Really liked the ZX Spectrum styled visuals and enjoyed the metroid-y exploration style aspect of shooting the rocks to find secrets.
Turning on the spot is difficult, but other than that lots of fun.
Awesome, well put together! The graphics are great. The particle effects and the lasers looked really cool.
The player walk sound was very bassy on our speakers. The background music was pretty catchy!
if anyone ever manage to beat level 14, let me know! Remember you can skip levels by pressing CTRL-n.
Nice Game! Gave me Atari flashbacks, now I am going to have to go to the store for an Icee. :P
Brilliantly put together little game! Combat and navigation is very old school, which fits the visuals and audio perfectly. The only suggestion I would make is, as ehtd said, the destructible rocks having a slightly different texture. Then again, I guess it encourages exploration.
Well done :)
Really enjoyed this little game!! I included it in part 4 of my MiniLD 53 compilation video series, if you would want to check it out :) http://youtu.be/sE32NxL_fMg

Fun game, played to level 4. I was on Safari and it ran a bit slow, maybe later I'll play on Chrome.
I would change the texture of the destructible rocks, to make them different from the solid rocks.
Good job.
