Darn it! – Graveyard Smash Review

I really wanted to like this. I love pinball games mixed with other genres, but this is just too simple and imprecise and it doesn’t explain what you are doing or why you lose or how you score higher and is lacking in variety. How do you know if you are doing good? Seriously though, I understand the score goes up, but is it better to bounce the “balls” off the creatures or just ignore them and hit the balls into the holes every time. How do you know if you killed a creature if it doesn’t ever die or seem to be doing anything but moving back and forth and bouncing the balls off that hit them? How do you know if one ball is better than the others? How do you know when and why you lose a ball? Why does the game randomly end? Sure it’s probably not random because you get to play for a short and specific amount of time before the game ends without warning no matter how good you at least think you are doing? I understand that there will be new levels daily, but I don’t know anyone who prefers to play only one level instead of a bunch of levels (even if it’s only when they have progressed far enough in a game). If the game is going to remain like it is with only one level (that I could find), please at least leave the old levels available to play as you add new ones. Also, if you need an example of a pinball genre mashup game done right, check out Zombie Rollerz (probably the best pinball game I’ve ever played). Since this game doesn’t have traditional flippers, it could really use the genius aiming technique that Zombie Rollerz has.
