It would be nice if this was a REAL boxing game and tom didn't have those lil armor clad ass-clowns or whatever they are popping up and buffing him: A shield where you can't him him but he can hit you; you get hit you're poisioned, tom gets angry and punches like a rabbit on speed, and finally if you hit him you loose health.
Next time make a game that actually has some realism to it, where you duke it one 1 on 1 in a REAL boxing match, where your rely on your training and technique to see the holes in your oppnents defense to get your hits in and no armor wearing Monty Python skit rejects
Author's Response:
If you want to duke it out with Tom like a man, just let him get back up over and over again, he'll regain health as the rounds end.
You can beat his ass one on one for 10 rounds :D

Not bad, I like shoot em ups, but it's a royal pain in the A$$ to do it this way. You have to be faster than your opponent, but in order to do that you overshoot the bullseye and 9 times out of 10 you get shot; and why is it that if you have a gun and copper bullets even if you hit the bullseye, you do like 10-15 damage and then if you get shot--even if your oppnents crosshair in in the outermost ring you take 85 damage?
I'd redo the targeting interface; maybe have the mouse follow a pattern, hitting numbered bullets or starts or just have a simple click-and-shoot option this way just plain sucks and really hurts the game.

It's all right, you got good story going--it's scary to think that since now there are robots that looks like humans out there in this day and age that this can happen--but the one glaring fault that ruined a great game--I gave up after I redid the 1st misson 10 TIMES (and 2 of those times I killed all the guards and I still got a "Mission Failed" notice) and gives you only a 5 instead of a 7 or a 9 is that YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH TIME!!! 7 seconds in the 1st misson?!? C'mon!! you can't see past what the scope shows you, you have to be precise on your head/body shots for a kill. Redo it and give us like 15-20 seconds--or better yet NO time limit--to finish and then resubmit

I love poker, been playing it for just over a year but this game has one flaw: it seems that you get all the crap cards while your opponents get all the good cards. Case in point I had a King and Ace, I had everone else at the table fold until it was down to me and Ron "San Saba" Dixie. there was over 150 bucks in the pot I went all in so did Ron, good ol Ron had an 8 and a 4 and and...oh my god! an 8 and a 4 came on the flop I was shocked!!! (note the sarcasm)
Fix it so that you actually stand a chance of winning once in a while at this game and it might be a little more enjoyable.
Author's Response:
I can tell that you only play a year.
I am not shocked when that happens.
ACE KING are just 2 high cards that need paring on a flop to be a real good hand.
ACE KING is also nick named Anna Kournikova She looks really nice buts she hardly ever wins. MMMMM i wonder why?

This has got all the makings of a great Horror game. I would just add a one thing. Perhaps a way to shoot/attack in it; you know that something is wrong..VERY wrong when you find the severed hand and I think you have a shotgun in your locker when you put on your SWAT gear, so an attack/shoot commad would be great and it does need to be a little longer but the TO BE CONTINUED... was a nice touch, I can't wait to see part 2. Keep up the GREAT work .

It's not a bad game...actually it's a great game! A lone swordsman--armed with a mystical sword--against an army of ninjas and their Demon Lord Master...LOVE the concept. Sounds; like a summer blockbuster movie to me, (lol, lol). BUT--there always has to be a "but" right? There are a few things that ruin this game: I know other reviewers said this but I'll say it again...the star throwing ninjas ruin the game. I mean why do you have to type a letter to deflect the stars if the arrow keys are suppossed to control your dodge/deflect moves?
Also if you have more than 1 tosser (I had 4) you better have 10 fingers on each hand and have a typing speed of 500 WPM and know the letter layout of your keyboard like the back of your hand or forget about saving your temple...you'll just get stuck: getting hit, getting up...getting hit, getting up...getting hit, getting up...getting hit, getting up...(see the problem/pattern here?)
The archers don't work at all--well I only had 1 so that might be a factor--I think he hit 1 and x'ed off 1 letter on his name, and for some reason I had full rage and my special moves didn't work. All in all it's a great game but I think it would be A LOT better if you took out the typing aspect of it and made it kind of like an action/adventure game; same concept and all but the typing part of it has got to go and you need to tweak it so that you don't get into the "hit, stand up" pattern

