It seems to be a really addictive game.\r\rI'm not so sure about using the mouse to aim your shooting, I would test how an always "forward cannon" would work.\r\rAnyway great entry!"},{"author_name":"Zupoman","author_uid":"34292","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 11:32am","epoch":1409052420,"text":"These green spaceships are such tough bastards... I think that the delay between crashing and respawning is a bit too long, it's slightly annoying. As others said, the mouse aiming seems a little counter-intuitive here, since everyone would expect the ship to simply shoot forward. Game is great, though, I love it."},{"author_name":"prophile","author_uid":"7892","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 11:36am","epoch":1409052660,"text":"Having tried out the ship shooting forward, it doesn't play well. Maybe some kind of auto-aim, or a key to latch to the nearest planet and mouse-aim? Difficult to say.\r\rThanks for the feedback."},{"author_name":"Literal Games","author_uid":"26056","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 2:34pm","epoch":1409063340,"text":"It's not very clear at first that the mouse controls where you shoot. Cool game though, very arcadey and should have a score counter! Nice music too, really suits the game"},{"author_name":"stoz","author_uid":"5677","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 2:38pm","epoch":1409063580,"text":"Interesting concept! However, tying everything to the mouse makes it unnecessarily frustrating. If you had a button that would just tether you to the nearest planet, rather than having to right-click that planet, it would free up the mouse entirely for shooting.\r\rStill, I like the direction it's going overall!"},{"author_name":"pighead10","author_uid":"8539","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1409073360,"text":"Pretty addictive and fun game.

You shouldn't have to use the mouse for both controlling the ship and aiming, this way the best strategy I've found was never to turn but stay the course you were launched from the green planet and use the mouse only for shooting."},{"author_name":"egor-idiot","author_uid":"23565","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 1:45pm","epoch":1409319600,"text":"Interesting idea of flying."},{"author_name":"plash","author_uid":"14542","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 10:26pm","epoch":1409350860,"text":"Wow! This is challenging. Bullet range is so short :<\r\rThe respawn delay does feel too long, but I can't complain too much when I have infinite lives.
