The game is really cool, but I found one bug in the game that initially made it very frustrating.  While you can use both WASD and the arrow keys to control, the up arrow key doesn't work the same a W.  Once you land once the up arrow will let you take off but not let you go any higher than a few pixels from the surface, which made it super difficult to attack without getting hit.  Once I switched to WASD, it was a lot easier to control."},{"author_name":"Xaychru04","author_uid":"16472","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 9:14pm","epoch":1398892140,"text":"Yeah like dalbinnlue said, it's easier with W rather than the up arrow, I finished a few more levels when I discovered it. ^^\r<br\/>I liked the idea of breaking the planet's surface to reach the core, the gameplay was a little repetitive but the animations were great, the sfx were hilarous too, so the game was fun to play on the overall! :)"},{"author_name":"GamerTaters","author_uid":"35352","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 9:49am","epoch":1398937440,"text":"I wish I could have been able to skip past the intro screens between levels.

A bit hard to kill the tank though as i couldn't fly up again but hiding behind the planet saved me most of the time. The difficulty grows nicely.
