Like a bullet-hell version of Contra.  Excellent audio and interface, really cool stuff, works well with the low resolution window.  It took me a while, but I completed it with 11\/12 stars.  I found level one to be the most difficult.  Maybe one turret would be enough to get players used to it.  The one-liners are great.  A melee weapon would be fun for really dismantling the droids.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I ran it using the source, and I had to change the audio file names to lowercase or the game crashed.  The main file is executable, but it only runs when called by python as a script.  Otherwise, it runs fine from source."},{"author_name":"AsixJin","author_uid":"30137","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 2:30am","epoch":1418178300,"text":"Nice use of the theme but I was kinda lost....Those enemies were tearing me up and I wasn't to sure if I was doing damage the right way."},{"author_name":"Topaz Studios","author_uid":"44473","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 3:41am","epoch":1418182560,"text":"Hehe, we ran out of time so balance was done really quickly, in hindsight probably things we coulda done better.

I like the attention paid to the presentation between rounds, but once i'm in control i found it was a lot less clear.
