Interesting game but lacking in variety and content.

I received this game as part of the Indie Humble bundle recently and it looked pretty interesting. Basically you drive a hover tank around and shoot at bad guys who are supposed to be invading aliens although this is only mentioned briefly in the game. There are also bonus, health, and the occasional special weapon pickups (there are only 2 special weapons in the whole game).

The game is split into two chapters with the first being a series of repetitive "training" missions to get the player used to maneuvering the tank and navigating levels. Unfortunately this gets old very quickly and offers little in the way of challenge. The second chapter is far more interesting as it offers a level with open areas and a lot more enemies to kill. Too bad there is only a single level. In all most players will finish all of the single player missions in less than an hour.

I didnt really get a chance to try out the multiplayer as the only server that had players on it was locked with a password. I think the developer has some interesting ideas that could be fleshed out into a proper game with an actual campaign in their next title. Overall this indie game felt more like a demo that most people will get bored with fairly quick.
