It's a pretty fun game. The particles and effects are really flashy and cool. It was annoying that sometimes the ships sometimes didn't aim at the enemies that were closest to me.

Gameplay's smooth and intense - it felt like a ballet when I was doing well, and then I got totally overwhelmed around phase 7 and it became more of a frantic jig. Great visual effects; the pulses of color around things helped a lot with keeping track of what was going on. Some music to go with the visuals would have been a nice improvement, but honestly it works in silence too. One of the best games I've seen in this jam so far - great work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mukult","author_uid":1004229,"time":"2017-12-05T06:49:42Z","epoch":1512456582,"modified":1512456582,"text":"Wow!!

I feel like this game would have really been enhanced with some sound effects, although through my own sound effect experience I know that's not always the easiest thing to do on a time crunch. The gameplay was really fun, although I did get screwed a couple times by the fact that the squad doesn't necessarily aim at the closest enemy. I enjoyed the game overall, though!
