It did seem like it's a little too difficult, since the tractor beam will target buildings instead too easily due to the navigation tilt, but I still had fun. Great job!"},{"author_name":"Jiyko","author_uid":"5013","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 2:14pm","epoch":1355926140,"text":"Very enjoyable.

That is really neat.\r\rSome people has said the control it hard, it took me some time to get used to it to. I think it is because of the slide \/ friction you put on the ship.\r\rWhy is there a death score? Is that the people going to the far right and far left that you didn't save?\r\rBTW, I think you can cheat by hiding at the far left or far right, hiding very close to the people and a building, and just keep beaming them up. The missile will keep hitting the building."},{"author_name":"lucasncv","author_uid":"10289","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 7:46pm","epoch":1356118860,"text":"haha loved the destruction + jazz mood"},{"author_name":"cwilloughby","author_uid":"18255","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 10:09pm","epoch":1356213840,"text":"Super fun.

You can boringly hover, and pick up one human after the other, but isn't it tempting to shake skyscrapers and make people flee in panic? On the other hand, you can try to level the city as fast as possible, which is cool, but then you have nowhere to hide from the missiles. Therefor the game also doesn't have a win screen, because you have to decide for yourself if a 365\/1 score is great or 42\/120 is better. Anyway, you will remain the villain.<\/p>","title":"Alien Rampage"}
