Yeah, I have to take a couple of stars off for the respawning balls. It's fun and engaging, but that's a deal-breaker. It takes what was a logical and predictable game and adds the possibility of instant death. Ugh.
Alright, alright... plays _much_ more smoothly on low quality, and it's pretty fun. Beat my head against level 8 for a while, but managed to beat it.
Another star. ;)
A clarification: I was right-clicking to adjust the quality, and the change didn't stick. I see you can adjust the quality from the title screen. I'll add a star back for that and see if it plays more smoothly on low quality.
Huh. Well I didn't change anything on this Linux system - it hasn't even been rebooted - and the game started working. It runs unplayably slow, and I already got the card using another computer, but it is working now.
Many thanks if you guys managed to fix it. Much perplexity if you did not. ;)
Well that was entirely underwhelming.
I dunno why, but I don't consider it a tower defense game when it's just a bunch of things charging straight at a building. It's like a quarter-step removed from a 1980s shooter.
Woohoo, a card for a game that's had issues since it was first uploaded!
Thanks, guys!
Hey, btw... still doesn't work on Firefox in Linux, no matter how many times I reinstall Flash 9.
I've noticed a couple of bugs: On the fractional level, there were two 7/6 answers, and it would only accept one of them as correct. On another, one of the bubbles was 5/5.
So many things about this game seem so poorly thought out. I just spent 90 seconds on one level waiting for an enemy to wander back onscreen.
Spend more time on compelling gameplay and less time on useless flair. The information on the Armory screen could be much clearer _and_ all on one page, no scrollbar needed.
Also, to echo another comment: this should use RPG advancement. What's a beetle gonna spend money on, eh?
I don't see the circles leaving as a big deal, but there are times when it isn't strategic at all: It's asking you for the bubble that you currently can't click on.
So I guess I agree with the others - don't let it do that. Plus, the only levels where it occurs are among the easiest - it just slows me down.
Amazing. This is the number one rated game in Sports & Racing... and it still doesn't load for me. Is this ever gonna get fixed? I'm not rating it down, mind you... I just want to try it out.
