The controls are awful and all the text is almost unreadable.

The gameplay was pretty fun with some solid graphics, but that's where the compliments cut off. I really didn't like the font you used comboed with the skin on top of it; it became a challenge just to read what the game was telling me. However, the real challenge was the weird controls and mechanics you've made for this game. Z to shoot with a power bar that loaded up and powers down by pressing, specifically, the number pad's 0 & 1.

There are multiple reasons why this is terrible for a game. The first that comes to mind is that a lot of defense games require you to have fast and accurate aiming, where as the power bar limits you from shooting as powerfully as you'd like, and instead makes you 'aim' as fast as the bar moves. Also, the awkward brawler controls. I don't play a lot of flash games but the only other games I play that require 3+ keys in a row are brawler games, where you need all those keys nearby to preform complicated moves and combos. Most defense games don't need clustered controls because you don't need to be so quick with your fingers, so spacing out the controls and using common buttons would be a more relaxing and easier to use. Which leads me to another point, why use the number pad as your power up/down buttons with no option of changing the controls? Some laptops don't allow you to use keys like number pad, making this game unplayable for people without a keyboard or those features.

Add on the repetitive feel to a game that don't seem to have any sort of point and you can't exactly crucify me for giving you only 2.5 stars.

Pretty good game once you get into it!

However, I would highly advise that you revisit the introduction of controls. The "How to Play" screen is kind of disorganized and easy to skip. On my first play through I couldn't figure out how to turn up the power of the arrow. So basically i could only drop arrows on enemies which wasn't fun at all. After I figured out the controls though, It was a pretty good game.

Really like the concept ... just needs some polish, I think!

Not bad Make more but there is some times were you can get stuck... and also some laptops dont have the Number key pad.... so might want to change that to the top numbers above the letters...
