This is a neat game. I think it is plenty challenging, but should ramp up a bit faster. I also think the player should have an extra means of attack, like missiles they can buy from the store that hit harder. to help clean out the meatier enemies. Great job with the visuals, too. Overall solid game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MandaRad","author_uid":"1024332","time":"2018-08-14T15:09:57Z","epoch":1534259397,"modified":1534259397,"text":"I liked all the little ship and planet icons, and it was really satisfying to destroy them. It made a good sound effect. \n\nThe surrounding colourful noise type graphic was kind of hard on the eyes though. The upgrade menu was a little hard to see, too.
