Reviews for A Typical Wednesday

To Unforgiving to be any Fun

This game screams of something that has potential, but wasn't given enough time in the making to be even worth playing.

Its a simple concept of an arcade style-shooter, minus the fun plus the overpopulation in roughly less than 30 seconds. I gave it a total of 5 tries each time, but the game is a bit to RNG for my taste in the way they move and when/where they come in.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was an actual CHANCE at dodging all those enemies that enter around phase 3 (the blue orbs spitting bullets) but there is so much going on in a small space that you have a huge lack of maneuverability which kills your chances at living for a long period of time.

On top of that on being hit if your holding down a button to move you stop moving and have to hit it again to re-activate motion which is really the killer because that fraction of time you need to start moving again before being hit again is TREMENDOUSLY small and you have a precious few seconds of "immunity" before being hit again and then you just start your chain of deaths towards the end of the game.

I find something like that barrier nice, but it shouldn't be necessary to have to use it to actually play the game, because its an OSHI-- Button and this entire game is OSH-- after 25 seconds....

In short either make the playing field larger or have enemies spawn at a slower rate so there is an actual chance of living, even Gradius wasn't this hard... or maybe have it so we don't lose all our upgrade we scale back one death.

However, all of those changes would be required imo for it to appeal more than the uber-hardcore arcade shooter fans, and even then I doubt they got very far

sucks

i hate it

okay

now make it challenging via upgrades, lvls, achievements, and weapon types, but keep gameplay simple, then you might be able to call it a halfway decent shooter

Too much like galatica

this is just a rip off of an old arcade game with simpler graphics and being spammed with enemies, crappy music too.

Typical Wednesday meets Typical Bullet Hell

This game has absolutely nothing original to its name that really sets it apart from any other bullet hell game other than. Plus, you've purposely stacked as many odds against the player as possible making this game an extremely forgettable experience. I'd also like to note that your music track is annoying not for its repetitiveness, but for the fact that it's copyrighted music from another game... and if people wanted to hear it, they'd play the game that actually makes it relevant. I'm not going to deny that this game LOOKS impressive, but there are too many flaws and mistakes making it an overall unpleasant experience.

I normally wouldn't waste my time responding to pointless reviews like this, but as you have taken the time to do more than scream out your hate in one line of badly spelt text then I will.

98% of games have nothing "original" to their name if by original you mean never done before ever. Also I'm not sure how a game being difficult makes it forgettable. If they are your "flaws and mistakes" then you must have pretty high standards.

If you don't get the game then fair enough, its a niche title after all, but ask yourself if this game really deserves the 0 you gave it, if it did then I'd love to see your idea of a 10!
