Rip & Tear

It's a short but still fun arcade style shooter. It can be very difficult, especially with the mechanic that requires you to stop all movement to shoot your guns. The sounds are great, with various effects every time you flip between phases. Also, it can be a bit tedious *Very Hard* if you want to unlock everything or get all the achievements, especially with the unbalancing of the upgrade wheel and the number of hordes that are on the screen. Overall, it's just a simple arena shooter to play when you have a little bit of time to kill, nothing special here. It will be better with a few patches.

An obvious scam and quick cash grab. Terrible game that could have potential if the developer fixed all the things that are wrong. 1: NO MENUS or Pause button at all. 2: No ability to zoom in to the screen (the field of vision is so far back.....top down isn't even the word to describe it....its like microscopic top down) so you end up with the enemies, hero, and everything else barely visible on the field. 3: The speed at which everything moves feels like someone set the speed to 20x faster. Despite the fact you can not see much of anything on the screen...you are able to see enemies and what looks to be the hero. They are literally zipping around uncontrollably ramming into each-other at break neck speeds. Why no normal speed? Playing it felt like I was in a day care with 50 two year olds, who had all just consumed 5 cups of sugar each. Pure mayhem. 4: For some reason, the guns dont work when you want them to....or maybe it is because you cant see them since everything is so small. But I found myself trying everything. From holding down the left mouse button, tapping it over and over, and then trying the suggested number keys (1 or 2) to swap weapons. Nothing worked other than a few bullets spitting out randomly. 5: The things the player CAN SEE are massive amounts of fire waves and tornadoes, and other un-natural disasters....relentlessly bombarding the hero 1 second into game play. That means, even if the game was set at a balanced normal pace, the weapons worked, and I could see everything clearly on the screen...I would have no chance of winning ever. The house would always win......hammering out a royal flush every 5 seconds, in the form of pure screen chaos. 6: No progression system or incentive to continue to play if you could play at all. Meta upgrades do not exist. Red flags everywhere and the game plays as if someone was playing a joke on the players or trolling somehow. I refunded the game, but I am always willing to give devs the benefit of the doubt. So I will change my review and re-buy the game as soon as the developer fixes all the above mentioned things and communicates with the players.
