This was neat! It has the potential to be really hectic! With more enemy movement, thumping music, and maybe some death blossoms to push it to eleven. Good job on this!"},{"author_name":"PotatoGrader","author_uid":"55064","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:12am","epoch":1450163220,"text":"fluidvolt, thank you very much.

The game feels and looks great too!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The only thing I would change is the sound of the player laser, other than that GREAT job! :)"},{"author_name":"keyboardmonkey","author_uid":"26303","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:35pm","epoch":1450269000,"text":"Good growing boss mechanic!

Yeah, someone has pointed the part about ESC on the LOVE forum. If my game need something, it's polish.\r<br\/>And your tactic of attacking the root block from a very close distance should have failed, I think, because the root block becomes invincible when there are enough blue blocks."},{"author_name":"Lullaby","author_uid":"66242","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 8:48am","epoch":1450341780,"text":"I really liked it and the theme is well thought :p\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Challenging but that's cool, well done!"},{"author_name":"DrFallos","author_uid":"61003","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 10:02am","epoch":1450346220,"text":"Alright, the concept is really neat! I've enjoyed playing it, and growing enemy mechanics looks very promising! \r<br\/>I'm kind of wonder if I can actually win the game, cause the growing is so fast and I'm a bit slow)\r<br\/>Anyway you did a nice job, I think I'll come back to it a few more times to try my luck with this growing-ship-dude=)"},{"author_name":"NoWandStudios","author_uid":"50652","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 10:15am","epoch":1450347000,"text":"Very simple game and the name very accurate :D"},{"author_name":"Indiestry","author_uid":"41883","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 10:35am","epoch":1450348200,"text":"Really cool concept and gameplay.
