Great job!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>-Z"},{"author_name":"Sichuan","author_uid":"7218","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:16am","epoch":1440472260,"text":"Amazing art.

Things got repetitive kind of quickly, and the controls needed to be tightened.  Lovely art style, and the music fit perfectly.

I liked the teleport mechanic as well as the amusing dialog. I feel like the gameplay could be faster paced though, like faster shooting speed and faster movement speed, or maybe just reduce the amount of &quot;love&quot; used for shooting and running. As it stands now, when on a planet with lots of enemies, it seems like you don't have a lot of options other than mashing the shoot button, then mashing the heal button when you get low on health. You could try to evade them a bit by running, but then that also leaves you out of love and unable to shoot. I think more mobility would make it more fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A couple possible bugs: Is it normal that when you click on a level\/planet system on the menu screen, it gives you ability points? I'm assuming not. Also, some planets seem to spin the wrong way around when you sprint on them (like, objects I'm supposed to be moving towards were suddenly moving away).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall cool entry, nice work.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, come back to GAF. :)"},{"author_name":"TackoramaLtd","author_uid":"54913","time":"Sep 8, 2015 @ 7:51am","epoch":1441698360,"text":"Unbelieably trippy and chilled.
