Often, side scrolling games like these allow players to move their fingers around slightly below where they want their ship to move, and the ship then stays slightly above the finger so that it isn't covered completely by a big meaty thumb. With a bit of tweaking there, though, this actually has the makings of a game that I would probably play regularly on my phone to kill time. Well done."},{"author_name":"TeamQuadratic","author_uid":"18547","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 5:41pm","epoch":1409160960,"text":"A fun, interesting game.

Good job on the game, it's simple and easy to understand yetfun to play for a while. After some time it gets a bit boring but that's okay considering you did this in such a short amount of time. Well done!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>One more thing: although you may think the font looks good it's really hard to tell one's current score. My advice: stick with sth simpler that's more easy to read :)"},{"author_name":"whalebot","author_uid":"36369","time":"Sep 9, 2014 @ 5:16pm","epoch":1410282660,"text":"First Android Ludum Dare entry I've tried.

Game was quite fun, but got a bit boring relatively soon. Except for the usual smartphone game-control problems of your fingers occluding everything, it was really well executed!
