It lagged for mw... what can I say... I got to the second wave of units before I decided to quit...
Ok, I give yoiu an 9 based on the obvious work unvolved in rendering such a game. I do believe there is more fun to have than I did, but until then... I'm going to plkay paper mario...
9/10 if only because all the units looked alike (and it wasn't designed for lower end systems)? Nah....
9/10 because teh_pwnerer happened not to be able to play this at the time...
Noob!
(post scriptum.... there was obviously a lot of work put into this game, it looked and played beautiful "enough" for my thumbs up :)
We need more people like you in the gaming world!
I would like to see you tackle a "house of the dead" style game... it seems ;to be a naturral evolution from what you've already done.
I want constantly dynamic camera angles, secret level(S!), REPLAYABILITY!!, enticing graphics, speed (which is to say, don't suck ballz at progrmming) , and some sort of semblance of a responce to your updated version!
I make or break you... why don't you respond to me? :)
Happy thumbing ;)
Gotterdammerung.

As bright and beautiful as the game was... it really didn't interest me...
I just bought a wii light gun.. whatever the hell it's called that comes with Zelda target practice...
Duck hunt is to this game, as Zelda Target Practice is to MAH BALLZ! :P
It's really not at all entertaining... there are no graphics/sounds when you "catch" a butterfl\y, and in the first two levels (before I completely lost interest in favor of porn) there are no power ups etc to make the game more interesting than it initially is(n't).
Add some power ups (mini-gun? aggressive shield?..... a big, fat, BOSS (with beautiful white shading [as are most wii bosses])... this would definitely add... well... a helluva lot more to this game.
This looks like a very pretty, and surely sound, !!!BETA!!!, but absolutely nothing more.

"Guess what... you remind me of MAH BALLS!!!"
I was one of those people... I know... shame shame double shame.
I would call all the closest Wal-Marts (about 5 at a crack) asking the same two questions: "Do you have any Wiis"?
and... inevitability...
"When will the next shipment be in"??!?
I had the conviction to do this at least once a week. Memorized the touch tone pass to speak directly to the electronics department even (1-3-1, here anyway).
It gets worse... could you believe that my job as a courier once involved delivering 8 Wiis to a store? I was so close to nabbing them all for myself and quitting my $21.00+ / hour job! No joking! I could have sold the other 7 for $500 a pop EASY (this was about 6 months after the release/6 months of being sold out).
... Ok... so... EXACTLY one week ago I decided "fuck it", I'm going to buy (the recently priced at $200 X-box 360)... mod it, maybe buy the latest COG for online, and enjor some amazing 1080p graphics on my 15 foot projector for a measly couple bills...........
and leave my dreams of owning a Wii for the future...
I kid you not... when I walked into that electronics cubby hole in Wal-mart... they had MANY Wii consoles in stock!!! I mean... they had about TEN!!! DUDE!!!
After more than a year of dilligent seeking... I am composing this entire message on my brand SPANKIN new Nintendo Wii!!!!!!!
I appreciated (more than you'll ever know) the acknowledgment of the battle facing Wii seekers everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!\\\
Yes, I spent about half an hour hammering out this fucking response by pointing to the "qwerty" keyboard letters on my screen... it's a burden of love...
BTW... Super Mario Galaxy rapes/raped every other SMB ever made, Wii sports (espicially the boxing) is the pwnerer of sports titles (second only to Super Punch Out, on the good 'ol SNES).
Please!... go check out
www.purepwnage.com to see the ABSOLUTE BEST show about gamers (yuo remnd me of GHEY!!!). Also... keep seekin out those Wii's... they done ROCKED the Cas-bah!!

Simple game with nothing really new. Can't have expected more than a 5 could you?
Some good music might have helped

I could write a mile long response... but I didn't think that much about this game.
At first, it pleased me immensely, but around round (is there a round counter?), I grew tired.
The nukes, in fact all of the units, need to have a benefit to upgrade. As far as I could tell, upgrading a nuke tank for it's initial cost of 200 gave me twice the damage and nothing else... which means, just buy another nuke tank and you'll be better off. Maybe there are some variables at work that weren't displayed, if so, display them. Otherwise, make it more advantageous to upgrade the tanks.
10 minutes of pure entertainment, 5 minutes of so-so =

I see what you mean. Towers should of upgraded to be 2.2x better or so. Thanks for the suggestion!

