I must have moved the mouse when it first loaded so I couldn't see my cube. I just heard explosions and my firing, but couldn't make sense of what was what. It was only when I used the mouse again to scan all over the sphere that I realized it wasn't an FPS, but a Third Person when I found my cube. Once I got that sorted out, it was more fun but using mouselook at all throws me off because I lose my cube again.\r\rGraphics and sounds are pretty cool!"},{"author_name":"Fernando","author_uid":"9582","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:44am","epoch":1408937940,"text":"Loved the colors and effects.

Very happy with the general feel of the game and the look of the game, but this game doesn't even have a title screen or game over condition, nor does it have a score.\r\n\r\nAnyway, still putting it out there because I still like it and I think there's some things that can be learned from the source code.","title":"ServerSphereICE"}
