So much art content for a so simple game... :P But with all that awesome sound and 3D stuff, mood is ensured, and, yes, it was a fun experience, so I give you a good note. ;)

Really nice game. The vocal talent and music were spot on and I really liked the cut-down "Missile Command" gameplay.

Great ending. Really nice presentation all the way through. Gameplay could have been deeper but art/audio more than made up for it

I liked the analogue between the "game" and the "world". It was a nice/interesting touch.

I liked this interpretation of the theme! The stand up/sit down element was nice, though it'd have been nice if it was incorporated into the gameplay mechanics somehow instead of just being aesthetic... say you had to shoot down some things only your eyes could spot, or maybe there was a second first-person defense mechanic apart from missiles. Even so, it was nice to see an environment around the Missile Defense monitor, to create a sense of place that was lacking from those old games.

Also, the end was very, very cleverly done. Good work, and bravo on this entry!
