Reviews for "Xtreme 5 Min Shootemup"
Great Game
Good:
-Music > I've played this game many times and the music still is fun and entertaining. It also fits the feel of the game well.
-Graphics > Simple enough to see what's going on while still looking fancy.
-Play mechanic > I really enjoyed the concept that this game will only take 5 min to complete and the upgrade system was a nice fit to the non-stop action.
Bad:
Not much negative I can say about this game. A nice addition would have been a bar showing your progress to the next level. Also, sometimes enemies coming from the bottom of the screen can hit you with no notice. My only other suggestion is to add a choice to the ship you can start with in the beginning.
Overall:
I really do enjoy this game. I played it a lot when it first came out last year and I recently re-discovered it. I would love to see a sequel even if there isn't much innovation in it.
Tips for those struggling:
-This game is not impossible to beat, it's actually pretty easy to win once you get the hang of it.
-6,000,000 points is also not impossible, it's just really tough.
-Kill everything you can, you need the points so that you'll be upgraded. You can go through the first half of the game pretty easily without killing much, but towards the end you won't have enough fire power to take out anything.
-The game is exactly the same every time. Memorize where the tanks come from in the beginning of the game so you can more easily kill them. Also try to remember where the tougher enemies come from so you can take them out too.
-For the first boss, you should shoot off each of his guns before actually killing him. That will help get you the points you need to upgrade.
-Simply shooting an enemy will give you points so even if you don't think you have time to kill one, just try to put some shots on him to net you some of those precious, precious points.

Awesome game!
I've played this game on other websites and I didn't think it was on NewGrounds too. It's fun, easy, and addicting.
P.S., For those of you who say it's "impossible" to win in solo, try to kill as many enemies as you can. Killing more enemies means leveling up faster and getting more points. Leveling up gives you better firepower and missiles that will come in handy during the bosses.
Awesome!
A couple of extra lives would've been great, but I guess that what makes it so exciting! Pretty intense five minutes. I liked it! Excellent game. Well done. The graphics were very nice; a little blurry in spots but that just added to the challenge!
