Wasn't expecting that, to say the least. Also, I can't seem to quit the ending screen.\n\nReally aesthetic game, that switching idea gave me an Ikaruga feel. Only thing I didn't like was how much vertical and horizontal movement differ. Evading ghosts vertically was about 400% more problematic than dodging their buddies placed on horizontal sections.\n\nMusic and mood were great. The effects really helped a lot. Cool game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jeremy Ryan","author_uid":"1015034","time":"2017-08-01T04:25:43Z","epoch":1501561543,"modified":1501561543,"text":"Interesting play on the theme.

The arrow keys would have done the trick more nicely I guess.\n\nI quit the game after getting killed in level two, this is not really very appealing to me.\n\nStill, a solid entry, like I said, really liked the intro, very good job there, keep up the good work!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Gildar76","author_uid":"1008278","time":"2017-08-04T21:39:28Z","epoch":1501882768,"modified":1501882768,"text":"Very interesting game, and nice use of the theme.
