A lot of content. I like the way you show that I failed: &quot;Look this is the Earth,  it has not exploded&quot;. Hyper repetitive music fits the game. I like that you made a animation that shows the transference to another AI. \r<br\/>Some more music, a bit slicker graphics some more upgrades and I can imagine being a nice game to play on a mobile device."},{"author_name":"goulding57","author_uid":"18642","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 9:31pm","epoch":1356125160,"text":"Screenshots look good, but I can't run windows.

The graphics were funny (lol at that bald army guy on lvl2), and I liked the audio, but it's a shame the music didn't loop seamlessly.
