It gets harder to control the ships so fast in the last moments of the game, i would add mouse pointing for the ship to be more precise on the combat.\nHowever, this is a very good entry, and the art & music is 10\/10\nGreat job! :v: \n\n","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":793535,"author_name":"Olguinne","author_uid":"olguinne","epoch":1649184073,"text":"The controls were a bit tough - I felt enemies alwways moved better no matter how I tried.

They're comfortable, but the response from button to fire is pretty slow, and navigating is a bit confusing at times. It took me up to the third try to actually get the hang of moving the ship around.\n\nThe graphics are decent, and the music's pretty great, having a calm but serious e-piano tune carry the game. But the one strong quality this game has is its deadpan humor, especially with the implied awareness from Control of the inevitability of the planet's fate. Good job! :thumbsup: ","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":802677,"author_name":"Rionisse","author_uid":"rionisse","epoch":1649257660,"text":"Controls are a bit hard, but overall a solid game with good sense of progression ","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":810610,"author_name":"binroot","author_uid":"binroot","epoch":1649344896,"text":"The upgrades were nicely spaced out - I got an opportunity to try all of time.
