FaceWound has been dubbed a “2D NEXTGEN PLATFORMER,” in this case meaning a platformer with a large array of weapons decent art, beautiful animation and, of course, a great physics engine. Fight off hordes of zombies/aliens/mutated bugs in enough levels to warrant not counting. Create your own weapons, characters and maps in this fully customizable build.

A sweet little platformer, that is incredibly addictive even while devoid of any ounce of plot. Playing the game is highly amusing and surprisingly easy to use on the Samsung’s touchpad. I particularly enjoy the rag-doll physics the enemies (and the player) take on. My legs quake at the sight of FaceWounds shinny (and bouncy) water, its heat hazes caused by various fires/explosions and the distorting effects of the lazer weapons. With its cool explosions with good looking particle effects this is a serious contender for the “Best time wasting software on my netbook” award 2009.

How It Went On The Samsung NC10:

Installation:

Doesn’t require an install just unpack and play!

Optimizing Performance:

There are no graphic options in game, however if you download the launcher then you can set the resolution to whatever you prefer. I found that full screen was a bit too much for Sammy, giving out a 14fps MAX, I changed it to windowed mode 720x576 and received a much more acceptable 21fps as the maximum. Perfectly playable and damn enjoyable too.

Issues With Gameplay:

As stated before, this game is doable with just the touchpad, and on the Samsung nc10 that is a statement and a half, obviously a mouse would make you much more kickass at the game, but that goes without saying (so I didn’t just say it, ok?).  

Is It Worth it?

Did you not just read this glowing review, or even glance at the price? If you are looking for a game to not play, look else where.
