Scribble Ships

When I first tried this game out, it was completely unplayable because it kept crashing at certain bosses. But my refund didn't go through and the game was fun enough to try again when I saw there was an update. I'm glad I gave it another shot! It's a lot slower-paced than other shoot-'em-ups but still pretty exciting because of the way every shot counts. The bosses that show up every once in a while are also fun and unique for this type of game. It's really a nice change of pace from similar shooters. A few flaws in no particular order though: 1. The create-a-ship thing doesn't let you choose your ship's build. It's always a light-weight fast ship that dies in one hit. This is especially important to note because it means the game's main selling point is kind of misleading. 2. It's okay to have a ship that's slower than the other ships for balance, but the Hake is so incredibly slow that certain bosses are basically impossible unless you luck out and pick up enough movement speed boosts that you can take them down. This is compounded by the fact that additional firepower upgrades aren't actually that great on the Hake past level 3; it just gives you a weird spread-shot that's oddly useless in this game. 3. When the Leviathan shows up the game slows down to the point of basically stopping completely, for a moment. This has also happened for me against late-game bosses, probably thanks to the number of other enemies around at the same time. 4. The game may not crash during play anymore, but it does sometimes crash in the little doodle program where you draw your own ship. 5. There's no sound when a power-up appears, and you can sometimes kill off-screen enemies, meaning that essential upgrades can disappear before you even know they ever existed. 6. Homing missiles sometimes pass right through enemies. Overall it's a nice little score-chaser, and none of that ruins the game for me so I'll go ahead and give it the thumbs up... But, buyer beware.

I suck

Lovely and fun casual game. Very nice graphics and just a nice wave clearing game with new and innovative ideas :) Also ideal for children.
