Although racking up massive scores got a little easy when there was a single block of ground left: you could very easily always block it from leaving the screen. :)"},{"author_name":"Sheep","author_uid":"5959","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 9:40am","epoch":1335173700,"text":"Thanks.

I liked the whole theme for the game. I did however find the game a bit too easy and I stopped playing once I realised I could pretty much not lose! All you have to do is hold the mouse button down and hold it above a patch of dirt, then when an alien takes the dirt it just flys up into your mouse cursor. You can also just jump on the same spot to ensure nothing gets past.\r\rNevertheless, really well polished fun game. The addition of online highscores is also excellent!\r\rWell done! :)"},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"10217","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 11:36am","epoch":1335526260,"text":"Alas, I have a mac. :C"},{"author_name":"CappaGames","author_uid":"12184","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 9:46pm","epoch":1335562860,"text":"I loved the whole concept of trading dirt for technology and then having no earth left to live on."},{"author_name":"chambers","author_uid":"11981","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 8:20am","epoch":1335600900,"text":"This is a very neat gameplay idea and the story was funny. I like the music a lot too! It's amazing you made more than one piece of music!\r\rA few issues that emerged from the mechanics the way they're implemented right now were:\r\r-Is the special attack any useful at all considering the enemies' behaviour?\r-The end of the game tends to become a small piece of vertical land tiles. You can simply keep bouncing on top of the aliens that try to steal them forever; I gave up doing that after 5000pts.\r\rApart from that, gameplay is fun and I felt the player can always improve his abilities and try again, which is great for an endless game.\r\rAlso, I think I'd prefer if using the shotgun killed all enemies within the line of shooting, instead of only affecting a small area, but this is only my personal opinion =P\r\rGood idea to include an online highscore chart!\r\rKudos!"},{"author_name":"madflame991","author_uid":"5035","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 12:55pm","epoch":1336308600,"text":"This is friggin impossible!
