It was so cool to just look at the nice graphics, here the chill music - really relaxing game. I played until I won. The speed was right, the actions to protect self\/planet were cool. The only improvement i would make is the sounds effects of impact - they were too loud vs. the chill music, and maybe should have been more like chill effects - complementing the slow, relaxing gameplay mood.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":863179,"author_name":"Isaac Hisey","author_uid":"isaac-hisey","epoch":1664934878,"text":"Overall: Super fun and addictive! Audio was a little loud and piercing (the explosion specifically) other were pleasant. Music was wonderful!\n\nFun: Love the loop! Easy to understand and I was quick to pickup on all I could do.
