good, but the first ones were better
some early game concepts were lost that i liked very much, like proceeding blindingly trough a maze of bubbles and the tank upgrades, wich are now customizations of sorts, and i liked the fact that, when hit, we loose bubbles, and not life. It's still good that's true, but this will never beat the older "bubble tanks" games, this game kinda got too complicated in my oppinion.
too easy
as mentioned before - it is too easy to simply make up a tank of any size only made up of cannons stacked to the outside of the tank
noone can hit you that way
ive even been able to do the most impossible user levels out there with difficulties of way above 100
to top that i even turned this into an auto tank that can remotley go through any level killing everything
the trick is putting 6 auto cannons on either outside of the highest class - shiftet a little to the back so they can still shot when moving all the way to the right
then hold d and click outside of the flash
the tank will auto move to the right without my doing and auto shoot all enemies (and not get hit cause everyone aims for the middle)
you should limit the editor to only placing bubbles and weapons that connect in some way
PLEASE READ THIS
First off, i want to say i loved the game. i just beat it about 10 mins ago but i do have some problems.
1. The last level was so easy compared to the second-to-the-last level. Not a big deal though, this didn't effect my rating.
2. The message that pops up that says "not enough gun points" or "not enough bubble points was REALLY slow, even though the rest of the game was going a normal speed. I had to wait forever for the message to fade away before i could continue building. This effected my rating a little.
3. While choosing a tank to add to a bubblefield, the "First", "Previous" and the "Next" buttons that manipulate the pages don't work. I click them but nothing changes, even though it says "page 1 of 8". I'm sure this is just a bug, but it did effect my rating a little.
Other than that, this game was perfect. I hope the last two will be fixed in this version. I will play the third one for sure.
Mac?
Please state whether or not it is Mac compatible because I couldn't even load it correctly. Hopefully it's good!
Very simple but bad custom tanks/enemy AI
I only say this simply because enemies always shoot at the very center of your tank, so if your entire tank was a couple guns made parallel on the top and bottom, and shrink the guns, no bullets could hit you because they only hit you on a vertical line, and youre on the left edge of the map. Seekers do go for a specific bubble on your tank, though, so they are able to hit you in this configuration. Obviously, the tank editor should have a bubble collision checker that makes sure all the bubbles on your tank are connected, thus preventing the problem of having an open centered tank.
Other than this serious game-ruining problem, it was a great game. I must agree with others though. RED COLOR SCHEME IS TERRIBLE! Where on earth do you see red bubbles? change it back to blue please.
