Reply to this commentinstead of bring in new ideas, let make the control more difficult, what an advancement in gaming
Reply to this commentthe turning is not very good.
Reply to this commentGreat! I spent part of the night playing it.
Reply to this commentFREEZES UP A LOT!!!! But fun game and NO LEVEL TWO!!!
Reply to this commentwhat sap
Reply to this commentthis game is sweet. works perfectly besides turning isn't as sharp as i want it to be.
Reply to this commentWhat is it for the warp zone?
Reply to this commentAwesome game! Disappointed that there is no level 2! XD Can be difficult to control sometimes.
Reply to this commentExcellent!!! Great work!
Reply to this commentI love this game, I hope you expand on it! The mouse controls are really well done.
Reply to this commentGreat, great game. really wonderful to play at!
Reply to this commentI really like this game, fun to play and easy to control with the mouse
Reply to this commentits a good game but is awkward to comtrol it would be better if you used wasd or the arrow keys to move.
Reply to this commentThe mouse gives you the extra analogue control which the keys don't have.
Reply to this commentAwkward to control but still nice overall. Hail HTML5!
Reply to this commentbeautiful game

Reply to this comment1/5 for disabling right-click. You don't deserve to be featued among examples of progressive web development when you code like it's 1996
Reply to this commentI TROLL U
Reply to this commentRight-click wasn't disabled, it is used in the game to buy a crystal power-up. The default browser action of popping up a context menu had to be suppressed while playing, otherwise I could not use the button for an in-game action. If you want to examine the DOM, pause the game first. This restores the contextual menu.
Reply to this commentYou can always use a browser that respects your choice to have your right-click available when you choose to. Use Opera 10.50 and edit site preferences (F12) > scripting > unckeck "allow scripts to detect context menu events"
Reply to this commentPS: I'll do whatever I want
Reply to this commentits awesome guys
Reply to this commenti love this game survival is fucking hard haha
Reply to this commentgreat game, love the control, but sometimes it difficult to get certain direction.
Reply to this commentLittle bug, On the main menu. To choose New Game or such. You have to right-click instead of left click. This is really a pain. Since it brings the right-click context menu too. Can you fix this please
Reply to this commentSimply awesome. I especially love the controls :D Works way better than arrows in my opinion. It just offers the extra prevision, keys can't give. There is a graphical bug in Safari (Safari 4.0.4 an Mac OS X 10.6.2). When I play the game in fullscreen 8or rather big picture, Safari does not yet offer real fullscreen for HTML5) some graphics won't appear. For example, the big rocks are always visible, but thesmall fractures are not. Same goes for enemy ships. i can only see them exploding, bu not when they are approaching.
The difficulty is quite OK. Every time I got a bit further, and in the end I managed to get to the boss without dying once. Simly addicitve gameplay at its best
Reply to this commentIncredible job.
Reply to this commentI'm in the wrong window to play this game I think
Reply to this commentge
Reply to this commentlevel complete!
Reply to this commentGreat game! More proof that we don't need flash!
Reply to this commentgood work! performs well and plays well
Reply to this commentcool, the best one
Reply to this commentUsing the mouse in this fashion is certainly different, exciting, and addictive - but it requires quite a bit of skill to master. If the ship automatically moved and locked to the nearest target or something of that nature, it would be better.
Reply to this commentBut surely then all you would be doing is clicking repeatedly?
Reply to this commenti want to play crystal galaxy
Reply to this commentcool game, bet it would keep some busy when they should be doing something else in front of there puters. :)
Reply to this commentI can't use the scroll bar on the right, so I can't fit the game properly into my window. I have to use the scroll wheel on my mouse, so I either lose the very top or very bottom edge.
Reply to this commentgreat game. little steep difficulty curve though
Reply to this commentvery addictive, I could waste vast amounts of valuable time on this. Looks great too
Reply to this commentso good!
Reply to this commenthi
Reply to this commentamazing!
Reply to this commentFor everyone wanting to fix the control scheme, etc. Why not go get an EffectGames account and build a game to your own specs? I think you'll be really satisfied with the results :)
Reply to this commentVery nice game, and it appears to run quite smooth in Opera 10.10 browser, too :)
Reply to this commentwho could tell me that why chrom can run it faster than other explorers..~_~..??
Reply to this commentDerp...this is CHROME experiments. Not IE, Firefox, Opera, or whatever experiments.
Reply to this commentdamn.. good at all
Reply to this commentHey guys, I fixed the bug on the final boss. He should always be defeatable now. Sorry about that!
Reply to this commentThe idea of using the mouse is brilliant! Perfect
Reply to this commentThis is an awesome game... for those that complain about the controls, this game works great with a Wacom tablet and pen as the control... almost as if it was made for a Wacom tablet... easy to move and point your ship.
Reply to this commentOk update: From 224 seconds to 476... with 14 options and shields I became invincible, I would've lasted longer if it weren't for the lag! Awesome game, make it harder, Oh and I got the glitch where the boss just kept moving back and forth without shooting missiles Chrome 4.0.296.30 (It doesn't work well with this, I have to launch it 10 times before it is working well)
Reply to this commentSweet game, really shows how much Javascript and HTML can do, but I agree with Tristan--the controls are funky, and not in a good way. It's nary impossible to get the ship to point where you want it to point.
Reply to this commentWow, this is really good! I agree that you could probably charge for this, but the gameplay is a wee bit unbalanced. I got all the way to the warp zone without losing a life, then died twice there and couldn't beat the boss. Still, very fun!
Reply to this commentReally nice game and imho the experiment with the biggest potential here. It shows how much you can do with only JS and HTML in a web browser!!!
Reply to this commentSo awesome! I would pay for this! It takes me back to the days when I played games at penny arcades. This sort of side-scrolling flight adventure with massive boss fights is exactly what I want from games.
Reply to this commentFun, I like it. Though it would be nice knowing where my mouse is.
Reply to this commentThe framework behind this game looks very promising.
Reply to this commentNice and smooth graphics! However the control scheme is horrible. Arrow key controls would be nice.
Reply to this commentyou better play "asteroids"
Reply to this commentVery fun.
It is just that I am really bad and can't enjoy it. haha
Reply to this commentIt plays well and since this is kind of a "see what one can do", I think there is some serious potential in this framework. I'm still having fun with it!
Reply to this comment224 seconds? Thats my best, I get little glitches in survivor mode where it keeps my score across the screen, and it tends to not work every time I launch it This is a fun game! =) Chrome 4.0.296.30
Reply to this commentfucking awesome mines just 148 the screen is too small! haha love it
btw i got 463 on survival! beat that! :P
