Innovative but...
It gets boring really fast.
Reviews for "World Defense"
Promising start but needs some work
This is a very promising first release candidate but falls short in two regards. First, it fails to keep the player's interest and becomes monotonous by the third level. Secondly, it's not all that fun in its current state. This isn't to say I dislike the game at all -- it's actually one of the most inventive and potentially excellent games I've played in a long time.
Three suggestions:
1.) Pour on the heat: throw more meteors at the player earlier; the game should become substantially harder from level to level.
2.) Add some FUN content: introduce a few unique and intermittent earthbound objects to break the monotony of the meteors; perhaps space shuttle capsules you can guide INTO the buildings for bonus score.
3.) Variety in music: Please. Nothing says monotony like repetitive music. Even if you only include three tracks with the game, alternate them each and every level. And make them *exciting* tracks -- you'd be surprised how crucial the soundtrack is to holding a player's interest.
Overall, I really like the game. The engine you've built is truly unique and the game has a lot of promise. With a bit more polish, this game could become a coffee break classic. Keep up the good work!
Gets Boring
The techno beat and blurr effects were fun for a while, but after about 10 mins it gets very, boring. I suggest adding more upgrades, because they absolutely s***ed. Also try adding more effects to the terrain like lava bursting out of the core, house goes in flames when a meteor hits it, some trees, little screaming people etc.
OK, it has an interesting idea.
But it was not what I expected, it was slow and very repetitive, always the same meteors just again and again... Upgrades are dull and I don't like the music.
To make it more realistic, meteors should burst in flames in ozone layer and shrink a little. And also, meteors from bottom and up don't give you time to do anything.
And I suggest putting everything to HIGH, because I have a slow computer and it worked perfectly.
Very Interesting Idea
I love the idea of turning the earth to avoid the meteorites. It's very clever, however after a while it starts to get a bit repetative. Maybe you should try adding some tweaks?
