I want a good game!
(man, that sounded so much better when it was all in the subject line...)
Anyway, using the "Scorched Earth" name means people are going to expect a lot of the game. And we did. Unfortunately this seemed like a test because of all the bugs in it. The gauges were hard to see, the game was hard to start over, there were only two types of attacks (I'm not counting the teleport because it didn't work very well), the power gauge was busted (don't try and play it off like it's better) it should be based on how much health you had left too (that's how it really worked), and there was no comp.
After that, it should be fine and worthy of the front page.
Don't get discouraged, it was an alright first try.
