Nice graphics and sounds. Great gameplay idea yet the controls are very difficult to use.

The grapics look awesome and the audio really adds a sense of urgency to the game. The gameplay is fun but is let down by the controls. Overall, it's a fun game to play!

Cool idea! Well executed and enjoyable. That helicopter is relentless though. Maybe you can Tractor Beam some soldiers to shoot it down?

Cool idea. Would have been nice to have more indication of which way your ship was facing due to the tank controls when using a keyboard. It also didn't seem like there was ever a reason to /not/ be using your tractor beam, other than holding space seemed to screw up the steering? Not sure if that was intentional, but the keyboard controls seemed a bit clunky overall.

I failed at controlling my ship all the time, because I wanted to turn around on the spot :-) The game gives a nice feeling of cleaning up. Like that. Graphics are quite somehow appealing to me.

I like the graphics style but perspective is odd to me (but hey, I'm from another planet). Gameplay should be polished a little bit imho.

Controls feel a bit stiff, kind of ruining it for me, but still rated it very well, nice idea and nice game :)

Actually a really well made game. I think one of the best ones I've rated so far. There's not much I can really criticize besides maybe the weird-ish controls! Great job! I'll rate very well :)

Nice idea, I love the graphic style but controls are reacting in a strange manner.

Overall good game design.
But control is difficult.

Really liked the graphics and concept. Controls were a little hard to master at first, once you get used to them the game was fun.

love this visual style! Controls were a little rough, but the game was polished enough

Found the controls really hard to get to grips with, maybe you could try a move to mouse click control system or have wasd map directly to the screen space left/right/up/down.

It's a cool idea but it needs better controls.

very cool. A little hard to control but fun. Congratulations
