Nice job."},{"author_name":"UrbanHelsing","author_uid":"44682","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 8:28pm","epoch":1451247780,"text":"Fun, but the ship is difficult to control.

I wonder if that's the problem that The Merge Conflicts was having, too? I can't get it to lock in thrust mode- it there some situation in which it consistently locks up for you?"},{"author_name":"synthetic-entropy","author_uid":"66333","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 9:43pm","epoch":1451252280,"text":"I laughed, I cried...

The grey skin and moving eyes add a nice touch to the creepy atmosphere :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The fact that you can't fly through the head itself makes the controls quite hard but as i went to the end i suppose that it was not too difficult !"},{"author_name":"_benhumphries","author_uid":"60146","time":"Jan 2, 2016 @ 1:23am","epoch":1451697480,"text":"Cool concept, but the gameplay itself is kind of dull. The movement is hard to control, but I like how the eyes follow you around and I like how you thought of the shaping idea with the outline."},{"author_name":"KilledByAPixel","author_uid":"2075","time":"Jan 2, 2016 @ 3:25am","epoch":1451704800,"text":"Funny idea but execution needs work. Controls don't seem to fit the game at all. The green bar at the bottom is confusing. I am stuck on the second level for the second time after resetting and still don't know how to progress."},{"author_name":"Aurel B\u00edl\u00fd","author_uid":"1645","time":"Jan 3, 2016 @ 11:01am","epoch":1451818560,"text":"Very fun. I guess this is what being a barber feels like! I liked the beard growing effects, too. Kind of scary when you got really close. And there's a lot of polish to be done, but I guess you know that :)"},{"author_name":"The Merge Conflicts","author_uid":"64923","time":"Jan 4, 2016 @ 4:09am","epoch":1451880240,"text":"@Gjarble: The main problem for me is just how &quot;slippery&quot; the ship is. It seems like whenever I move in one direction then try to stop or turn, I keep going in that direction with a ton of force for a long time. I would just decrease how much the ship continues to move in it's current direction after the input is ceased or changed to a new direction. Hope that made sense :P If you ever change this, let me know, I'd love to try it again after adjustments."},{"author_name":"johntherobot","author_uid":"63970","time":"Jan 4, 2016 @ 6:26pm","epoch":1451931660,"text":"Fun!
