You're really pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and really combining the genre's fearlessly. I think the game would have been a lot more fun if the enemies just showed up at a much slower rate. The bird and alien looked to be a pretty similar color on my PC I thought I might be able to match them. The graphics are just functional, and not really unified. The sound is balanced loud for me, and in terms of content, just passable. Overall an impressively ambitious attempt at the theme.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jole","author_uid":"1032123","time":"2018-04-23T10:07:14Z","epoch":1524478034,"modified":1524478034,"text":"Nice game, i just wish the music was louder so i could hear it without the shooting sounds being too loud.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lerg","author_uid":"1013795","time":"2018-04-23T11:51:16Z","epoch":1524484276,"modified":1524484276,"text":"Nice idea.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"meskaline","author_uid":"1052267","time":"2018-04-24T18:21:04Z","epoch":1524594064,"modified":1524594064,"text":"Nice fun game.

I go the highest score of 8000+ but i couldnt submit it because of the glitch where the screen got filled with health items when i reached a certain wave, and there was no enemies so i couldnt let myself die to submit it :\/ so i kept playing and dying on purpose to get on the leaderboards but it didnt save the score i got. rip, Cool game though!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gamesplusjames","author_uid":"1009836","time":"2018-04-26T01:00:59Z","epoch":1524704459,"modified":1524704459,"text":"This was such a cool concept.
