A common game that screams LOOK I TRY TO STAND OUT
Look, I love the game Astroids. I am old school. I truthfully thought that this would be a great remake of the game (As it uses the same concept) But instead of just leaving the whole damn game alone and doing an awesome job on the graphics and gameplay, they obliterate the term "Fun". Heres the lowdown.
The graphicsare good for a flash game that was made by an unknown artist that posts his games on websites that charge you to get the "Extra things". But Nevermind that, The graphics were decent. Now the GAMEPLAY on the other hand... the whole entire concept of collecting rings irks me. Why the hell cant you just destroy the astroids and rack up points to raise some cash? But no, you have to use a lazer (That takes a long time to "Transform" these astroids) to create rings from the astroids. Not only is this Tedious, but its feels like im doing a boring office job. I dont want to come home after a long days of work to sit at the computer and do some more work I dont want to do. Also, the "Enemy's" are basically astroids with lazer beams strapped to themselves. It makes no sense to put a challange in a game if the challange is slow, unaccurate, and as easy to kill as a goomba. After a few tries, i managed to get to level 2, which basically asks me to add more usless things to my ship, and then gives me such a little amount of money, that i just scoff and skip the whole thing together. I know what the creators will probally have in their defense. "Oh, I made this game because I wanted to make a fun, challanging game! Its not a Astroids ripoff" Look, I dont care if you made this by yourself or if you made it without astroids in mind (Which is highly unlikely), the whole game is a chore. Its has nothing Unique, there is no diffcultiy, and the whole concept has been reused many times in many games.
If anyone wants a good game that features you blowing up astroids with aliens, Just play Astroids. Believe me, you will just waste your time playing this one.
