A fun little game mechanic, it'd be nice to see it explored a bit more. Also seemed like it could be moving about about twice the speed, once you fire off all the ships there is quite a bit of sitting and waiting.

If I get around to updating it for a post-ld version I will be sure to toy with the speed a little :)

Nice idea, but it really is too slow

Nice idea. As others have said, a bit too slow. Also, it seems that there is no disadvantage to launching everything at the same time right now.

Originally the enemy ships were not limited to 3 tractor beams at once, so the game was more about trying to find a path through, a balance between this and how it is now might be nicer. (Thanks for the comments btw guys)

Great idea, but quite difficult in higher levels. I like the graphical presentation.

I liked it! Was a bit on the slow side but still fun none the less. :-)

This is the best game featuring Burnley I have ever played! xD Liked it, but yes I turned the music off pretty quickly, sorry :) Congrats on a good effort!

Very interesting idea although it was a tad too slow for my tastes. The last level is a marvel of game balancing :-)

A speed-up button would have helped, especially after you realize you shot the last ship the wrong way.
