I destroyed the world :P Cool game ! It's hard but hey, saving the world should not be an easy task. Great work !

I died too soon and immediately went back to try it again. It wasn't joking around! :O

You really know how to make people want to play your game again.
Really funny, till the end (the real one).

Reminds me of Space Invaders. Very good game, it was fun and challenging.

I didn't save the world. I wish that would stop happening to me :(

Enjoyed that. Good entry, had to turn the sound off though that laser noise was well annoying!

Very innovative, very clever, a bit mean though that you had to refresh exactly 317 times to see the true final screen. Why that number?

Seriously though I really liked it. The game shows the right style of innovative thinking that makes for great game developers.

Dude, you rock. I really like if mechanics expand outside of the real game. Maybe I should delete my cookies and try again ;)

Ha! Got caught too early. Very nicely done, considering the timeframe :)

I'm not sure what to think about this game...

I feel like your are playing with the fact that I only got one chance to save the world but it's inevitable that I'll fail...
I found... this weird... It also annoys me because I keep thinking "what if there were a way to win?" but then I try convince myself otherwise.

Still, since I like bullet hell shmup, this was fun. :)

P.S.: I read on the comments a way to win... I can't believe it, but if it's true, you are a real evil genius! (in a good way :) )

I've seen this done before and still don't like it. I know, it's the theme, but it's frustrating not to let people play again.

Haha interesting idea, It can be played only one time.

One chance indeed! I thought you might have done something like that when the difficulty suddenly increased a lot. ;)

Nice job!
