I eventually dropped it, but I see you managed to recreate the old arcade feeling well with your game. Space Invaders is perfect for this kind of role reversal.\r<br\/>The graphics and sound effects are alright. The game plays well, but the enemy can take way too much damage, and the music quickly becomes repetitive."},{"author_name":"munchor","author_uid":"7348","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:04am","epoch":1355741940,"text":"Too bad the sound gets in my nerves.
