As an actual arcade game, this was nothing special. However, I liked it for the mood and sense of psycho-drama. The "story" kept me interested enough to play through. This is reminiscent of an era when graphics and sound were not as important as story and mood. Nice job on this period piece.
Nice game, but it is soooo long and repetitive. You've taken the "throwing peasants" genre about as far as it can go, methinks. Alas, I don't have eighteen hours I'd care to spend winning it. Nice thought, though.
Very funny, polished game. A little better in-game explanations of what the various weapons do would be nice. And what armor does for you. And which birds have how much health and how much damage their poo does. And how you switch weapons, and so forth. It was rather underdocumented. Other than that it was fun.
My honest criticism: This game relies way too much on stamina management. There are places where you can fall and die, which is so 1980s. The graphics and sound are great. The effort put into wrapping the game into a humorous plot is laudable. The gameplay is responsive and feels crisp, and you even coded for customized controls, which gives you a huge thumbs up in my book. Unfortunately, I just don't find it that fun. Nice job on this though.
Oh my god, I'm trapped in the bathroom and my gun is under the sink! What should I do? Should I grab the gun, or--- no wait. I'll clog the toilet, flood all three basins, and OH JESUS HE'S IN HERE, I'M SO DEAD --- Oh thank god, he slipped and fell in the tub. Hey, here's a hair dryer. Let me plug it in and throw it in the tub--- No, wait a minute. I'll throw it into the sink. Why? Just because!! Oh yeah, my GUN. NOW I will grab my gun. BLAM BLAM. I win! (Hey, why should puzzle solutions make sense, right?)
You know what would be useful? An inventory filter. You acquire so many items in this game and it's so hard to keep track of them all. If you could sort and filter by item properties that would be awesome.
Oh, give me a break. The instructions failed to adequately stress that you lose ALL your equipment if you use the escape wings. So what are you supposed to do? Tough it out 9 levels and buy a health elixir? How do you heal? This needs to be made clear, otherwise I'll have to take the escape wings every few minutes.
Also, this isn't a criticism of the game, but the Challenge says "Level up and dive down deeper". Well, you don't level up at all. There's no XP bar of any sort. Did the people who wrote the challenge text *play* this game even once?? lol
Five words: HOLD BUTTON TO FIRE CONTINUOUSLY. Learn them. Repeat them. Got it? Good. Now, the next time you're designing a cutesy 2D trajectory shooter game, implement what you have just learned. I'm not getting carpal tunnel syndrome for you, buddy. Sorry.
I kept thinking "Ok, this level is very annoying, but I'll play through it so I can get to the FUN ones." Then I realized, this is all this game is. Huh. What a revelation.
Fun game. I'd have liked a little more incentive to keep the pain low, however. It wasn't clear what that really was all about. Also I would have preferred to have known up front what actions unlock what skins. It was sort of random and surprising when it happened, like a Japanese micro-game. I just grinned and said "I unlocked a cow skin? Sure, okay, great! Whatever! Woohoo!" This is a silly, but fun, use of a few minutes.
I wish it had been more clear that the Stores are only for selling an item. I accidentally sold my first skill scroll because I thought that's how you were supposed to "use" it. No way to reverse the transaction, either. Very weak. I also don't like that the quests vanish if you fail them. I would prefer to be able to work on my tactics, and hammer away at the quests until I beat them. That's how strategy games are supposed to work.
Great game. The badging is buggy, though. I got the 100 kill award in-game, but somehow I didn't get the 35 kill badge from Kongregate. I especially like the forgiving checkpoint system where you are not penalized for repeated deaths. Nice job.
Nearly every "Challenge" is purely luck-based. I mean, sure, you need to not aim like a moron, but even using the correct strategy, most of them come down to a matter of luck. That's a bit of a turnoff for me. If you took a million monkeys and gave them a million laptops, one would eventually win this game and beat every challenge. Having said that, the game is fun and addictive and does hold my attention. Nice job on the graphics, sound, and physics engine. One thing I would like to see is a "free ball mode", in which using a ton of balls doesn't penalize your ability to progress. This would be a big help in levels like 14, where you basically need a very precise "lob" in order to pass.
Nice game. I like the British humour and the quirky perk names and descriptions. The controls are right where I prefer them, but some keyboard customization options (set your own controls) would have been a nice touch for those who don't prefer WASD. Graphics and sound are decent. The difficulty level is average for an arcade-style shooter of this type. My biggest criticism is that earning enough gold to get yourself past certain "choke points" in the game is a bit too slow. Also, the ability to periodically re-pick your perks would be nice, since initially you don't really have a clue what does what. All in all, though, a decent game.
