There should be a cooldown between shooting and you should be able to shoot when you feel like it, not constantly.\rTheme is not well matched. Sure, the ship grows and shrinks, but is that evolution?\rIt's a little fun but it quickly gets boring when the same enemies keep on coming at you... and you keep destroying them... it becomes a chore."},{"author_name":"dalbinblue","author_uid":"13960","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:49pm","epoch":1346082240,"text":"I like the Atari vibe. The appearance would a bit more complete if you made the text look retro as well. I'd don't know if it was a time constraint or if graphics is not your strong suit, but making the text large and blocky like the rest of graphics would make everything come together a little better.\r\rAdditionally a few more enemies, or more aggressive enemies would be nice. I found the game too easy because I could outrun all the enemies or sweep past them to kill them quickly."},{"author_name":"Punga","author_uid":"16134","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 4:37pm","epoch":1346085120,"text":"dalbinblue: Atari-like graphics is what I was aiming for :D I agree the game is too easy."},{"author_name":"Datw","author_uid":"11318","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:50pm","epoch":1346089500,"text":"I liked to play with the laser, drawing with them and stuff.
