As I really suck with multitasking, this game is quite a challenge for me. I like the idea of the small worlds with different development stages. All the mechanics work quite solid and are fun to play!\nThe rockets stay after the end of a round, which can lead to collisions with an old rocket.

The idea of not only controlling the paddles but the balls too is pretty well done. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but once all the mechanics are realized it becomes pretty simple to play.

I dare say you could have utilised WASD and the arrow keys for a more comfortable\/uniform control setup. Where you have A and D to rotate the planet, W and S for Missiles and Fuel leaving the Up\/Down arrow keys for paddle movement.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Joror","author_uid":"1000362","time":"2017-05-15T15:42:44Z","epoch":1494862964,"modified":1494862964,"text":"Interesting Pong combo!
