Thanks for the review, and in answer to your "two" problems:
1. Yeah it was originally harder, until I added the shine, as long as you can see the small whiter dots, its easier to see, plus they're easier to see anyway once they're closer to the bottom since the background is lighter down there.
2. Trust me, Permenant(sp?) lasers didn't go down well with some of the other sites this game was shown to xP.
3. Skill is required, and sometimes you'll have to let the occasionaly atom drop by, I plan on adding a health power-up to the newgrounds game, so that might help you out.
