Dega Madness

If this was his first game, there's some good points and some bad points. The graphics are pretty nice with relatively unique designs, the gameplay is okay, every ability is varied and gives some spice, but near the end the gameplay is shockingly hard, but not necessarily due to the progressive challenge. I died a few times because my character was too slow to actually move out of the way of the Dega. Sound is pretty good, but more than one track would be nice. Menu's need work, being unable to exit from the main screen is really weird, needs to be fixed. Not bad for what it is.

To be perfectly blunt, this game is disappointing. I made it to the last level (which I will get to later) in about 15 minutes flat. Each level consists of getting a vehicle of some kind from one end of a ~100m platform to the other without making contact with any of the completely similar and totally random enemies. The music is bland as well, and I'm pretty sure there's only one track. The real problem with this game though is that each vehicle can use its ability only once, which sucks. Also, inexplicably, certain of the later vehicles move slow as molassas. So what you're left with is a game that you want to be fun, and fast paced, but you're left with slow enemies, and even slower player characters, in one short, bland level. This feels like a game jam game or school project and it doesn't seem fair to charge/pay money for it. To the developer: you've got some cool ideas. But when someone's excited about using a new vehicle/ability in a game (esp. yourself as the developer) they want to use it in a challenging context, where they can move quickly and defend themselves, and ideally with dynamic, challenging enemies.
