Review of ! AreaFiftyOne !
Like Pong, but with guns and aliens. (Also, it sucks)

Physical Qualities - 1/10
The game looks & sounds like absolute shit.
The animation on your alien's eyes and tractor beam is too fast, same with your enemy's star.
Graphics could be drawn by anyone, and look like shit.
The sounds are generic sounds, and there's no background music.
Gameplay - 1/10
You shoot alien babies (according to the game's description) to get points, so the storyline makes absolutely no sense (there's no storyline anyways).
This game is High-Score-Based, meaning there's no winning, just getting a better score than last time.
There are 3 methods of earning points:
- Hit the ball past your opponent (The pickle looking thing with a star above it) to get 20 points.
- Shoot your opponent to get 1 point/hit.
- Shoot the alien baby heads for 5 points each.
Controls - 10/10
I did not test the webcam controls, as I do not have a webcam, so I am unable to report on those.
Mouse controls: Perfect.
Move your mouse left/right to move in that direction.
There is no reason to ever let go of the RMB.
The controls are responsive enough so that you'll never lose to a faulty control system.
Replayability - 1/10
Ten seconds and you've experienced the entirety of what the game has to offer.
Hack Power - 1/10
There's only a shitty points hack that I submitted (4b*1).
Overall Rating - 3/10
It's not a "bad" game, it's just not "good".
It can occupy your attention for maybe a few minutes, but then it's time to move on to something else.
