The graphics were simple, clean, though I don't quite understand the dinosaur.  I enjoyed the progression, and felt the pacing was good.  I wished that the gun I controlled got better over time (maybe I missed that part).  Also, it wasn't totally clear how much damage I was taking or when I was going to lose.  Also, and I could be wrong, but it felt like the auto turrets were shooting through the planet.  Maybe this is intended (or maybe I didn't see this correctly) but if so then it makes it less important about where you place the turrets.  Cheers!

The game was pretty fun too and I might've *really* enjoyed it, were the controls a bit better. I felt like the cannons weren't aiming right at my mouse but were always slightly off. Since controlling Turrets on opposite sites of the planet at the same time was too difficult for me I opted to place them all next to eachother, giving me a more shotgun-like shot, making the aiming easier and tried to cover the rest of the planet in autoturrets. It seemed to me, however, as though I was only able to control a few of the turrets at the same time? Or maybe the mouse-detection-radius of the rapid ones was just smaller? Anyway, that made my method of playing pretty frustrating.\n\nFun game overall though and, again, cute graphics.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ToonTeamJ","author_uid":"1013606","time":"2017-05-11T20:40:45Z","epoch":1494535245,"modified":1494535245,"text":"It was a fun game, although the turrets were a little hard to aim with.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kolkav","author_uid":"1028516","time":"2017-05-16T18:06:25Z","epoch":1494957985,"modified":1494957985,"text":"Truly an awesome experience!
