Reviews - Tempala

Nice look and "arcadey" feel. Fluid gameplay. Still, felt more console ready than PC ready. For PC, needs some work on the menus, the control cues, and the control sensitivity (-1). Also could use mouse support in at least the outer menu. (-1) It's a lot better than many of the old arcade games used to play, but (possibly due to the machine SF style), lacks a certain character. I never "hate" any of the enemies, not for story or for difficulty. Which mean I don't really care whether they beat me or I beat them. (-1) They're just a test of skill, no more no less.

An amusing time-filler. Like the unique look of it. A bit too easy (-1). Unless you're trying to maximize score, the challenge is really low (-1). There are a lot of levels, but a number of them are just show-pieces that don't require any solving, and a number more use the same "trick" to solve as the ones that came before (-1). Several more are less puzzle than timing game (-1).
