Very relaxing to wobble around the screen.\r\rI agree with Mixer, it would be nice to have a few seconds to work out the controls before the enemies start spawning; it's not immediately obvious what effect tapping has.\r\rIt might also be nice to have the world wrap asteroids-style -- one you're off the screen, it's almost impossible to get back on."},{"author_name":"cbear_wallis","author_uid":"27018","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:18pm","epoch":1429621980,"text":"It's pretty cool, I can see this getting better with a little more work.
