Thats pretty spiffy, another great game from pugfugly. 9/10

[ITD234]

Pug Fugly, you are like my idol in game making.
Here you let loose another one of your brilliant creations. Simple, yet madly addicting and spiced up with eye candy.
Can't wait for Return To Sector 9(or any game you plan on releasing)

[Kapser]

Very neat game. Graphics, musics and controls are great and simple as always. The game really feels like your other games.


Nice job, again!

[mitchbbaker]

wow amasing 9/10 the thing that lost the 1 is that you have to redo rooms that you have done other than that i love it and look at the easy high score im not much good so i play in that mode i will keep this one for a while

[jelleisgoed]

i like it!

[JTR]

Excellent remake! Great work with the variety of enemies.
Graphics, animations, sounds, music... All very good.
The Monster Book is a nice feature.

What's the Safe Hands-bonus? I've got it many times, but I don't know how.

You get that bonus if you catch all the crystals before they land.


Thanks for the feedback guys. The results of the competition aren't out until December 1st.... such a long time to wait......

okeey... unbalanced levels... first, everything was soo easy... then suddely small *******s came out . pretty hard but i made it. then it was easy again. then suddely on some level ****** fish came out with double respawn and double health. hard like hell! wiped out 5 times there. level after that was too easy. i wasent nearly hurt (the white healthbar was still there). the level after that was soo hard that i removed the game from my computer. And i was playing on medium. i though medium should be normal, but it seams to be harder then hard (yes, i tried).
i was following the left side all the time

another thing. when the guardian drops the gem all ****** monster went with too high speed towards it and went trough walls but normaly wont...

The menu was a bit wierd. dident like it.

nothing wrong with the music, sounds graphics. good that i can change to play with the mouse or the keyboard. The gameplay is ok bt im getting mad of i cant aim up or down

-edit-
no edit

Yup, you're right. The levels are unbalanced.

Just to explain, this game was made for a competition with a 3 month deadline, and being a father I don't have much spare time as you can imagine!! So sadly a few things had to be sacrificed to meet the deadline.


Bah, excuses excuses eh!

haha, at least you finish your games....unlike meh....

also, one of the main downsides that I find hard and annoying is that you cant point exactly up or down so its rather diffucult....

That's true, but this is a remake remember, and I didn't want to stray too far from the basic concept of the original.

[tapeworm]

I'm not familiar with the original game, but I liked this one a lot--especially all the enemy variety. And excellent music, as always.

[hotdogindustry]

You have a knack for making games with a consistent and enjoyable presentation. The graphics and sound are simple but slick. The only thing I have a problem with is not in your design, but the design you chose to emulate. I have trouble going back to retro shooters again because of their repetitive nature.

[llama man]

Absolutely fantastic, lovely, wonderful.
10/10

[Kapser]

Those red mages are hard! I'm trying to finish game again hehe..

And I chose your game for the next cagematch

Yeah some levels are hard, but the pyramid concept balance things up since you can try to avoid the hard stages.

Gameplay: 19/20: Excellent, it worked and it was easy
Creativity: 19/20: You claim to have based it on another game but I've never seen anything like it before
Others: 20/20: A very well made game, you should be proud

Yes there is. There always is in Pug's games as he makes tracker modules himself.
