The cursor is too small and blends in too much with the background.  Having to click through the dialouge too forever because I had to find my cursor.\n\nSo, three suggestions here.\n1 - Make the cursor biggest and more contrasting, maybe a light cursor with a dark border so it shows up everywhere.\n2 - Allow keyboard inputs and clicks anywhere on screen to advance dialouge\n3 - Allow ESC to pause\/close game\n'\nThe 3d graphics are beautiful, even if the angle did make navigating and seeing what's ahead of you a bit difficult.\n\nOverall it was a good game, just could use a little tweaking.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"novotmike","author_uid":"1001173","time":"2017-08-05T09:24:23Z","epoch":1501925063,"modified":1501925063,"text":"I really enjoyed playing this game! I didn't have problem to find my cursor as others did. I love the graphics design and the whole style of the game. It felt right flying in the space - the controls were nice.\nVisual effects like shooting, trail and explosions were gorgeous.\nI would personally change the color of the font in dialogues - the light gray wasn't very visible.\n\nOverall for me this game was very nice!

I would suggest to increase the cursor size or remove it if is not necessary for the core game (if it only is used to menu you could implement the keyboard input) because is hard to find it when you are on menus and misleads when you are playing. Otherwise I think you've done a good work in the technical part, good job.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"wh05herlock","author_uid":"1002280","time":"2017-08-22T05:17:09Z","epoch":1503379029,"modified":1503379029,"text":"This is a really cool game, and I especially like the graphics.\n\nMy only improvements would be\n\n - To make the cursor bigger, or perhaps even just go without the cursor and use keyboard controls only as the cursor really isn't needed.\n - Possibly make it clearer how to get points (e.g. do you have to destroy ships or survive as long as you can)\n - Make it a bit clearer what you should be doing with the asteroids (I think at some point I remember it saying you need to mine them. How?\n\nOther than that it's very good, and I really like the atmosphere etc. :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"fillefilip8","author_uid":"1034721","time":"2017-08-22T08:17:05Z","epoch":1503389825,"modified":1503389825,"text":"Amazing visuals.

I am so bad at this game; I had only 1 kill in 3 trials. However, it was fun. I think the game needs a health bar. One thing I can't figure out is the game's relation to the theme. Overall, the game is really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.\n\nEDIT: I see in the screen shot there is a health bar but I couldn't see it in the web version. the lower part of the dialogue was clipped too so it may be a resolution problem.\n\nEDIT 2: The UI problem I mentioned above is probably why I couldn't see the relation to the theme since I couldn't see the power or ammo bar if there is one.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"tapestry","author_uid":"1034070","time":"2017-08-22T14:57:05Z","epoch":1503413825,"modified":1503413825,"text":"I really liked the art style, the laser effects, the colors, the graphics in general!
