I think it was because I associated pressing right with rotating clockwise, but I was actually controlling the alien walking rather than the planet's rotation."},{"author_name":"kTwitch","author_uid":"12394","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:51pm","epoch":1335206760,"text":"Thanks for the comment! And yeah I struggled with that because it would definitely be more intuitive to do it reverse like you suggested, but aesthetically it looks nicer for the alien to be walking forwards around the planet."},{"author_name":"Fenyx","author_uid":"2976","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1335216600,"text":"It was rather confusing what you should do, and there wasn't much to do once it was figured out. It's an amusing little toy, but becomes uninteresting once figured out. I didn't have audio, but the graphics were consistent and it certainly fit with the theme. It was also easy to get into, but like I said, didn't hold attention for very long."},{"author_name":"shaunxcode","author_uid":"11183","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 2:30am","epoch":1335320700,"text":"wow this was good. first entry I've been able to play all the way through til winning! At first I thought it just didn't end and was some zen riddle and then I realize I had neglected one island which I raised up to its full glory.

It was a very satisfying feeling when two shots or so lined up in a row without having ro rotate the world haha"},{"author_name":"Wyzfen","author_uid":"87","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 10:12pm","epoch":1335391620,"text":"I didnt realise it could be finished until i read the comments :)"},{"author_name":"Orni","author_uid":"10771","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 11:14am","epoch":1335438540,"text":"very nice simple idea - yet challenging\r<br\/>good game - the audio and graphics are solid as well"},{"author_name":"Evil Sandwich Studios","author_uid":"12700","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 4:40pm","epoch":1335458100,"text":"Very, very good.
