It just needs to progress much faster. My first try, I got about half way through (I think, ~chaos 8), and a score of 15437 (I think) in ten minutes and 31 seconds.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After 10 minutes, though, I don't want to replay it. I know I'd have to play for another 20 minutes to get to the end, and I'd probably lose the first time I see the boss (if there is one). Knowing in advance that I'd probably have to invest at least another 40 minutes or so to see the ending makes me not want to do it."},{"author_name":"Hume","author_uid":"11218","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 4:32pm","epoch":1336321620,"text":"Can't play Windows-only games this LD, which is too bad because this looks great!

It's fun and very responsive, and the spinning background is gorgeous.\r<br\/>That said, I missed some more variety on the action, and the music became a little bit grating after 15 minutes straight listening to it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Having a very similar concept on my own entry, it's nice to see how it could've turned out should I'd went with the keyboard-based control, as I did originally, instead of using the mouse. The other difference being that your game is actually playable and fun, and it looks like that really makes a difference! Go figure!!
