Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Indie, me and sanCelluz have never said that your game is so bad...we only have done a comment about what we think it might be a bug. I find exceeding that you have to say that we are supposed to be gamers and not kids. I think that your game is very good, and enjoyable, but i only say that the fact that i arrive everytime to the last boss and lose in that way it's really frustrating,believe me... now i'll try again, and I only hope that one day I will succeed in completing the challenge :)

ill be constructive
i agree with what has been said, it is a 1/5 fun factor and is boring as well
to change it youd maybe need more powerups, change around th controls, add more kinds of shbooters
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Ok, so I finally beat it, and i have some constructive comments to add. First, you really should remove the double-fire powerup after you get the tanks. Second, for bosses, it would be nice if you could actually do something to stop their onslaughts. Thirdly, i kept getting over 100% accuracy,i got like 170 or somthing on the boss, so...yeah... somthing to consider. To all the people who say the boss is unbeatable, just don't let so many buildings get destroyed. Oh, and to the guy who said there wasn't a pause button, yes there is, check the controls before complaining.

One word: dreadful. This is an awful game. For a start, the controls suck. Also, there is no pause button. Every game needs a pause button. Not only that, but the time that it says 'Game Over' Is almost completely random, I once had half the city left and it said Game Over! If I could vote 0 that is what it would get.

man.... like an hour and a half, spent losing on lvl 15, the boss wins no matter how many missles i hit it with or how many of its shield drones i kill
i dont like this challenge =,(

Oh, and Desktop Defense too about 1 hour to get the end level to find out you didn't get 5000 points... Much more frustrating of a challenge in my opinion, considering it takes only about 20 minutes max to make a try for P.O.D.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Despite all these haters below I still think Desktop Defense was much more boring of a defense game. It was such a yawn I never got the card. I'm sure it depends on who is playing, but I don't think I've ever lost on P.O.D, seems a bit easy really, then there are people that can't beat it?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I hate to say it, but this game sucks. It takes waaaaay to long to get to the boss. And then the boss takes you out like it's nothing. I played twice, won't be playing it anymore.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I dunno how squishy had such an easy time. It took my like ten tries. Finally though! Whew! I was worried I was going to have to pass on this card.

Anyone with problems beating the bosses should have a look at this forum topic:

I love this game but after playing a long time, in the last level I alway lost.
This makes me GRGRGRRGRGGDSGFSRGGDRGSRDSDRGS.

As say before...i never found this game hard...all the times i have played it i have gained level 15..my problem was for the boss and the building that sometimes are more than one...anyway last time i died in the sametime of the boss...and naturally i have lost :P
And anyway.....im a gamer...not a kid...and i really think that this game need more work, its nice but surely not worthy for a challenge session...maybe next time......

theres a difference between challenging and rediculously annoying. this gamer could have been s much better but it pisses me off
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the best way to beat the game is this.
1.make destroying the missiles first priority,they cause the most damage.2.those red dots not only help u kill squid,they are the things thats give u power ups,use them sparingly.(exept for boss level,use them like crazy then)3.constantly switch trucks to gain the advantage of accuraccy to easly destroy missiles,but dont switch too much becuz ull drain their power too fast.4.on the final boss level,just simply destroy all the red things u see while keepping a steady flow of bullets on the boss,also make destroying his minions first priority.use ALL power ups on boss tho.that is all...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
oh wait a minute...ive just looked at the other posts and i am laughing at them all now.this game is dirt simple,BUT learning to beat it with ease was exremely tricky,im sure only a third of the ppl who played this game have found the ultimate strategy for beating it...thus i will tell you...(in my next post)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
After reading these comments I want to put my 2 cents in....this was the least pressured of all the challenges so far. Yeah, it might have a few bugs here & there, but nothing serious. If ppl would go to the forums or be directed there, an understanding of the strategies can be found. Indie did a fine job here.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I liked some of the gameplay, the graphical style was good and retro, and the music wasn't bad. But, it's really hard to tell when you're dying, and the game itself is pretty darn tough. I also don't really like having to go back all the way to level 1 when you lose on 15, especially since it takes so long to get back.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Lol...after my complaints i just ended the game....but he didnt give me the card.....sigh...a problem with the flash plugin? I HATE THAT...and i will try again....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I dont know its a bug....but when i get to last boss with a city near perfect and he give me a game over after some shots...i found it very weird......anyway.....surely the worst game used for a challenge....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think that if so many users had problems of this kind there must be a bug.And the fact that you tried 10 times makes my opinion even stronger, because if someone tried 10 times to kill a boss, changing everytime strategy, it's difficoult that he doesn't succeed in doing it.well, i'll try tomorrow,but i think that the staff should give a look to this game! see ya tomorrow
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Im quoting the users with a problem for the last boss...its tiring to get a game over without know why....10 times played..10 times directly to level 15 and 10 times died with the last boss that seem to win without notice........any hint for it or i have to pray for a blessing for the next games that i will play?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I believe you should be more clear about the real losing conditions...I have the same problem as sansai, and i tried three times to kill the last boss...even if he doesn't destroy everything I lose...it's frustrating! and moreover the game is incredibly easy till level 14 and you don't know why you lose on the 15th level,so you have to play 25 minutes in order to reach the end and lose in that way, without knowing why... I can't understand why this game is so popular and why it was chosen for a challenge sincerely...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
You never say what the lose condition is. Or at least if you do it is horribly unclear what exactly it is. I don't like the fact that I get a game over when there are clearly building still left on the field that have yet to be destroyed. And I don't understand why that if he destroyed one side of the planet why it should not just move to another city and destroy that. I mean the tanks are okay to continue volleying the final boss. The gameplay is a bit boring and monotonous as well.

Music was cool. I like the simplistic look to the graphics. Game play could use some work though. Controls were kind of a pain. Overall it was good but could use some polish.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The game is ok, but really not all that fun, and it's pretty easy till the last boss. The only thing that really makes this worthy as a challenge is the last battle, and that's probably because I'm not fighting him right.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A tip to those that think why the shots are not going to your supposed target.You're moving the shots,so of course it's applying real physiks(Or physics) to make it realistic.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There is no skill in this game, its all button bashing. Its unclear what to do with the bosses, and the seemingly random level changes are the only thing that keep you alive. :( The missiles never go where you aim them either.

Personally, your graphic style and music were incredible. However, there were some things that I thought could definitely be improved.
Users like a responsive and acute sense of control of their player in the game. Your game proved to have the complete opposite. I understand you might have done this to add difficulty, however it seemed to be more of an annoyance than added difficulty. Also in the later levels I experienced some lag, which didn't help with the already delayed controls. Lastly, I think it would've been nice if you indicated the players life/health somewhere. It's cumbersome to evaluate you city while being under attack just to judge how well/bad you're doing.
I've watched your rating go progressively down from where it was before you became this week's challenge. I'm guessing some of the things I found frustrating with the game, others did also. I hope the input helps though, keep up the good work.
