Got me a while to figure that I shouldn't go forward. It looks impressive, if a bit to grey. In a Mad Max-like setting you could go all over the place with extravagant vehicle design, seems like a lost opportunity. But the way it is, with fixed controls and level design it could be a solid arcade shooter. Just drop the idea of people playing it together on the same keyboard and mouse. Even if there is another person around, it's not very comfortable."},{"author_name":"Sunflower","author_uid":"39564","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:29pm","epoch":1409059440,"text":"The controls are very counter-intuitive and bothersome; in most games you have either up\/down\/left\/right on WSAD and the direction changes instantly, or front\/back\/l. turn\/r. turn on WSAD and the direction changes over time. Here it's up\/down\/left\/right *and* the direction changes over time, which makes the vehicle a pain to control since you can't just make a delicate turn left or right. That's particularly annoying when I tried to grab power-ups.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Too bad, because the game, while very unoriginal, could be more fun to play otherwise; I'd like to see that rainbow\/aurora upgrade in action. ^^&quot;"},{"author_name":"PeteGrammarman","author_uid":"15086","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 5:35am","epoch":1409117400,"text":"Cool graphics and setup. Driving controls definitely need refinement, and maybe a little better map system. If this was a little more tightened up control-wise, it could be a real blast to play.
