i dont know who you had test this...
But apparently the "novices" you tested the game with were league players. I'm a total beginner at chess, and I got my ass handed to me every time on novice. I can play against other novices in real life and at least have a shot. This is like playing against someone who plays for a living.

ehhh
This game doesnt seem tested. It's very difficult very early on, which kills any fun factor it may have. The upgrades are too expensive early on. Adding a sword eliminates your lazer ability, that really sucked. The shields bouncing your attacks back was a terrible idea, especially for just the second level.
Balance some numbers like damage, health, and money, and it'll be a very playable, very creative game. Good start, but keep going.
When you upgrade the sword, you loose your laser and you can't shoot yourself, therefore the weapon is as good as the laser. However it's good constructive criticism, that I can use.
so...
the "extra lives" didnt seem to do much, there was no life indicator (or a very well hidden on), but otherwise it was playable.
5/10, 3/5.
ya you can only have 3 lives at a time. you can't store more than the max. think of guitar hero. you can't have more star power than your max either.
eh, not as cool as I expected.
sluggish controls, boring design, and you cant customize your car right off the bat? not so impressive.
however, the design, while boring, was smooth and well animated. everything was tight and presented well. sound got a little annoying, but thats to be expected in any flash game.
try again and you could have a great racer.
Actually you can customize the car off the bat. Just select the car on the far right.
great idea for your game
It was awesome! But really, it would be a really great idea to FINISH it before you submit.
Lol I know it seems simple but I wasn't actually planning on having a set 'Finish' of the game, rather I wanted to continuously add quests and levels for those who wanted to keep playing the game. I also wanted to release the game since I had been working on it for so long and I really wanted to get some feedback from it.
really fun, but
37 isnt possible.
Its hard, but not impossible. The trick I use is to keep resetting until your first dart hits 5-8 of the coloured bloons in the column. When they are all frozen, aim your next darts in a careful arc to hit only the ice bloons so the dart is skimming but not touching the frozen coloured bloons. I hit 36 this way infact, but it took a while. Perhaps this should be higher up in the 40s perhaps?
wtf
I really love how some people actually take some sort of pride in getting people to pass their flash as opposed to actually making something of quality (or anything at all, for that matter) that the actual norms or ng can vote on. This passed the same way that bush was "elected".
What didn't you know? George Bush has Paramount comedy to Back him up, He's in Their Pockets now!
Look Cut the Bullshit, I don't know what your problem is or twinkletoes below me but I've said it once and I'll say it again!
THIS IS NOT A FLASH MOVIE, IT IS NOT AN INTERACTIVE GAME!
IT IS A SIMPLE BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM FOR MY MYSPACE PAGE THAT I CAN CONSTANTLY RESUBMIT WITH NEWS AND UPDATES!
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE! GOD, read the title man!
Excellent game, but just gets boring.
This game was an excellent concept that just didn't end up being that entertaining. The graphics and sound added the perfect feel to it, but like I said before, I didn't have fun with it. Mario is fun, Contra is fun, this was simple innovation and imagination with a lack of entertainment.
you migth have noticed that the games atmosphere is sad
(I don't see why contra is fun, btw)
Yay I rule I gotta smoke.