It's a nice little game, I like the idea of looking for treasure and also getting help from "Flipper" (OK so I named the dolphin, I had to, lol, lol) But I have to agree with what many of the reviews say: make it so you have a health bar, the sharks killing you with one hit is very annoying! Better yet, make it so you have torpedoes or a harpoon gun or something to stun and/or kill the sharks; also take out the speed burst that a shark gets when it sees you.
All in all it's a nice game it has a few flaws that I just mentioned, but if you can add in my suggestions and upgrade the game a little it'll be a lot better I think.

Terrible! You really need to work on the control scheme. I mean why didn't you just use the arrow keys to move and "A" to attack and "S" to block The use of the mouse to attack and to decide what kind of attack you use is so messed up. I mean if you're getting mobbed from both sides you don't want to keep switching sides with the mouse to atack. Also if you move too far along the screen to say advance into an attacking group with a dash attach and you pass by where the mouse is set you turn and attack thin air.
How this got FP I'll never know the game is all right, good gore factor and i like the idea of being a Masterless Samuari on a lone quest, but the control scheme has GOT to go, if you make the controls more player friendly instead of the retarded set-up you got now it might get a better score.

As I've said before, I'm a sucker for Defense Games...there's just something about them that I love...but this one...UGH!!! BAD, BAD, DAD!!! To all you gamers out there DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!! I mean what is the point of having a targeting icon if it dosen't work?!? I can't tell you how many times that I had the targer sight dead on and I miss, WTF!?!? You really need to go back to the drawing board on this one, my friend. I could go into detail on everything that's wrong with this game but I dont think I'd have enough room for it all I'ljust leave you with this:
FIX THE TARGETING CURSOR!!! Like I said Ihad at leat 50 kills that were dead on in the target and I missed!!!
Also, you need Levels or power ups in this game; I know that crates fall from the sky with HP and other weaponry but if you're getting gang raped by 50 gunmen and 40 tanks you not gonna take the time to shoot a crate that gives you 4 missles. Also take out the heat guage, I mean it is so annoyong to finally align the gun right so you're picking off the "commies" then WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP!!! you gotta cool down and then try all over again to shot them.
Lastly these "commies" as you call them why the hell do the move faster then The Flash on speed?!? slow them down for God's sake. Like I said there are A LOT more things that are so wrong with this game, so I'd just blam it, scrap it, shoot it into outer space, whatever but you need to re-do this game in a MAJOR way

It's ok...I can tell you put A LOT of thought into this and I appulad you for that, but there are a few things that are lacking, I found that no matter who you pick out of the classes you die atthe start of the second day; also how can your earn any money when no matter what you do the approval of the punlic watching you in always in the minus. I man c'mon you need to be a little easier on earning money. Also I found that your opponents move A LOT fater then you and can attack MORE TIMES than you too...I mean you get ine one swing to there 2 or 3 swings. Keep the story of ane game in, , but please re-do the control system, the way you earn money and just take out the public approval rating. bu doing that I know you'll have a much better game...and higher scores

I don't know what to say:
I know it's a bit hard, but the problem here seems that you don't grasped the controls very well.
Enemies DON'T attack faster than you (except those with little weapons, that does a ridiculous amount of damage.) Maybe you got some lag? Try to lower the quality and keep the FPS counter in the lower right corner above 15.
As for the public ennthusiasm, if you attack slowly and running in circles, it is very boring (for you too!).
Try to get a good timing in the attacks and score some combos... the crowd amusement will boost up, and if you reach the maximum they will throw money at you.
I've put up a page dedicated to the game, where you can find the latest version and where you'll find 4 videos that show a suggestion on how to pass the first three levels with no worry... In those videos I show that it is possible to end the first 3 levels even without using drops!!! :-)
