If you had levels with a clear difficulty curve that had a guaranteed solution, this would be a lot more compelling. The art is great, and the music is good enough (if a little repetitive). Would be nice if there were sound effects for asteroids colliding or the character deaths (or as you put it, not being alive :D)."},{"author_name":"Lancey","author_uid":"27233","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 3:16am","epoch":1377486660,"text":"Really nicely done!
