Fits the theme, the graphics are wonderful and the gameplay works great. My only real negative tick is that if you play it to completion the fuzz sound effect in the backdrop starts to grate.

There is a lot of polish on this game. You did some nice shader work that made this game have a really unique look, The ambient music was nice, and it was really fun to play! Especially as you grew bigger.\r<br\/>I had to start over a couple times before I was able to beat it. The game isn't too long so it's not that bad but going through the beginning each time was a bit slow. Maybe having checkpoints could help with that? Also I encountered a bug where one of the crew members was firing through a wall (I could only see the laser shining through the wall) and I wasn't sure what was happening so I went up to the wall and I died.\r<br\/>Other than that it was very impressive and I really enjoyed it!"},{"author_name":"andyman404","author_uid":"45696","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:53am","epoch":1440388080,"text":"Awesome game!
