Art was cute and serviceable, although it would have been nice to have the asteroids have some detail on them. Music was repetitive but weirdly catchy. I had some issues with frame drop, but it was still playable. Minor collision issue: it would have been nice to have asteroids disappear when they're inside my planet, as then I have no way of dealing with them. Good concept!"},{"author_name":"shaunxcode","author_uid":"11183","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 2:33am","epoch":1335320880,"text":"bah that is what I get for spending all my time coding and none of my time testing other than on my two laptops :-(. Discovered some memory leaks that affect windows relating to sound which I will be fixing for post comp version (which will also have a title screen, the rest of the images for the blobs of space slime or what ever, and a proper ending hah). thanks for the feedback!"},{"author_name":"Steve Cochrane","author_uid":"12266","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 5:28am","epoch":1335331380,"text":"That was fun!
