The controls seemed sloppy in that, hard-to-define way. I stopped playing after a platform I was standing on moved out from underneath me.\r\rThe audio is good. The graphics are certainly not bad but there's something I don't like about them, like everything is too shiny or something and it feels very artificial. Also, the tiny ship and buildings are nice but they really don't do enough to give a sense of scale.\r\rEven though I don't think it's much fun, it's REALLY hard to make an FPS-like game in 72h; good job on this!"},{"author_name":"zazery","author_uid":"2362","time":"May 9, 2012 @ 7:57pm","epoch":1336593120,"text":"I didn't develop a good understanding of the collision volumes so I found myself dying a lot.
