She didn't liked it :( She is picky though. I quite liked the game even if we didn't played long.\r\rBut I have to say the ship movement is really tricky, I guess some practice is needed to master it. Maybe it could be simplified?\r\rThis mechanic were you can create walls, and regarding their color, they let the bullet pass or bounce it. That's brilliant!"},{"author_name":"Canyon","author_uid":"6228","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 6:39am","epoch":1367476440,"text":"@Dir3kt\rThanks for trying it out 2 player man. Much appreciated. I really enjoyed your game.\rI agree, I was worried the movement was going to be tricky. \rRight now, left and right, turn you anti-clockwise\/clockwise and forward moves you in the direction. \r\rIt would be more intuitive if left moves you left, right moves you right etc etc.\r\rI felt I had to let the player turn independently of their movement so they could place a wall to the left of them but not move left (if that makes sense). I think the game would play a lot better with controllers though.\r\rIf anyone has any suggestions, I will try it out and put it in the post compo version."},{"author_name":"Canyon","author_uid":"6228","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 1:40pm","epoch":1367501700,"text":"I've updated the controls to make it hopefully more logical.
