Kinda fun..

Pretty good game. Got really repetitive though and only once the red enemies appeared did the game start freezing for me. The locks over the weapons was really annoying. Fix it. I would like it better if the weaponfire reflected damage levels better. And the energy system for the weapons is kinda weird. Get down to 0 and then has to reload. It's not a cartridge or a battery, it's regenerating, so shouldn't it actively do that, so if you use your gun too much you can't shoot any more? I enjoyed it for a while.

Thanks for the review and good point you have there for the weapon energy system. I'll try to make it more logical for my next game :).

Too easy.

I just completed the game without dying once by just running around the edge of the rooms with causes ALL the opponents to herd into one giant pin cushion. A great shame really since the other aspects of the game where quite good, although I feel the game could have benifited froma greater complexity in weapon customisation (no thats not spelt wrong in England we don't like the letter "z").

Try introduction stationary opponents to make the game more challenging.

7/10

It was missing some things.

It was a well put-together game, and zombies are always a wonderful choice for your bad guys. There were a few things that could use some help though.
First, it was waaaay too repetitive. People don't play flash games because they want to see great graphics. They want something new and creative and fun. All the levels were kind of the same, and even though the guns changed the strategy didn't. Maybe if you had learnable abilities or special moves? Or at least have some of the guns do something interesting.
Also, the upgrades were way too good (or the expensive guns were too bad). I had a level 2 photon with a scatter upgrade, and then in sector 2 I bought the most expensive gun I could buy (a level 3 neutron). The gun alone was way more expensive than my previous one, but since there wasn't an upgrade it wasn't near as good as my previous gun. Perhaps guns should be cheaper, and upgrades should be more expensive.
But again, I must say it was a well put-together game, with good music and graphics.

Fun...for a while

Don't get me wrong, the game is really nice in the start, and the upgrade system is very intreesting as well, however, the enemies you face are all the same. Well, from what I played, they didn't change at all, except their colours. Oh, and one shoots energy balls at you, that's all. In the end it gets way too easy... but, it's still fun, just has some flaws. Hope to see a better one. ;)
