Good and fast gameplay. A little too fast for me--I couldn't handle the attackers popping out of nowhere. But I enjoyed playing it.

kept clicking away the tutorials by accident. looks interesting though.

Cool idea! Nice work on the HUD too :D

A nice entry but with very difficult gameplay. The enemies usually come from the direction your going leaving very little chance of surviving.

It's way to easy to bypass the tutorial screen in play. Fast and hard and I still wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be doing. Some of the colors were hard to see on my monitor. I think you could have a decent game here with just some slight polish.

BTW, appreciate the JSIL build.

Nice game, love the concept and the art, well done :D

Quite good, nice graphics. But not very original concept.

Liked this yeah. The talking head reminded me of an episode of Red Dwarf so that was a good start ;)
Then the gameplay itself was compelling. The regular upgrade system was a great idea. I only scored 2786 but found there's certainly a touch of tactical play involved in avoiding the herd of baddies.

Really enjoyed playing! I had to reload the game though as I skipped past the tuorial the first time and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to avoid the other things or not. Reading it helped for my following runs ;)

I like the gameplay and the parallax background, nice :) The sound was really loud, could be toned down a bit. Apart from that, all good!
