Reviews for "Ballista"

Nice lil' time waster

A bit short, limited upgrades, but a good way to spend several minutes of free time.

Good clean fun.

Reminds me of an old game I played for the Famicom back in the early 80s when I lived in Taiwan. Except I believe that one had enemies too ... dunno, just brought me back for a sec :D

Nice game, but too easy

Nice graphics, nice sound, nice concept. Overall a good game but what i didnt like that there wasnt any difficulty. I stopped somewhere at level 15 because it didnt become harder in any way and up until then I did every level with the first try.
Anyway, I'd say this game is more suited for kids who do something like this the first time ;)

Fun!

Not that bad

Original Idea but needs development

If i had to nitpick at anything, it would be that the game overall is a little too easy. Too many waves had nothing more than open piles of balloons to shoot. I would have liked to see more interesting patterns of blocks and death balloons and such.
You also start out with way too many arrows, only allow the player as many shots as he would need to get all the balloons, that would instantly make your game more of a challenge, and ultimately make it a much better game.
That being said, this was a genuinely fun game to play, which made it easy to ignore thinking too much about what could have been improved. You have a fun, simple concept that i enjoyed and for that i salute you :)
