High Hopes, shattered
The second I saw this game, I thought it looked like a cool Cyberpunk Matrix style thing, like maybe where the hacker would be fighting a firewall security suite or something. I REALLY want to give it more stars, but I can't. I just can't recommend it, as is. To be blunt, the game is too hard. You start out with one little blue guy, and you have to spend a certain amount of time on each square to turn all four sides blue, but doing so drains all of your power, then you die. So while you're sitting on this one square, like a chicken trying to hatch it's eggs. the bad guy is busy spitting out drones that do the same thing you do (except they turn the squares red in half the time), but he's spitting out one drone per second. So, yeah. By the base rules of the game, you're screwed. it's impossible to win. There are little doodads you can pick up, and special squares you can take over to help you do better, but those relentless drones and bad guys are going to overpower you every time. I tried to play the game perhaps 6-7 times, each time I lasted for about 5 minutes before I got run over. I guess this might have made an ok arcade game, 40 years ago, to get kids to throw away their quarters before moving on. but ah as a modern game, the enjoyment level is somewhere just above zero. I was REALLY really hoping to have a blast with this game, too. I sincerely wish people would make more games like it.. just don't make them so that they're impossible to beat, or at least enjoy.
