Losing your engines is pretty much a sure way to die, though... and since I had to go out of my way to get them, I started to just avoid them and concentrate on dodging enemies. The controls were a bit unintuitive, and movement made it tough to last very long (only made it 3 waves in on my best playthrough)\r\rThere were some minor glitches. I was able to fly and strafe partially out of the screen, which trapped me partway into the rightmost edge of the screen, and made me a sitting duck. If a second powerup is picked up before the first one resolves, the first one's countdown timer is paused until the new one reaches 0, at which point it resumes. Also, the No Engine debuff's countdown timer appeared to count down twice as fast, though the effect still lasted for the full 10 seconds. \r\rA few places to improve. The movement felt sluggish, and with the limited screen size it was tough to avoid enemies. The controls were a bit unintuitive too; though forward\/backward movement was relative to where the mouse was pointing, Left\/Right strafing was done relative to the screen, not the mouse. This meant that, if you were heading forward with the mouse pointed toward the right, and trying to strafe left, the force would cancel each other out, and you would stop. I'd suggest either sticking with pure arrow controls, or making sure the controls are consistent.\r\rThanks for putting this together, and congrats on completing your entry!"},{"author_name":"Diptoman","author_uid":"25325","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 11:00am","epoch":1377687300,"text":"37.6 MB could be a little off putting.
