Reviews for "Mission Mars"

Addictive concept, flawed execution

I've enjoyed playing this a few times, but I've become frustrated with it, not because of the skill needed to advance past level 5 or so, but because the CONTROLS are so INCONSISTENT. First of all, the bombs don't drop from the center of the craft, so that's visually deceptive. Second, if you wail away on the spacebar, the game will happily make the laser sound, though no bomb falls... and if you press the space bar a hair too early, there's some delay before it'll recognize another press. Third (and this has happened quite often), I'll drop a bomb, fly over a couple of towers, and just as the first bomb goes off, I fire a second one... except that no bomb drops, but _multiple_ stages of the first tower explode and collapse. Huh? Retroactive bombs? Why does it not just drop a bomb where I told it to? Surely you've noticed these inconsistencies during your testing. They mar what is otherwise an addictive little diversion. (Oh, and the fact that some bombs can slip between the towers patently sucks as well... do this _once_ during the higher levels, and your game is effectively over because of the time lost. I don't see how that aspect enhances the gameplay at all.)

Pretty good, could be better

It looks great and plays well, but there isn't much to it. Although you need to time the shots and spamming the spacebar wont get you past the secound leve, it needs more content.

Reminded Me of A Palm Pilot Game

My friend had a game just like this called BOMB CANADA! on his Palm Pilot. You shot at buildings in Canada so that you could land and save Wendy from the damn Canucks.

It was good, I love the graphics. But that's what it had the most going for it. Very repetitive. Good Job though.

You get to blow stuff up

This game is fun but, as pete117 said, "the sound was repetative" Also, I'd prefer some blood and bigger explosions. Overall, it's good, but gets old after level 3. Not as addicting as it looks. BUT FUN!

Not to great...

Games like this make you want to beat yourself up. I mean, there is nothing worse then having to watch your space ship go to its doom because you didn't destroy a long shaft. More control in the game would greatly improve it.

The graphics were like butta but the sound was repeatitive. A little extra work and you'd have a masterpiece.
