The gameplay is interesting. It's cool to be in control of both the ship and the captain.

The game right now isn't particularly gripping, but I feel like with just a little bit of work this could be a really surprising sleeper hit. I love the multi-tasking aspect... I don't know, I can't put my finger on it but I really like it :D"},{"author_name":"porglezomp","author_uid":"21051","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 2:17am","epoch":1387419120,"text":"Really great game!

I thought I was playing a jam entry, not a compo entry. It looks so polished and finished! Really good job. It's like Asteroids meets survival. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can't get the music out of my head now.

It is hard to find the fun in this but you can really see how this can be debeloped into a great thing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cons are lack of explanation of what you should do, and a music loop too short, but in 48 hors this is really great.
