(I would guess due to a HUGE amount of saucers being created at once.) You have some optimization work to do."},{"author_name":"Kronics","author_uid":"52960","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:48pm","epoch":1429573380,"text":"@Jordan @crazya02 @jacketsj Yeah, scratch isn't necessarily the best host, it can get very laggy.

This was one of the better games I've seen made on it. Although this ran a bit slowly on my computer I did enjoy this game a lot.

I checked out the mini Q&A and decided it should be okay get rid of this effect. As a result, the game runs at a good pace for much of the game. And too make the game run as close to this effect as possible, I added a more manual and less pretty but less costly version. Thanks!"}],"images":["ld32\/52960-44ca18f5f79ec8c2b73015936a4868df.jpg","ld32\/52960-a611f633f608268b01f8e4cf77fd7e88.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/scratch.mit.edu\/projects\/57648768\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kaplooeyrara\/uber-trance","text":"Soundtrack"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"11089","g_author":"52960","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"11123","g_title":"Ah, Blast It!","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"423","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/52960-shot0-1429539723.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/52960-shot1-1429539723.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You play a small character trying to destroy alien UFOs attacking the planet and taking your money.
