I'm surprised it was over so quickly. I feel that the controls could use a bit of tweaking, though. I didn't like having to tap the arrow keys every time I wanted to fire. I felt it should be more like robotron, where you hold down the direction and you keep firing non-stop."},{"author_name":"PhilZ","author_uid":"22230","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 2:18pm","epoch":1367244780,"text":"It reminds me of Zombie survival type games, and honestly I never enjoyed those kind of games. The controls aren't the best. I would have liked if I could have used my mouse to fire at the blocks instead.

It's too hard :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Regarding the opposite color mechanism, while it's intriguing artistically, I think it unnecessarily adds to the difficulty of the gameplay. I ended up mashing space and trying to hit enemies with all possible colors because I would never remember which color is the opposite of which, except black-white.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, the first time I played this I hit &quot;start&quot; and I did not know what to do to beat the non-black enemies.

The player then has to shoot the enemies with the corresponding complimentary color.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nWASD to move\r\nARROW Keys to shoot\r\nLEFT SHIFT and SPACEBAR to cycle between colors\r\n#1-4 to change color freely\r\n\r\n*I would have added more levels if I did not run out of time.\r\n\r\nEdit: I changed a small typo bug with the collision where the player would not take any damage if he or she stood still.
