Too hard to shoot ships, maybe because they get behind you to fast, I think it could be improved by adding some AI on the enemies by going more &quot;around&quot; instead of attacking you all the time.\r<br\/>Well use of the theme for the 2 buttons control."},{"author_name":"_benhumphries","author_uid":"60146","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 1:50am","epoch":1450230300,"text":"Good job, but the game is very hard. I like the graphics and sound (I think it's cool that it's all your voice!) I would find myself getting frustrated because enemies would spawn right next to you and then kill you without having time to react. I'd suggest making the screen FOV higher."},{"author_name":"AriaMK","author_uid":"19975","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 1:51am","epoch":1450230360,"text":"A little bit too difficult just starting out but neat concept!"},{"author_name":"ddoomus","author_uid":"59984","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:15am","epoch":1450231800,"text":"Nice work.

Letting the player restart by just tapping a button (e.g. &quot;r&quot;) might help death feel less off-putting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Quite impressed you made the sound effects with just your mouth -- I wouldn't have guessed."},{"author_name":"Bloodyaugust","author_uid":"3773","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:24am","epoch":1450232340,"text":"As a first Jam entry, well done and welcome! :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game was extremely difficult, due to the enemy ships tailing you so close and being nearly as fast. Turning to shoot them was nigh on impossible. The other, more minor complaint, is the audio. Very repetitive and in your face, with no way to mute it. Otherwise, nicely done!"},{"author_name":"KZdev","author_uid":"63895","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:24am","epoch":1450232340,"text":"I usually like hard games but this one is a bit too tough for me to get into.

Bit hard to not crash into some of the things while shooting them, but I guess that's the challenge :)"},{"author_name":"AsixJin","author_uid":"30137","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 7:43pm","epoch":1450294680,"text":"Nice game but it was kinda hard to shoot anything.
