the aiming is horrible
Reviews for "LToE"
Well, this wasn't fun.
Reasons:
- game consisted of a chore of trying to get enough experience for next level. Except upgrades are too weak to give player feeling they are accomplishing anything, getting more powerful or making any progress. Basic difficulty of the game - being able to shoot (on autofire, so even without choosing *when*) only single bullet, with huge cooldown, and improbable aiming due to weird controls (was it hard to go with Asteroids scheme?) , and dying in one hit, is never nullified by any of the genes (except faster gunfire). You can't upgrade damage you deal, your hitpoints, amount of projectiles you emit, accuracy - you aren't really getting adjusted to your environment, which kinda defeats the idea of "evolution". Your accuracy is nil, so bigger or faster bullets won't help much - visibly increasing fire rate, allowing more bullets at once, manual aiming or homing bullets or just increasing damage could counteract this - but we get oversimplified boring linear upgrades instead. Bad graphics (it doesn't fit minimum to call them "minimalistic") and nearly nonexistent annoying sound are just final nail to the coffin.
I urge the author to play DN8 to see a GOOD shoot'em up with "evolution" theme.
