Heavy Rockets - cave shooter game Reviews

So much potential

M A 4

I'm hopeful it becomes more playable with an update, because I like what little I can see! Problems: - IAP and optional ads are extremely in your face. Yet I paid for a premium game? It seems like you have to earn currency to pay for every shot you fire! You can watch ads mid-game to earn more shots. It's not immediately understandable, either. I paid for the game. Can I unlock everything by playing? Can I get ammo without watching ads? Enough to be fun and play fully? As it is, out of the box, there's not much content unlocked. - Controls are poorly placed for iPad Pro, and seem buggy: thrust gets stuck often. - Even "Super Easy" tracks are literally impossible to beat, because you can't make the required time without outrunning the enemy ships, who block the tunnel in front of you. As soon as you touch them you die. I can imagine in theory if you played 1000 times you might slip between them by luck, but the challenge of that is WAY beyond the challenge of navigating the tunnels. It's a lost cause. I hope to see adjustments so the currency-based elements become some half-hidden very optional extra, rather than constantly in your face. Right now, it's free-to-play without the free.

Advertisement nags are INTOLERABLE

Don't mind me...

HEY WATCH THIS VIDEO ADVERT TO REFILL YOUR HEALTH HEY WATCH THIS VIDEO ADVERT FOR A POWER UP HEY WATCH THIS VIDEO ADVERT BECAUSE F YOU HEY WATCH THIS VIDEO ADVERT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED A VIDEO ADVERT IN THE PAST 15 SECONDS No. Stop. Mobile games are dead; it's just mindless advertising now. You should be ashamed of yourself, not only for giving in to the advertising milieu, but also for giving up on your ability to make a game that can stand on its own without resorting to a desperate cash grab in order to financially succeed.

Pretty Freemium for a Paid Game

Balanced heavily toward the use of IAPs in order to succeed. Needs a dual stick control scheme. Being able to only fire in the direction your ship is facing is a huge handicap. A real shame. This game could have been a solid cave flyer.

Meh

This game looks like it has the coolest and most techno music to go along with the gameplay. Well, it doesn’t. The graphics are cool but the gameplay is pretty simple and boring. Seriously, if it had some electro music to go with the neon colors, this game would be a ton better.
