Not Ready for Primetime - Version: 1.1, 8/19/2005 11:08AM PST

This needs lots of work, mostly on interface and graphics. On a large monitor, this game is just one level above unplayable.

It's not all that bad. I can see some potential. Though the graphics are a bit crude. The screen is too small and should allow for full screen so your cursor can't jump out of the window.
It shows some potential, and could be fun with some more development. Make it smoother, give us more screen to work with and incraease the quality of the graphics and people might buy it.

Interesting little game with a simple premise and even simpler controls. The graphics are not the greatest but in any game it is the game play that makes or breaks it.
This is were the problem is. If you use the mouse to control your guns it is like the gunner just overdosed on meth and you will find it hard to hit much besides the building you are not supposed to hit or you will split your time between the top and bottom of the screen.
Of course you could use your cursor keys but now your gunner is on morphine and can't keep up with the incoming enemies.
This made the most satisfying key to hit the escape key so I could move the program to the trash. The person is also trying to sell the program, which I don't think it is ready at this point. I would like to see the control problem fixed and a display as the shows damage to the surroundings that will cost you the game, right now this just seems arbitrary.
