I like your unique integration of the theme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would have enjoyed sounds. (Fire, ship thrust, sun bad guy dispersal, etc.) I can see why you didn't do it, as the music is very nice and atmospheric, but rather hollow, perhaps that is what you were going for."},{"author_name":"FuzzyWuzzie","author_uid":"22923","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:03am","epoch":1398657480,"text":"I had WAY too much fun playing with the gravity fields!"},{"author_name":"tiffi_gaming","author_uid":"29484","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 10:23am","epoch":1398680280,"text":"The ambient sound is spot on!"},{"author_name":"porglezomp","author_uid":"21051","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 1:08pm","epoch":1398690180,"text":"@ENDESGA I plan on working on it more! I have some ideas that could make it way more fun.\r<br\/>@BallpointPress Thanks, I didn't have enough time to tweak the thrust, it was better earlier.\r<br\/>@WetDesertRock Yeah, the enemies aren't smart enough to chase you very reliably, it's hard to make AI that gets gravity.
