Thank you for giving this away via the game giveawayoftheday  Jurij, appreciated.  It looks a lot different from your usual arena shooters of which I  now have over 30 of you 150+ games (e.g. Battle in the Rocks 2, Alien Outpost,  Desert Fear, Horror Windmill 1 & 2, Alien City Defender, Dangerous Land 1 & 2, Apocalypse City Arena, Colony of Mars, Sinister Ruined City, Death in Fog, Dead Ruines, Dangerous Dungeon 1 & 2, Dark Apokalipsis, Witches 1 & 2, Houses in Woods, Monsters in District 1 & 2, Shooting in Tunnel, and  lots more.  


Personally, I  think that you should combine   each category;  for example, all the zombies,  monster and soldier ones into three or four different much larger games.  As they stand individually I think they are way overpriced at  $5 each, but I would consider buying  them if they were combined at a reasonable price.  Add an  achievement system and definitely more  challenges, simply to survive the wave upon wave of monsters isn't enough; especially as  you only get one arena to explore. Add more such as  before you can  proceed to the next level, kill  a specific number of  monsters/zombies/soldiers/aliens, or survive for a certain amount of time, or  escape the level by finding a secret  exit, or maybe add some puzzles to solve before you can exit to the next  level/game and in my opinion  it  would  then be worth buying and probably  sell  better on Steam.  

You can buy   older AAA games on Steam;  for example, Men of Valor (MOV) or the original Operation Flashpoint (the precursor to  the brilliant ArmA series), the former game (MOV) has  about 20 different missions as well as the ability to set up a server and play online with friends.  Operation Flashpoint  has a massive  area of hundreds of square kilometres to explore,  plus the ability to  drive vehicles and fly  helicopters and jets as well as many var4ied missions to complete.  I've had both of those games since release and  still haven't managed to complete either one despite having at least a thousand hours of game play  from both games combined.  Those particular games were released back in 2004 and 2002 respectively,  yet the graphic  for the Men of Valor is superior to that  from the  assets you've used via  the Unity engine.   Plus,  you can pick it up both  when on sale for less than what you are selling just one of those single level arena shooters, that  on their own become  very tedious after  several minutes of the same game play.   Operation Flashpoint, which has a massive open world environment actually sold for only   £0.69 on Steam  recently week. 

I don't mean to be rude, I'm just  trying to make a suggestion that in my opinion would improve these games significantly if you combined them into a single much larger game. 

I've spoken to many  Steam  community members and friends who have one or more of these games and others who have  only  got  them  for free via Falcowares giveaways. They all agree with me on what I've said above regarding the  tedious game play after a few moments. Please consider  combining all of those unity  games into a single  game.   It would be so much better and you could sell it for  a a lot more than  the asking price of  individual games, especially with 30+ levels to work through.

Steam community members like  achievements and Steam trading cards. adding those to  a steam version would make the game even more saleable.

Again, please don't take  the remarks I've made  above as a kick in the teeth.  I have been buying computer games since the very early 80's. The first game I ever purchased was called ''The Island of Artuan'', a text based   game on the lines of those old RPG books where you'd read a paragraph then  have three or four choices, each choice taking you to a different page. I paid £25 for that game (and in real terms £25 back then is equivalent to about £110 now). By todays standards  I wouldn't pay £0.10 for it, yet at the time I thought it was  decent enough to pay basically half a weeks wages for it. 

 I appreciate the effort that is put into most games, including yours, I just think they could be so much better if you were able to  connect all of the games you've made  (at least the arena shooters) in a single progressive game  with some sort of challenge. Once you've played virtually all of those arena games  for several minutes and got to know where  all the spawn points for ammo and health  are, it becomes almost impossible to die.  

I'm sure   each of your games took  quite some time to put together, even using  the unity engine, and I appreciate the time and effort you made, but  today's gamers are spoilt for choice and can be very cruel with their  review, even when you get a decent AAA game  it can be lambasted  because of  popular reviewers giving it  a bad press.


Stay safe and good luck with your future games.

p.s. I'd consider purchasing your games on Steam  if only to support you (as I believe   most games are under valued (in real terms) especially when you consider the price I paid for that text based adventure back in 1980  forty one years ago; unfortunately   things are pretty dire  for me financially at the moment.  So I'm unable to. 

Thankfully    most of your games have appeared on the gamegiveawayoftheday  via Falcoware (though I'd still prefer   then on Steam).  I hope you get some advertising revenue from Falcoware for allowing your games to be given away?
