Loved the upgrades!
The "next wave in ten" however seems really unimportant, but whatever: nice graphics!

Fun game, I didn't really move from earth the whole time. Loved the flame thrower

Before I started up the game, I thought that control scheme was going to be awful. After playing it...neat. Took a little getting used to, but I like it. Got that flamethrower/plasma gun upgrade just in time!

Maybe need a mechanic to encourage moving away from the Earth sometimes? Seemed like the controls went weird and seemed to stick, sending me off in one direction and hard to get back?

Mac version doesn't seem to run. I open the jar, and the frame of the game flashes up a couple times (pure white) and then nothing.

Nice take on the theme! The game is fun and looks really nice. However, there needs to be an incentive or something to move away from the Earth otherwise I see no point to move away from it.

Good SF atmosphere. But my score is quite low ... because of mac version?

Non traditional controls are a little hard to get used too. I thought the earth healthbar was part of the level. Should have had that off to side/hud somewhere else

It was fun and good!
keep it up!

Nice space shooter :) Everything was OK. I couldn't advance many floats, but I will definetely come back to this.

Pretty solid shooter, with decent power-ups. I didn't see any good reason to move away from the Earth though (probably need drops of some kind?)

This game is really addicting! I like it loads. I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvnhwc_j5Mo
