[:the game:]

Odd

Tell you what - I didn't like this when I started playing, but then I found I couldn't stop - Really enjoyed it by the end :)

[SeppuKuties]

Cool

Loved it - Got an A on all worlds and that's good enough for me - screw trying to get through it with only 5 deaths! I liked the puzzle one that was easy if you killed yourself, but tricky to work out when to collect the 3 red keys - spent some time on that one :)

[Karoshi:Suicide Salaryman]

hah

That was cool - the bizarre levels towards the end were great too.

[TheHeist]

hmm

This would be really fun if the idea was just to cause as much damage as possible, and it'd be easy to do it too - however, it's just made frustratingly hard by penalising you so much for damage to other cars, EVEN IF the police cause the damage... I'd find myself driving along and my cash draining rapidly through no fault of my own. These things just need a bit of attention then it'd be great, as most of the aspects beyond the driving and crashing are frustrating or pointless.

[Straw Hat Samurai]

nice

I enjoyed that once i got used to the controls. Really liked the idea of a strategy mode too.

Really don't understand how I managed to kill the last guy though!

[The Language Gauntlet]

am grammar good

Interesting and informative - good stuff

[Atomik Kaos]

Pretty good

You managed to make this game really satisfying when you got a result. The missions where you had to avoid the certain atoms were challenging but not impossible, but the mission mode really just seemed like an introduction to the game's most entertaining aspect - endless mode.

I'm interested to see what you come up with next.

VortixGamesStudio responds:

Thanks. Originally there was no endless mode, but we wanted to enhance the replay factor. As soon as endless mode was tested, it became obvious that normal mode was more of a preparation for it, which is good on one hand and a bit nasty on the other since most work was on normal mode.

We are working on two separate games and as usual, NG gets them quickly. :)

dammit

i didn't MEAN to shoot the pig...

was ok - a bit annoying at some points but good fun all the way down... not so much back up

[Z-Rox]

that was ace

I got very addicted to this one... Finally completed it after drawing out quite a few of em! Got really stuck on 59 and 84... like for an hour each... had to draw them and just keep glancing at them between daily activities! 84 I was really stabbing in the dark by the end but got it! Last few were pretty easy but I guess it's one of those games where for one person a question is really hard, but really easy for another, so I'm not surprised that lots of people are stuck early on... other than the ones who haven't read the instructions hehe...

Going to do the extra game modes now hehe - the sense of achievement when you finish the main game makes the frustration and concentration well worth it, so thanks!

Music etc was ace too.

I don't give a 10 very often but this is well deserved. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Glad it concluded

This was great - the controls, whilst sometimes a little frustrating, added some style and originality, and I loved the rotation of the playing field when you were in space depending on which planet you were near.

The puzzles themselves were all pretty obvious and easy, minus some of the control frustrations!

I think the music was pretty good, could have been a bit better i guess but brilliant that it changed depending on your surroundings.

It was really really depressing though - I get that his 'troubles and fears' were all over the place, but why didn't these get resolved when the planets changed? They were all just as miserable!

Will definitely play the sequel - keep up the good work n' all that!
