Really nice work for a newcomer :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I have very little to say, to be honest. Solid work, although it gets a bit boring after ten rounds. :)"},{"author_name":"Mclogenog","author_uid":"14996","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 5:04am","epoch":1377493140,"text":"Congrats on your first game!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not sure the level needs to be quite so big, and I think you could start with more elements in in the level, so that restarting didn't feel like going all of the way back. I also like the way the different pieces interact, especially the repulsors. (It would be lovely to have baddies chasing you and have them bounce off to their deaths.)"},{"author_name":"munchor","author_uid":"7348","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 3:37pm","epoch":1377531120,"text":"Great job for your first completed game!
