[Imperium II]

greast game buti got stopped in my tracks when i recieved 'NaN' gold.
i then transfered 'NaN' gold t another city an endd up with every city having 'NaN' gold, Wha is 'NaN gold anyway?

I thourght I'd bring this to your attention but other than that the game was brilliant.

A good basis, i can't knock you for trying, but I have a couple of improvemets i think you should add in that'll really make this game something.

1. When i complete the level or fail and get a game over screen, any remaining UFOs don't disapear which makes the game feel like it hasn't been polished enough.

2. I couldn't help but notice that when playing the game, there was a 'clock' at the top of the screen but time was not passing, which just seems weird. maybe along with adding that in, it would be good idea too put in a background that gets lighter and darker depending on the time of day.

3. My last thourght would be to add in some upgrades for the player: Faster movement, faster rate of fire, more damage, more cannons, auto fire cannons, more weapon type, elementle damage, faster xp/money gain ..... and the list goes on, try to add as many as posible.

The game was good if it was your first though but I would still recomend improving. You can never get to a point where you have a 'perfect'game, it's impossible however, the closer you get the better

Keep up the good work,
Madsman.

its a good game but i found a bug
instead of saying 13th generation at the top of the sreen it said 13rd genration

if you really wanna make this game the best it can be, you need to polish out things like that.

It would take a nuclear holocaust to wipe you off of the face of this earth. Zombies don't stand a chance.

Wooohoo,

[Kyubiko]

it definatly needs more work but its not a half bad game. The two main things i would suggest are these:

1) make the tutorial unavoidable.
- for some reason, unknown to myself, I am the kind of person that'll say 'nah i don't need to look at the tutorial, ill figure it out as i go along.' but because your game is unlike most, ido not instantly know how to play it, and considering i'm a 24/7 gamer, that's pretty hard to do to me. Well Done!

2) the only other thing that i noticed whilst playing was the quality of the writing and the main logo in the top left of the screen on the main menu.
-I can't work out whether it is because of the background or because the writing and the logo have a low quality but somthing is making the outside of the text and the logo very poor quality.

The actual game play is rather good and it is clear that the programmeing for this game is thought out well because it all runs smoothly without jumps and stuff in the images so well done. I do not make games myself but am in a similar job with making animations, thus I know how frustating it can be to get images to more smoothly and run properly in time so i congratulate you on that.
I really enjoyed your game, Thank you for your effort!

Thank you for such a constructive review. The game was not designed to be played as such a small resolution. The graphics were all designed at 1024x768, but I've always loved games on Newgrounds and have been playing them since college.. anyhow I believe that it is because newgrounds requires me to shrink the game. I will look into addressing it to improve the visual quality.

Regarding the tutorial.. I think you are right about that, and will be adding that to a future update of the game. Thank you for your insight.
