Simple but fun. Played it for at least half an hour! Nice graphics aswell. However, the sound could be a little more decent. It's too loud and quite annoying imho.\r<br\/>Great game tho!\r<br\/>My highscore is 550. Can you guys beat it? :)"},{"author_name":"bace1000","author_uid":"51950","time":"Apr 19, 2015 @ 8:51pm","epoch":1429476360,"text":"That was really fun.

Once you got the upgrades it became easy. An the hearts never disappeared so was easy to get health.\r<br\/>Liked the art style and sounds were good too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Highscore: 6250 (until I gave up)"},{"author_name":"Sri Harsha Chilakapati","author_uid":"22490","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 1:35pm","epoch":1429536600,"text":"Good game. Would be more awesome if you added a background music.

The gameplay is also very consistent. Played at least for 20 minutes.

One thing that I find annoying is the different graphic style between the different assets, you should try to standarize it so it doesn't feel out of place.

I scored 5600 and then I stopped playing because it was too easy. I could just stand still and shoot the enemies with my mouse.
