Screenshot must have caught my eye :)\r\rBrilliant and original concept. I'm not sure I've played anything quite like this. It made me feel huge like king kong on the top of the skyscraper swatting down planes. Music & sfx were perfect for the mood.\r\rGame played a little choppy\/slow - maybe it's my browser? If I could restart without reloading the page from the "You Lost" screen, I'm not sure how.\r\rGreat job!!!"},{"author_name":"zillix","author_uid":"2460","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:22am","epoch":1440472620,"text":"awesome ambiance! the gameplay is simple and fun, and I love the clean graphics."},{"author_name":"wy477wh173","author_uid":"21543","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 4:13am","epoch":1440475680,"text":"fun idea, cute spin on the prompt.\r\rIt was quite different.\r\r-Kelsie and Wyatt"},{"author_name":"Ninja Garage","author_uid":"55778","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 4:31am","epoch":1440476760,"text":"!!!!!

The smooth, flat-colored graphics look really clean. Good variety of enemy types. The tentacle moves well, just a little slower than you'd like.
