In all honesty, I look at the useless reviews this game gets and I begin to wonder what the fuck they're talking about, because this game is pretty good....I couldn't tell you about anything beyond Act 3, but I'll do my best.
Frst, I LOVED the prospect of a DECENT FPS made in flash. Most of the FPS flash games suck, and anything of abnormal quality, such as this, was rare. The gameplay was fun, what with the several ways the gnomes died, but the sad part was I never got any of the weapons unlocked, and unless you HAD to use the cheats to get them, they're way too hard to find.
And on that note, the bad parts of the game. The graphics were definitely okay, but I had a few problems. I'm normally good at games like this, which is why I was bewildered when I found I couldn't get past the third boss without dying. It frustrated me, mainly because even on the easy mode, the difficulty of time distribution between destroying his attacks before they damage you and trying to hit his HP tanks was the fact that there simply was not enough time to do it well enough for most casual players. I highly suggest increasing the size of the missiles. Also, the targets on the zombie gnomes were obviously intended to be small, but the Count fight was overkill... I had to kill three gnomes by hitting a little hole in their chest and shoot the count with what seemed to be roughly three bullets before he traipsied off my damn screen. It was fairly aggrivating. Another con was the fact that I chose Pliksin AND the owl and BOTH TIMES I got stuck with the ugly looking retard gnome thing shaking its ass at me after every boss battle O.o. Humorous but altogether infruriating.
In conclusion, the game APPEARS to be quite good, IF I could live long enough to advance the storyline more. I understand I'm probably missing out on a lot and most of my suggestions are therefore moot points, but I still think a sequel of some sort would be nice. Yeah: three levels and I'm crying sequel. JUST DO IT MAN!
