I was doing pretty well, until I got to the level with a blue triangle and a blue... trapazoid maybe?  It had three distinct groups of stars.  I started to feel like I wasn't in perfect control of the cannon, like if I hit left-arrow once then right-arrow once, I might not end up where I started.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Two hugely helpful choices you made were 1) allowing R to restart the level at ANY TIME instead of making me watch it play out (you can make the stars dance by jamming R, try it), and 2) the same shot always did the same thing.  If either of those were not the case I think the game would be far, FAR less enjoyable than it was, so great work on the small choices there."}],"images":["ld28\/28822-eaec2859c0859251fbefa0b8212a46d3.jpg","ld28\/28822-ee3a3be69dadf1ed2fa0e1cd98022385.jpg","ld28\/28822-ff816a8e58beb03ede8cca1d353b59b3.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/scottrick.github.io\/ld28\/ld\/game.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/scottrick\/ld28\/tree\/gh-pages\/ld","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"21218","g_author":"28822","g_event":"LD28","g_eventkey":"20","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"21247","g_title":"Star Cannon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"420","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/28822-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/28822-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/28822-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Simple puzzle game where the goal is to shoot the cannon and hit all the stars. \r\n\r\nTested and working well on Firefox and Chrome.  \r\nSound effects don't work on IE (sorry, not enough time to fix).  \r\n\r\nRemember you can press 'R' to reset and try again if you want to restart a level faster.
