If the gap was removed from it, I'm sure I'd enjoy it even more than I already have. Quite entertaining and quick, and I laughed at the story.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only a minor issue with some bombs not dishing out the damage, but I stilled enjoyed it."},{"author_name":"Cake&amp;Code","author_uid":"10976","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 10:52pm","epoch":1335307620,"text":"It was easy to play and get into.

My only beef was that it was dizzying."},{"author_name":"whitebird","author_uid":"11036","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 8:38pm","epoch":1335472380,"text":"Fun little game, truly unique gameplay.

The fact it happens on a circle is a nice twist (hah, I made a pun!) It was also a touch nauseating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good work!"},{"author_name":"RHY3756547","author_uid":"7339","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 3:03pm","epoch":1335711480,"text":"Really fun, I loved how at the end of the story you apologized about it. It was okay! The music was certainly... Frantic, the sound effects and graphics were good though."},{"author_name":"JonathanG","author_uid":"11515","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 7:23pm","epoch":1335727080,"text":"Quite a lot of fun, but it got very difficult to tell what was going on, especially when the planet expanded really fast! The story was very funny, as was the title!
