"It gets hard."
But, no, it did not.
And the survival mode is just an endless game of collecting stars.
Got 505 stars and got bored..
Good game though.
Reviews for "Element Balls"
Cool! Thought I’d hate it at first, but it’s fun and rewarding. The music is fitting, although the beat started to annoy me after some time. I liked the variety in enemy balls and their effects, which also were visually pleasing and in sync with the mellow and spacey music (again: the beat is unfortunate).
Downsides: it never really gets hard. It’s easy to implement a little strategy: not picking up stars too fast and biding your time until most balls destroy each other make most levels very easy, especially with high health regeneration. This is a little risky when a large amount of big balls is involved, but that happened to me only once. I think a countdown timer or time penalty could be a great way to force the player to combine strategy with risk-taking. This would require a bit more skill and make the game a little harder, and this is just what it needs, because the upgrades, though welcomed, are easy to receive and you’re never really dying for one as the upgrades continuously keep you too strong or efficient to be bothered much by the enemy balls.
Also, I didn’t see a point in the water resistance upgrade. I don’t think that ever affected me.
All in all: cool and highly enjoyable game, but a tad too easy and too short.
this game is really good, but the mouse synchrony it is not so good and the music is kinda repetitive.
Just a couple things that bugged me while playing: the random respawn upon dying sometimes leads to automatic level failure since you just keep getting in the trail of sunballz, a small invulnerability time would help finding the ball and get a grip on it before being squished.
Oh, and around level 14 you state "it gets hard" right after the small balls swarm, where it was already damn hard (i still can't get gold on lvl 11 'cos that swarm keeps pushing me into suntrail so hard it's not even funny anymore). Being those immortal they get to a point where it just gets about luck, maybe reduce their number or their force against you? Anyway it works fine and stuff, a nice ten minutes waster
Nice idea but I think it could work better without gravity. And the graphics of course...
