This would be a four or five star game if the controls actually worked. How did this mess get any badges at all? Why revisit it and give it badge of the day? Embarrassingly bad.
Pixel perfect jumping sucks in any game. The block respawn speed is just stupid. And surprises? At that speed? Dumb design.
This so could have been a cleverly simple game. Instead it is just a lesson in how to thoroughly mess up a really good idea.
Either let me see the whole screen or give my units some sort of AI to defend themselves. Otherwise the off-screen ones they just stand there and get slaughtered, which is really annoying. 3/5
OK - looks good. The slide tackle delay is good, the sprint key is in a better place and the pass across goal seems to work. On the down side, 'click to continue' at half time and the end no longer works (you need to press space now, but it doesn't say that) and it is no longer updating the Kong high score table. It still could do with key customisation and it tends to change player focus when you are chasing down attackers, which means your new player tends to start running in a fairly useless direction - perhaps don't change player focus if the player is pressing any buttons?
First(ish) game I take it? Not a bad effort, though having jump-able clouds near background clouds meant that I took a while to work out what to jump on next.
Good, simple game. A couple of points:
- the striker passing is sometimes rubbish. Crosses seem to stop near the goal keeper for some reason.
- you need a button to change player focus. it tends to stay on a player for far too long (especially when the opp is on the attack).
- please, please, please include key control customisation. The sprint key especially is in the wrong place.
- I found a bug where I carried the ball over the back line near the goal. The ball sat in the goal area, but no one could get to it.
But, decent enough game.
really good concept. two issues: 1) you seem to need to click to select, then click to drag and drop. Not good. 2) Big one. MAKE THE PIXELS DO WHAT I SAY!! the automatic movement of my troops is really annoying.
But, you really do have the basis of a good game here.
Started off rating this a 4... and it's now been re-rated down to a 2. And that's simply because the computer controlled cars don't get treated the same as mine when it comes to oil-slicks, sand, barriers, etc. Makes tracks like 4-03 unplayable,
Once you have Stone of Fire (red card), Shield (Red + White cards) and House of Lightning (Red + White + Dk Green cards) then defeating anything, including bosses is pretty easy. Good game, though.
