The premise is super cool, but the execution simply needs more. It is kind of entertaining that after you use the enemies bullets you basically throw the powerup back at them which kills them.\r\rIt's entertaining, but unfortunately there simply isn't enough gameplay to warrant playing over and over. I played through it twice. Like I said, it's neat, and I like the concept, but there simply isn't enough of it to really grip the player.\r\rNEEDS MOAR GALAGA! (I kid, I kid)\r\rtl;dr\rGreat concept, needs more gameplay to truly be able to stand on it's own."},{"author_name":"mockthebear","author_uid":"16447","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 7:04pm","epoch":1450292340,"text":"Best shooter so far."},{"author_name":"3rdChance","author_uid":"66008","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 8:10pm","epoch":1450296300,"text":"I like the implementation and the graphics are interesting.

The power stealing mechanic was fun but just not by itself. I think it is a nice start, and keep working on it."},{"author_name":"Big Cow","author_uid":"51323","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 10:07pm","epoch":1450303320,"text":"I really enjoyed this. Showing my age but I like galaga clones and this is the first one i've played this year in the compo :). Nice and simple a few varied power ups, not too hard, nice last resort with the boomerang thing and throwing\/taking the P out of them :) lol. Decent tune.

And this is not only because I am a sucker for vertical shooters. \r\rI liked the simple, very clear and very interesting game mechanics. The limited amount of bullets led to that I constantly had to experiment with different strategies. I liked the status display - very clear and concise, and still very clear what the player was up to with the shapes and colors. The graphics have a clear and nice style, and the music set a fitting mood. The controls were responsive, and worked exactly as they should. The downside might be that the take on the theme wasn't that impressive.\r\rI would very much like to play a more fleshed out post-Ludum Dare version of this. Well done!!"},{"author_name":"Aaranos","author_uid":"51253","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 7:17pm","epoch":1450638720,"text":"The game is fun to play and is rather inventive. I do like that the number of weapons vary and the difficulty gets harder as time goes on.\r\rWhat I did not like is that the enemies left if I took too long. I am guessing it is because if you have no weapon you can't take them out if they are all already stolen from."},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"10217","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 12:55am","epoch":1450659000,"text":"The first time through I missed the control explanation. I figured it out after a while but it confused me.\r\rAlso this game is definitely at least 3 button controls. I'd go as far as to say 6 button controls :P\r\rI was fun though! The graphics were simple but really good! I managed to get to the end a get an 'S' rank.
