    "Great Game"

    April 16, 2009  |   By Manhunter098

    Version: Mono 1.02

    Pros

    Its a very fun game with a great arsenal of powerups. It takes strategy beyond simply shooting randomly at all the enemies. The graphics and the effects are very trippy and you can play your own music.

    Cons

    As a self proclaimed expert who has managed to make it to a maxumum of 95% this game is impossible to beat even on easy mode, in fact the only difference between modes is the speed at which the enemies start out when they first appear.

    Summary

    The game mechanics are not very clear. After a while playing though I have managed to figure them out.

    Basically every 10% that you fill will create an extra enemy. When the game reaches 50% when you are struck by enemy fire you loose a powerup level, you also loose a powerup level if you are struck by a full sized enemy. At 75% the powerups will begin to explode if you do not collect them.

    The strategy to doing the best in this game is to completely fill in only the corners first, so only destroy enemies in those areas until they are filled, by then you should be at around 30-40% completion. Furthermore by trailing behind the large enemies you can cause them to curve more sharply (this is aided by destroying more blue enemies, kill them anywhere you like on the screen when you are starting out). Also when starting out avoid destroying too many red enemies near the center of the screen.

    Make sure to keep your blaster from firing unless destroying a specific enemy in this stage to preserve the fully sized enemies so you can corner them.

    The optimal control for the game is to use the arrow or asdf keys to point your ship at the enemies and the mouse to move around, using the mouse to rotate your ship makes it difficult to control your position and focus on specific enemies, you will loose a lot faster if you use the mouse to aim.

    "So much eye candy, your eyes will get a stomachache."

    March 26, 2009  |   By brianbdm

    Version: Mono 1.02

    Pros

    It's such a colorful game, and such a brilliant idea!

    Cons

    The gameplay is rather monotonus, but the graphics more than make up for it.

    Summary

    In case you didn't notice, the colors of the blobs are Red Blue and Green. When you have Red Blue and Green light, you get white. Starting with a white background and adding red blue and green to your screen blends your colors together to get the white background.

    "Like being in a paintball fight...on acid"

    February 3, 2009  |   By CarolJWright

    Version: Mono 1.02

    Pros

    What a tri!!. Vivid colors, hyper music (might try changing it one day), and appropriate sound effects. Got to 67% after two days. Don't think I'll ever get to 100, cause at Easy level 67% is delightful chaos.

    Cons

    Not many instructions in the folder's html file. The action is furiously fast, so not much time to think and plan, just react and eventually figure it out. Like the color doesn't spray until the SMALLEST balls are destroyed.

    Summary

    Perhaps the WASD keys could be manually reconfigured. This is what points the direction of the gun nozzle Up, Down, Right, Left. Is there a way to determine how much of my playing piece is left? Is there a benefit from running over several stars in quick succession rather than staying with a satisfying bullet spray. Very nice game!!

    "Very Good Arcade Game"

    January 24, 2009  |   By wolby2001

    Version: Mono 1.02

    Pros

    Simpleeasy to use, controls are easy to get used to. Very Addictve.

    Cons

    A bit jumpy sometimes and a bit of a "messy" game.

    Summary

    A great simple and easy to use arcade game, the only drawback apart from the above mentioned con is the fact that the game becomes a little bit confusing, with several "baddies" also known as flying circles attacking your ship at once while your shooting bullets in every direction it is a little hard to follow. Excellent game and the Crazy Powerups make it all the much better
