This game doesn\'t seem to work properly. I get to fire a slingshot a few times. The balls have a mind of their own, and I can\'t work out what effect I can have on them. After a while, the screen floods with boxes, and the game locks up.

Overall: 2. Looks as if it could be a nice idea, but it just doesn\'t work.
Artistic: 1. I saw no dialogue or world domination. The slingshot does look fairly nice, but the rest is very basic vector code and doesn\'t look polished at all.
Technical: 2. I haven\'t checked if atan2 was used and where, but I did like the way the slingshot adjusts to the mouse position. That said, since nothing works properly, I can\'t give more than 2.
Genre: 1. I couldn\'t see any destruction.

In the future, I would recommend packaging the game up with a readme explaining what it\'s supposed to do and what any known issues are. Given such documentation, we can award points on merit if we think it was darn ambitious and deserves points anyway, and we\'ll have a better idea of whether it\'s broken everywhere or whether it might be some portability issue or cosmic ray influence that\'s stopping it working.

Scores: Overall 2 Artistical 1 Technical 2 Genre 1

Okay, so in this little game you shoot balls from a slingshot at floating squares. When the balls hit the squares they bounce about in what seems to me like a physically correct way. After playing a while the game seems to freeze, at least on my computer.

Not much to say about the game gameplay wise, since it isn\'t finished. The slingshot works well however, it looks smooth and aming with the mouse works well.

Scores: Overall 2 Artistical 2 Technical 3 Genre 1
