starts out entertaining, gets obnoxiously hard very quickly. Spending money on upgrades actually makes you weaker, not very many upgrades to chose from.

Here's a challenge.... put the red birdy at the top of your screen, and fly towards it FOREVER. After you have done this for 328 straight hours, go to Wal-Mart and buy yourself a clue.
OK, I liked this game ,once I figured out how to play, here's my major flaw in its development: In space, you have no compass, and human beings tend to consider "up" in a 3 dimensional plane to be "Forward" If you're human, you will never find a planet... What I didn't realize for the longest time, is that as you get near a planet, the entire universe rotates around you slowly, until the planet is "Down" or "South" from you. I kept trying to go "Up" or "Forward" to new planets, and this sneaky little mind-bending rotation of the cosmos would have prevented me from ever reaching a destination, had I not tabbed to another web page out of boredom.
Here's the deal. I found it to be a fun game, nice graphics, would recommend to a friend etc.
The constructive criticisms I have are these:
1. The digging and slot machines are a poor implementation of a decent idea. It takes a lot of time to spend your treasure, and after I FINALLY won one, and realized it was only 250G, I decided digging was not worth my time. I suggest stacking the treasure into a single spin, and converting the slot game into the type where there are several win lines, which could be activated depending on how many treasures you have.
2. The balance on the units is off, the mobs have so much health, and the attack range is so small for any unit, that the best strategy is to stack tons of archers. I would suggest adding width to certain units attack ranges, and emphasizing different types of attacks (Poisons, splash damage, slow effects, stun effects, armor piercing effects etc.) as a method of encouraging players to have multiple types of defenders.
OK, here's the secret for how to play this game. first you purchase the basic tower. There are 3 upgrade options, the first is Gun, the second Laser, the third Missile. Once you have upgraded it once, there are 3 more options for each gun. In this case, the first position is always Ground and Air, the second is Ground Only, and the third is Air Only. There is one final upgrade, but it only improves the path you have already chosen for that gun.
The upgrade paths are.... perplexing. It's, as far as I can tell, ALWAYS more efficient to stack level 1 towers of any type rather than upgrade.... each upgrade costs 100% of the tower value, yet only confers 25% extra damage, making them a total waste of cash unless you have run out of empty spots in the field to fill with rank 1 towers.
I like the concept, I like the tower types, I like the different paths for flying/nonflying units.
I would like to see more intelligent upgrade paths, health bars, and a working speed increase.
Interesting game. It kept me amused enough to finish it anyhow. The cutscenes took ip probably 60-70% of the time. It would be nice to have the oppertunity to review your breifing notes. As in a couple of missions I wasn't sure who to shoot so just started taking shots at random people.
Left side: Octopus, Submarine, Bucket, big rock. Right side: Head, Bowling Ball, Birdhouse.
Gotta chase 2 birds to the left, and one to the right, perch the snowmans hat on the middle balancer. DONE
In terms of the game play. The game is actually more engaging than I had thought, based on the description. The upgrades have prety much no value, and the penalty for missing any of the end-of-level comboes is to lose over half of your temples life, which can only be repaired by saving gold from several levels, and increases in cost each time. This creates a severe balance issue, and pretty much all the money goes to temple repairs after the third level or so. 2/5
I didn't read all the comments, so I don't know if someone brought this up.... but I think it's awesome that in a spelling game, the instructions are mis-spelled... "Rage og the Wind" anyone?
I was pleasently surprised, I didn't expect much when I started, but the gameplay was engaging enough that I played all the way through and had a good time.
The game is easy enough the way it is, but I feel like there could be more strategy and less twitch-arrowing if you were given a few seconds to survey the field before people start running about.
Well, it's a remarkably simple, very short game. It has zero replay value, as after you've figured out where to stand to beat all TWO of the bosses, you can do it with your eyes closed. I really don't understand why this is rated so high. it's at BEST a 2 star game that someone whipped together in 15 minutes while they were drunk.
After playing it a few more times, it is obvious that the game ends as soon as you get your first grey. at that point you no longer have the size to maintain your own mass, and shrink to oblivion quickly.
