Top Con

Obscene amount of advertising

There is advertising at every turn and it significantly slows down the game See More

Top Pro

Deep gameplay

While looking overly simplistic there is a good bit of strategy to the game as players can split their cell in order to confuse or surprise attack foes as well as spit out excess cells in order to change ones size. See More

Top Con

Significant Lag

Often the game is completely unplayable because of lag and latency. See More

Top Pro

Players can customize their cell

For those that register for the game they can customize their cell in order to have specific words or even use pictures. This allows one to stand out in the game and other players may take notice if you are often playing. See More

Top Con

Random respawns can lead to instant death

The game often sees players respawn right next to a large enemy which leads to them instantly dying, this can be frustrating when it happens a lot to a player. See More

Top Pro

Fun and addictive

The mechanics of navigating the screen area aren't all that easy to understand, so it's as much about figuring out the limitations of the board as it is about running away from the big guy. See More

Top Con

Frustrating gameplay

It can be frustrating when you get really big and get eaten by someone either when they pop you with a virus or are just even bigger than you are. See More

Cookie Clicker

Top Pro

You never know what is next

Each upgrade costs more and more cookies to purchase and each hidden upgrade is not made available until you reach the amount of cookies it costs, so no matter if you need 100 cookies to purchase a new Grandma or a trillion to purchase some other tool you will always be left feeling like you just need to reach that next milestone. See More

Top Con

Some may see the game as not a game

Incremental or as some know them "idle" games are not always received well by those looking for something with a bit more skill needed, basically the game will play itself at some point and from that point forward which can be pretty boring. So for those that are not interacting with the game that often (no clicking, no checking in often) it can be less of an interactive title than what some are looking for. See More

Top Pro

Addictive "gameplay"

While after 15 clicks the game can play itself, the constant goal of improving how many cookies one can click is pretty addictive in that there is always something to be improved upon. See More

Motherload

Top Pro

A few fun puzzle solving elements

Due to the fact that the player can not mine upwards, there needs to always be an avenue of escape to get back above ground. Whether this is leaving enough fuel in order to fly up or leaving dirt laid out in a certain way that the player can climb up. See More

Top Con

Short gameplay

Users have reported to being able to beat the game in around an hour. While the random generation allows for some replayability, the time that this game can be beaten means that a single play-though can be finished easily in one sitting. So for those looking for something to sink more time into, may want to look elsewhere. See More

Top Pro

Random generation allows for lasting gameplay

Each time the game is started new, the dirt that one will be mining in is randomly generated. This allows for a new experience each time played but also a way to make each individuals experience different. This way the game has a longer shelf life thanks to each experience being different from the last. See More

Top Con

Repetitive sound

The musical score along with the sound effects in the game can become annoying with time as there is little variation, meaning the sounds and music repeat over and over again, which can be frustrating. See More

Top Pro

Great controls

There are two different control schemes for the game, the player can use the arrow keys or the mouse. This allows the player to choose what works bets for them while also providing good controls for both. See More

Top Pro

Interesting story

The story is told through mysterious transmissions that the player will receive at random, making for an intriguing story that is slowly drip fed to the player, which is a good reason to keep playing as to find out what is happening. See More

Desktop TD Pro

Top Pro

Twist on normal Tower Defense

There is no predefined path for the enemies on the playing field, it is up to the user to build pre set mazes for the enemies to walk through that have towers placed in strategic points. basically it is up to the player to figure out how to best build a path for the enemies to be forced through. This creates a strategic element that is not often found in tower defense games. See More

Top Con

May be difficult to find players for multiplayer

Depending on the time of day or day of the week it may be difficult to find players for the multiplayer part of the game. When it works it is fun but often there is no one to match with. See More

Top Pro

Unique look

The game is designed to take place on an office work desk with the elements of the game being hand drawn cannons and such. It makes for an original look that stands out from the many tower defense games out there. See More
