"Great, but..."
date: November 13, 2009
There were a few problems I had with it. It has... unique controls to say the least. The extendo-drill doesn't work on enemies, which surprised me at first and lead to some deaths, and it also takes a fraction of a second to retract before you can do short-range drilling. I was surprised that there was no benefit to "fully experiencing" each level, like a tenth level or something that would let you drill red rocks?
Also, with the level 9 upgrade (which was really easy to get, by the way), the final boss is a joke. I dodged his dark shots once, then he was vulnerable, and it took 3 seconds of mashing the shoot button to take him down.
A really good concept, and I've seen a similar concept executed well in other games, but this one just didn't meet up to its potential, to my opinion. It's definitely a good game, but I see ways it could have been touched up or improved upon.
