Nice
I wasn't expecting the screen to move around, very very nice idea. All in all this was a great game.
Reviews for "Retron"
alright
it was alright. it was a very simple game, simple colours simple sound simple gameplay. the highscores list made it re-playable and worth playing.
The flaws
1.) The yellow circle thing that makes the screen explode doesnt give u any points, its more usefull to shoot the enemys rather than picking it up, so its kinda useless
2.) having a cap on how many lifes u can have is irritating, going through the game still with full lifes then picking up another doesnt do anything, u cant get over 3 lives. if your going to have the limit then maybe 100-200 points for every additional life u pick up when ur at max lifes needs to be added.
3.) when the screen is tilted upside down the controls should switch, having right as left and left as right caught me out everytime, the controls should invert with the screen becuase it becomes almost impossible to come out of that period of the game with a decent life count.
Good game

1.) You get 50 points instantly.
2.) I like it this way.
3.) This removes all the purpose the screen rotating/moving has.
Thanks for the 8 =)
Somewhat Innovative
Well the "hard" part came like 2 secs in the game so the art of surprise was ruined. On other hand, the flipping screen technique was pretty cool and seldomly seen, so I'll give a point for creativity although it gets repetitive pretty quickly after you get adjusted to the rotations. IMO, this game could of improved in the gameplay department. On a random note, I feel sorry for PCs that suffer from lag as this game will get very tedious. Anyways, it's good if you want to kill time
vector sb?
Isnt the your ship a-splode from homestarrunner? the sb zone game? anyway fun game.
Kenney responds:
Yes, it's a tribute to that.
Very cool.
Nice touch, the spinny and flippy screen, but not quite original. Have you seen The Game of Disoriantation? It's almost exactly like this, but its not a shooter. Anyway, cool game, it's awesome.
Kenney responds:
I've seen the game after finishing, alot of people pointed me to it. I like that game but it didn't gave me inspiration for this one.
