I was tired and forgot to write that you aim the orbs with the mouse, and shoot with space. Sorry, kind of important I know, I've added that info now.

One thing that feels unfair is that the heroes can kill minions even after they're dead while minions instantly disappear; but other than that it's a cool little minigame.

Very nice graphical style :) I noticed a couple of bugs:\r- It seems you can still shoot after restarting if you previously had an orb, even though it says you don't have any\r- Hero guys still kill you when they're in the process of dying\rAlso the controls are very difficult when using a mouse left-handed - arrow keys + space is awkward - but it's an uncommon case, so no big worry :)"},{"author_name":"Soggyclog","author_uid":"3223","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 7:19am","epoch":1355987640,"text":"Thanks for the bug reports Scherble!
