Was the fact that the asteroids deflect bullets an attempt to make up for that? Also, the enemy bullets were so tiny and moved to quickly that I could never really make a conscious attempt to dodge them. I just relied on luck basically.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, it was still interesting with the &quot;collect the guns&quot; and &quot;evolving guns&quot; mechanics but this is definitely a game for a joystick, not a keyboard."},{"author_name":"Codexus","author_uid":"187","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 5:56pm","epoch":1346262660,"text":"Interesting idea, has some nice music, but it's hard to really get into the game."},{"author_name":"X-0ut","author_uid":"12","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 8:35pm","epoch":1346272200,"text":"I'm a fan of vector gfx so I knew as soon as it started I would enjoy this.

Personally I'd ditch the concept of only 3 lives (never make your LD games too hard), and the need to press X (because there is no reason to not shoot), but otherwise this is a great idea."},{"author_name":"hirsch","author_uid":"13747","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 3:36pm","epoch":1346340660,"text":"I like this game.
