Reviews for "Penguin Overlords"

Another poorly designed game as a daily feature...

I'm sorry but I found this game to be highly irregular in very bad ways. For one, the AI of the penguins is very simplistic. And it loves to get stuck on walls whenever it can. It's amazing how long one (or all) of them will sit there running face first into a wall and never move. Either remove the walls in the middle of the levels or program the AI to plot a path around them somehow. That's just shoddy work. :/ Second is the fact that results are inconsistent. What do I mean by this? I replayed the same level multiple times with the same exact power ups, not changing anything... and I had failures as well as successes. This. Should. Not. Happen. EVER! The fact that it does just takes all the fun right out of this game. Sorry, but in my opinion this doesn't deserve a daily feature if there are glaring flaws like that.

attention:

to all the ppl givin this a low rating and bad mouthing the game. did you ever make it past the tutorial? this game is great. do you understand how to play . is losing so damn bad? grab a fuckin kleenex and dry up the bitchin

great! Here's some suggestions

1) add more music. But thank you for giving me the option to turn it off.
2) Assign hotkeys to the special abilities. Collecting money makes it difficult to actually use the special abilities in the middle of the battle.
3) You mention 'strategic thinking' in your "summary", but that's impossible. The action moves so fast and you spend most of your time collecting money orbs that there is no thinking involved. You simply smash 'speed boost' and 'extra penguin' and let the chaos unfold. Maybe you throw in a 'health boost' in the middle of the match for good measure but really, the entire time I have no idea what my penguins are doing because I'm farming those delicious money orbs. Something to consider.
4) definitely allow 'money collection' to be upgradable so that it become easier to do.
5) I would like to see more extras, hidden goodies, secret levels, the like.
6) I blew through the tutorial without reading. TLDC. In the future, simply give us a one page run down or include an option to skip the tutorial. Remember that the people who are playing your game are notoriously fast learners and will likely pick up the idea of your game without needing it explained.

Amazing

I like turtles xD i like this game and the music sounds familiar ... is it a remix of kingdom hearts ? anyways adictive , fun , good music , EPICNES ALL THE WAY !
