Heh. Money skin.

Oh, come clean now.

j/k

Anyway, this was rather cool. Moderately challenging and fun. If only the gfx wasn't of "placeholder quality". I wish people weren't so lazy and apathic when it comes to drawing a decent looking "unindentified flying object". Everyone, I mean everyone, can do better than a simple box.

I like the game play, it is really smooth.

But a little bit of a story line and graphics would make it much, much better.

Smooth gameplay, Out of place graphics (), enemies are not much of a challenge, the game could keep me playing till 5th level

and Gratz for the first place

But can you score 20K? You can't say the enemies are easy because they constantly get harder.
And you can skin the game instead of complaining about the GFX.

If you keep calling it skinning, I doubt you'll find someone willing to do it.
