It's as intense 10,000 points in as it is at the beginning. The enemies could use some properties, such as HP, speed, or moving in a wave pattern to make some of them harder to destroy.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Noticed my ship started firing blanks after a while. Was that intended, or due to stress on the garbage collection?

It seems always the same. Try to offer more variety and new challenges. Note: The ship is not centered. Is the bottom-right corner of the ship that is centered."},{"author_name":"h.attila","author_uid":"8403","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 12:29am","epoch":1356135840,"text":"It's not bad, but it's too easy and doesn't get any harder as you progress through the game.

Perhaps an in-game introduction of sorts?  The controls were pretty fluid, and the graphics were all right, as was the music.  Why did you include someone else's game (LD25.exe) in your folder as well, though?  That all being said, I think this was a good game in every other aspect, keep up the good work.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, just out of curiousity, are you the same Bobrocket from the Terraria forums?  If so, fancy meeting you here as a competitor at these competitions.  Though I guess not so much, since I took part in the Jam, not the Compo, but still.

I would have been able to play forever if my ship hadn't started firing blanks.  It also seems that some of the enemy ships wouldn't register being hit.
