I really liked the controls and the weapons but found it a little annoying that I couldn't either adjust the rotation of the weapons easily or choose individual weapons to jettison. Having 2-4 beam weapons caused the sound to stack up which was kind of painful but it was worth it because the beam weapons were super rad. Overall very enjoyable."},{"author_name":"maartene","author_uid":"63679","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 5:46am","epoch":1461130860,"text":"Cool game. Liked how much different upgrade types there were.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Found the ship difficult to control. The physics based inertia combined with the relative controls (W = forward instead of up), made I want getting the hang of it."},{"author_name":"RoadToSalvation","author_uid":"55791","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 5:48am","epoch":1461130980,"text":"Game crashed halfway through. Cool idea but it could have been way better with more attention to game feel. Make the bullets HUGE. Make the sound effects BASSY and POWERFUL. Screen shake on everything. Flashing and particles flying everywhere. Gameplay could have been faster in pace too- felt like I was shooting a baddie forever.
