…and they are quite positive! The first came out Nov. 24ths, where Insectoid got a 4/5 rating:
Quote: “What sets Insectoid apart is really the presentation quality. [SNIP] Insectoid is by far the most well-designed and entertaining ‘alien-blaster’ style game I’ve played thus far.”
The second review came out today on a much more high-profile site, Avault, where it gets 5 stars:
Quote: “ActionSoft’s goal was to create a Galaga-inspired game for anyone who grew up playing classic arcade shooters and remembers when arcade games actually cost only one quarter to play. I’m happy to say the developer has succeeded on every count.”
Avault is also working on a best-games-of-the-year roundup that looks like it may include Insectoid, and I know of some other sites that are working on reviews as well. Here’s hoping this will get the word out about a game that few people seem to know about yet!
5 stars, very impressive! Congrats.
Any word if it’s going to get on apple.com or does it take quite awhile? =P
Insectoid has been listed on Apple’s site for some time now. Now if only they would choose to make it an “Editor’s Pick” for a week…
These are some very good reviews! I hope there will be more to come. And I definitely think that this is deserving of being an Editor’s Pick on Apple’s website… if only we could poke the editor to give it a shot.
