shaheenery, the game is in 8-bit. It's SUPPOSED to have "bad" graphics. :/
The jokes are bad because your "other self" is demented and is trying to creep you out. That's the humor of it.
Now, eh, stfu, you have NO IDEA what "Bad" graphics are. As long as you can see what's going on, the graphics are not "bad'.
Alien ships actually are not stronger. They are equal to human ships in every way except for size. They are HUGE in comparison to Human ships, and are easy to hit. :D Try playing for humans and you'll find it's remarkably easy to hit your opponents.
Guys, STOP SUGGESTING THINGS FOR THIS GAME. There will be a sequel, and pretty much everything you've all mentioned so far will probably be included. :D Just wait until summer 2010, it should be out by then.
Donkeyboy, you're an idiot.
Stop rating it low because multiplayer was disabled. If you got here too late, TOO BAD. Now go the hell away. This game is plenty fun in singleplayer.
