Balloon Town
I've played this game on belugerinstudios yesterday, this is constructive summary:
Pros:
- Rather than your previous game, this one is offer new concept, the game mechanic is pretty simple and easy to learn, and I like how you mustn't click each balloons to commanding them, with category click each jobs type, you decrease the number of click in this game and not rush it.
- The in-game tutorials are step by step and action based system, it's different than any other your games that only non-action based system and even with no in-game tutorials.
- The in-game art is decent, it's not as good as Age of Kingdoms' art, but the user interface and cover is better one.
- The game music is from Kevin MacLeod, it suit well with the theme of game.
- Well balance, at least it easy in early level, and harder in advance level.
Cons:
- Bad balloons are still too weak, a good balloon can defeat it with two or three hits.
- Architects, Doctors and Soldiers only useful for objectives only, I though they can works as miner does, but i was wrong, i would happy if doctor can cure the illness ballons or architects can repair the damaged buildings.
- At the 26 level or above, if the population more than 200 balloons, it's little lag, i don't know how it perform on another computer.
- The levels need some variety of challenge, not just only breeds and works.
- Building upgrades only available at level 26 or above (total 30 levels), for all upgrades fanatic, it not fulfill they meets, you should make the upgrade since the first level, and balloon upgrades also good for additions.
Suggestion:
If you want to make a sequels, please make it more different jobs and jobs need to seen clearly, and make it more longer, put sandbox mode, and even level editor.
Overall:
It's still good game, I was pleased to see balloons fly and smile to me, despite the some flaws, this game is offer good experience of gameplay that I've never seen before in NG, good job and keep it up!
5/5, 9/10 minus one point for some flaws.
