Good graphics. But!
I was disappointed when I saw Custom Game, thought this was gonna like campaign or with missions or something. Nice graphics though.
Reviews for "Ether: Space Defense"
disappointing, but potential on a cool idea
I like it. mostly. Like others, a zoom out would great. otherwise, it feels claustrophobic for an outer space gamer. The idea of earning credits towards a custom game defeats the purpose of playing a game at all for me. If i can't get through the game as is on a level by level basis where i learn to negotiate the increasing difficulty as it is introduced, i can only imagine how easy the game will be after i've finally purchased everything (but only after playing the first four levels about ten times, and the the first 6 levels about ten more times, and maybe i'll then have to play the first 8 levels about ten times). Basically, i'm very skeptical about the earning system and having to accept that the game is based on failure. Such a set up is just that: it creates the whole "pumping quarters" phenomena that arcade game developers were doing through the 80's and 90's -- i think it is a cheap tactic.
Meh
could've been better
Terrible.
First few minutes was fun. Rest of the time I was wondering why I died in the 3rd level. Too difficult. Not much control in view, having to move around and whatnot.
good but not awesome
50% good
