Alien Survivor Review
By Reaper99990 on

Pros: Increasing difficulty, nice 'movie'...
Cons: Unevolving gameplay, no sense of depth.
Unfinished
Felt like an unfinished game. No challenge, no goal to playing it.
The best part of the game was the bombers. but this was not even from the creator (@lpha-X ). Without those 3-d, nice and realistic explosions, a star would have been added to the graphics rating. Everything was pixelly and flat, but the explosion looked real and 3-dimensional. That gradient in the sand made me realize the characters were not floating, but a shadow would have helped much. The main character has it's feet moving up and down, showing it's walking. But what about enemies? Maybe they had rollerblades but I haven't seen any.
The music was nice. But what about that cannon shooting? And those explosions? Maybe we're on a different where there is no air so nothing to transmit the sound but there is no story to tell it. Only the title 'Alien Survivor'. Where is he surviving? What happened to the other aliens? A plague? I got no idea where I am shooting those guys, when I am dodging those explosions nor WHY I am doing all this stuff.
All you can do is shoot left and right. And the bullets overlap each other. I would have prefered less ennemies and a timer between each shot, but that's just me though. I always had the reflex to press the up key to jump for dodging those enemies' bullets.
Now the worst thing. No score. No time. No levels nothing. I can't tell my friend where i got in the game and compare since I have nothing to base my record on.
If the beginning is boring, and everybody knows it, why not make it interesting?
That's all I hope it helps. Just worth playing once to see those sick planes. But that's all. 2/5 congrats.

And how can I make beginning interesting? Did you played, hmmm, e.g. Death Worm or 2Dcube's Leviathan? Both beginnings are boring.
