You may want to look into other deployment options (there are a few other Love based games on here that ran without a problem)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A+ for innovation! This is a really really clever mechanic. I love that enemies that you miss on the left screen turn into much bigger problems on the right screen. This is clever enough for me to give 5\/5 fun even though it's still a bit rough. Good use of theme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>No sound, could use it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics are programmer art with no special effects. They get the job done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really cool idea. Work with it!
