Reviews for "Penguin Overlords"

Too much fun.

I don't review often and there for don't give 10s often but this game just made me smile. I don't find any aspect of this game unappealing. I would knock it for being repetitive, but I'd much rather have the game long enough so that I might be able to play until I am content.

Side note: Oddly enough I want to play Kingdom Hearts and eat Dippin' Dots.

a few flaws

the game looks good ,but the gameplay is bad. The penguins have bad AI, If There is something blocking their way they won't go around it ,and when they lock on a target they never change it even If another turtle is walking right past them, and what the fuck is with the MISS ? seriously is it that hard to catch a turtle ?

Good, but....

Pluses -
Graphics are clear and good music
Fun Concept and who doesn't like upgrading?

Minuses -
Does get repatative
Music gets boring after a while
Ending very dissatisfying
Unique abilities should be available for your penguins, such as auto-collect money
No bosses

Overall -
Great start to a good time-killing game, but with a few simple tweaks, could be made so much better

Pretty good...

...but got boring a little too quickly. Also, the music was great, but just made me want to play Kingdom Hearts.

Well....

The game just seemed incomplete to me, like it was a beta or something. I love the premise of it, and I liked it in the beginning. However, it was just too boring. Here are some things I had problems with...

- The fact that you can't control the penguins gets extremely annoying. I mean sure, they get the job done by themselves most of the time, but it would be really nice if you could designate a specific turtle type to take out first, like the ones with guns mounted on them.

- It would also help if you could at least make the penguin's AI better, at least so that they can actually go around the rocks. Can't count how many times I died in the early stages due to me running out of bombs and watching my penguin die due to a simple wall.

- The fact that you really can't get everything unlocked by the end really was a bummer. In games like this one of the most fun things about them is the fact that you can just have this super charged army or have your character all buffed out, being able to easily tear through everything that's not the final boss(es). This game just lacked that, and it was really disappointing. Plus it was just monotonous and beyond tedious trying to grind for upgrades.

It was a decent game, but it wasn't really outstanding. Improving upon the things above would really boost the score and make the game more fun. And add a final boss or something to the next game you make, if it's like this. It felt like I was jipped out of a final level.
