I understand what you mean about it not being much fun, but I do feel it is relatively easy to experience flow with the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>ie, If the player is patient and relaxed, they can pilot the craft slowly and with care, and easily not crash it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As they gain confidence, they can find pleasure in skillfully piloting their craft at higher speed, and that's when they can get into a 'flow' state. :)"},{"author_name":"BlueShaman","author_uid":"4891","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 1:45am","epoch":1314063600,"text":"It's not much fun, although it does feel polished and 'finished'. Some work to make a more interesting world, less crashing your ship, and possibly enemies or some other thing which keeps you watchful would have made a huge difference for a minimalistic change."},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 7:00pm","epoch":1314384900,"text":"Can't connect to 2shared.com to download the game.
