Reviews for Space Cadet (game)

[GunPanther]

This is one of the best playing Flash games yet.

Now Asteroids is a very old premise to use for a game, but in this take on the old Asteroids formula, things have been spruced up with lots of variety added to the entire game itself. The controls are very responsive and are quite accurate. The animation is decent (since all it is based on is ships turning, blasting away, shooting cannons and rotating space rocks) but it's the little details that count. I like the way that each ship fired small retro rockets whenever it needed to veer left or right. The sond effects were quite funny because the creator was probably the one who 'performed' all of the sound effects from the cannon blasts (high pitched "doo!") to the obnoxious sounding narrator saying "Your game is OVER!". Overall, this game has been done before, but with all these new twists, it's fun to play again. EXCELLENT WORK! This game made my day. Thanks for sharing it with the NG Portal.

Great game

But 2 probs 1) I keep getting hit by invisible things and 2) you cant hold space up and left at the same time. Apart from that good game.

Good but.......

I liked it overall but why is it that the faster ships could outrun their own bullets? And in a big scrolling plane like that reverse would have been nice. Really great though liked the sound effects!

Seawana responds:

Why can you outrun your own bullets? Probably because I build this game as an exercise in learning how to use Actionscript. I didn't really put the effort into it needed to develop a finished game.

Glad you enjoyed the sound effects. Doing foley is pretty fun.
