I ended up running away from enemies a lot while I tried to circle around and pick them off, and noticed that they kept bunching together.  At one point I had maybe 4 of them taking up the same spot.  Also, something to indicate when a small alien is about to change back would be helpful.  I often tried to collect one just before it grew back into full size and took a chunk of health off."},{"author_name":"Saymon","author_uid":"50227","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 11:30am","epoch":1460978700,"text":"Nice work !"},{"author_name":"Drenghel","author_uid":"67582","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 11:36am","epoch":1460979060,"text":"Sounds were nice, simple but the &quot;squick&quot;  of a captured alien just make me feel good :D \r<br\/>Good controls, easy to play hard to use perfectly.

You have to think about when to shoot just to delay enemies and when to move in with the net. Graphics and sound were nice and functional although a few animations would have gone a long way.
