Is it an original composition or something else?\r\rThe gameplay is solid but a little simple. I think one of the biggest improvements would be acceleration and deceleration of the ship, or some kind of mechanic related to the bullets.\r\rAlso, the P button to shoot was difficult because it's too close to the Arrow Keys and thus gets my hands cramped up.\r\rNice job, keep it up!"},{"author_name":"johnnymallie","author_uid":"21404","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 3:53pm","epoch":1367336880,"text":"Hello Arcana, The main music come from http:\/\/www.nosoapradio.us\/"},{"author_name":"smealum","author_uid":"22789","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 4:10pm","epoch":1367337900,"text":"nice start but the game felt much too easy. there wasn't really any point in moving around and one-shot kills when the enemies are so slow felt overpowered. so as I said, good start, but you could probably make it a much more interesting game !"},{"author_name":"Jonny D","author_uid":"654","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 4:12pm","epoch":1367338020,"text":"Using premade music isn't allowed, but the game is decent in its own right.
