Quite nice! At first it was a bit confusing, but I got into it quickly. Really nice one button game, good job!

Fun Idea, I like it much!

Interesting Idea, It is difficult to know what you are doing. Nice graphics though!

nardom 2013-12-16 22:31

Insanely hard to control, but interesting concept. It feels like a blend of space invaders + shmup + tetris. But I already said so on TS,.. props for actually finishing! (Nagato 2014! shameless plug)

Fun idea. I found it worked best to just somewhat align the jet under an enemy and then mash the space bar to spray shots in the general direction of the enemy. Rinse and repeat, got me a score of 18, I think.

Very interesting idea. Took a minute to figure out what's going on though.

Nice and challenging. Good job!

The 1-control system is very innovative, tetris meets shoot 'em up. Well done. :)

Can't play windows games...

Nice job! Controls took me a bit to figure out as well, but I thought it was a cool idea once I did.

moosefly 2013-12-17 20:44

This was really cool! It's just like Tetris and Space Invaders combined like Nardom said. The control scheme really added a strategic feel to the game and it tied to the theme nicely!

Sounds, better graphics, powerups(?), different enemies and the like would all have been cool, but I liked it as is, good job.

thalikoth 2013-12-17 20:55

There should have been sound, but in the end I had a problem with it, which I did not have resolved yet. I had been thinking about powerups, but I decided to get some sleep instead :)

Really amazing idea, never seen anything like that before!

piat 2013-12-17 22:28

Interesting execution, found it a little frustrating for my taste by still well executed.

chiguireitor 2013-12-17 22:57

F-01 fighter lol. Nice idea. Would love to see this idea extended further. Your game suits well mobile environments btw.

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-20 21:11

A good interpretation of the theme.

chrismingay 2013-12-21 10:21

Haha, interesting concept, nice one :) I was able to feel in control when I wasn't being shot at, but the second fire was returned I began to struggle

lilinx 2013-12-21 13:40

it's more original than most 1-button games around here

daveloper 2013-12-21 19:54

Interesting concept, but infuriating to play. Feels like a slot machine. If you tweaked the concept further it would've played better in my opinion.

danman9914 2013-12-22 19:26

The premise is innovative and an awesome use of the theme but it was not executed well. Perhaps a visible queue of upcoming moves would help? Also removing useless combinations like Up + Down

jarnik 2013-12-22 21:43

Hey, nice concept, I like it a lot!
Longer steps could might be more useful for better tactical use of the upcoming maneuvers. Otherwise I just kept on bashing the space, until I got into a position to shoot. Sometimes I just kept circling in one corner with aliens keeping to the other, which was a bit tiresome.

nicotr014 2013-12-24 09:55

Really nice concept... It's like Tetris + space invaders.. I like games that say "screw you" to the player.

gilborn 2013-12-25 23:31

Cool idea, well done!

snoringfrog 2014-01-05 03:35

Interesting idea, it was more fun than I thought it would be.
