Fantastic game. Mixes several well explored elements in a slightly different way. An arena shooter with an engrossing storyline the likes of which you don't see every year. The voice acting, while fantastic, was altered in a way that grates on my nerves but that was an aesthetic decision that I think was probably necessary anyway. The basic play mechanics and upgrade system are uninspired but well executed (though player hit detection seems a bit off) and the last boss is surprising, fitting, and just plain fun all at once. A bit too easy perhaps, and a tad shortish but it does what it does perfectly. Where'd that sixth star run off to?
Great game, +5. Eats my mouse cursor so I can't do anything else even when the game is paused. -2. Sadly, a single poor design choice relegates this to a mediocre 3/5 :(
Would be worth 5 stars if it wasn't full of bugs, had a working pause function, and wasn't an unannounced DEMO. Play 2/3 of the game (bait) then get forwarded to the purchase page (switch). Lame scam.
As has been said, it needs a save option. It'd also be nicec to highlight the commands in the list as they're executed. Pretty basic debugging function. Otherwise, fantastic. Makes my real programming problems feel complicated though :P
5/5
