Graphics: The graphics in this game aren't that great. The reason I gave
it such a high score is that the semi-isometric view is pretty cool
looking and there are also a few neat enemies in this game. However,
most of the enemies look overdone and the color scheme is really bad.
There really isn't a lot of shading either.
Sound: This game's sound effects weren't that bad. They were usually
simple, but pretty nice. The music is just a little bit primitive. The music's
tunes can become really annoying, and the quality is low.
Gameplay: An interesting space shooter, kind of like a 3D Gradius. You play
as a spaceship and you are supposed to move across a level. There are some
pretty cool things about this game. Like you're supposed to find different
body parts lying on the ground so you can build up your machine a bit. There
are only about four powerups you can get, and they just add another blaster
that is a little different than your first blaster. Another interesting part
about this game is that there are two levels. There are holes on the top
and bottom levels that transport you to the other levels. Controls are
pretty good in this game too.
Hardness factor: It matters which path you take in this game. There are
different enemies on the different levels, but usually this game was kind
of easy. Whenever you get hit, you lose only one part of your body, so you'll
have about 4 hits until you die.
Overall: 5 out of 10. This game was pretty average. As far as spaceshooters
go, I don't think I'd really recommend it since it gets boring after a while.
