Good job!"},{"author_name":"nintendoeats","author_uid":"22819","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:05am","epoch":1408935600,"text":"Looks really good, and while it isn't intuitive it is interesting. It would be nice if the front and back of the ship were more distinctive. I found myself frequently needing to look at one part of the screen while trying to keep moving. Being able to tell how I'm rotated while the ship is in my peripheral vision would have been really handy."},{"author_name":"kblaney","author_uid":"6981","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:16am","epoch":1408936260,"text":"Great game. Really innovates on the usual tower defense genre. As others have noted, the controls aren't great but if that detail was fixed then I would really look forward to a game with similar mechanics."},{"author_name":"hyouko","author_uid":"31859","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:05am","epoch":1408939200,"text":"One of the more amusingly literal takes on the theme that I've seen so far. Feels like it would play a lot better with a gamepad, though the frantic out-of-controlness is kind of part of the charm."},{"author_name":"snade","author_uid":"7992","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:42pm","epoch":1408977420,"text":"That was fun! good job! things seem to move a tad to fast though, hard to control."},{"author_name":"talecrafter","author_uid":"3707","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:45pm","epoch":1408977600,"text":"I liked the presentation, but controls with the arrow keys was clunky.
