^^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

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.
