Lame memory game
There is no skill necessary, just remember the patterns, held my interest for about 2 mins.

impossible movement
ok maybe i'm not spectacular at these kinds of games but i noticed that it's nearly impossible to move at times, especially in diagonal directions. when movement is this difficult, nothing else really matters!
Fuck this...
.... was how I reacted.
rote memorization
Well, the first part when the missiles come at you, is trivial; they're easy to avoid. Then stage 2 comes, with the energy beams, and I have to ask, wtf were you thinking? You have to stay in the middle for the first attack, and then cross over the beam when it becomes temporarily non-fatal, and then cross again, and do this or that, but it requires either predicting the future, or memorization from playing and losing the game vastly many times before. It doesn't matter how fast you are to react. There is NO solution if you don't take it upon yourself to cross over the beam when it goes dim, to the top or bottom. You have to GUESS beforehand that while the middle was safe for the first time, the top and bottom are safe next. Then if you get past that, they start doing asymmetrical things - and what's more, the beams aim up and down FASTER than you can move your little airplane. So AGAIN it does not matter how physically fast you as a player are to react, there is no solution if you just happen to be in the wrong location due to lack of foreknowledge of what is about to happen. And of course here's no progress save, no limited-number-of-trials progress save (i.e. 'extra lives'). One shot. Guess wrong, and you have to go through the whole sequence again. It's a glorified game of simon. Except at least with simon, it doesn't take nearly so long to re-enter all the information you have been provided with thusfar (unless you're really good and can remember a terribly long sequence). How fast does this get tiresome? I'll tell you how fast. Twice. That's how many times I played it. I am not inclined to give it a 3rd go. Bye bye. Off to play other games, better things to do, thank you very much.

was right the lasers start outside so there's no way to go outside the lasers thus forcing in the only safe spot (the middle). Once in the middle the lasers come down leaving no space or opening to get out. Other than that, well...
