I was surprised how intuitive the controls are.
Levels are a bit too long in my opinion.
My only problem was that my mouse wasn't captured by the game so I kept accidentally clicking on my 2nd desktop and minimizing the game.
(I think that) I understood how the tentacles work... they try to move toward the cursor in a straight line... But this knowledge is pretty much useless when you are being pressured by a lot of enemies. XD
On my first play through, I got the 'extend' power up first, which helped me quite a lot...
Great game and great graphics! I only found the song a little repetitive...
Good job :)
But I'm now currently being hit by the last ship left, sitting on almost no health but not able to die :P
- good re-use of stuff for different levels
- it was cool hearing the music change as level progressed
- i kept clicking off the window even though it was full screen, that made it difficult to play
- i could not figure out how to kill the blimps, but I didn't want to start from the beginning again after i died.
- an option to continue would be nice
- more precise control would help, i often couldn't predict how I was going to swing. after reading comments it seems like maybe the mouse cursor was supposed to be visible, but for me it wasn't
