The core mechanic is quite cool, but the setup felt a bit futile from the player's PoV: Would be good to have a bit more variation or development in the gameplay (e.g. the player getting stronger over time, or occasional powerups)."},{"author_name":"thewiseguy99","author_uid":"14421","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 5:20am","epoch":1346303700,"text":"Good game, cool graphics.
