing the cpu to user as well so i can play vs friends and add a toggle for music.
4/5
