Fun but Stupid Mechanics – Battle Disc Review

The game is fun to play and very simple but aside from the incredible amount of ads there is something that really, REALLY bothers me... The lack of BASIC physics!!! At first when you play, you don’t notice this because at first it actually does follow what I like to call the “bounce-mechanic.” Basically, if you shoot something at a flat surface at an angle, it should bounce off that surface at the same angle. The game follows the bounce mechanic on the first few shots but if you try to make a similar shot too many times or if you try to let it bounce for a while, it ignores all physics and tries to make impossible movements to try and reach you. Think Captain America’s shield except they don’t even try to make the bounces look possible. While I get that they want to encourage you to make more shots instead of it bouncing everywhere for all eternity, it really discourages you from making well-calculated shots. You’re better off spamming the thing willy-nilly because if you try do a good shot and make it bounce for a while, the game says “that’s a no-no” and somehow gets it to bounce back towards you. If you’re going to make a game based entirely off of bouncy physics, then you should go the extra mile to make sure the physics actually works.
