Relaxing

Nice game, helpd me pass some time

Its ok, but overly hard and repetive

Pretty much agree with the last 2 reviews. As an addinol complaint, what the heck is the point of the right arm fire upgrade? I got it and ntoiced no differnce. And the volume of enemies seems to get crazy around 60 kills, particurly with your slow firing gun.
So more variety of enmies would be nice to, but overall not a bad time killing game

Well...

It has potential but I think you really need to change a few things:

1. MAKE THE FIRING SPEED FASTER!!! I can't tell you how annoying it is to have something that shoots so slow. I mean this is a Defense Game and you should be able to fire as fast as you can tap the mouse button...not once every 10 seconds. You get hit 20 times before you even return fire.

2. Make the upgrades less expensive. I know you want to make the upgrade prices resonable but 500 just to upgrade armor? And why do you have the same upgrade on both the left and right sides? If you upgrade the left you have to gain ANOTHER 500 to upgrade the right?!? If you get an upgrade it should effect the player character as a whole, not a half.

3. Turn up the difficulty slowly. As I was playing I noticed that the difficulty turned up REALLY FAST! I mean when I died I had 5 ground units on each side and 4 air units all shooting at me and that was just after maybe 5 minutes of play time. I know you want this to be a challege but you have to turn up the challege level gradually...let the player get some upgrades so they have a chance (this relates to my suggestions of making the upgrades cost less and affecting the robot as a whole.)

That's all I have for now. I'm sorry for the low score but the 3 aforementioned things--if they are implemented--would greatly improve the game in my opinion.

Lower the prices a little in the item shop

This game is very fun, but not quite fair. I can't really buy the upgrades I need before I'm swarmed by enemies. Maybe a cheap rate of fire boost would help?

Overall, the game is great. The music fits. I like the art. The mechanics are great. If you're looking for a great way to kill a few minutes, this is the game for you.
