if the concept behind this game would have been somewhat properly implemented, it would get you 3/5 easily. But controls are that ridiculously bad that you're getting 1/5 since this game annoyed the hell out of me. obstacles should not block your car this bad, controls suck, aiming is a drag. And that's regardless of upgrades. In a game where maz points are awarded for slamming your car into zombies, you atleast should make the driving fun.
game gets very boring after a while, plus:
- guns are too similar. this might be due to the inconsistent (bad) accuracy, but apart from a small power difference and clip size, the most expensive gun is hardly an improvement over the first gun
- accuracy of guns IS terribly inconsistent. Don't know if this is some kind of lag problem, but 1 second i'm shooting the eyballs off of zombies, the next i'm apparently hitting dirt.
- troop upgrades aren't all that interesting / don't offer any real difference in tactics. Combined with inconsistent gun accuracy it just makes sense to spam troops all over the field, regardless of type, and hope no running zombies get through (because your gun suddenly keeps missing...)
4/5 for now:
- the game tends to lag with heavy fire, even with quality turned all the way down and no apparent extra visual effects cause bu the firing
- buying weapons and ammo is very annoying, what's the use in unlocking weapons if you cannot find them readily available in weapons? Combined with the fact that i see no other way of buying ammo than just buying the same weapon again, this make managing my arsenal annoying as sin.
- aiming of my teammate is a bit dumb, sometimes he starts firing at enemies behind walls, depleting his mag before they turn the corner and get in range. On the other hand, posting him next to a barricade will not cause him to shoot zombies behind the barricade. From the teammates perspective, what IS the use of barricades if he has to wait for zombies to brake it down before he can shoot them into bits?
nice game, could add some upgrades for us upgrade-addicts, storyline for us kids (who are frank, bernard, jack and why is everybody picking on the egg) and possibility of mouse control.
Also, cumulative nature of powerups doesn't do it for me, you run out of ammo/time too fast to enjoy it. still 4/5
hmm game doesn't feel too strategic, seems as long as you go with a simple upgrade path (first buy 4 family members, then upgrade all to lvl 2, then all to lvl 3 etc) will get you to win the game. more slots would be good, especially if you add air units etc. Different upgrade paths for family members would be nice too (dad different guns, mom should have a choice between regular or stinky feet slippers (dad's slippers)
not a bad start for a game. Some improvements i'd like to see:
- spending upgrade points on weapons actually having an effect
- control of the player character doesn't feel accurate. Combined with dodgy enemy hit boxes this makes it difficult to aim, atleast too difficult for some simple shoot-em-up fun
- turrets etc should have a larger range or should be buildable all over the field. If i buy turrets they just sit there on the left, getting hit by bullets from enemies out of range to the right. Sure, as soon as those enemies finally come into range they get wasted, but until then my turrets are useless. Balance turrets out, not overpowered nor cannon fodder.
Balance the game, please!... Boss is way too hard compared to the rest of the game, which is way too easy. And it's pretty annoying having to wait before i can fire arrows again after using a skill (even with full stat upgrades). And those obstacles on the field should be either removed or block attacks in both direction, not just block my arrows. And i don't really see the use of a fort if i can't enter it, the only time i ever lost because of my fort being busted was during the boss fight while standing to the left of the boss, and even then my own hitpoints were almost gone too.
controls are terrible. Sometimes my car spins out of control for no good reason (no oil or anything). Upgrading steering doesn't help much, it can actually make steering harder since it messes up sensitivity (too high) while traction still blows. Sometimes I run into oil spil on purpose to smoothen my steering. And it's no fun playing when the AI upgrades their cars at low levels too. But seriously, fix steering...
would be nice to actually start with an accurate gun to better allow you to 'customize' your boss. And mouse aim would be nice. Game also doesn't seem to be consistent in which guns to prefer, i tried getting more lasers by running into them like a moth to a flame (ooh shiny light) but the next level i didn't even get lasers...
simple but fun game, but a bit too easy if you prioritize your upgrades right. Not too sure what the use of the accuracy upgrade is since the gun seems 100% accurate at level 1. Oh, and i'm not too sure what difference it wqould make if you deflect a planetoid only for it to land 2 inches next to your city... 3/5, 4/5 if you improve graphics (too laggy for the graphics you're getting)/upgrade paths/difficulty
buggy, slow and unbalanced. I can't finish lvl 18 since i instantly lose as soon as the game starts, reloading save games etc doesnt help. Unbalanced since it is WAY too easy to increase the number of assaulting pinguins and restoration rate and spamming everything (e.g. an iglo with 2 pinguins will still send 6 pinguins if you increased # assault pinguins to 5). Easiest way is to mass select every iglo you have and attack everything that way since it doesn't matter if you have noone left to defend.
3/5 because it's too unbalanced. Give different tower real different pros/cons. As other comments said, you can pretty much finish the game using sniper turrents, or even better, tesla. Some suggestions: make some vehicles/units imune to tesla, improve the rocket tower (takes ages to fire even if you preheat units with flamethrowers).
upgrade system could simply be improved by pausing the game every upgrade and letting the player mouse-select an upgrade. Bombs are bugged, I start with 3 but as soon as i hit shift ONCE I lose all 3 bombs instead of 1. Also, gun choice (wide shot vs rapid fire) hardly changes gameplay.
