its a great game, but every time i get around 3000 and the white ships come out, it freaks out and gets so laggy i cant move.
Reviews for "Retron"
Simple, yet effective...
That's the best way to describe this game.
Graphics: Good. The graphics, though simple, are highly polished. They bring back fond memories of such fantastic titles as Grid Wars 2. The game could have used more of a background though... (7/10)
Style: Good. The game hasn't been overloaded with a whole lot of necessary 'stuff', and the package comes together coherently. The 'negative space' (lots and lots of blackness) comes to mind as a weakness again, and also the message that appears when you die is a grammatical horror. Still, good overall. (7/10)
Sound: Ok. The sound isn't quite as good. The effects are too quiet and the music, while good, is repetitive and forgeable. Not too bad though... (5/10)
Violence: Very little. I suppose blasting enemy ships out of the sky is violent, but let's fact it, these ships are just geometric shapes. (1/10)
Interactivity (game play): Not bad. I would have preferred it if you could move your ship forward and back as well as left to right, and perhaps a few more options would have made it more interesting, but keeping with the simplicity ethos, it's pretty good. (6/10)
Humor: Very little. There is a mildly amusing bit in the soundtrack, but that's about all. (1/10)
Overall: Good. Despite a few problems, this is a pretty good game. I'd recommend you increase the ship's range of motion and add a background. (7/10)
Kenney responds:
Graphics: Thanks, I tried adding some nice backgrounds but I liked the emptyness better.
Style: Thanks, again the same as above and A SPLODE is not a grammatical horror it's a tribute to Homestar Runner's Strong Bad.
Sounds: I made the sounds that silent because they would become annoying if they were too loud.
Humor: Not every game should be funny, I hate this point as much as interactiviy...So lame? You still found something funny in the game though =)
interesting game
very orginal, very confuseing but an addicting game overall, i would only play it once but for others it mit be pretty dame addicting. I liked it but its not for me so good luck in future gaming
good game
great game. i like the originality. the only thing that i find annoying is that i have to shoot the center of the enemies.
Kenney responds:
You don't have to shoot the center of enemies, you can shoot them at their sides too =)
