I liked this game, interesting twist on a classic game mechanic. It would be nice if the game was more frenetic, and the enemies had different movement and shot behaviors, or the paddle had different in game upgrades like arkanoid. It would be cool to instead of having a health bar, if you used bitmap data and erased a chunk out of the earth graphic. Look forward to seeing more from you!
For some reason the controls got a janky on me. Down would move left, left would go to sneak, then it would just rotate, very strange. Kind of critical bug. Good looking game though.
I may change going up and down and starting at the beginning of the bar each time. It seems right to me, because it's a way to restart your position, and you can cover more ground. I can see your point though, very valid and taken into account.
I will also try a version with just more bars every level.
Thanks for the input, I hope you enjoy the game :)
