Rickster8 #6 Posted July 13 (edited) Got a quick game in before work. Not my best, but a decent first score. I actually ran out of guys which is rare. They usually end up landing on me. 😝 Edited July 13 by Rickster8 Wording 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IntyFanMatt #10 Posted July 13 This is a good game, but I think it would have been great if they made the aliens a bit smaller, which would allow players to clear screens easier, advance in the game a bit more, and experience the other aspects of it, like the descending saucer etc. But it's still a classic! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people have problems with the 2 invisible screens. The trick to them is relying more on sound rather than sight. If you know Space Armada well enough then you will know how the armada sounds when there are less of them and can better pinpoint where they are. You can use that knowledge in the 2 invisible screens and defeat them more easily. Nobody should play Space Armada with the sound down, especially the two invisible screens... 😁 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gar0u #14 Posted July 13 Looking forward to getting in on the ground floor this season. 88K looks like a great start! Not sure I can even come close to that. We'll see... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those invisible screens would be so much better if the aliens were smaller, making the screens easier to complete! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By 'smaller' you mean less in number right, not the actual size of the individual alien ships? I think there are what 32 alien ships per screen? So you are saying like 24 would have been better?

I think there are what 32 alien ships per screen? So you are saying like 24 would have been better? I do actually mean size. I think they are too big and fill up too much of the screen, meaning they drop quicker, which makes the game hard. If they were smaller, they would spend more time moving left and right, and not dropping as fast. See the following review: http://www.intvfunhouse.com/games/sarm.php He says exactly what I am saying...the aliens are too big for the screen. But this is still a fun game and I enjoy it regardless.

For me the game starts once the red saucer starts landing cuz then he's out all the time which means mucho points.... 😉 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they're smaller, there are more of them across the screen, so you have to shoot more of them to clear the screen. So I'd think smaller == more shooting == harder. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
