Description by Walter R. Moore: Extra Fire Power

Your first two sets were utter crap. Here, you added thousands of additional 3-hits and half-hits, more barriers, and something else. What was it? Oh, yeah – bosses whose bombs target the ship. This set wasn’t crap, but I can’t describe what it really is because I won’t use that kind of language online.

This was rather difficult and I was enjoying it.
Some of the levels took over 10 minutes to complete, but they were pretty good until (crime scene music dun da dun da) BOSSES! They earned you an F. Too bad because it was challenging up until then.
If you shoot or blow up my ship then I have no choice but to bomb the set with an F.

O_O I can't understand how you liked this Cult Of Craps... O_O

I almost don't want to get into this... BUT.... and maybe ricoman is right in that it has something to do with the ship that you have. I enjoyed this set.... got all the rings and didn't have to replay.... but that was because of the PUs and the extra ions. The Boss did destroy me several times but there were plenty of ions to take care of that. I, too, have the ship 26 and that helped alot with all the indestructibles.... I forget which level it was... but it was the side ways maze.... that one was tough! I enjoyed the set and the challenge in spite of the negatives mentioned. So...... there you have it! Mixed reviews!! But that is what makes this all so interesting, many different players and creators with many different likes and dislikes. Thanks for the challenging set!

I don't mind a challenging set and this one was definitely challenging, but it also contained some things I don't care for. Bricks stacked on top of bricks are not fun to me, as well as bosses. Bosses are frustrating to me. L10 I thought was pretty cool. I liked how that one was scripted. You also had plenty of powerups in most levels to help get through the multitude of bricks. Not my favorite as sets go, but definitely a challenge.

This is a very good set, with very innovative ideas and I found it to be fun to play. Enjoyed the challenges.
One complaint -- too much time in between "phases" in L2.
L3 took me 4:21 mins., but I liked the triggers.
The "boss" was beatable in L5.
L7 took me 5:27 mins. to play, but it's good and not frustrating.
The bombs are avoidable in L11 and I had plenty of ions anyway.

Thanks, and I look forward to more from you.

Sorry, this one was no fun at all. After waiting more than 10 minutes on Level 3 for the ball to bounce at precisely the correct angle to go back to the rings, I decided life was too short. I aborted the game. I call this type of game "Tormentor's Delight." You obviously had more fun devising devious ways to frustrate the player than the player was supposed to have playing your set. A question you might want to ask yourself when designing a set: "Who is supposed to have fun? Me or the player?"
