We actually thought of using the keyboard for the controls, but for this song, it'd be too hard (the music is very fast). If we continue to develop the game, it'll probably use keyboard controls (and some modifier key like Shift to make it turn faster)."},{"author_name":"block97","author_uid":"51145","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:49am","epoch":1429587840,"text":"Simple, but very well designed game.

Like most good music and rhythm games, I am terrible at it but nevertheless enjoy it. The mouse-requiring control is uncommon, as is the spinning the cursor, but it is a good mechanic, if a little hard for me to adapt to. I am also unsure if the post-song scores are accurate. Even when I only visibly counted about five missed notes (that I noticed - I could be far off), the game gave me an accuracy of 21.36%, with 135 hit notes and 158 missed. Not only is that accuracy off (unless it is accounting for more detailed measurements than the game reveals), but I'm pretty sure there weren't that many notes in the song.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>...or I could simply be oblivious to half the notes. Entirely possible. ;) Great and addictive game, though!"},{"author_name":"dopplerdefekt","author_uid":"25349","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:14am","epoch":1429600140,"text":"@cdrch Looks like I swapped the totalNotes and the missedNotes variable =\/ \r<br\/>\r<br\/>That accuracy value is weird though... this is the code that I'm using for calculating it:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>accuracy = (goodNotes\/totalNotes) * 100\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Going to investigate both those issues tomorrow and upload a fixed version.

Your only way to fight back is a mirror you found on your spaceship's remains.\r\n\r\nUse your mouse to control the angle of the player. Point the mirror in the direction of the shots to reflect them. The more consecutive shots you reflect, the more points you earn.\r\n\r\nNotes\r\n=====\r\n\r\nThis game was our last try in participating on the Jam. The two ideas we had before that were scrapeed mid-development, so we had only 24h to create this.
