Gameplay
2/5
Well, it is not an RPG, and there is not really much game to play. The game consists of a small Break Out style game and a small Pong style game.

The Break Out style game uses only 45 angles, the ball on a continuous diamond shape. It runs very smoothly, though. There are different objectives for different levels. In some levels, there is a set amount of blocks on the screen and you just need to destroy a target amount of them, in other levels you have to destroy a certain colored block. Instead of aiming, you just have to wait until it hits.

As for the Pong game, it is really just back and forth until someone screws up. This small game is for two players.

Graphics
3.5/5
Well, to be honest I am not sure if they are original or not, but the main graphics are nice. (eg. Paddle & Blocks) Sure they are simple, but they do the trick. The title screen, on the other hand, could do with some work. At least the graphics you have to concentrate on are easy on the eyes. In addition, the graphics detailing score and objectives could do with some work.

Story
-/-
No story. Not an RPG. None needed.

Sound
2/5
Next to no sounds in the entire game, I think there are two or three. There is also no music of any kind.

Uniqueness
2/5
Neither of the two modes of gameplay are original, but the game gets unique points for the objective-basis within the Break Out style game. I thought this was quite a different perspective on the game style.

Conclusion
It’s fairly simple and straight forward, but it managed to keep me entertained for a while. Accepting the fact that it is just a demo, I am sure we can see a much better outcome from future releases of the game.

2 + 3.5 + 2 + 2 =
9.5/20 x 5 =

Not a bad score, especially for a demo
