Leave a Review Earth Impact
Super boring
Downloaded because of the pretty screenshots. Found the gameplay to be pretty much non-existent. Basically the game is made artificially difficult around the idea that you have to very precisely select population centers based on what’s more densely lit. You can’t zoom, you just have to sort of blindly tap in the area you think will be registered with your fingertip. It’s only 99 cents, but you’ll probably get more value out of an equivalently priced Snickers bar from a vending machine. I mean come on, Snickers bars are delicious!Show lessjjstratton
Love it but
I love the game its amazing but can you guys make it so that if you get the exactly amount of destruction you need it counts? So far thats my only problemMystic_D
Would not advise purchasing
Yes the graphics are alright, but there are free games that have better graphics than this one. This game got boring after 5 minutes, you just tap on the earth and an asteroid will fall and hit the earth, no 3D effects or particles, just a grey circle where the asteroid hit. This game is not even worth the dollar to be honest, I would not advise purchasing this app, as I’ve deleted it already.Show lessgreaceyo
I want my money back
Hi I think I got ripped off maybe you can make it better by like adding a human count or when you hit news forecast come up on the top and say meteors hit USA or something like that but right now I’m not really pleased don’t give me my money back until I say it’s bad badtriple wolves
HUH?
Level 5 Europe, every combination of astroids hitting the area and only get to 90.2%. Two asteroids get to 95% but the other 3, hitting highly populated areas don’t do much damage. Close to deleting this app and eating the $.99. I get it’s a puzzle game but be consistent, don’t tell me to hit a well lit, populated area for multiplier only to barely affect the overall percentage. If there’s a technique to it, it sure wasn’t mentioned in the tutorial. Disappointed.Show lessF. Hughes
Great game but...
So this game is amazing and I love it! I think it should take into account more things like waves created in the ocean and shockwaves for giant meteors in stead of just a darkened circle. Great game for .99 cents though! Good graphics but I would like to see actual meteors hitting rather then you just tapping and causing an explosion you don’t actually see.
I really hope that the developers see this and make more improvements later on!Show lessPinkhokie
Fresh with Potential
The best part about it is the visuals. The earth is beautiful and the lighting and textures are top notch, especially on newer devices. It’s quite challenging and fairly gratifying. Timing the day to night is very important in finding populated areas.
I would like to see more dramatic impacts as well as the asteroids coming in from space, as is it looks more like nukes exploding on the surface instead of objects from space.
Overall, the game is clean, fast and to the point. Worth the .99, especially with future updates making it better. Great job.Show lessAldosoto
Amazing extra terrestrial view
Asteroid strategic attacking game is more than fun. If you like apocalypses then this game is for you. More of the same similar goals but the view cannot be best!! *Real review from customerThe__North__Star_________
Keeps You Occupied for a bit...
I gave this game a 3 Star because it is very finite. Although it is a puzzle game, it is not very difficult and is very short. Downloaded a little over an hour ago and I am done with it. It had some challenging points for sure, but not enough content to bring me back for more.thesson05
Not consistent
The game is a similar setup to Plague, a game which I loved. However, the only factor is the impact point itself, with no other factors like flooding or earthquakes or even environmental changes that would normal have some global effects regardless of where the asteroid hit. Also, the game tells you to maximize damage potential by targeting densely populated cities, but then have of the most densely populated cities in the world don’t seem to be big enough to warrant higher points. I don’t understand why it also doesn’t take into account shockwave damage to surrounding areas as the asteroid shots get larger. So, if you use one of the first smaller asteroids on say a city in India, you have a rating of 1.75 for multiplier points, but that doesn’t change if you wait to hit that same city until later when you have a large enough asteroid to wipe out the entire country. Likewise, you could use one of your larger asteroids to wipe out all of North America or all of Europe or east Asia, but the multiplier points would still only be around 1.20 or even 1.10....if you are wiping out an entire country because the asteroid is ten miles wide instead of half a mile wide, that doesn’t make any sense.Show lessJMag911
Developer Response
Hi JMag, the game always computes the efficiency of your strike, that is the damage in relation to the impact area of your asteroid (including the shockwave). A tiny asteroid in India will cause major damage within all of its shockwave radius, whereas a large one would release a lot of its energy into the sea (so it is less ‚efficient’ so to say). India is much more densely populated than North America, so the multiplier will always be higher there. The app uses a statistical dataset for the population distribution, so it should give fairly plausible results. Hope that makes things clear for you!
