SEON ROZENBLUM  Ok, we have added 3 key new elements in v1.7 to make it easier for people to play.

The first is a slower targeting time for enemy turrets in easier levels, so you have more time to target and destroy enemies.

The second is the MegaHealth bunker. This bunker will automatically replenish your armour during the duration of the game. It wont keep you alive when being totally bombarded, but it will help you stay alive longer.

The third is the practice mode. This will allow you to practice all environments, against up to 7 enemies and never get attacked. Practice your targeting skills, and play with the new missiles. Bombers will come overhead in this mode, but will not drop bombs on you.

We feel that these 3 changes/additions in 1.7 will dramatically help those that have found playing Turret Wars too difficult to master.

As always, we take on all feedback from our customers and potential customers and are always striving to improve our games for all.  (Version 1.7)

OZGAMERCHICK  I downloaded Turretwars about a week ago after reading SYZZYGY's post

about how hard it was to play, because I like a good challenge and like

the idea of being able to play quick games at work during my lunch

break. I bought it the same day. $9.95 is a steal.

I have to say that if you guys are finding it that hard to win

against the computer after 100 games, you must have a motor skills problem.

Sure the

game is a challenge, but after only a few days of playing, I can win

more that 50% of my games against 7 enemies in Advanced mode now.

I bought the game because I wanted a challenge. It's not a lovey dovey

game where you win because the computer doesn't want to hurt your

feelings. It's a battle game and the description of the game on the

developers website (and here) is pretty clear. Destroy or be destroyed.

If you have played 100 games and haven't improved, then this game

clearly isn't for you. But why would you think 90% of the people that

buy this game are going to give up? Have you seen the highscores ladder?

You are clearly wrong, or I am just the 1 in 10.

I highly recommend this game to anyone that wants both a challenge and

longevity in their game purchase.  (Version 1.6.1)

HELIOS9  I pretty much agree with the previous reviewer. Turret Wars is fun, but it becomes less and less so over time.

The developer has made the game extremely difficult to excel at.

Doing well(scoring high) means extremely high accuracy...and doing so very rapidly at all targets, but the learning curve is so steep as to eventually destroy your motivation for persevering.

I've played hundreds of times, in beginner's level, but have reached an impasse.....I'm just about at the point of throwing in the towel.

There are many other targets besides opposing turrets, but really no time to hit more than one or two, and then only occasionally. An opposing turret zero's in on your turret very rapidly and destroys it unless your own accuracy is right on target.....something almost impossible to do with any consistency.

I'd say of every ten folks who purchase Turret Wars, nine will give up on it in exasperation and frustration sooner or later.

Turret Wars is quite punishing. Why the developer has made it so is a mystery.  (Version 1.6)

SYHARRIS  While initially, Turret Wars is great fun, it slowly becomes a progressively frustrating and rather demoralizing experience. To do well, you must hit targets with pinpoint accuracy in a short amount of time. To do that with any semblance of expertise requires, literally, many hundreds of hours of play. The mastery curve is very, very steep...it's simple to learn but very, very hard to play it well.

The beginners level is very difficult, the intermediate level is horrendous, the advanced level is just impossible and the master's level is, well, absurd.

This game will kick your ass hard, over and over and over again. It's definitely not for everyone.

The game's design is quite sophisticated and the graphics are very well done.

I'm not sorry that I purchased it, though.  (Version 1.6)
