Reviews for They Came From Nam

Too hard.

The biggest set back in the game is the difficulty (at least for me.) The way the game showed the concept given is great, funny, absurd but the difficulty hinders it. I wouldn't mind how hard the game is if it had more powerups rather than just the normal charge bar, i found myself charging every other time (not including the stealth planes.) The way the life bar was shown is very creative (by the flame coming out of the giraffe to show the anger he has) the story was creative along with some of the content but the difficulty just threw me off.

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to judge difficulty if you've played your game 50000 times... (But NonPlusUltra managed to beat it with no deaths)

What?!

Woah, this is definitly the most random game that I have ever played for the NG Game Jams. I had to continually spit out fireballs (I think?) to get rid of the papers coming towards me. Even if I avoided them, they still came to me before they left the screen! Maybe you could just let them go, okay? Anyway, what was cool was that it was a pretty original idea, I mean who would ever think of a game where a giraffe was papercutted to death? I think this might have originally had the name "Giraffe".

The graphics are decent but the main problem is that it is just too dang hard! I fire my weapons at these papers and even the smallest ones take forever to kill! I do always look for uniqueness and you definitley delivered in that sense. It was nice to have so many people working on this. I have not heard of most of them, but you should always give anyone a try.

Try charging after every shot.

Boom !!! 3 Medals

I dont know what went wrong here.
I press a play button.
Game start and then they skip randomly.
This game end in 5 sec.
After that I just got 3 medals without playing haha :P

Once I refresh,all seem normal except its a little lag and I've got medals.
This game just in the "alright" score for me.
I think because "Pixel-arts" style, its hard to see the level.
Your rapid shot too weak. Even on a 1st level enemy wont down after about 3-5 rapid shot.
That made this game too difficult for me.

PS.sorry for my bad English :)

thinking-man responds:

Charge shots are crucial against all enemies.
ALSO: Update your flash player.
