Have to give you a good theme score for that (because that's what I went with too ;p )! I found the gameplay to be fairly fun, and the range of channels was good too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Things that could be improved:\r<br\/>More difficulty for the later levels. For me it was the weather channel that was the hardest for me, since once I had all the power-ups the game didn't get any harder\r<br\/>A reason to keep grabbing power-ups. Perhaps something like them only lasting for a certain amount of time, so they're not pointless in the later levels.\r<br\/>A softer fire noise. I liked the music for this game, but I found the fire noise a little too high pitched and grating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from those issues, I thought this was quite a fun little game!"},{"author_name":"StrayCat","author_uid":"26727","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 4:55am","epoch":1418273400,"text":"I enjoyed my time being an evil tv shooting purring kittens.

The graphics are a little bit weird, but the game is very funny. I think the greatest problem is that it's pretty easy, once you've reached the max level of fire rate and spread (which I reached on the third or fourth channel), you just have to stay still and shoot, everything will be destroyed without any effort. The bosses could move a bit, something to make it more challenging. Really enjoyed playing it!!!"},{"author_name":"DonovanWu","author_uid":"36681","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:23am","epoch":1418275080,"text":"I see, so you have to shoot enemies to get upgrade... But still, the control is a little bit hard for me. It's not just that the fire rate is a bit quirky at the beginning, but also the acceleration of moving is a bit hard for me to master. Bullets don't protect me very well and I always haste to get upgrade so end up dying a lot. LOL\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The audio is impressive.
