The first time I played this game, I gave it 2/5 stars because the lack of any way to speed up gameplay drove me crazy. After playing some more, I grudgingly admitted that the game was well constructed and upped my rating to 3/5. But now I realize the developer thoughtfully separated the SFX and music controls -- and provided a nice selection of different tunes to listen to while playing. That's a nice touch, so I'm raising my rating to 4/5 stars. (It's still too slow though, so no 5/5. :P)
It seems to me that a game should be challenging because it's hard, not because it has no tutorial and makes no attempt to distinguish obstacles from background art. I love the artwork in this game, but the gameplay seems unnecessarily complicated.
Very nice game! The game might benefit from balancing the Kraken out a little more and making it a bit tougher to defeat, so the last few upgrades are worth getting.
I keep seeing bad comments about this game crop up on my friends list. So I've been reading the comments here, and it looks like about 90% of the comments are complaints.
It could be honest error that led the developers of this game to price their virtual fishing goods higher than the real thing costs in real life. It might be happenstance that their promotions don't always happen when they say they will, or last as long as they purport to. It could be that all the complaints about missing banknotes are spurious.
But taken as a whole, the only logical conclusion one can come to is that these guys are either negligent, incompetent and/or committed only to taking money instead of actually providing a viable, working product.
It's computer games like this that make me wonder who polices the online gaming industry.
I'm really happy of that! =)
