Quick Review #1 - The Last Canopy

Game Name : The Last Canopy
Publisher : ahbonk
Type : Shooter

A simple concept, you control a butterfly type creature which shoots down enemies, capable of copying the enemies shots using your following tail with little balls on. Sounds weird, right?

From a personal point of view, I really dont like The Last Canopy. It seems a bit OTT for what it is, and the story is just odd. The game is fairly easy, I managed to get the first 2 badges and the BT Challenge within 10 minutes. The graphics are well drawn out, and everything seems greatly professional. The music is also well done with some really neat effects and music. But the gameplay itself really seems quite boring after a while, however some people absolutely adorn this type of gameplay, which has seen quite a mixed reaction.

So, for this game, I give it the following score.

Gameplay : 3/5 , again, not my potato, but still interesting and well done.
Graphics : 5/5 , some top notch drawing and animation in store here.
Sound : 4/5 , simple, easy and non-annoying, but greatly effective.
Lasting Appeal : 3/5 , I was unsure on this one, I didnt think it was bad enough to be given a 2, but not really good enough to be given a 3. However, I did give it a 3 as I did go back and play again. Not really much difference or variation to make you play it much more however.
Bug Report : 4/5, playing for around 25 minutes and I only had one or two times where the game would occasionaly freeze or my bullets would glitch slightly, but nothing major.
OVERALL SCORE
3.8/5
Good
