Can't say a lot about this one. I think if the basic concept had been more convincing, it would have been easier to get good ratings for the other categories.

Fun for a while, but got old pretty fast.

Just another click and kill game. A better idea would have been great.

Didn't like it very much... Don't think it's on-topic, really (infection is diferent from contamination, IMHO)... Thought it quite boring, although it had a nice look...

The difficulty level starts too low and goes up way too slow. Also, the screen messes up for a short while sometimes.

Core gameplay gets old fast. Music was fun.

The game seems just too easy, so that I could play it on and on and it added difficulty so slowly that eventually I got bored to try play it until I would lose the game. Graphics and sound were quite suitable.

Gets pretty hectic ^^

infection is only a cosmetic theme here... you could have made the game about falling eggs or cows or whatever....the difficulty improves too slowly, nothing interesting happens.

The timing made the game almost way too slow to be enjoyable. Usually would get no dropletsd or they would fall really slow

The robot voice frightened me. Unless I missed the point, when the game started... nothing happened. I sat there waiting for something to shoot, and nothing came. At least there was the graphic of the sick moon for me to giggle at, I did like that. Too bad there weren't more graphics. I like graphics! Eventually some very slow blobs came dripping down from the screen, which I shot, and then I sat there waiting for some more very slow blobs... is my computer too slow for this game?

Pretty decent graphics.

Nice use of Alpha blending.

Well it starts out pretty hard... I don't know about the rest of you but I don't think I'd ever be able to make it past the second level.

Ah a falling-stuff game :) Needs a little more complexity to stay interesting, but it looks pretty good, and "evil moon goop" is a phrase you don't see eveery day. The man in the moon is cute.

It would be better if it have more difficulty, I stopped to show them at level 10 and until level 17 I didn't lose... :-)

Zaphos

It's well done but ... far too slow to be interesting, and not particularly cool conceptually. A speedup such that most of the time in not spent waiting for something to click, and it would be a small pleasure.

Good game. Graphics are great and SFX is cool (although it could use some sounds for shooting and goop emerging). Music isn't very impressive but it's better than silence in the background. Game is definitely too easy at first levels and a bit boring until later levels (level 10 or 15 should be first level, game starts to be fun about that point). Also sometimes long pauses between goops were a bit annoying (if it kept throwing goop at player rate it would be more challenging and more fun). It doesn't fit into theme too good. There is also small bug with turning off music (key[] array ;) ). Nice game done in nice way overall (but boring at first levels which probably discourage most players). Well... where could I get cash it showed I earned? ;)
