it's a really fun game
got all the achievements, my only gripes are that the aiming system isn't that great and I wish you could toggle which powerups you wanted to use, by the time you max out the gift upgrades they do always drop, I just like some powerups better than others :).
the game
in ratchet in klank a crack in time this ft dude has a blaster an he says "my blaster runs hot"
Amazing!
I really liked... Pretty much everything about this game! It's simple but well made, the concept, the music, the graphics and all! Congratz, this might be one of the best christmas game this year!
Fun minigame
LOL xD i could've scored top10 all time. I broke it off cuz I got bored had 6 lives and 30k score ^^
Nice game, but becomes a bit repetitive. I lacked to be able to shoot in more directions, and a bigger variety of enemies. The weapons were nice and the upgrading system decent.
if you want to get the 15 levels without dying achievement you should probably save some hp upgrades for both you and the tree since you regen a lot when upgrading. When there are no upgrades left you're stuck with the hp drops off of the kids + regen after each level.
Great game all round.
I love this game the concept is original, the art is solid, the enemies are challenging, and the upgrades are worth while.
That said I have one fairly big issue with the controls.
Mrs. Claus can only shoot in exactly 8 directions this wouldn't be so bad if the enemies moved on a grid pattern ie: they only make 90 degree turns and the like.
This makes the mouse control kinda useless since you can't fire at what you pointing at since you often have large "blind spots" in your firing range unless you have the shotgun power up which makes up for this considerably but of course its limited use and most of the other power ups still suffer from the blind spots.
I truly think that once this little thing is fixed the game would a lot more fun to play especially at the higher levels.
