Dying Sound
Edit that dying sound, it's ear piercing and way above 0DB.
Reviews for "Game: Critical Mass"
Very nice.
Good scoring system, steady increase in difficulty. I would like to be able to move faster, though. Perhaps you should also have a powerup that increases your blast radius. Perhaps it could be unlocked by getting a higher score. Once that's unlocked, it will easier to get even higher scores, to unlock more powerups. And I know it's arcade-style, but you should have a mode where you can stack your powerups indefinitely. It's a really good game, but more options and play modes are needed to carry this over the top and give it serious replay value.
Great job so far though. :D
Grendelio responds:
I´ll think about adding those extras for a sequel. Maybe a "turbo" mode when You press Space, and possibility of buying powerups between levels.
Thanks!
Simple fun
The game overall was VERY simple. But this is not that bad. The simpleness kept me playing for hours (well, 1 hour but still) there are just a few things that I would improve: 1) Make more modes like *stops to play* endurance and one where you try to make the biggest chain possible.
2) More power ups like a destroy all enemies power
3) And finally, the snake style movement was good but it stuffed me up sometimes. Make diagonal movement possible.
Now for things that you should keep in the game. There is just one thing: the simpleness of it.
Hope this helps!
dementos :D
Grendelio responds:
Game modes and more powerups is a good idea, but I don´t agree with a "destroy all enemies" powerup -could make the game too easy.
nice
however, if u do a sequel, it would be nice if u couldnt just move up/down left/right
but also up/left down/right and so on....
and it would be cool too if the neutrons (were those neutrons) were flying over the screen in all directions and not just up/down left/right.
otherwise good game
Grendelio responds:
Thanks for your ideas!
nice,
this is a funny game where you can try and improve your hiscore! I don't like the fact that you hear a loud noise when you die, and that you only have one life (at least, at the beginning). I would realy like to see a hiscore list, and maybe some more levels, with different looks (background), and different enemies. If you'd do that it would score much better I think. Good luck, because this game really has potential to grow big!
Grendelio responds:
Levels, enemies and backgrounds will be added in a sequel.
About de "dead" noise, it seems that it needs some polishing... I´ll check that.
There is a "scores" button in the main menu.
Thanks!
