This is a straightforward bite-off of the in-development IGF winning game "Fez" by Polytron - Polytron has taken the idea farther with a lot more fun. You can check out Fez at polytroncorportation.com
I've never played a game where winning feels so much like losing...
564 billion cups of tea drunk, 293 million opium users means 1,925 cups of tea per life ruined
1 cup of tea a day means 29,200 cups of tea per 80 year old englishman
so it takes 15 lines ruined to make an englishman happy
guess that sounds about right.
It goes at least to 150 million, cause that's what I got after leaving it all weekend, and it was still chugging along. It seems that combo gives you $3 billion.
+4 stars for the interesting concept and execution
-4 stars for hating people so much to make them work so hard to see all your content
+4 stars for the zombie!
This is pretty neat, lots of strategy - however the timing of the multiplayer of this game makes it very poorly suited for my life. The best games for me are ones that I can pick up and play and walk away from at any time, so waiting for someone else to decide is bad and not being able to pause is bad.
I know those 2 go against each other - but if you took the max time to pick your play down to 1/4th, and made it so I could set my game to auto-play (basically pausing) this would be something I actually could play regularly.
This is innovative and a great artistic piece. However it really sucks as a game to have to play to earn a badge. I found it painful to play survival that long, even thought it was easy.
I agree with Eyran in that shuriken ninjas are terrible - it only takes 2 of them (with the right spacing) to keep you pinned down forever
all in all, this game was a painful way to earn a card. In particular, click control for selection and map scrolling were frustrating and felt bad. Other than that, I would say it's a well made and interesting real time strategy game.
archers are gimped to be completely useless now - it's just so idiotic that they keep moving forward between shooting. makes me feel like the game is retarded.
