Got 6800 on that one try when they didn't stop :)\n\nI like the music a lot - Daft Punk wouldn't be ashamed to put it on their B-Sides.\n\nGame is pretty fun, although it feels like physics could be tweaked to make it a bit more dynamic. Very fun to play nonetheless!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ZachsButt","author_uid":"1063196","time":"2020-10-05T05:48:32Z","epoch":1601876912,"modified":1601876912,"text":"Just the idea of this made me smile.

Quite liked the mechanic of how you control the seesaw to control the power. The music is **great**. Probably improvement could me like different modes, so you have this as your normal mode, and maybe like a different map or something. Well Done!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rakowu","author_uid":"1042060","time":"2020-10-05T05:57:17Z","epoch":1601877437,"modified":1601877438,"text":"Surprisingly fun. Hadn't read the introduction I had realised that you can shoot. Then the seesaw had made sense. I had first tried to hurl myself to the alien with the seesaw.  Music is good too.

The laser shooting being slow is something that I liked which probably makes the game more challenging rather than having the player spam the shoot button. I said this on another submission and I will say it here too, this game also has the potential to become a short mobile game","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Duke","author_uid":"1139741","time":"2020-10-06T15:58:56Z","epoch":1601999936,"modified":1601999936,"text":"Yeah, why not? :) Pretty simple mechanics but kept me invested more than I thought. A little more game play variation would've been nice, since the game play loop get's stale pretty quickly. Art and sound are nothing too special but do their job adequately. The soundtrack is nice though :) Considering that this is a compo, I think you spent your time in each part of the game just about right! Good job on that","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sop the turtle","author_uid":"1218546","time":"2020-10-10T00:02:15Z","epoch":1602288135,"modified":1602288135,"text":"This one was great. I really enjoyed playing it. What an interesting take on the theme and definitely a unique design unlike any of the other ones I've played. I like how if the threat level gets really high that you kind of get another chance by them looping around you. I think this mechanic could be quite addicting.
