Pretty good
I've played a lot of RTS games, but out of all the browser ones this one was probably the most fun. For those of you complaining about not being able to make Tetrominers, you just have to get past the first few levels which are just tutorials. The units were well designed although sometimes moved a little slow, especially the frogs!
High production values, but some gameplay flaws
I don't like RTS, so I'm upping the score a point to compensate for my bias.
I agree with the previous review that you should be able to build more energy harvesters. Maybe you can later, I don't know... I only played 4 levels.
There needs to be a mini-map! How are you supposed to keep track of all your units without that?
The units' form should follow function, even for the retro pieces. Why is the energy harvester a tetris piece? Why are the smiley's your grunts? Why does the frog repair stuff? Surely you can find classic gaming references that actually relate to the units' in game functions...
The music is kind of annoying, and I hate being harassed to sign up for the contest after every single level... but as a game dev, I understand the latter. Gotta make money somehow, since no one wants to pay directly for a Flash game, no matter how much development time went into it.
Urgh...
FATAL FLAW ALERT:
You can't make more Tetrominers! SUCK. How are you supposed to get more money if you can't make Tetrominers?
Also, power packs should NOT, and I repeat, NOT take power to build. Why should they? All RTS games must allow you to build your force from scratch. All of them.
You should be able to make power packs without power, make more tetrominers, and there must be a building and unit tree. There should never be an impassible divide in your climb to power in an RTS game. You should be able to start over completely if you ever have to. There should not be an unbuildable requiem for your army. No units that are required to win should ever be impossible to build in any way, case, or time.
On the plus side, the game was rather fun, the sound was great, but due to all the things that this game lacks that should be in RTS games, I give it a 5/10.
Great Concept
Great game but could use a little work on the button configuration.
awesome
great game.thats all i have to say.
