Really liked the art style and audio, but struggled with the control scheme - right alt for sucking resources seemed unneeded (just autocollect resources) and tapping right control to fire each bullet was really painful. Also, they're close to the windows key so I kept accidently pressing that! Think holding to fire would have worked much better. Didn't get to see much of the game as a result, I felt the rapid onset of RSI :("},{"author_name":"netmute","author_uid":"11213","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 11:45am","epoch":1335267600,"text":"Can't rate because I'm using a Mac.

In-game, the graphics and sound are just as high-quality and very enjoyable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In terms of gameplay, I'm not sure I see too much progression or need to go to the other planets. I think they should be smaller or more varied - especially the starting planet, as that forms people's first impressions, and it was getting a bit repetitive after 10 minutes of running around, shooting blobs.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, the control scheme is a bit weird; especially having to switch between WASD and arrow keys whenever I entered the ship. Tapping to fire was a bit annoying, as someone else noted. Overall, though, I got on fine.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sadly the game did randomly crash while I was blasting away on the first planet, after about 15 minutes of normal gameplay.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also thought it was a shame that the music didn't loop!"},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 12:49pm","epoch":1335271440,"text":"Sadly, It crushed in the middle of my game.

I like the art and the concept behind the game but I feel that the gameplay and controls were a bit off. The right control\/alt keys were a bit of a pain to use but the main annoyance for me was having to keep spamming the button down to attack and also having to press a key to collect resources. There were also a few graphical bugs in the last level.
