Got to the stage with legs on the third try - love the animation!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The control scheme is pretty cool once you get used to it, a little cumbersome at first.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Wasn't sure how to use the spiky ball."},{"author_name":"richy486","author_uid":"15135","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:14am","epoch":1346036940,"text":"Controls are different but not too crazy, i liked it"},{"author_name":"codesavage","author_uid":"14518","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 4:11am","epoch":1346040360,"text":"Interesting game, pretty fun! I like how you use the facial expressions to convey damage\/health, it works great. The random evolutions also add to the replay value. I did run into one bug where it would claim I evolved the spike ball, but wouldn't actually get the evolution. &gt;_&lt;"},{"author_name":"sudorossy","author_uid":"7905","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 1:56pm","epoch":1346075460,"text":"The controls were nice and simple, easy to pick up. It wasn't always easy to tell your health, but the idea was nice. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Loved the retro sounds though.

Good way of showing health and nice touch on the evolutions. The animations look really good and there are a lot of small things that make the feeling of impact good.

I also felt like gaining the laser made the game harder because I could no longer line up my ramming.

Great fun but I thought it actually got harder once I grew legs. Finding games with key+mouse control systems a bit awkward on my laptop so need to replay this once I get back to my desktop PC.
