Reviews for "Snipedown"

Godlike?

The starts off great, upgrades are great and come steadily. But once You approach half this starts getting really old really quickly. I find the sniper rifle the best weapon as even with fully upgraded cannons they do little to the large tanks and shooting them 7 or 8 times with the rifle gets very boring. Even the large bomb and air strike is of little use in the later waves.

Verry good!!

I like it!

Not bad

Challenging, in particular in that the use of "tools" was absolutely necessary for winning through, relying on automatic turrets and my own rifle just wasn't enough...
The rifle scope was annoying, though, hiding some of the battlefield with no option to get it down. Animation could also be improved. The "new upgrade available" is a great idea, but maybe should light up something rather than an irritating blink - especially when it's just that I can buy a cheap turret when I already have much better ones...
All in all, enjoyable.

welllll i can say one thing...

it was fairly challenging and it was quite short even for an eilite sniper (like myself) that was kinda hard the tanks annoy you but the updates on the gun just makes it easy as pie but i enjoyed it and it deservs a sequel that is much longer and a tat more harder k loved it bye

Pretty cool

The combination of turret, snipes and the tools was pretty cool. I made the mistake of forgetting about the tools...it's kind of an odd name for them. Maybe something more like "Reinforcements" is appropiate, because the upgrade menu is rather misleading if you forget that they're called tools. It's like "hey, this reduces the recharge time on my tools...I guess it works for both turrets and my rifle!" It might seem more like the player's fault, but on the other hand, it's also easy to avoid.

The rifle blocks a lot of vision, which is annoying. Lots of sniper games have that, and it could be considered part of the difficulty, but I'd like to see upgrades to make it block much less vision.

The menus are annoying to call with the mouse because of the way the rifle cursor and the scrolling works. I suppose there's always the hotkeys I can use, but I can't help but think this could've gone better.

There was no real music, just war background sounds which get a bit annoying after a while. I prefer music. At least you included an option to turn them off.

Those tanks are a real pain in the ass without spamming your tools, and even then it takes several. I think that was the intention, though. :p I think that if you're playing a sniper game, and you can shoot the guy controling a vehicle, you should be able to eliminate it that way. It would make a lot of sense, and add strategy.

The airstrike seems like the worst tool to me. It's only useful if there's a lot of things in a row, but otherwise the other tools are so much better for focus firing.

Yeah, excuse the random arrangements of my thoughts. Despite all the tips/gripes/ideas/annoyances, I liked playing this a lot.
