I'd like to play a more hashed out version.  The controls were a bit difficult to use since everything was clumped up in one spot, arrow keys for movement or changing shape would have been ideal so you could use both hands.  That said, I had fun with this and while difficult I thought it was very clever."},{"author_name":"icefallgames","author_uid":"11319","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 2:21am","epoch":1461550560,"text":"Very cool concept. Love the idea of customizing your ship like that... shields, weapons, boosters all in the place I want. \r<br\/>Graphics are also very crisp. Some nice touches, like the contrails on the rockets (I wish they made a sound though).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some critiques:\r<br\/>- by going slowly I never really needed to swap the ship much - just for going through narrow sections.\r<br\/>- the layout editor didn't work very well, it never dropped the components where I wanted - not sure if it's a mouse accuracy problem with the HTML5 version or what.\r<br\/>- couldn't figure out how to get rid of dead components, and sometimes I left that good components just vanished.\r<br\/>- it was unclear what the level goals were. Kill all enemies? Reach a certain point? I got to level 4 (I think), and killed everyone (I think), but never got the &quot;level completed&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, a really need concept though - it would be cool to see it taken further."},{"author_name":"ZirconCode","author_uid":"5338","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 1:26pm","epoch":1461590460,"text":"Extremely cool idea and very well executed!
