^^Good Points^^
The graphics were very impressive. Your environments were incredibly detailed and had lots of good animations. Even the opening scene looked very nice.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't know...I found the game play very confusing. It said to aim with the arrow keys, which only made me move my mice left and right instead of aiming the weapons, which was really annoying. I read the instructions many times and still couldn't figure it out.

"Fantastic graphics, horribly unbalanced mechanics."

by: Bezman
date: February 3, 2008

I liked the graphics. Music was cool enough, but got a bit monotonous on the 2nd game. I liked the way you had black and white, with colour used for highlights.

I played this game twice. First time, I ended up winning with both rats (barely) alive. The beer keg seemed to stop my opponent from retaliating and with that weapon, the whole game seems unbalanced - as soon as we knock one opponent out, victory is virtually guaranteed.

Obviously inspired by worms etc. this just seems kinda unbalanced and too easy.

If you want to teach folk about managing finances, maybe make running out of cash a real possibility. Each time I used the bear keg, I seemed to make a net gain of 10! Maybe you could've had more targets, had more expensive things do more damage (instead of stuff like cats/dogs just doing damage to yourself if you're unlucky and increasing RNG effects) and kinda encouraged folk to only buy something as expensive as they need - buy something to deal more damage than you need to and you'd be guaranteed to run out of dosh for at least a couple of turns.

Enh.

It looks cool and the explosions in the intro made for an auspicious start (unlike the buttons that don't tell us if we're over them) but the game mechanics didn't really live up to that.

"Awesome"

Really nice game, obviously taking inspiration from worms. Really nice interface, easy to use, and great music. THe only fault I had was with the speed of the game play, kind of just went too slow. worms deals with this with funny voices and fast intelligent CPU players. I know you couldn't have done this, but still need something.
Overall a really great and fun game :D

"Nice"

by: Auz
date: February 2, 2008

Good parts:
The graphics were very good. I liked the drawings and you used a nice mix of colors. I also liked the weapons you can use, they were fun and interesting. The weapon-buying system was nice as well, although I think the amount of cash you get is a bit too much. I never had any money trouble.

Bad parts:
I think the game ran a little bit slow. Especially when throwing weapons across the field. You did not have much time to walk or switch weapons, so quite often (because it ran slow) it happened to me that I lost my turn. Perhaps you could give us a bit more time, like 45 secs. Also, I think the music was a bit repetitive, but luckily there was a button to turn it off.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. A good game, it was fun. Keep up the good work.

"Real good"

This is a real fun game to play with easy gameplay and nice simple graphics. The audio was good. It would be cool if the weapons did more damage and the game was a lil faster.

It's a very nice "Worms"-like game with a good range of original weapons and great graphics.

The gamplay was good and the controls are very easy to get. I didn't read the instructions, yet it was very obvious what I was supposed to do.

Only thing that bothered me was that the game runs fairly slow. Maybe you can put up the frame rate a bit, so that the game runs faster.

"If only I had another person to play with."

date: February 2, 2008

- Good stuff -
There was great range of weapons, really original ideas and not any from any other flash games or real games that I've seen so far in my life. The graphics looked really nice and detailed and the slatters of the weapons looked really nice.

- Bad stuff and improvments -
If there was some sort of storyline to this it would be improved greatly but then it would be a MUCH bigger project and there might be too much work, but it's been pulled off before but it's just taken a hell of alot longer. But maybe you could have badges to unlock whihc unlock better weapons, but maybe that would be too hard aswell...

"Ooo Worms"

date: February 2, 2008

Very nice take on the Worms game I belive, it's pretty good to play and everything, simple to learn and having two players is also good, though the jumping seems to a little annoying at times when you want to get over something, wastes too much time, maybe increase the jump height. I like the fact that the weapons are limited to how much money you have, that's a nice idea.

The graphics are good, animation is also good and the music also fits into the whole thing very well, so that's nice too. The opening part to the menu was also very fitting and looked very good with the whole thing. So my only problem is the jump height and maybe the lack of damage done by some weapons.

5/5

"Nice"

date: January 31, 2008

Graphics and gravity was really good. I like the worms type setup. That's great. Although a destructable landscape and/or more weapons would be nice. It's a good fun game, a little slow, but it's decent. I spent quite a while on this, the weapons didn't inflict all that much damage... But it was an entertaining game.

"Great game with lots of potential"

date: January 30, 2008

This game is very good and highly addictive. The graphics are nice, I like the style of the drawings, specially the character's drawings. The music and the sounds are great. Some of the sounds of the weapons were even funny! I liked some of the features in this game, like the wind effects over your weapons. I also liked the money aspect. We can't use the most expensive weapons all the time or we will end up without money, so we have to use our money wisely!

One nice touch in this game is the character colour selection. Although, if we could customise our character more, it would be even better. I mean, more options of customising, like the hat, the shoes, some accesories... The list goes on, just use your creativity!

Also, I found the game a bit easy. It took me a while to get used with the gameplay, but once I got it, the game got very easy. Maybye you can add some difficulty seeting, with harder enemies and more expensive weapons. That sure would be a great addition.

I also think that there could be a different map on this game, always playing on the same map gets a little dull. There could also be an option to set the number of players on each team. Only two on each team makes the battle very fast.

To sum up, this game has lots of potential. I really liked this game, reminded me of the classic Worms Armageddon. Great game, I believe this deserves a spot in the front page.
