FIX. THE. CONTROLS.

I'm sure mouse-only controls seemed like a good idea on paper. But in practice, they just don't work. Moving the cursor to both move and aim at the same time is EXTREMELY swkward, because I can't strafe. When enemies are pursuing me as tenaciously as that, and I can only fire at what's in front of me, I have two options: either stop and let enemies hit me as I take aim at other enemies, or keep stopping quickly, turning around, firing, and moviing, hoping that I score a hit. Either option is aggrivating. It's a pity- too. This had the potential to be an addictive shooter in the vein of Geometry Wars, but the controls ruined it.

varstudios responds:

What you descrive is part of the gameplay. It is supposed to be fast and challenging. I was planning on adding a control selection screen, but i felt it might affect scores, so i left it out. Due to the mixed views on the controls however (its seems to be a love/hate situation) i may well add it to any other games like this that i make.

I can't seem to be able to play.

For some reason, I can't fire. This reeeaaallly inhibits gameplay, so it's about as fun as constipation. Unless you're a freak. I think it may be because I use a mac, but I would love to play this game at it's full capacity.

Game does not work on Mac - instant 0

Despite using a Logitech mouse (so you can't blame that) and a completely, fully upgraded version of flash (so you can't blame that), I am unable to fire. 0
