IT was simple and rotating the world with left and right. And like the guy above mentioned, collision DID feel a bit off sometimes. There were times I was trying to hit the same object- and it took me 3-4 tries even after feeling like I bumped into it. Aside from that, navigating accurately with he < and > arrow keys can feel too fast sometimes as well. Not sure if that was intended gameplay-wise. :D\n\nOverall- enjoyable, short game for a jam. Kudos for releasing the source code like that. :D I'm not a techy guy- so I'm not sure what you mean by that it's an emulator typa thing. xD","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"g12345","author_uid":"1000231","time":"2017-05-02T14:25:57Z","epoch":1493735157,"modified":1493735157,"text":"I like the idea of an Vectrex game very much... but I don't want to install java just for it, yet.\n\nIs there another emulator available (for Windows) that doesn't need java?\n\nGreat idea, and I'd like to play it.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rnlf","author_uid":"1002413","time":"2017-05-10T20:34:16Z","epoch":1494448456,"modified":1494448456,"text":"Wow, that's impressive!
