It needs some fine-tuning to make it really fun, but the potential is there for something really great. I really appreciate the attention to innovation, here. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Yogr","author_uid":"18818","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:58pm","epoch":1355773980,"text":"Cool game. I like the idea.

That really feels good after this tough weekend !\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Yes, I know : the game is hard but that's a manic shooter genre prerequisite, isn't it :)\r<br\/>I reckon the game elements are rather small and make reading the screen somewhat difficult but here are a few tips that might help :\r<br\/>- keep your eyes firmly on the little demon at all times\r<br\/>- play with static \/ movement to lure the bullets where you want\r<br\/>- don't be greedy, wait for the right moment, especially pattern changes.\r<br\/>- you have to pack the blocks, of course, but not too much either.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In all honesty, I didn't beat the game myself. I was too exhausted. But I managed to get to 71 % completion. I guess with a little bit more training and pattern learning, it is doable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyways, thanks again for giving it a try !"},{"author_name":"Alex Rose","author_uid":"19499","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 9:38am","epoch":1355823180,"text":"This was a really interesting idea!"},{"author_name":"Cat Burton","author_uid":"7513","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 9:42am","epoch":1355823420,"text":"A really nice concept but a bit too difficult for me unfortunately."},{"author_name":"dek","author_uid":"11517","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 11:16pm","epoch":1355872260,"text":"Nice concept, interesting graphics, but I could not finish it :\/"},{"author_name":"Jiddo","author_uid":"11351","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 9:40am","epoch":1355909700,"text":"Fun little game that I could see myself returning to if the screen was a bit larger.
