Would be nice to have a bit more of a sense of progress like a score counter, and it's a bit hard to keep track of how much damage you've taken (is there any significance to losing a life, or do you basically just have 100 hit points?). I felt like the dodging aspect of the game would have been a bit more fun if the enemy bullets moved a bit slower - the difference between those and the debris is jarring."},{"author_name":"runvs","author_uid":"29172","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 5:45pm","epoch":1462038000,"text":"Very nice entry.
