Starting with epic space fight, I felt some hope until I realized that the green line, that was so long that didn't even fit to the screen, was enemy's health bar. It's hardly a fair fight. \n\nI did my best but unfortunately, I managed to end the entire world :-\/ I must admit there really were rsigns. I cannot say I  haven't been warned. \n\nAs always, I appreciate custom fonts, super-weird vibe and frantic chaotic action :) I feel there were less chaos and screaming this time. Or maybe I'm just used to it and I slowly starting to need higher doses. But at the end of the day, I reached super high score, so I did well.
