When I first heard about this game, I said "Heh, a single developer, some freaky game with a freaky kid having pretty decent graphics but that's all." I was soooo wrong! The controls are awesome, the graphics are even better, the weapons are different and fun each in a different way. I keep playing and replaying levels again, as it's just fun to blow things up that way! Really really worth 5 bucks. It's not "those guys", it's "that guy"!

Of interest, the developer says that "episode 2" is already in the works as a free update to the full game. It rocks btw, and I can't wait to see what the creative mind behind Caster brings to this beautiful, open world next. Good work Elecorn, I can't believe I got such an awesome game for just $5!

I ask because in the full version you have boss battles and are able to upgrade the jump so much that you might as well be flying. Maybe I should put that up in the details about the game. Thanks for the feedback! Tim & Vende,

But the game feels empty to me. It lacks sustenance. Game play is very repetitive and unrewarding IMO. The levels need a boss or two thrown in there. Maybe a rescue mission needs to be added, or a heal the land mission, or something different then just collect a few orbs and kill everything. I think that this is a nice foundation to start with, but it feels like an unfinished concept game. Add some meat to these potatoes and I'm in. Otherwise this game is more of a gimmick. tim Something went weird with my browser and it posted... strange:

I wish the draw distance was slightly longer, sometimes it feels claustrophobic.. It reminds me slightly of Tribes, except we can't fly :( maybe that's next? i think this game is pretty fun, I enjoy the lite version... i think i'll just keep playing that till there's a price drop, or at least an update comes out improving features...
