I enjoyed seeing the explosions continue towards the edge of the screen and it was very rewarding to earn enough points to gain an extra life. Overall very enjoyable game!"},{"author_name":"Echo Team","author_uid":"62927","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 4:04am","epoch":1450411140,"text":"Cute.

Got really confused as to why I didn't get hearts. Once I figure out that I had to charge up an explosion the game went more smoothly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The control scheme primarily was a substantial bugbear. After I finished turning, there'd be about a second during which I couldn't turn again, which made the controls feel really stiff and unpleasant.\r<br\/>Also, it would've been nice to have a bit more visual feedback on the explosion radius of various ships. Add a shockwave graphic to show how far they reach, maybe."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Jan 16, 2016 @ 3:39pm","epoch":1452958440,"text":"Simple, well made game, with lovely graphics!
