Great use of the theme in that it's the exact opposite of the theme using as many screens as possible! Good effort!

At first I was like eh'
But then the drop hit and I GENUINELY DIDN'T EXPECT IT. Straight up blew my mind, that is genius.

Controls are a little sluggish, but the graphics are readable throughout and the idea is just mind crack for me, brilliant.

Its on one screen... but it's not! Got my attention instantly. Very fun!

Nice bait and switch! Had me fooled. The gameplay isn't very strong or interesting, but I really enjoyed the take on the theme.

That moment when you first get zoomed out... I was laughing hard enough I lost almost all the stages right away.
On the whole, well done.

When the screen zoomed out, I WTF'd out loud in the best way possible. Good stuff! Though once you zoom out more than once it's damn near impossible to play. :p

Nice! Loved the feel, and laughed at the transition. Fun times.

Really nice take on the theme. I think if the gameplay was any more involved, it would have made it too difficult after the first stage. Solid entry.

I laughed pretty hard when the game first zoomed out to show multiples screens. I don't know why, it guess it was exciting. Great Job!

Cool idea, simple but nice graphics! One thing though: the embedded iFrame with the web version on this page does not show the entire game screen (the iframe appears with a scrollbar - easy to solve by raising the height property). Congrats!

Amazing take on the theme! At first I was thinking "aw man, it's just a space invaders clone," but then *pan out* XD

A bit short though. Could have done with one or two more zoom outs.

Totally surprising! Interesting challenge to fight on multiple screen at once! The sluggishness of the controls is challenging but in a sense adds authenticity the retro arcade style games. Nice work!

The zooming to more screens is excellent. I like the idea.

Its very hard. But I consider this as a good thing ;)

Nice take on the theme, I also thought about interpreting it as an anti-theme. You did a good job putting the games gimick at just the right stop, not so soon as it wouldn't have suprised me, not so far that I might not have gotten to it. I did for some reason think it would keep going though and was sad when it stopped. Nice job on this one.

Classic game but the multiple screen make it so fun... i was even disappointed it doesn't loop infinitly, adding more and more screens :D
Great job !
