Nice sound and graphics and actually pretty fun. I thought that too many colours kept coming up when i got one wrong, took ages to clear after making a mistake.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I must say, the claim 'you are scientists' didn't come through, its about shooting bad guys."},{"author_name":"alyphen","author_uid":"14242","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 12:44pm","epoch":1450096740,"text":"Very interesting take on the theme. It was as challenging as it was rewarding to play. Sound effects are subtle and greatly add to the space atmosphere, though some sort of ambience may have extended the depth further."},{"author_name":"Ybalrid","author_uid":"55047","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 12:48pm","epoch":1450096980,"text":"It's fun playing in co-op. If fits the theme as a 2 button game and it's actually more interesting than many other game gameplay-wise. Good job ^^&quot;"},{"author_name":"Bjarnovikus","author_uid":"9296","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 12:56pm","epoch":1450097460,"text":"Game is quite good, but it's quite repetetive. I know it is suposed to be played with 2 players, but I was testing it alone. I think timing is a big issue when playing it with 2 players, and that could make the game fun."},{"author_name":"Submundo Games","author_uid":"27491","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:34pm","epoch":1450117740,"text":"nice game dude."},{"author_name":"HolyBlackCat","author_uid":"39241","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1450118220,"text":"Simple, but good and fun!"},{"author_name":"Dooskington","author_uid":"25167","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:17pm","epoch":1450120320,"text":"Cool game concept!

We've previously done solo Compo efforts. \r\n\r\nAs this was our first time working together we made a co-op game because we spend a lot of our time playing them. We chose the two button theme.\r\n\r\nThe game is written in java using libGdx, all graphics done in paint.net and sounds in bfxr.\r\n\r\nTHE GAME:\r\n\r\nYou must work together as pilots of a science spaceship to protect it from hostile space objects.\r\n\r\nThe theme is two button controls and you have two buttons each. Hopefully nobody will press the wrong button at the wrong time!\r\n\r\nNote to AZERTY users - Even though the game says Q and W, A and Z will work too.\r\n\r\nWe put up a smaller version for those with bad connections who already have java. For everyone else, download the 'full' version and run the batch file.\r\n\r\nGood luck out there scientists.","title":"Space Research Team"}
