Nice Time-Killer
Definetly it's a very colourful game.
It's not too hard, you easaly could get money.
The only thing I have to mention is the Boss of the Bosses.
There is nothing speacial about him. He is as hard as the others.
Maybe he could transform or something.
super easy
I like the concept and the execution but the bombs made this game super easy. After I had killed the second boss, I had all the upgrades except the extra ship weapon upgrades. And I didn't farm the first boss for more than maybe 5 times.
I see a comment that says "stupidly hard", lol :). Here's few tips: upgrade the money gain first, then upgrade the bombs. With 50$ per bomb, and 4 bombs, it will be smooth sailing from there on.
The bomb has a huge range when upgraded (covering nearly whole screen), and lasts for a long time (when upgraded). After getting the upgrades each boss was; activate bomb, keep shooting the boss, first bomb cools off and you have taken like half of the boss hp, activate second bomb and repeat and the boss dies without you taking a single hit since the bomb destroys all enemy projectiles. With bombs costing 50$, you will have 4 bombs every round even if you die in the first 5 seconds (which is impossible if you use the bombs).
So yeah overall I like the game idea, but the bombs being mega powerful, the experience was ruined for me.
....
This game is stupidly hard, with the money initially given, why not just start with all the buyable abilities ?
I would love to say i tried again... only the new game feature is broken. Won't let me just start over and try again with a better strategy to it.
And i found the music annoying beyond belief after a while.
Bullet hell -
- is the usual term for this sort of game. Essentially you have to dodge an idiotic number of projectiles, which is actually easier with a mouse than with a control pad - but here you have a cripplingly slow main gun which takes forever to whittle away at a boss' health; luckily it fires on its own, there's no way you could pay attention to shooting while making the tiny adjustments to squeeze through the 9,000 projectiles on screen at any given time. There's literally only one strategy that works: upgrade your bombs, then fire them off one by one and hope they do enough damage to stop the boss, since your main gun is essentially worthless. Boring, repetitious and any sense of reward dropping a boss may give you is stolen by the simplistic strategy and the fact that it is nothing BUT bosses.
