In fact the game is prety fun when you understand that you have to stop hammering the fire button.

I'd prefer a control set-up where the action keys (in this case fire) and the control keys are on different sides of the keyboard.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics were the high point for me, a nice mix between contemporary effects and retro. Next time I'd suggest you try to add some SFX as well. Adding sound makes a huge difference in how polished the game feels."},{"author_name":"plancien","author_uid":"25374","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1387199400,"text":"Well balanced.

What a cool game :) The art was fantastic, the gameplay was clean. The controls were intuitive. Truly great work.
