Well done."},{"author_name":"Elenesski","author_uid":"57748","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:53am","epoch":1440474480,"text":"good idea.  making the start game and fire the same button made it hard to see the score when I finally got smucked."},{"author_name":"Andrew Deem","author_uid":"25356","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 4:31am","epoch":1440476760,"text":"I love the beam effect.

It gets really intense when there are a lot of garden invaders chasing you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only gripe with the gameplay is the garden invaders can spawn on or next to you. I'd make it so they can only appear offscreen.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As MapleQuest mentioned, some simple sound effects would have been very beneficial.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the animations. Even though I suppose they're not really impressive from a technical animation standpoint, they're really lively.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The particle effects are nice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like how you can scorch the leaves off the trees.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice job!"},{"author_name":"mooncalf","author_uid":"56703","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 5:08pm","epoch":1440522180,"text":"Lol, das baby schlaft nicht. XD\r<br\/>Man, audio would have been great, oh well.  The particles while charging were nice.  I love to have a beam charging so that, when I die, I can blast my killer, saying &quot;You're comin' with me, #@$%^!&quot;  Oh, and yes, I said KamehameHAAAA quite a few times.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice job!"},{"author_name":"collaboration","author_uid":"57976","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 12:33pm","epoch":1440592080,"text":"If I get it right - I am the Illuminatti eye killing other Illuminattis without an eye?

Graphical elements like the particles and the tree and grass swaying bring a real cohesion to the goofy aesthetic, and smooth motion of your monster's dilating pupil juxtaposes nicely with amorphous eyes of those invading isosceles wannabes.
