Reviews for Defend Your Trump

Polished but lacking that frontpage spark

I have to agree with Trerro's review.
Its a nice looking, well envisaged game. But the randomness and the general unforgiving nature of the game doesn't give you enough incentive to keep continuing.
For those 'l33t' flash gamers who scoff at people claiming the game is too hard: Yes. Some of us have better things to do than just hone our twitch reflexes on a flash game. Most people play games to relax; real life already presents us with enough challenges to work up to. Try it out sometime.

I can't pause, so yeah... no.

The game play is decent, the music's a bit repetitive but okay, and the animation is pretty good, but man, no pause and I have to fail you.

Way too random

The overall concept, enemy design, and bosses were nicely done, but everything simply picks random locations.

Add in the fact that there's no momentary invulnerability when hit, and you can be forcibly trapped at the bottom for a good 20 seconds, or forced to let a boss repeat an entire phase because you can't get up there to hit him. This makes your ability to beat the game you vs. the RNG, not any kind of skill challenge.

The result is a very frustrating game, which, whether you beat it or not, is rather unsatisfying as you know it came down almost entirely to dice rolls.

Sorry...

...but this isn't front page material in my opinion.

Could work on it more

I don't know if the electric fields were meant to follow your every move or it randomly shocks different parts but i really couldnt leave the bottom since the shock rate was 10x faster than my movement and they were hovering right over me. Difficulty is a key component to a game but there's a difference between challenging and just pissing people off.
The concept is funny though considering its fucking trump, I'd assume he'd have the dinero to buy upgrades. Would be nice for bombs or more speed, or spikes or something.
This game had potential to be fun but it's really basic and repetitive.
Though I understand that there might not be any edits since this was just put out to let the idea out.
