Review by Timorg all reviews by Timorg

This game wasn\'t really clear on what you had to do, after reading the readme again, and thinking about it, it became clear that the builders wouldn\'t kill you if you touch them, and it made a heap more sense. I found the game quite slow paced, but it was functional, and when you slow down you cover a larger area with water. The game was quite well designed in that respect.

Overall: 3. The game played quite well, I just didn\'t find it that exciting.

Artistical: 3. The graphics were quite limited with the object sprites being a circle with a line in it designating direction of travel. The water and land effect was quite nice though.

Technical: 3. The code seems quite complicated, but atan2 is used quite a few times. It provides its own random number generator, so if I ever need one, I will know where to look.

Genre: 4. The game directly involves destruction of the world, which really does classify for world domination. The gameplay was also quite original, I hadn\'t seen it before.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 3 Technical 3 Genre 4

I quite enjoyed playing this game, it took some practice to be able to successfully destroy a headquarters and collect the bits that are released.

Overall: 4. I found it quite polished and I actually liked the graphical style, it was a nice touch rather than just have sprites scribbled up in paint. The game was quite fun to play, even if it was a little hard at 1st.

Artistic: 4. The art was rudimentary, but I quite liked it. Messages from the MAFIAA are displayed on the screen. The game is about defeating the world domination of the MAFIAA.

Technical: 3. The game engine appears quite solid and atan2 is used in the code. There is also quite a bit of code reuse.

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 4 Technical 4 Genre 3
