Quoting: linuxuserI am a big an of like buttons, but sometimes I wish we had a dislike button under some of your articles. By the way can't login into my old gol account, what's up with that?
Hi,

Can i ask you want you want to dislike ? What would be the point ? That's a real cordial question.

It is a nice game, but sadly i think the developers are not able to exploit it. They said they have more for the game, but they also said "in ab"out six months". And it's been weeks already of feedbacks about balance mostly, not only "nag nag" but with propositions, and still very very little has been done. The tech trees and the XP system need a complete redone, to start with.

However, the game has an amazing feel, the voices are excellent, the general ambiance is great, and the game is fun, but but but...

It's 40€ the beta !?

I know some devs want "real testers" and not just "players", and they set a higher price as a filter, but i find this stupid. I can be unable to afford this price for a game, and still be a good tester.

Also, as an early version, it has less content, and more bugs. I much prefer the opposite way : start low, and rise price with major milestones. Many games did that with success, example going from 2€ for the very first curious, to 20€ to the final release.

Unless i've missed something.

The visuals and sounds are not attractive at all, for me. I don't care about low tech, low poly, pixel, ascii etc, but this is bad design (colors, shapes...).

BulletRage might just be the most over the top twin-stick shooter I've ever played

I'm in too, and LiamD scored better than me... However we are both at 2K+ and the best one is 10K+, haha !

The game it really intense in a good way, hard but not unfair. I really needed to be fully aware when fighting the two bosses.

I don't like fast paced twin stick shooters, i much prefer games like Brigador (what a gem this one), but this one for some reason, i enjoyed a lot.

The settings is appealing to me too, with the post-alien-apo TV Show stuff.

The trailer is indeed really well done, it's not just some images put together, there is a real direction.

I don't do much Kickstarter, but here i'm tempted...

It's a nice "little" game.

The dev was really fast responding to our testing feedbacks yesterday, when we were pushing him to go Linux (i say "we" as i assume i was not alone, i don't know actually).

It took him less than one day to go from "maybe Linux" to "officially Linux".

If you understand french, this video may be usefull to see what the game has to offer :

About Arch being second, around me and also myself, we went from Mint to Manjora recently, and we are pleased by the result. It seems to be "better" for gaming, so far (same games on Mint sometimes didn't run, or with some issue, while they do without any trick on Manjaro).

Also it seems to be growing, from what i've witnessed. So maybe with time, Arch (and derived) >= Ubuntu (and derived) ?

Great news ! I didn't know this game, i think, but from what i've read and watched it seems really nice.

It's on my radar, this one. Could be great, if done right. "If", like always...
