Instead of shooting enemies, you tried to disinfect them.</li>\n<li>Gamepad support works well.</li>\n<li>The game dev diaries, I always enjoy reading behind-the-scene stories from the creator. It’s nice to understand the thinking, the design process, and also the craftsmanship behind a project. I also learn that you sketch and design the game assets on your own. Great job!</li>\n<li>The spaceship design! The color scheme and the shapes remind me of Star Fox on N64. Well done!</li>\n<li>The 3D landscape looks great. I like you put attention to details: trees, rocks, and the moon.</li>\n<li>Good game UI: HUD, score, and menu.</li>\n<li>Good Sound FX.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>What could be improved:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>I cannot start the game by pressing fire on my gamepad (xbox360 controller on Chrome &amp; MacOS). Firing inside the game works though with the gamepad.</li>\n<li>Once you pass level 5, the game could be too hard (since there are too many collisions happen among the missiles &amp; the ships). But sometimes the level could be too easy as you can beat it by shooting rapidly to different directions.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":222244321,"author":"Lee Reilly","login":"leereilly","gh":121322,"url":"https://leereilly.net","twitter":"leereilly","text":"<p>This was fun, despite a few minor performance issues on my Macbook. I can imagine The Star Fox nerd in me would have played this for hours at a time back in the day! Nice use of jsfxr also. One thing I’d think about, is a way to make this more challenging e.g. die on collision, enemies fire their own weapons, ships reset to red after N seconds, etc. Easier said that done… especially in 13kB.</p>\n"}],"results":{"primary":{"i":86,"n":200},"label":"Overall"}}
