Meh.
Looks like you put a fair amount of work into this game, but it's not really that great. I give an A for effort though. The worst problems I found were....
1) I was getting totally owned until I read the Author Comments and you said to upgrade the slingshot. The only upgrade that was actually worth getting was the slingshot, which I found once I fully upgraded, because it upgraded your damage. The other upgrades seemed to be mostly fluff. Well, I guess the barrier upgrade was worth it...
2) This is a much bigger one (not simply an "I wasn't satisfied" thing). Once I upgraded my Chance, I stopped receiving powerups altogether. Not sure if upgrading the chance did this, or if the powerups just stopped at some point during one of the earlier stages but I had to go about half the game without them.
Normally, I'd give this game a 3 out og 5. Giving it a 4 out of 5 because of the voice acting. While cheesy, you actually took the time to put it in there, which I think gave your game a bit more character. It was definitely upbeat.
Putting aside the whole, animal cruelty thing...
This game still has issues...
1: Every now and then, my launcher would auto use my cats as ammo, and would only stop when certain ammo spaces were freed up, but would proceed to auto use them again if i picked up any, if it helps i used the shortcut keys.
2: now, I admit, I am not the best gamer out there, but I spend most of my time immersed in one game or another and if I am having a great deal of trouble just trying to stay alive, I would say that this needs difficulty settings or a smoother difficulty curve.
3: attributes to 2, but the powerups are incredibly powerful(least the ones i saw were), and as such makes the player want to rely on them. I would balance this out with weaker more frequent ones or in some way replace them with more permanent upgrades. The reason being that no game, that's purpose is to have fun in a short amount of time, should heavily rely on luck, it's not like the average player is going to play a flash game of this style/caliber for weeks let alone days.
Those were the worst ones, but this game isn't all bad, it would appear that a great deal of effort was put forth and a good game was made, I will suggest though that beta testing a game would have probably weeded out all the previously mentioned problems...
So as a score, good graphics, great instructions(they were shown on diagram and were spoken), a good twist on game play, I will give a 7/10, 4/5. If you ever get around to changing or fixing this game, i would be more than happy to play it more.
I hope to see more and most importantly I hope this was a good learning experience for you. Good luck
And to the rest of you idiot reviewers, "If you are giving this submission a low score, please offer constructive criticism that will be useful to the artist." is a requirement to review. A review like "this is mean" or "this sucks" is NOT following this guideline and helps no one. It would be better for everyone if you took your childish, single minded comments else where as no one here cares for them.
Accomplished feeling!
EDIT 3 is the key, heed the wisdom of its words. And I beat the game with a touchpad; bonus points for me. Great game by the way.
Loved it
I'm actually a cat person, but i love the game, is kind of cute, keep the good work!
