Good concept, lousy implementation

The basic game mechanic at play, you as a smart human against lots of robots with their own fixed rules, is a good one. And despite the flaws in the game, I have spent considerable time playing it. The flaws are however annoying enough that I'm not planning on upgrading to the paid version. On hard difficulty the game will often just hang between levels. The controls are imprecise, and the hold-down-to-preview workaround doesn't work near the top edge of the screen, so you will lose a fair number of lives just by getting the wrong move. There are also just plain logic bugs where the 'smart' robots don't follow their own rules and crash into asteroids. And sometimes they avoid other ships and sometimes they don't, probably based on the order of an internal list. Between those and the overall feel of the UI it just comes off as a hurried and unpolished game. I wouldn't put this one on my resume if I were a game developer.
