Rocket Pods seemed a little over powered and I wasn't sure what to do with the torpedo. Other than that though, it was really fun, I came back to play again, and I loved the setting. In my opinion, kickassery is you."},{"author_name":"Winterblood","author_uid":"4051","time":"May 3, 2011 @ 8:00pm","epoch":1304452500,"text":"Enjoyable shooter with an interesting loadout mechanic, but I found it a bit clunky switching from keys to mouse to buy new weapons while under attack. Would have preferred a keyboard-controlled menu so I didn't have to keep switching input devices."},{"author_name":"shiftingParadigms","author_uid":"4002","time":"May 4, 2011 @ 2:51am","epoch":1304477160,"text":"I think its a good base.  The graphics are good and concept is solid.  The gameplay could use some work, I felt the weapons were a little unbalanced, but that could just be me not getting it completely.  Great work!"},{"author_name":"hamster_mk_4","author_uid":"4265","time":"May 4, 2011 @ 4:50am","epoch":1304484300,"text":"@gamemakingdude : Jettisoning the weapon pod was part of the original design, but in testing I found it didn't really make the game better. I left it in there for when I expand this to the concept I originally had in mind.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Winterblood: The letters Q,W,E,R,A,S,D,F letters next to the price indicate keyboard shortcuts for those items.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thank you all for playing and commenting.

I'm not sure though.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work, should def develop this further."},{"author_name":"AndrewBC","author_uid":"2578","time":"May 5, 2011 @ 4:18pm","epoch":1304611980,"text":"This was -really- fun.

I really like the ship designs, and the core concept is excellent.
