not special
i recommend sticking to the effing worms game because it had more sense

"Try Again" with the same amount of money
I like games like this though I have a problem with the upgrading. This may make it easy but perhaps you can find middle ground... retrying a level you died in with the same amount of money is frustrating.
it's like, i need to upgrade things in a certain succession or i'm going to be screwed for the rest of the game. it really felt like a puzzle game, like 'ok if i get this THEN this, i can definitely beat the next boss."
BUT this was the problem. If I get semi-far in the game, buy some upgrades and the next wave didn't have enough $$ for a new one, I'd go in, new machine appears and unfortunately my new upgrades didn't help. now i die, and i can't buy anything new to help me for this wave that the game brings me back to every time i hit "try again." no money and shitload of new machines, I'm screwed and have to restart the whole game.
Another vote for 'Matix'
The good: upgrades are fairly easy to obtain
The bad: after a few levels, you arent really aiming anymore, just firing into the melee.
The ugly: cmon. No originality at all. You may have well referenced the Matrix in your title, or even named the game 'The Matrikz' or some other clever pun. Its ok to glean ideas from others sources.....but this is pretty much lifted directly from the movie.
Although its a worn out concept (shoot, buy upgrades, shoot, repeat) I think the easy upgrades make it a little more tolerable to play.
Smells like someone watched Matrix Revolutions
This is probably the best thing to come from the Matrix sequels.
Joking aside, I really like this- it's simple and a lot of fun.
Cool
For some reason I felt like I was killing sperm though....might want to change the machines design a bit.
