Getting the hang of them is a lot if fun. Like that I'm fighting against gravity all the time. Only lasted 92 seconds, but it was a fun 92 seconds!"},{"author_name":"DaveDobson","author_uid":"10977","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 5:43am","epoch":1335159480,"text":"Very hard to control the ship - made it a little frustrating. Otherwise, quite fun, and it looks very nice. More of a plot would help. I liked the shrinking and warping planet."},{"author_name":"Lacutis","author_uid":"11378","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 5:10pm","epoch":1335200700,"text":"I like classic arcade games, and it was fun. Saying that though the controls were really difficult. Also, at one point an asteroid pinned me against the planet and I couldnt move. Still, a fun game! \r\rAlso, having some kind of end goal, like X asteroids destroyed would have been nice. Maybe, asteroids drop minerals and after X minerals you get a defense outpost at one corner of the planet. Once you get four of them the planet is safe."},{"author_name":"smvilar","author_uid":"11771","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1335214440,"text":"Really hard to master the controls."},{"author_name":"invaderJim","author_uid":"2117","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 4:38am","epoch":1335241980,"text":"I agree with everyone else that the controls take some getting used to, but the graphics and camera movement are really nice! Also, I would have liked to have been able to destroy the planet myself.\r\rAnd I think the world could have been a little bigger."},{"author_name":"zenasprime","author_uid":"11485","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 5:12pm","epoch":1335287220,"text":"Overall an interesting design. It needed a bit more game testing. It was really difficult to control the ship and navigate around your little world."},{"author_name":"AirRider3","author_uid":"7398","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1335457680,"text":"Very fun! It was challenging! Great graffics, I really like them!\r\rMaybe a nice background music could be a thing to add."},{"author_name":"Ben","author_uid":"10911","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 10:17pm","epoch":1335478320,"text":"Very nicely made, especially liked the graphics. My only thing was I think that you shouldn't overheat as quickly. Either way though, very good job!"},{"author_name":"namuol","author_uid":"12236","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 3:46am","epoch":1335498060,"text":"Controls are realistic which is cool, but it's frustrating because it's so damn hard to destroy the asteroids. My suggestion would be to make them one-shot-kill. I don't mind drunken-rocket-flying around space as long as I can do it for more than 2 minutes at a time. ;)\r\rNice SFX\/GFX and controls, though!"},{"author_name":"spooks","author_uid":"5110","time":"Apr 30, 2012 @ 2:40pm","epoch":1335796500,"text":"Great premise, sound and graphics, just which the controls were a little tighter, other than that though, well done!"},{"author_name":"tcstyle","author_uid":"4834","time":"May 4, 2012 @ 8:09pm","epoch":1336161840,"text":"I like the basic idea, the physics work, the graphics are good and the sounds fit.
