Then I accidently hit space while on the ground and realized I could rotate like a turret and take them down that way (much easier). \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I do want to say, K is a really awkward key to restart the level. Hunting for a key in the middle of my keyboard keeps me from getting back into the action.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Definitely a lot of fun, good particle effects and animations."},{"author_name":"ekajjake","author_uid":"48260","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:42am","epoch":1440560220,"text":"Quite an interesting game!"},{"author_name":"voidstar33","author_uid":"55576","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 8:06pm","epoch":1440619260,"text":"Nice game.

The tree felt really heavy, and would fall very quickly, while the rockets didn't feel nearly as strong.  It was really easy to lose control of the tree, so it made it hard to play the game.  That said, I did score above 4000, so that's good.  I did think that different way of killing = different score was a really nice touch.  Would have liked some background music."}],"images":["ld33\/15043-1b15648ca9b4d1c4444582546136a895.jpg","ld33\/15043-4da4d8677ff8254662f6c9ccc645e658.jpg","ld33\/15043-f27841d6ac20b39bab8b7967423ab5b0.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/pcnogueira.com.br\/jogos\/monstreeum\/","text":"Web (HTML5)"},{"url":"http:\/\/pcnogueira.com.br\/jogos\/monstreeum\/monstreeum.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"8472","g_author":"15043","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"8505","g_title":"MONSTREEUM","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"527","g_commentcount":"22","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/15043-shot0-1440371739.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/15043-shot1-1440371739.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/15043-shot2-1440371739.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You must HOLD up for the tree to take off.