"I only gave a non-blamming score because..."
Actually.. let's start at the beginning. I started by moving left, got some pearls, hit an air bubble, then ventured into the whale territory (complete darkness). Now... and I express HOW!... anybody with two firing neurons would think that "the great whale escape" would means that one should encounter and then flee from whales... eludes me (that's sarcasm for all you one neuron dupes). Apparently, you should move just far enough to the left to get some pearls, grab an air bubble, *bold* COMPLETELY AVOID WHALE TERRITORY* *unbold* then head to the right... it's ridiculous... It's like lightbot as far as the learning curve goes, except there's no sense as to what you should do to win (except what you've arbitrarily decided on, with no hint to us, the game players) and it takes 2 whole god damn minutes to figure out (by only trial and error) that we've fucked up.
I don't want to "figure out" your game... it should be at least a little intuitive. By which I mean it should be enjoyable by someone who uses their skill rather than their "knowledge" of what you decided a "win" would be.
I gave it a 2/5 because you do have some knowledge of flash, and probably spent more than 10 minutes putting this poorly thought out "game" together.
Give us some options (as to right or left), give us some levels (first 5, then 10, then sharks and 20, then sharks whales and 20, then sharks whales and 35... etc.) and I'd be happy to give this a much higher score... probably a 7.
Anyway, don't give up. You certainly have the flash skills to do much better than this! Looking forward to your next submission.
Author's Response:
i do appreciate your comments... but at the beginning of the game it say to "collect pearls"
to win all you need to do is collect the pearls. if you wonder around too much the whale will eat you ... thus you failed to escape.
i made the sides dark because i thought people would not venture to far into whale zone. seeing how the object is to avoid the whale.

Which means either you're on psychedelic drugs and truly believe that what you're doing is of great significance, or you're smart enough to act dumb (there was some cognizance now and then). Either way, wildly entertaining! Go drop some/or think up some, MORE of this :)
PS: I didn't get the battletoads reference... shed some light? I really am curious.

I just thought I would do some "teaser reference marketing".
I thought the "pause beat" would ring a bell to you!

Eminem, mediocre graphics, LEVELS!!, and absolutely satisfying controls...
So... this is a game I would certainly play for at least 15 minutes, right out of the cages... however... on level two I fell (slowly) iinto what was a bottomless pit with no restart or option to restart.
Complete noob mistake my friend. The game is solid enough to earn at least a 3.5, but every time I want to retry I have to exit and reload the game! Argh!!
Make a quick update, then resubmit so I can give you an 8.

But not with fucking cheeseburgers (fatty fillers)... at least, not all the time.
Speaking to the metaphor... keep changing the way you think, = feeding it. Drugs are a sure fire way to make this happen. If you've ever done drugs, remember how that felt and try to replicate the "newness" of the sensation. It's the only definition of intelligence people... new, better, faster, smarter, stronger... If you're humble enough to admit that you aren't the God damn "I" of all existance, then you're humble enough to think, then jump back and think again differently. It's like evolution without having to be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, if not tens, hundreds, billions of millions of organisms living, fucking, and dieing.
Show your brain a little respect and feed it now and then.
BTW.. Great video! Nixon was definitely the correct face (for those old enough to understand his effect on law / his dishonorable exit from presidency). Not that the two have anything in common... hmm... chew on that!!
The meaning of life: "Feed it until it's satisfying, then dive into what you've worked for (without feeding, for awhile), lather, rinse, repeat". First person to "brahma" get's a gold star and everlasting peace and tranquility :)
Thanks for submitting this :)

I highly recommend drinking pomegranate juice and jogging daily preferably first thing in the morning. What the brain needs is oxygen. What the brain desires is a cheeseburger. Only then when we understand this will we avoid disgrace. Keep it real!

display of 3-d graphics programming. Far better than I could even fathom to understand right now. And extra bonus points for resembling my old lover "Quake 3 Arena Demo" :)
The control was very frustrating. It should be tightened up quite a bit.
Maybe some levels? First kill 10 (choose a weapon), then 20 (choose another weapon), then 50 (choose a third) etc. If you were to go this route, a way to heal should be included.
Anyway, as much as I feel this game is lacking, I still feel obligated to beat my score of 35. Go make an update!!!
