Would be nice to be able to save the game with cookies or newgrounds login. This is an excellent game but without saves players will not be as dedicated as they could be to progressing in the game.
Reviews for "Mars Commando"
this ones above my pay grade. a choice of difficulties and a tutorial level would help, but man is this game hard!
Really nice game, beautiful desing.
Looks nice, fun to play. Very cool to see your space marines laying down the fire on a wave of martians. Poor martians. It is their water, after all.
But the problem isn't so much that it's CHALLENGING, as that it is UNFORGIVING. For example, if you die on the last stage of a day, you will have to start that day again from the beginning. After dying on the last stage of day 3 and learning that I would have to play the entire day again I rage-quit. Deciding to give the game another chance, I loaded it up again later, only to find that my progress is lost - I have to start from day 1. This is despite the fact that it saves your lineup of soldiers. How can you try out different strategies if you have to start from the beginning every time?
Another example of unforgiving - it costs money not just to recruit soldiers, but also to deploy and un-deploy them. Not exactly encouraging strategic exploration, is it?
All in all, when making another game or updating this one you need to remember that people will play this to have fun - not to bang their head against the wall. Adding different difficulty levels would allow you to make the game you want, as well as allow people to play it the way they want, which is a win-win situation.
. . . .Its not that hard, i have no idea what people are complaining about, just set your soldiers up at choke point. preferably gatling or rail gunners, and have flak guys to back them up when they get too close. People really need to start thinking, any way i thought the game was great. Was to some degree difficult, but not impossible.
