They are genuinely minimalist meaning that they look great through simplicity, rather than just being basic. I'm impressed by how entertaining you made the game. I ran the web version and it ran just fine; no lag at all. And the black hole is kind of evil!"},{"author_name":"nodoxi","author_uid":"2154","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:41am","epoch":1367231760,"text":"Very nice minimalistic graphics!"},{"author_name":"nicotuason","author_uid":"21669","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:42am","epoch":1367231820,"text":"Man that was a HUGE asteroid!
