SUCKS!!! BLAM IT!!!
Normally I LOVE these kind of shooters; a 1 against many kind of game is exciting, knowing YOU hold the fate of whoerver you're trying to save in your hands. But this game...it--to be pianfully blunt--SUCKS!!!
First off, I HATE mouse controlled games. You have so little control over you ship unless you can move your mose very s-l-o-w-l-y. It's imossible to get the control you need to make fast turns/changes in direction you need to to avoid mines ,bullets, ect.
Second...why do the power ups vanish so fast? I mean I saw a shot upgrade and as soon as I registered what it was it was gone! It stands to reason that since this is a mouse controlled game--and there are a MILLION mines/enimies on the screen at once that the player would try to stay back as far as ossible to at least have a CHANCE to avoid obstacles. If the powerups disapper 1.2 seonds after the appear what's the point?
Third, you really need to redo this game. I mean it's impossoble to avoid mines, enemy bullets, and shoot at said enmies all at once. if you goint t have a mine field run...take out the ships...if you're going to have a ship to ship firefight...take out the mines. Also keep the power ups on the screen for A LOT loner than they are now.
Finally, take out that stupid "get hit 5 times and your gun downgrades" thing I think I MIGHT have gotten 1 or 2 powerups just by doing a susicide chage to get it but by the time I got it and tried to back off to use it I had already been hit 12 times. The only time a gun should downgrade is when you die--also add more lives to this game--one life and game over totally sucks.
All in all the beginning was nice but after that...you really need to rework 99% of this game...the controls, the distrbuition of mines/enimies, the length that power ups stay on the screen, the stupid "5 hits and you loose you power up" thing. This REALLY needs total overhaul/redo.
