Maybe if the enemies\/rocks glowed or sparked on impact it'd be more obvious that something was happening. Scratches, soot, whatever you need to add to make sure people understand that they are being affected. Even if I don't quite understand the connection to the theme, it was pretty fun!"},{"author_name":"Uberi","author_uid":"14126","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 11:04pm","epoch":1346281140,"text":"As Cake&amp;Code said, it became difficult to tell if my projectiles were actually doing anything to my targets since there was no response to successful hits. That said, this is a fun game and has more depth than the average top-down spaceship shooter."},{"author_name":"nseward","author_uid":"15218","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 5:14pm","epoch":1346346540,"text":"Very slick product.
