Found it fun to play and it fits the theme quite nicely.

Controls were a little wonky. It was never worth going for the power dropped at the top. I wasn't clear on the nature of all the powerups - blue restored core power, yellow was rapid fire. The difficulty ramped up sooo much at about 48-50 seconds, which was a little frustrating.  Cool-looking, appropriate sounds, nice work.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AMastryukov","author_uid":"1040622","time":"2017-07-31T21:17:05Z","epoch":1501535825,"modified":1501535825,"text":"Fun little concept.

Simple and Fun.Good lighting effects to set the mood. But very unbalanced, at about 50-60 seconds you will always die, no matter how good or bad you have played. Also I dont get what the blue powerup, so I think you should say somewhere what it does.\n\nI like the fact that your lights, get dimmer as you run out of power, but when you get really low power you I can't see the enemies, you should be able to see the enemies even when you almost dont have power","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hilvon","author_uid":"1009192","time":"2017-07-31T21:19:33Z","epoch":1501535973,"modified":1501535973,"text":"Good game.\nControls feel slightly off, but I can't exactly tell how to fix them.\n\nAlso when the number of powerups is big, the game seem to have some performance issues...Not sure if that is lighting or object spawning problem.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"LuckyFeathers","author_uid":"1014647","time":"2017-07-31T21:23:54Z","epoch":1501536234,"modified":1501536234,"text":"I like it.
