I know the menu says to use x against y, but while playing it ends up being a really confusing shootemup. I think this has potential, if the hazards and the ways to counter are communicated better, with colors or better symbols. Also, when you die a small popup or anything would be nice.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"KingOfNova","author_uid":"1120343","time":"2020-10-05T22:22:58Z","epoch":1601936578,"modified":1601936578,"text":"good grief my ears good thing you have a volume slider \nI feel like that should be defaulted to much lower.\nThe power ups are hard to tell what they are they are very small. \nThe way the debris spawns makes it way to hard to dodge. \nthough this game will be fun when finished development.

I'm not huge on the dust clouds either. I think it's kind of hard to notice them i the middle of gameplay. I do really like the earth in the background and the fact that every player will probably see the giant crater in the background at a different point.

I'm addicted. Actually the gameplay is challenging and has potential to be very rewarding. However I need a score feature because it's hard to gauge progress. I don't think I cleared zone one - maybe more missiles or a faster shield would help? The music & graphics give me XCOM\/80s\/90s sci-fi vibes.
