That is the craziest choice of menu music dude...crazy.

On the game, I don't really like it. I find it too hard to locate enemies.

Search around. In a war you can't find an exact location of the enemy so you have tosearch and destroy.

It needs a small map (bigger scale) in the corner, so you can at least localize yourself.
It also needs an 'enemies left' counter.

And is it just me or the soundfiles you use sound quite familiar to me. Especially when you post it on this forum ;)

I have a K6-3 400, so I do not know if the game runs smoothly, seeing it graphics it should run smoothly in a 486 but do now worry, I saw a crosswords program that asked for a Pentium II to run, now programmers do not care about specs too much. Even I would like the contrary. I see that the speed is higher in other comps becuz in the mission it runs too slowly. Great menu music(I love blue da ba dee), put music in the game . It also would be good to be able to move the torret or the game will become boring in a figth that the only thing you can do is fire and expect that the enemy dont do the same. I agree with other suggestions.
Even though I cannot say if it could be good with these changes or not, I just find its speed really annoying.

Graphic 8.666/10 to 10/10
Sound 5/10 to 10/10(put music when playing and I will increase 4 points)
Maps ?/10 to 10/10(It would be boring to move on maps with this comp)
Gameplay 2/10 to 10/10(5/10 if turret movement implemented,7/10 in a computer where this game runs smoothly)
AI ?/10 to 10/10(had not tested it)
Final rating 4/10 to 10/10(much better than any game I could make :))

Graphics 6/10 -Simple graphics for a game that needs simple graphics. Gets the job done.
Sound 5/10 -A little more variation would be nice...
Maps 5/10 -Not much to say...they're pretty simple, and I guess that's what you want. It's a little confusing if you don't know what you're doing at first.
Gameplay 6/10 -I've seen an engine for GM like this before...actually, I've worked with it. If you would use all of the features of it, this would be better. This is a little confusing too...
AI 5/10 -I don't know what I want to see, but I want to see something I can't do. :P
Final rating 5/10 -It's ok...if you had some help with some elements, and added in other features like online play, it'd be great. (if you ever want someone to work with you on it, or on a sequel, i'm here [;)])

Speaking of that NuZZ... lol your total avatar/sig size is 94.5 KB ;) too big lol

My hint - learn how to compress your GIFs :P

example:

Here is your current sig pic:
[IMAGE]
47.21 KB

Here is the pic after I compressed it:
[IMAGE]
3.11 KB

It's 93% smaller.

93%...
