It seems to work in noticeable intervals instead of smoothly on every input. I had to unplug the controllers before starting the game. Otherwise I could rotate using the right thumbstick. (Two XBox 360 Pads) The teleportation sound is a bit too loud and tedious for every time one pops off the screen.\r<br\/>Shading and meshes look ok, though I had the feeling that the whole render image was stretched. You can see it in the screenshots too, like there is a fish-eye effect, but just for the asteroids. It seems off, but maybe that's just me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other then that this is great! The explosion of an aircraft looks fantastic, the sound is entertaining, if a bit repetitive. If the rotation was more precise I think I could get a lot of playtime out of this."},{"author_name":"01rafael","author_uid":"11984","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 12:05pm","epoch":1418731200,"text":"I like the visualisation, really!
