Sometimes powerups would show up far away from where the enemies were headed, such that there was no way I could get the powerup, but it did tempt me to go over there, so maybe that's not such a flaw afterall."},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:32pm","epoch":1418052420,"text":"Hi there.
