Your PR metadata looks good, a reviewer will look at it shortly

Hi!

Just took a look at your game, and noticed a couple things:
First, there's some extra > characters before your metadata that are causing errors.
Second, it's not very clear how to play your game, could you add some instructions to the comment block at the top?

[aloysboscariol]

I just updated the game :) !

[whatwareweb]

OK, just looked at your game again.

First off, the game mechanics seem really nice, the physics are super clean.

Some things to do to improve it before we merge:

• I saw the instructions you put and then removed, could you just put those in a standard /* javascript comment block */ ?
• Improving the artwork could really give this game a level of polish. Making a background as well as some sprites for the player and enemies would be awesome. If you really want to go above and beyond to give the game some polish you might even consider adding animations if you want to do something extra

Thanks for your PR, looking good so far!

I just updated the game.
I added:

• Game menu
• 3 skins variants
• 3 maps variants
• input list down the screen
  But I couldn't add animations because the game was always crashing.
  I'll add:
• More instructions in the game comment
• A game thumbail (i'm working on it right now)

[aloysboscariol]

I added the instructions in the game comment, I added the thumbnail and I fixed the bugs. Let me know if there are any errors that I need to fix :)

Hi, i saw the updates and that is looking good so far!

Only thing that needs to be done now before we merge is that sometimes when you shoot, it just goes right through the aliens without anything happening. Not sure what's causing that, but can you take a look? After that's fixed i'll merge

Thanks!

[aloysboscariol]

Thanks, I will look on my side to find the error!

[aloysboscariol]

I think i see what's the problem.
In my code I do the collision test after an entry. But the aliens ' bullets move with "setInterval" so when a bullet touches an alien between 2 inputs, it doesn't work.

[aloysboscariol]

That's it! :)

OK, this game looks good!
