Fire Up! for Pc

After only playing for a few minutes and leveling up 6 or so times, the game quickly becomes impossible. It has come to the point where the second wall will always kill you, even if you aim at the weakest wall from the moment it enters your screen. How they expect you to pass multiple walls baffles me. Weak walls are practically non existing, and power ups never show up because of how quickly you die. This game would've been great if it didn't scale directly with you (i.e. If you always started with single digit walls and the further you go the stronger they become) instead, the more you level up, the higher the walls strength becomes. And it does not scale with you. As very often the walls become impossible to pass with your current strength. And because you die so early and are unable to break walls, leveling up becomes impossible because of the absurdly small amount of points received (as if the leveling would help as the game would just make it more impossible) clearly after all the deaths, and an ad after practically each one, it's easy to deduce this game was just made to kill you quick for add revenue. Dissapointed as the main premise of the game had promise and seemed like it would be a great time killer. Little did I know I would be playing 10 second games with 30 second adds afterwards.

The basic mechanics of this game are pretty fun (4 stars), but the implementation could use a lot of work. My two biggest problems with this game are: the block health scaling, and the abundance of ads. The most irritating thing of all is definitely how the block health scales as you level. In general this scaling is a good idea, but at present the blocks scale up faster than your damage after a certain point. Once you get your two skills above lvl 10 you’ll start making less and less progress as you level, as well as earning less and less points with each run. Currently the game hits a point where it’s better not to level at all, and relatively quickly at that. The ads are also annoying, as in all ftp games, but they seem particularly aggressive here. This is mainly because te block health scaling prevents rounds from lasting more than 2-3 minutes, and following each round you almost always get two 30 second ads, outside of the optional ads. At least you can pay a modest $3 to remove them, which isn’t terrible if the game mechanics are improved.

For raw shooting goodness, this game is great. At low levels it's very satisfying to clear away the blocks. But the game has some weaknesses which many have already pointed out. Yes, the ads are very frequent and ruin the user experience. You come to expect this with free-to-play games, but they seem pretty heavy handed here. I purchased the no-ads option, and even then, the only way to extend your round after crashing is to watch a 30 second ad. And yes, after a while there's no progress to be had because your firing strengths don't exceed the blocks ahead of you. There are a few temporary upgrades, but there are so so many unexplored opportunities for powerups, block variations, etc that could be done. Maybe these will appear in a future update. After playing for several hours, I believe it would have been better to error on the not-enough-challenge side, rather than so-much challenge-the-game-becomes-unplayable. Overall, good job VooDoo, but fingers crossed for an interesting update.

POINT EARNINGS with the new update that was just added o find it very difficult to earn any points. Before the upgrade my average score every time would at most me about 5 Billion, and that is super important because my upgrades cost so much because they are sick high level. with the new update my average score hasn’t even gotten over 200 thousand, which mean i can only upgrade one time for only one of the two upgrades Also won this new update i’ve seen power ups are a lot more rare to get. as before they would pop up every like minute or so. more power ups or especially good for me because i’m always needing ways to gain more points for upgrades STAR BLOCK The new star block with the update 2.1 is a very good idea that was added in the game the only problem is that it destroys like 3 rows of blocks ahead of you... without giving you any points. I fell the star block should give you all the points from the blocks it broke, just to be a little not fair Before this update the game was really fun, and i’m not saying it’s not fun anymore because it’s still fun. it’s just that it’s so difficult to gain any points at this point it’s just not worth my time. even tho i still play it one only getting like 500 thousand every like 7 games when before i was getting like 4 to 7 BILLION every 1 game. See the difference there
