Good implementation of the 'survive for 10 seconds in hostile environment' idea that I'm sure most of us at least considered. Didn't run too badly on Firefox - next time will definitely try it on Chrome as suggested. And there will be a next time - just had to tear myself away from it to give my rating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Having said which, a couple of quibbles:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- The graphics are great but I found that the player ship wasn't visually distinct enough from everything else and I kept losing track of exactly where I was.\r<br\/>- Not sure about forcing such a huge gamescreen size - it only just about fit on my monitor and may possibly have, on my older machine, run better and more playably had there been an option to try it at 800x600 or something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That said, one of the best entries I've played so far.

I love the pseudo-twin stick control method and it controls very well. The concept of using the time as your health and having it replenished by killing enemies and decreased by being hit is brilliant. The aesthetic is very nice too. Crisp and colourful and the sound is great too."},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 6:25am","epoch":1377670800,"text":"Nice work!
