Review For Generation- 4013 Platinum

Fun 9/10
Glitches 10/10
Map Design 9/10
Graphics 8/10
Music (If you have any) 8/10

This game is AMAZING.  I love the complex map system, and it's fun to raise your own city.  There were no obvious glitches, and the music was nice. 

Overall:  44/50!

Re: Dsteenson's Rapid Reviews!

All stuff that's SUPER hard to fix.  I liked the old music better from your old project, and the graphics could be as good as your genesis.  And also, can't give a perfect score now can I.

Re: Dsteenson's Rapid Reviews!

I'm not going to give this a score, sorry for the harsh words, but it does need improvement. 

The game has potential, and I like the switching arenas.  The sprites need some work, and characters should be faster.  Controls should be easier to use. 

Glitches:
Characters chasing you will randomly spaz out when they get close to you.

Could you look at Color War?  It's old, but still good.

I preferred the old music too, however:
1. It got repetitive very quickly, and this is meant to be an endless game! So, I used different music for each mode, so that it wouldn't get too repetitive. Because the View Mode would be used the most often, and for the longest time, I used an ambiance instead.
2. The original soundtrack was too large. So, I needed to find a smaller soundtrack that would fit. This was a very difficult task, because as I explained in part 1, it had to be smaller and less repetitive! I've never found it so difficult to make a soundtrack.

Re: Dsteenson's Rapid Reviews!

Would you like to rate Broadcastic OS 4.0 Beta 3
I prefer you use the Java Player or download; the Flash Player isn't very good. And for an outdated and usually slow Java Player, it runs the project outstandingly well!

Why not a score?

I do know it needs improvement. That's why I sent it here. Thank you though. I'm working on the spaz glitch.
