Good graphics and sound, found it tricky to hit the aliens, maybe they could have set patterns of attack and increase their number so you have to dodge more things but they're easier to shoot? I like the take on them evolving between each level depending on how well you did too, it made me want to go for the orange guys more but I found it too hard to pick who I wanted to kill!"},{"author_name":"chardish","author_uid":"3946","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 9:22pm","epoch":1346102220,"text":"@My Milked Eek: The aliens evolve based on which ones you allow to survive. I guess I didn't make that extremely clear. The upgrades are just a way to keep up with the evolution; the upgrades themselves aren't the evolution theme.\r\rThanks for playing!"},{"author_name":"ethankennerly","author_uid":"3040","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 6:23am","epoch":1346134680,"text":"I also enjoyed the graphics and sounds. A complete and satisfying 2-day game! Look forward to playing a follow-up into evolving enemy paths, bullets, and bosses with appendages or drones. \r\rIf you continue this STELLAR 2-day game, it would be nice to see telegraphing the alien moves, and some patterns with pauses or predictable backtracking. The L-moving alien never paused, which was unlike most enemies in shmups that I like."},{"author_name":"eyehawk","author_uid":"15255","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:25pm","epoch":1346156400,"text":"Great retro shooter, I loved the music and the old style look. 2 things that would vastly improve the game: 1. Have more enemies on screen, and perhaps have them die on one hit, 2. The weapon upgrades are too similar, make them more different, e.g. different colors, fire shots out at different angles, vary the speed etc.."},{"author_name":"brother.byto","author_uid":"14461","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 12:49pm","epoch":1346244240,"text":"Nice game.\r\rOn my first try, i soon had to deal fith nothing but the orange guys, and tried that with lots of gunpower.\rWorked well until the became too fast to see them.\r\rOn my second try i killed every creature in level 2, oops."},{"author_name":"Pixelulsar","author_uid":"10737","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 8:26pm","epoch":1346271660,"text":"I think it's cool how enemies evolved, but the first weapons upgrade let me shoot a 7 wide wall of bullets, it was a bit over powered."},{"author_name":"zx81","author_uid":"15382","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 8:34pm","epoch":1346272140,"text":"Good work!, but I dont understood why left arrow is stronger then right one (when both r used at the same time?)"},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 5:56pm","epoch":1346435460,"text":"Interesting, but not much innovative :)"},{"author_name":"harusame","author_uid":"7308","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 9:42pm","epoch":1346449020,"text":"A basic space shooter but it's fun and polish, great job !
