Eh....
It was fun until you put in two shockers at the end of the second boss. Then it just became impossible. Remeber, there is a difference between enjoyable ramping of difficulty and then a brick wall.
Reviews for "Defend Your Trump"
very original and fun
i honestly don;t know what other people are complaining about
its simple as hell and very easy to pick up right away with all this extra stuff that adds a new layer of complexity to it
but for constructive criticism you should probably make a less steep difficulty curve
also you have way too many lives
my guess is that you realized that the game was too hard so you just decided to give the player a shit ton of lives
I'm sure you get a lot of these but...
The shockers got to the point where it was nearly impossible to do anything. There is at one point in the game where there are four shockers at once. This meant that at some stages my crusher was permanently disabled as I was unable to move it at all. After I beat that, I moved on to the last boss. This fight was barely fucking manageable on its own, never mind the shocker that went off every three seconds. It was absolutely impossible to do anything against him because of this. I don't mind one shocker that goes off infrequently, but four at once that all go off regularly is fucking stupid. Without those shockers this game would have a much higher rating than the 3.30ish rating it has now. The game just becomes frustrating after the first boss due to the shockers, and the last boss becomes almost insurmountable because of this. I recommend either removing the shockers altogether, or making it so they do something less debilitating, like slow down the crusher. I am giving this game a 2/3 because it simply doesn't deserve a 4 or a 5.
SUMMARY: FIX THE FUCKING SHOCKERS.
to be brutally honest
I fucking hated this game, all it managed to do is piss me off. From the constant shocking and super fast robots that took two hits while you were busy getting shocked and taking forever to be able to smash again. The art was decent, but the story, gameplay, fun aspect, and overall enjoyability were either non exsistant or just terrible. Sorry but i could not stand this.
Needs a big overhaul
The concept is good, but too much happens on the screen at once, and you don't have the means to respond to it quickly enough.
And those electro-shockers just ruined it instantly; they're a test of patience more than a test of skill.
This game doesn't know whether it wants to be a test of placement and carefully timed button presses, or a frantic test of reflexes and speed.
It's caught between the two, and it can't be both; it just doesn't work.
Also; someone below mentioned "coin-grabber", and I think that's fitting.
It's one thing to put that thought to an arcade game, but putting it in your free flash game is just going to stop people playing it all together.
