This is a great horror game. The way you invoke fear by forcing the player to practically blind themselves to even have a chance to fight back, entering a world even darker the one they can see, it's utterly fantastic. Then there's the subtle commentary on the current state of marketing, and how everything is so saturated with advertisements you can't so much as click without being bombarded by them. Especially horrific is the subtext of how marketers can appeal to the most basic human flaws (the co-pilot = lust, flashy graphics = greed, etc.), give empty accomplishments (the achievements), and barely put effort into gameplay, yet the masses will flock to it like sheep, only to realize far to late that they've been wasting their life. This game easily earns a 5/5, for it's excellent symbolism and harsh commentary on the current state of advertising in games.

annoying sound track, a great amount of lag, and every time you click a page for kong pops up its not worth trying to get achievements. press + if you agree

lol at the comments at the top all the same, first of all yes this game has a problem opening a new window BUT for crying out loud when you press play close the window, go back to the game, pause and switch auto fire on, then close any windows, now you will be able to play without clicking anything and no windows will open! voila! PLEASE RATE THIS UP because people are still complaining

Dammit all of you guys complain about the slightest problems... like many people have saying...just use auto-fire..and don't have an o.c.d. attack and click the screen..really simple :P

Got the easy badge on this just now. All you need to do is leave the first tab open, click to shoot, leave that tab open, then you should be shooting fine. Just leave the windows open, it seems to spawn a new window for every different clicking event, but only once per event. It is playable. Just annoying. 2/5

The first thing I noticed about this game was... clicking _anywhere_ on the game screen equals a link to Kongregate. Does it make the game _unplayable_? No. Is it annoying? In the _extreme_. Not the greatest of starts to the game. The next thing I noticed was... Annie. I can't put my finger on why, but her voice gives me the slightest case of the chills. Play the game for about 30 seconds and you should hear what I mean. Now, _hold your horses, it gets better!_ The controls are easier to handle than other such games I've played ("Areas":http://www.kongregate.com/games/Ridiculous/areas comes to mind), I found the method to upgrading very efficient (no menus to worry about!) and the pause menu redeems the game with a solution to both of the main problems (just don't click after you turn on autofire. Ever.). Overall, it's a decent game when you actually play it, but the main problems, to be honest, make a bad first impression and lower my rating of the game. 3.5/5

buggy and enemy spawn locations are plain stupid. pointless game if the only reason ur losing lives is becase asteroids are being created on u...

Note to everybody! Pause the game and turn "auto fire" ON. You wont have to click and open the stupid kongregate page. Even with doing that, it didnt get me any achievements, though.

To all those complaining about the game - it's over 2 years old, and I bet that at the time it was a pretty cool game. Hell, it's a decent game now, even if it lacks some of the basic things we've come to expect from such a game. And the ancient Kong API/Referral really sucks.

I'm also not having the shooting opening a new page issue. I am having an issue with this seeming like a pretty lame version of Heavy Weapons, with no ship customizations, and enemies whose AI consists of 'shoot randomly and suicide ram into player'. Good graphics and sound with a lot of potential - I'm a bit surprised this has badges though. 3/5

the controls worked for me, no shooting glitch at all :/ maybe it depends on what version of ie or ff etc. youre using?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well a way to do it is to hold the mouse button and just shoot and dont let go. when the button is let go the tab still appears, so hold out till achievements have been gained.

yep not only in firefox even in internet explorer xD
but yeah if you pause the game and activiate auto fire its playable. But is it just me or is the game primary about collecting stuff (debris,power pods, power ups) and the enemies just happen to be flying around and you have to dodge them

Okay, I asked the creator. It only happens in firefox, and its not his fault, its a adobe flashplayer screw up. The creator also told me he is trying to fix it.
+ this up for now, so others know.

The bug is no problem, just hold down your mouse button and kill. Collect shields and hearts and you will get the hard, it should be more like a medium.

Everytime I click it opens a new window.... even if autofire is there, this is the most ANNOYING bug I have ever seen. It's LITERALLY game-killing. 1/5 and how did this get badged?
