YES, I FINALLY WON!!! Only took me 1.5 hours, but now I am the Master Of The Maxxout!
In all seriousness, good job! I loved the old school graphic style, particle effects and the warping through space background. Audio was strong too. At first I really sucked at the game and felt it was too hard. But after a while the challenge of it grew on me. If found myself improving rapidly and getting more and more into a state of flow. I found I couldn't stop until I finally cleared the level.
