Very hard, but the base gameplay is very solid. Nonetheless, there are some improvements I would like to see ;)\n\n- When I am wildly moving my mouse to shoot the circles, sometimes I click out of the window and the game disappears behind my browser (which was open behind the game window). It would be nice to have a fullscreen mode or a setting to lock the cursor into the window.\n- I had to select the level with my mouse, start the game with Return and restart the game with spacebar. Since you already need to have your hand on your mouse, I suggest keeping all interaction in the menus with your mouse. So a clickable button to start and restart the game.\n- When you press space to restart the game you end up in the main menu, while I thought the level itself would restart. That also would speed up the process and eliminate some frustration. \n\nGood job, but there are some details that need some improvement :slight_smile:","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"brookzerker","author_uid":"1000348","time":"2017-05-20T06:39:00Z","epoch":1495262340,"modified":1495262340,"text":"Thanks drtizzle!
