Very challenging!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics are exactly what they need to be, and the song is nice and soothing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Would have liked more freedom of movement - annoying to have to repeatedly press the controls rather than being able to hold them down. The turn radius also didn't seem to be quite consistent (eg. 4 button presses left turns me around 180, 4 button presses right gets me further than 180). This made movement a bit unpredictable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, highly rated. Well done."},{"author_name":"Nition","author_uid":"34406","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:53am","epoch":1398664080,"text":"Excellent interpretation of the theme."},{"author_name":"Liens","author_uid":"33982","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:54am","epoch":1398664140,"text":"A little slow for my taste, and it was hard to tell how much control you had over movement.

It took me a few goes to realize it was looking for GetKeyDown, not GetKey, each press and release of a key rotates the direction. The speed of the 'monster' and the size of the sandbox makes it very hard to control. A long comment because otherwise I thought this was very clever =]"},{"author_name":"Andrew Adams","author_uid":"20321","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1398705360,"text":"Nice.
