I figured out that you change the color after pressing the one button, and move with the other one. However, sometimes I'm able to charge my shot without shooting anything(until I change the angle, which releases a shot immediately). It took me also quite a while to figure out that you have to press space to enter the next level. It certainly needs more polish, as do the graphics.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I really enjoyed your game.\r<br\/>Great job!"},{"author_name":"RadMcCool","author_uid":"56816","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 11:25am","epoch":1450092000,"text":"Yeah I need to work on conveyance.
