Four pounds of win in a 4 ounce packet...
Storm the House, the origional, was my very favorite flash game of them all. I have to say, with this second version, while unexpected, was somewhat dissapointing.
First of all, i saw no graphical improvements in the game -- No problem, I thought. If the gameplay is the same, it'll rock.
Then I noticed the ... sluggishness, if you will, of the game. It felt like my curser was moving sluggishly and the game had a lower FPS than the origional. That was deterring, but I kept on.
Then I noticed the limit put on how fast you could fire your gun. This flat out just annoyed me. Wheres, in the origional A wave comes at you, you can waste them as fast as you can click, and then reload.. not you have to actually carefully place your shots... this is not 2D Counterstrike. I want mind numbing button smashing fun! The pauses where very annoying.
The new guns are refreshing, but I was also expecting some new technoloy, maybe laser beam sattelite.. or... i don't know. something else new. Ah, back to the guns. I found that the shotgun was useless as it rarely hit what your aiming at, rather it hit everything but it -- pissed me off when theres only one grunt on the fence and you have to aim 3 shots AROUND him to hit him. the SMG was pretty much useless, and the dual pistols... well, I barely noticed a difference there. i didn't go any further -- It was pretty dissapointing. The origional, i made it over 100 days, never dying. I died on day 3 two times in a row do to encredible long reload times.... beh.
I'll stick with STH, the origional, until STH3 comes out. Hopefully you'll address some of the newly arrisen problems and reconsider reimplementing some of the older features.
