Not a photoshop of your granny?\rIt played pretty smooth\rIt wasn't easy, but there's nothing wrong with that.\r\rOn my wishlist would be: (pew pew) sounds, so you get a audible feedback from what's happening (getting hit, shooting, destroying). And a skippablre intro after the first go.\r\rI like that you took the effort of having random loading hints."},{"author_name":"TheMaster99","author_uid":"20812","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 11:05am","epoch":1387278000,"text":"Not an original game whatsoever, but besides that it's fun, has good graphics, and has nice music.

I think even just sfxr-style 'bup' and 'gworbl' sounds for firing & exploding (respectively) would make the death-dealing so much more rewarding. \r\rControls feel a little stiff, and it's kinda hard to get used to having only one axis of control.\r\rBut that's a lovely death-screen. And some dandy hints there. I'd like even more of that throughout. (Perhaps a rendition of 'God Save the Queen' playing in the background? With the occasional patriotic cheer or stereotypical phrase ('for king and country!' 'stiff upper lip!') when picking up power ups or downing a larger enemy?)"},{"author_name":"ocathalain","author_uid":"32163","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 9:17am","epoch":1387357920,"text":"Really difficult, but pretty entertaining and funny."},{"author_name":"digihacker","author_uid":"28688","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 5:47pm","epoch":1387388520,"text":"Nice effect you did there !

Of course, what if that alien wasn't confused? What if he just shared the view of a lot of people on this planet that a lot of modern media kind of sucks? What if they decided to kill us all in a massive, massive overreaction?\r\nWe don't know either, but it probably wouldn't look ANYTHING like this.\r\n\r\n---------------------\r\n\r\nNote: If you press 'Try Again' after dying you won't have to go through the dialogue again before restarting.","title":"St. George's Day"}
