Decent game. Controls for the ship are a bit rough, no ending to the game with no way to return or move on, just sort of leaves you hanging with a brief message. Needs a real ending.
Great game, love the music, just way too short. Other than that, very nicely done. Has a nice ambiance from both the drawing style as well as the music.
Figured out the best way to do it pretty early; very repetitive. *HINT: don't build the restaurant until you've built everything else. If you do it right, no one will ever even enter it.
Solid game: my only complaint is that the scaling of difficulty is accomplished by creating enemies that take literally 50 shots or more to bring donw...that's not an increase in difficulty, it merely makes it repetitive. Also, there is some bad hit detection when it comes to fireballs.
Great game! Strongly suggest playing past level 10 before rating as the game gets better and better as it goes on. Deceptively simple at first, but really ramps up the complexity in the later levels with combining different power-ups to your advantage.
IF YOU WANT TO BEAT THE GAME IN ITS ENTIRETY, you need to read a walkthrough first. The surprise ending means it'll take FOREVER to win unless you set up your strategy appropriately for what's coming. Sadly, this was a great game but I won't end up finishing it due to this issue. (Conquering the island is not the end.)
Evil UFOs have too much of an advantage of being able to shoot through the big orbs while your shots at them can always get broken up by the big orbs PLUS the little orb you shot gets collected by the evil one and shot right back at you. Need to alter the rules for this somehow in the programming (not that Evil UFO shots break up big orbs for you, but they should become deactivated when they bounce into a big orb).
Game after level 40 rachets up the difficulty too extremely. There's no way to actually complete level 50 unless you've been able to truly stockpile all of your money for the last 5 levels.
Poor ending to an otherwise fun game (for the first 40 levels or so).
