Oh man, this is game is awesome! It just takes too long to really start. The initial calm part is very well done and adds a lot to the atmosphere, but after you've seen it once, you want to die and get right back to try again!
After four plays the best I got down to was midway through the mantle (5000 left to go?). The music and graphics are great, especially with the changing scenery as you plummit further and further towards the center of the earth.
I have two thoughs on improving the gameplay. First I think there is a bug in firing the weapon, sometimes a shot will make it to the bottom of the screen, and other times the bullet will just disappear part way though the shot. This forced me to just rapid fire in the hopes one of the bullets would hit something. Second it seems the further down you go the harder it is to move around. By the time I got to the mantle, I couldn't steer at all so if something was near me, I was going to hit it. This second bit got very frustrating as I did want to see what happened at the end. I may come back to this after viewing a few other games.
The changing environments were awesome! Got as far as the mantle, but after that the attacking didn't help much. Would've been better if the bullets didn't disappear so soon. But it was fun. The moment when the music starts, that feels so great!
this is awesome , great idea, nice graphics and atmosphere. I especially liked the music in the beginning which had a nice creepy 50s ski-fi music touch and how it evolved with the speed of the game to something more modern.

Great game by the way, had 500 meters to go, and could not get to the finish line....
Loved the transitions of the music and the feeling of free fall.
Shoot commercial Planes of evil was refreshing ^ ^
