[Bloons Tower Defense 4]

awesomesauce

Well I have been playing it for a few days now and I just got to rank 31 so I figure it's time for a review.

The good:
-I like the upgrade system and specific targeting options. very awesome.
-Great replayability

The bad:
-Screen gets way too cluttered when you get to the higher levels. It would be nice if the turrets were a little smaller (just so the bloons and towers can't overlap)
-Major slowdown [at least on my laptop] at levels 70+
-The fast forward does almost nothing. I'd suggest increasing it to at least 3x so people can advance quickly
-I don't like not being able to access those bonus features. How about making them available at ranks 32+?
-There really should be more free tracks.

Tips:
-It's definitely possible to get to rank 31 without paying for it. The later levels on hard have a RBE of 10k+
-a few maximum-upgraded mortar towers in range of one of those booster towers are awesome.
-on medium and hard difficulties those money farms are very handy. invest as much as you can spare into them as soon as possible (after you unlock them).

In conclusion i'd like to say that this is one of the best TD games i've every played. I'll definitely come back for more every once in a while.

[Rise of Pirates]

Good concept, bad game.

A game like this could be epic if it were properly implemented. There are tons of problems with this one.

Bad interface, bad graphics, bad controls, bad upgrade system, market is too easy to exploit.

You get 8 stars because of it's potential for awesomeness.

[RedEye 1031]

3 minutes

This was only enjoyable for about 3 minutes. No variety and it's far too easy.

ups and downs

First of all i'd like to say that I played this game for over an hour and I tried very hard to like it.

There is only one major flaw, and that's with your control system. It would be SO much better if W was jump as well as Up. It would also be a massive improvement for fighting if the character was always facing the mouse.

I didn't even bother keeping track of how many times I had to repeat some sequences because of the poor controls that you have. I think that if this was fixed it would greatly increase the appeal of this game.

Getting stuck while going off of a ladder into a tunnel was also slightly irritating.

One more annoying thing was with the dynamite. I'd like it to be a little more obvious where the destructible blocks are. I'd also like a better targeting system for the dynamite because I wasted quite a few trying to get it right where I wanted it. Heck, that larger blast radius upgrade would be a great standard thing for the dynamite instead of an upgrade.

Anyways. Good game. I had fun. In the end I quit because I didn't feel like redoing some screens after I died. Taking a little more money and making a checkpoint on every screen would be nice.

Maybe if these improvements are made I will finish it.

fun fun

A good arena shooter. I've beaten it three times now.

It is possible to get all of the achievements on your first time through the game.

Big Bertha is fun to use. Very fun.

Only suggestion I offer is a level select and endurance modes available after getting all achievements and beating the game.

[Darkness - The Cage]

epic

Amazing game. I'd love to see a sequel with more levels.

[When Penguins Attack - TD]

less than the standard

I love TD games and I know them well. The only thing this one has going for it is nice graphics.

Flaws:
-Too damn easy. Halfway through a level I can just stop and watch. No mor need for new buildings.
-Not enough time to prepare at the beginning of the level
-Sometimes turrets just disappear and you can't build a new one in it's place.

[Box10 Rally]

eh, pretty standard

Just a very plan game. The sound effect in the menu got annoying real quick.

And how is it that the cars can drive through each other? Fix that.

And add more obstacles or something to add a little more variety to the tracks. It was all too easy.

[Kill The Spartan]

neat-o

I'd say about half of those animations were very well done. The others were just meh.

And the random voice clips from the movie pissed me off. They really weren't necessary.
