After a short while I had all the upgrades maxed out and more gold than I could spend, and the bosses are really easy to break once you have the vertical shots, by standing in one of the right-side corners of the screen where they can't hit you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The regular segments were a bit more challenging, but I wish there were some more mechanics to it. The sounds and art were pretty good!"},{"author_name":"cooper6581","author_uid":"18020","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1355863440,"text":"Really well done!

Looks too simple at first, but then the upgrade curve (slightly OP) made it more fun. I would just suggest icons instead of colors for the bonus (even if most other games do like you)."},{"author_name":"rylgh","author_uid":"15833","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 4:15pm","epoch":1356019800,"text":"Cool game, more to it than it appeared at first. Took me a minute to figure out how to shoot (since I didn't read the instructions, naturally) - might want to go with Space\/Z\/X instead, Shift\/Q don't seem to be used as buttons often."},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 10:08am","epoch":1356084180,"text":"Quite a lot of types of enemies, weapon upgrades, graphics and music.\r<br\/>A pretty solid game.\r<br\/>I do agree with the comment for using icons for upgrades. They looked like coins.

Missed the beaming up goats to get health text on my first run. The game seems to get quite hectic fairly fast after the second level.\r<br\/>Couldn't buy a lot of the upgrades, they maxed out or something really early."},{"author_name":"TyrusPeace","author_uid":"5305","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 8:02am","epoch":1356163020,"text":"Okay, the cow at the end of the third level was fabulous. I'm sad it killed me but happy it can now move on to the rest of its life, jetpackin' around light and fancy free.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The healing and upgrading added a surprising amount of depth to this. I do wish upgrades didn't max out so early, but the difficulty seemed to be pretty well balanced. I enjoyed all three levels I managed to get to. That's a lot of (fun!) gameplay for 48 hours!"},{"author_name":"Hatscat","author_uid":"10471","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 12:01pm","epoch":1356177360,"text":"Really fun! it reminds me one of my own game (http:\/\/www.stencyl.com\/game\/play\/15361) with more contents! :D"},{"author_name":"raincole","author_uid":"17708","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 1:18pm","epoch":1356181980,"text":"Very solid game.
