Game feels good, maybe a little to fast for avoiding the bullets...

I was a bit confused at the ending though. I removed my comms just before the end and was left with just med bay. I didn't die but the game just ended after the command guy failed to contact me, which felt a bit weird. I liked the little starfox-esque portraits and also your take on the theme."},{"author_name":"Evil Cult","author_uid":"8607","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 9:07am","epoch":1367398920,"text":"@psychomonster The Minimalism theme can be taken a number of ways. The gameplay\/graphics here might not have been minimalistic themselves, but the game is about reducing everything that is not essential which is the very definition of minimalism. At least that's how I saw it. I actually gave this 4\/5 for theme."},{"author_name":"WiseGAMER","author_uid":"15721","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 9:42am","epoch":1367401020,"text":"Nice classic game, I loved the graphics so much"},{"author_name":"Xaychru04","author_uid":"16472","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 9:44am","epoch":1367401140,"text":"Amazing game! The concept of having to do sacrifices was very clever, and the graphics are beautiful.
