Loved this game! Was super fun and I really enjoyed the random planet types, especially when we got the slippery planets. Take this one or leave it, I did find fun with the control scheme being slightly counter intuitive with the facing of your character but the aiming being on the "pendulum timer" style definitely made it a little harder than my taste. Overall really great adaptation to this style game and had a blast playing online multiplayer with my brother!

Thanks! It’s funny that you liked the slippery planets because I don’t and I was very tempted to remove them. I’m glad someone likes them :)
Thanks for your feedback about the controls. I guess I’m used to the “pendulum timer” shooting style because I don’t see it as a problem at all. I will change it to aiming with the mouse and see how it feels. I’m worried it will affect the fast pace, encouraging players to spend more time aiming for the perfect shot instead of just shooting. But I will try it and see.
It’s great that you played online, we put a lot of effort in making online multiplayer work reasonably well but since we don’t have enough players it’s usually hard to find someone to play with.
