Sound effects qre good and graphism are not bad at all. But, maybe it's me but I cant go really far. There is too much stuff comming to your face, making the game too hard to be enjoyable...

Good concept, but never made it very far. The laser graphics cues show strong game design ideas - just show me them a little longer before the missile comes!

Bugs: typo in game over message, start button doesn't actually work on the button, exit button doesn't seem to work.

Mac version worked fine! the game was very fun to play! I could never get to the enemy though :)

I think that your idea was great and the missiles flying into your face were suprisingly well aimed, but it could have been a bit more related to the theme. The soundeffects could be improved.

Fun little thing, it's really rudimentary but it has a certain charm to it.

Here are some frustrating choices you made though, that made the experience irritating:

1. For some reason I automatically think W is down and S is up - I don't play inverse usually, but I instinctively reacted that way. I think it has to do with clockwise/anticlockwise. So I had to play with my keyboard flipped. Wonder if anyone else is like that.

2. Having to click a button after you die THEN press space is... unoptimised. Two space taps. Or two mouse clicks. Why both??!

Quite a fun, difficult game.

The laser effects, with the beep, beep, beep, and red lines were really well done, and gave just enough time to try and dodge the missiles.

It was frantic at times, and the lasers and beeps helped with it, but I managed to finally hit the city.

And I did it without using the cheat I discovered: if you fly up and to the left, you can fly over the mountain range there and then go underneath the world. Then you can fly all the way to the end without threat...until the end. You then have to contend with missiles as you fly up and over the mountain range and backtrack to the city. I came close twice doing it this way, but I always missed the city, and I'm glad I managed to do it legitimately.

Really fun! A bit of polish and it would be awesome sauce!
