It was fun and relaxing invasion of earth. Would be great deployed on a tablet.\r\rCould have been improved by 1. music, and 2. if the talking bit didn't interrupt the gameplay. 3. if the menu didn't use the keyboard, really threw me off.

Using Chrome on Mac Lion :( Sad - I was looking forward to trying this!\r\r----\r\rUpdate: Retried and it worked - perhaps add a preloader? WOW - this game is awesome. Hands down my favourite! Dropping a 5\/5 here! Possible improvements:\r * Being able to chose what orbit the satellite goes into (higher orbits -> slower speed -> less expensive)\r * Music\r\rI love how the costs are actually realistic - kind of gives a grim reality check on the space industry :P The dialog as the humans get defeated is hilarious!\r\rAMAZING WORK!"},{"author_name":"aaronsnoswell","author_uid":"5348","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 2:22pm","epoch":1335190620,"text":"Question - did you use a game engine?
