Reviews for "Planet Defense 1"

Decent.

The game is fairly well balanced once you get the hang of it... the key, I have found, is mostly in deflection moreso than brute destruction. To that end, a number of useful tools have been provided...the cost of your available equipment seems to be mostly on par with its usefulness and the rate at which cash comes in....cheap enough to be available when you need it but expensive enough to make you think twice about deployment...and not so affordable as to be overpowered.

The music is a decent loop...gets kinda old after a while. Sound effects are pretty much standard. Graphics are by today's standard, average.

My biggest problem with the game was that I got bored. I played a couple times, got a feel for how everything worked...
then racked up 12,000 points without a single asteroid reaching Earth...defenses still going strong....and I just got bored. Given enough time, I'm sure...things would have become spread too thin and I'd have ultimately lost but I didn't feel like sticking around to see how long it'd take.

The game is a good way to kill about half an hour at most. It has a bit of decent replay value but only for about a 15-minute time-chunk.

In future versions, I'd suggest adding different modes for play to add variety. Perhaps speed rounds where everything starts coming at you a bit faster.

...upgrades....the way this game is set up, being able to upgrade individual units may be a bit too cumbersome (except for perhaps the Bastion), but being able to upgrade unit TYPES could be useful. ..increasing range, knock-back, damage...perhaps being able to decrease the shockwave effect of asteroids blowing up near them and moving them around.... nothing too comlex..the simplicity of the game is charming and one of the selling points I think. ...As is though, it's just slightly TOO simple.

As I sais though, all in all, a good game. 7 stars. Please make more of them :)

Needs Improvement

I liked playing this game...too bad my biggest enemy was me OWN ROCKETLAUNCHER
So I would say that it can definightly be improved and that planet defense two wud be rly aawesome if you fix some things....like making it so you cant hit your other turrets since they get pretty packed then a rocket comes and owns them all
and also i ewant ot be able to move my ships around and maybe upgrades....but the bigest problem was the rocket launchers...even when i placed them FAR away they get knocked back closer and shoot up all me dudes :( othe rthan that i love this game.....so im hoping #2 will hav these changes in it >.<

Friendly fire!!!

I like this game but a few things to improve it. First the damn missile turret hits other turrets in front of it plus it can single handedly wipe out a good chunk of your other turrets if it tracks an asteroid to the side. So a) make it ONLY fire forward in a pre-determined 120 degree arc of the gamers choosing or b) make int fire over other turrets and not damage them. Also increase their range or increase their rate of fire. They are pretty useless without either one.

Secondly the option to sell a turret would be VERY useful. Sometimes you put them in the wrong spot .

Thirdly have your turrets travel back to thier original location after they stop fighting so you can maintain a perimeter.

As was said before, perhaps the option to build a station that sends out spacecraft would be a good idea.

Otherwise i do like this game. It needs work, but the idea is very promising.

cool

really addictive!! best defender game evar!

Great game

However, I would like to se some improvements.
Tower upgrades
more tower types
Towers don't damage each other
Levels, I don't like play til you die games give us a purpose

I really like that I have to do things in the game to unlock the other towers that is a first for me. Other than the changes I proposed this is a great game so keep it up.
