[...] and I launched our “Bunkers” project, which we eventually named Fox Fyre. It is now available here on this website. It’s a strategy game, not a “oh hey set your angle and fire” [...]
Goal: Destroy all enemies within 60 seconds. Basic and simple, but I don’t get why there must be a time limit instead of a “quit” button. 8/10
Controls: Mouse/arrows to aim and shoot, letters Q, W and E to change bunkers and number keys to change weapons. The arrows should be used to move the bunkers, but there’s no movement. 8/10
Gameplay: The fact that you can’t move the bunkers combined with the limited aim is clearly annoying, as you can’t reach certain enemies. The landscape makes it even worse, as it’s raised/deteriorated with certain weapons, making it impossible to reach enemies. 5/10
Graphics: Simply beautiful. The landscape is colourful and the background is a space environment. It would be perfect if it wasn’t for the bunkers. 9/10
Music: The music kinda makes you feel like you’re in outer space. Pretty listenable. 9/10
Sound: Meh… I just think the sound is okay. 7/10
Loading: Did that load? Man, I didn’t even noticed! 10/10
Replay: I decided to replay “Accessories” with this brand-new category. I enjoy playing it again some more time or so, but the feeling fades away with the mediocre gameplay tactics. 7/10
Difficulty: Once again, the gameplay makes the game more difficult, and sometimes I get confused with the bunker/weapon change letters. 6/10
Fun: The gameplay and difficulty spoil the fun, but since there’s a campaign mode, I kinda get amused. Plus the fact shooting bunkers down is fun. 7/10
Overall Score: 76/100
Conclusion: You didn’t make a new game in some times, and this game is good. Hopefully you will make more of these.
This game was pretty tough, I lost the first campaign at level 8 and couldn’t get past it. I’m confused about multiple bunkers, do they just some times fire a weapon when you’re not controlling them? I ended up just using the other bunkers for things you don’t have to aim and defense because it was a big hassle to try and aim multiple bunkers.
Later on I stacked 2 bunkers with air support and 1 with EMT and Power Shields, and that trivialized the game.
I liked the game, for sure, and I was really impressed with the ground wiggle when fire hits it.
I don’t know why, but for some reason, I found that I couldn’t change weapon with the number keys, thus meaning that I was forced to do it by clicking on the things, and this was annoying, but as no-one else has had this problem, I shall assume that it is just me. A very good game.
Nico, the game was probably made on a windows so when you download it
it will say that you downloaded a windows application or you do not have permission to run tis program.
an easy way to get money is to just retry the level you just lost. all your bunkers will have only 1 health, but you should get about 50,000 dollars depending on how long you last.
Beautiful, spiritual game. I love the terrain, the setting and especially the music. The only thing that confuses me is the gameplay, as I find it hard to switch between bunkers and the time limit is hard to deal with. Other than that, the game is just incredible.

really nice game great creation
April 8th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Really liked the gameplay, especially where it shows you where it will fall.
I also like Mr. Nuke…

It is insanely difficult to aim and keep the aim steady, therefore aking it a whole production trying to find the perfect aim and then holding it.
Despite that, the game’s design is beautiful. I love how the ground is an aurora. Easily a 4 out of 5! Great first RTS, John!

March 30th, 2010 at 5:38 am
a fun game, but game, but the time limit makes it overly hard. maybe 2 minutes would be better?
