Reviews for "Scylla Starfighter"

ur game is a great and well made game i never played a 3d game as good as this but the the movie spots in the game were retarded

one point for the medals only. i hate to give the second point for the graphics, because mincraft have the worst graphic ever, but after all its the best game in the world, but you did some work, i will give you that point too, the gameplay, wasn't boring, i like the minigames, but the second minigame is very buggy i just hold the left or right arrow for 0,1 seconds and i make a whole 360 circle. so 1 point more. after all the vidio and the voices are good too, i will give you 0,5 points more for it.

the bad one is the "KI driven ship". I wanna kill the guys, but the ship make turn arround... wtf? the other bad thing are the weapon upgrades. after a time you will oose them and if you find two or more upgrades youre weapon may will be downgraded...

i hope the review is ok, there are more good things then bad things so, its a good game :D

Graphics are great, gameplay was smooth for the most case. Ships were nicely detailed.

Voice acting needs alot of work. The main character has a really odd voice, specially when she 'crashes her ship' , she sounds so monotone and boring. Alot of the time depending on the character speaking, the volume fluctuated enough to not be able to really hear it to a bit too loud. With a game like this you do need voice acting since the gameplay is so fast -- No one wants to read text, but it needs to be done a good deals clearer with people who know how to voice act a bit better. I believe there was only one or two decent voices in there.

The story was rather odd and it didn't make much sense. Alot of things bothered me, such as them 'jumping' to earth, and then you going to protect the city. You end up LEVELING the whole city with your guns which makes it seem like she's more the villain by simply destroying all the buildings. This is where being able to toggle your gun on and off would of been good, you could of even had a fail/pass status.. For example you would fail if you destroyed 10 buildings or more. But obviously some mechanics would have to change. But overall, did not make much sense -- 'protection of the civilians', not really. The last boss battle the AI claims 'You should leave' to the player. Like the AI is concerned, but makes no sense because it's a 'universal' bomb, thus she'd be killed where ever she'd go. Dialog needs improvement and to be actually thought out so you don't run into odd things like that. The storyline seemed rushed to me, and you never got really tied into/understood who everyone was by the ending.

It was really crummy that some offscreen thing happened to destroy the large ship you were battling in the second boss battle. I would of LOVED to see that thing go up in smoke, instead it feels more like it was removed purely so you didn't have to make a boss level for that one.

The first boss -- the space invaders thing, I don't think should even be a boss. It was a bit oddly added. If you were to do this, you should at least make it smooth. Instead of the ships actually side panning, they jittered, which made no sense to even be in the game. Also, the whole noise bit when they moved, specially when they got faster, was loud and annoying. I wouldn't of been so bothered by this if it had smooth scrolling ships and maybe a quieter transition noise in this battle. Though I think it should of been avoided.

The last boss was the only actual 'boss' battle that interested me. The rest of them were rather boring. It was a smart idea, and actually involved other things. Panning the ship to shoot the crystal type things, and avoiding the beams which seemed to be constructed rather good, giving you enough time to dodge them if you are careful about looking at where they are about to spawn. It was a good boss battle.

Gameplay needs to be more interactive. There wasn't mcuh gameplay, most levels you can sit and let the gun do the work. Even on the last level with a couple of deaths you can get past half way by doing nothing.

The last gripe, once you win, it goes right to the title screen. Sure, you get some voice acting, but no 'congrats/you win', no storyline ending really, I don't even know how we actually stopped the bomb since it was activated and I presumed we were just attacking the outside of the ship. Maybe I missed that. But you really need a proper ending to any game so get satisfied. Look at most of the ME3 players, most of them complain about the ending, they are unsatisfied simply because of the last 15 minutes of the game. This doesn't change the fact that ME3 was a good game until that point, but ending a game like that really crushes the feelings on how players viewed the whole game. So that's the point about having a decent/rewarding game. You should have some sort of reward system if anything, like a score system, just to add something to the game, maybe have people compete a bit for the highest score.

Good luck mate.

Many thanks for your review, it was very constructive, some of the parts of the game appears to be rushed cause they are, i am so sorry but my budget was veeeeeeeeeery low for make this one, maybe if adds go well I can made a new one with all things fixed and still same tech but at the momment i doub it :(

So, I play Skyrim, ME2 and 3 and Crysis at 1080p Ultra settings with 60 fps and this game runs at what, by my best guess, appears to be 12 fps. Why is that? I just updated Chrome to try and fix the issue and that didn't help at all. I don't wanna hear anything about my system, we all know that Skyrim is ridiculously CPU limited and I also have an ATI 6870, so I'm bummed. I really wanted to play this, but I just can't do 12 fps. Anyways, good luck developing 3D flash games, I hope to see more and play more, hopefully optimized to see at least 30 fps on my system!

Hi there, i dont have any idea why is happenning this to you, do you have checked other stage3D flash games? Think about its a very new tech maybe there are some imcompatibilities with some 3d cards :(

I'm giving this game 3 stars solely,because of the voice acting and the graphics.
There is barely any gameplay at all.
As a mater of fact,the game is running right now while I'm typing this review,and I'm not even dying.
That proves how little there is too the gameplay aspect of the game.

TL;DR:Graphics/voice acting good,gameplay shit.
