The controls are all quite responsive, and the background movement gave a very dynamic feel to the game. I enjoyed it quite a lot.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Two minor quibbles:\r<br\/>- In the starting screen, there is no indication that you must press Z to select &quot;start game&quot;. I tried pressing enter, space, control... after about 2 or 3 minutes of a lot of confusion, I pressed Z :-P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- The flower boss, the health bar is quite unnoticeable. Maybe make it stand out a little bit more?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks a lot for the game!"},{"author_name":"howieV (binarygirl)","author_uid":"8824","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:15pm","epoch":1335204600,"text":"good effort :) i like the music especially"},{"author_name":"kTwitch","author_uid":"12394","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 9:34pm","epoch":1335216540,"text":"Quite fun! It's funny that simply allowing the player to change direction amounted in such a unique experience.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wasn't a fan of the music or sound effects, and the graphics blended together a bit too much, but nice job!"},{"author_name":"robcozzens","author_uid":"10944","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 4:55am","epoch":1335415800,"text":"I would try it if you had a Web or OSX version."},{"author_name":"TenTonToon","author_uid":"11273","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 6:47am","epoch":1335508920,"text":"Nice, mindless fun! :) I found having to push a button to change direction distracting at first, but when I got the hang of it, it really made a difference. The controls are tight and the action, relentless.\r<br\/>And that's the most vicious flower I've ever seen! :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>having GM Lite embed a watermark INSIDE the game sucks! :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Congratulations!

Although the controls felt a bit awkward at first and the gameplay seemed a bit too random where sometimes it was impossible to avoid things, especially with the small game window."},{"author_name":"R3ason","author_uid":"6105","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 7:59am","epoch":1335599640,"text":"Heh, pretty fun! Thank you for tying the shooting to a KeyPress event, rather than KeyDown.  This really made the direction switching easy as you only have to worry about tapping one key...  Also agree that explaining to hit the &quot;Z&quot; on the menu select would be a bit of a help.  Thanks for sharing your game!"},{"author_name":"Moth","author_uid":"811","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 8:00am","epoch":1335599700,"text":"A nice little danmaku game for 48 hours! Very quick and frenetic. Some of the camera motions were quite jarring! I am really bad at these kinds of games so I had to retry a few times :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The pattern for the flower boss was pretty cool! I had a tough time avoiding all the shots (I don't think I focused enough on figuring out the hitbox). I like that the game has a nice menu system, I feel that helps to make the presentation nice and tidy.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I thought the ending was pretty funny- not because of the actual content of it, but rather because I wasn't expecting a development like that to happen at all! It seemed like such a stark change in mood :P"},{"author_name":"Cake&amp;Code","author_uid":"10976","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 1:33am","epoch":1335662880,"text":"A fun little game, the mechanic to switch directions is definitely something you don't see enough of in games like this! Really nicely done with that idea.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That flower was one tough cookie but I had fun fighting it and the bombs really helped out in a pinch. Felt balanced and extremely responsive so well done! :)"},{"author_name":"Pacifist Games","author_uid":"10510","time":"May 10, 2012 @ 1:16am","epoch":1336612260,"text":"I thought the game was quite fun, but the concept was a little silly.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This game is seriously fun. The whole concept of a fairy firing heavy weaponry at chickens while they shoot bubblegum at her is a trainwreck in the best kind of way. I especially like the awesome power of the power ups. Never got to the second level but the first level was solid gold on it's own. Nice work."},{"author_name":"pokefan","author_uid":"11951","time":"May 12, 2012 @ 5:16pm","epoch":1336842660,"text":"Good game, graphics suck"},{"author_name":"JaJ","author_uid":"5496","time":"May 12, 2012 @ 5:17pm","epoch":1336842720,"text":"I laughed when I saw the title &quot;little girl&quot; in combination with the controls &quot;X - bomb&quot; and &quot;Z - shoot&quot; and continued when I saw that all the enemies where shooting what seemed like deadly hearts.
