Reviews for "Notebook Space Wars"

good

Stylistically, the game is consistent, which is good and I'm glad you were able to capture the "pen and paper" feel of the game. The audio was also well done and thematically appropriate.

Now, the issue I have is more with the genre itself conflicting with the game's visual choices. "Bullet Hell" style games are infamous for their fast pace and stunning visuals. Even on hard difficulty, the speed felt like it was going at a leisurely pace and I lost interest fairly quickly.

That being said, it's not bad, it just needs some tweaking if you're going for the intense move n shoot genre that I believe you intended.

While this game is quite entertaining there are just a few too many bugs left in it and too many similarities to the previous Notebook Wars games. Certain upgrades don't save in between plays. There is a discrepancy in how powerful bombs are. Typos are all over the place. To top all of those things off, there just isn't that much difference between this and previous iterations of the series. Even a large number of the sprites seem to be the exact same ones used previously and the background difference (the major thing) doesn't do much for me besides make it near impossible to find bomb power-ups when they drop.

Overall this is fun to play for a short period of time, but I find the first two games in this series to be more fun, less buggy, and more original.
