Not a bad game, but the Video Walkthrough button constantly gets in the way.
Reviews for "Octeria"
I liked the game but I quickly reached max level around wave 4. And I wasnt even that powerful so maybe add more update levels..
Not sure what to say.... game seems to have bugged out for me - no new foes are spawning. I'm around lvl 30 if that has any chance of being related, and died... oh.... 5 times? Its a good game, though... the controls feel a bit slow, though (speed, not response).
Camera feels a bit weird and the invisible walls feel a bit claustrophobic on the sides, though gameplay feels like it certainly has potential.
The general idea is nice, but there are really a few problems. Most of them have been mentioned by other users already, but I'm still going to name some:
- Player movement speed is much too low.
- Controls could be improved.
- Reloading system annoying and useless.
- Difficulty quite high after wave 1.
- Game does not pause in the upgrad screen. (Seriously, wtf? Why on earth would you do that? Especially when the game kinda turns into a bullet hell shooter after some time~)
Also the graphics were rather unspectacular. I'm not a big fan of some geometrical shapes hovering around and shooting each other, although there qre quite a lot of games like this out there. Go back to the roots and give us some space ships or anything more fancy than boxes.
Its fun to start out with and has promise, but the difficulty just sky rockets. I ground a little bit on the first boss (immobilized it and killed blue guys) to upgrade my weapon... but it seemed like it didn't even matter. The weapon just did miniscule damage and suddenly after the 2nd boss I was surrounded by tons of the orange guys shooting at me from all directions. I probably could have played it a few times and caught the hang of it or the pattern but having a slow moving weak shooting ship just seemed like less of a challenge then a handicap. Also... what appeared to be an audio pause (or some kind of pause) button was instead a "give up" button and instantly destroyed my ship. was that supposed to happen?... or is that a glitch? maybe i missed something in the instructions but you cant use that symbol as anything but pause. It was after i hit that button and the game told me i was destroyed that i gave no more thought to playing.
