My only real criticism is all the ads you have to go through on Mediafire to download your game!"},{"author_name":"semi","author_uid":"6429","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 6:16pm","epoch":1367259060,"text":"Nice concept, and great execution! I like how the player is not much tougher than the individual enemies and that it's all about how well the ball is handled. Well done!"},{"author_name":"unclechristmas","author_uid":"12116","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 6:22pm","epoch":1367259420,"text":"Unique idea, simple yet fun."},{"author_name":"galman","author_uid":"5971","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 7:55pm","epoch":1367265000,"text":"Nice concept!

I liked it!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wish that there was more done with it, though. I know that this is a minimalist challenge, but the minimalism came, I think, from being able to only attack by attracting a ball. It would have been nice to have different kinds of enemies that reacted differently for some varied challenge.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, I think that the playfield is too small. In order for you to attack, you need to have the enemies between yourself and the attack ball. The problem is that this is often impossible to do without taking damage because the playfield gets so crowded."},{"author_name":"Diamonde","author_uid":"19050","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 12:04pm","epoch":1367755140,"text":"Very impressed with how solid the gameplay is.
