That's part of the challenge!


No. It's frustrating, and makes me feel like I can't control the pods. I gave up after three runs through...I couldn't aim the bastards, so the game sucked.

It would be addicting, if I felt like I could control my elements within the game...as it is, I feel like the deck is stacked against me. Computer games that cheat aren't fun. ;-)


In order for a challenge to be fun there needs to be some consistency or pattern to it. The actual pleasure of playing a game comes from the brain learning to recognize patterns. But the aiming seems completely random, making it frustrating, not fun. If you fix that though, the game has the potentially to be moderately addicting.
